1
Then again Abraham took a wife , and her name was Keturah .
2
And she bore him Zimran , and Jokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuah .
3
And Jokshan begat Sheba , and Dedan . And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim and Leummim .
4
And the sons of Midian ; Ephah , and Epher, and Hanoch , and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah .
5
And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac .
6
But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts , and sent them away from Isaac his son (while he yet lived) eastward, to the east country .
7
And these are the days of the years of Abraham 's life which he lived, a hundred and seventy five years.
8
Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
9
And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah , in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite , which is before Mamre ;
10
The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth : there was Abraham buried , and Sarah his wife .
11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham , that God blessed his son Isaac : and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael , Abraham 's son , whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah 's handmaid , bore to Abraham .
13
And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according to their generations: The first-born of Ishmael , Nebajoth ; and Kedar , and Adbeel, and Mibsam ,
14
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15
Hadar, and Tema , Jetur , Naphish , and Kedemah :
16
These are the sons of Ishmael , and these are their names , by their towns, and by their castles ; twelve princes according to their nations.
17
And these are the years of the life of Ishmael ; a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he expired and died , and was gathered to his people.
18
And they dwelt from Havilah to Shur , that is before Egypt , as thou goest towards Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren .
19
And these are the generations of Isaac , Abraham 's son : Abraham begat Isaac :
20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife , the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram , the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife , because she was barren : and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
And the children struggled together within her: and she said , If it is so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD .
23
And the LORD said to her, Two nations are in thy womb , and Two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and the one people shall be stronger than the other people ; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb .
25
And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau .
26
And after that his brother was born , and his hand took hold on Esau's heel ; and his name was called Jacob : and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27
And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field ; and Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents .
28
And Isaac loved Esau , because he ate of his venison : but Rebekah loved Jacob .
29
And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field , and he was faint.
30
And Esau said to Jacob , Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom .
31
And Jacob said , Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
32
And Esau said , Behold, I am at the point to die : and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
33
And Jacob said , Swear to me this day ; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob .
34
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank , and rose and went his way : thus Esau despised his birth-right.
