1
And Abraham addeth and taketh a wife , and her name [is] Keturah ;
2
and she beareth to him Zimran , and Jokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuah .
3
And Jokshan hath begotten Sheba and Dedan ; and the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim , and Leummim ;
4
and the sons of Midian [are] Ephah , and Epher, and Hanoch , and Abidah, and Eldaah: all these [are] sons of Keturah .
5
And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac ;
6
and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts , and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country .
7
And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham , which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;
8
and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
9
And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah , at the field of Ephron , son of Zoar the Hittite , which [is] before Mamre --
10
the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth -- there hath Abraham been buried , and Sarah his wife .
11
And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham , that God blesseth Isaac his son ; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.
12
And these [are] births of Ishmael , Abraham 's son , whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah 's handmaid , hath borne to Abraham ;
13
and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according to their births: 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 sons of Ishmael , and these their names , by their villages , and by their towers ; twelve princes according to their peoples.
17
And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael , a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth , and is gathered unto his people;
18
and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur , which [is] before Egypt , in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen .
19
And these [are] births of Isaac , Abraham 's son : Abraham hath begotten Isaac ;
20
and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah , daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram , sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife .
21
And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife , for she [is] barren : and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,
22
and the children struggle together within her, and she saith , `If [it is] right -- why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah .
23
And Jehovah saith to her, `Two nations [are] in thy womb , and Two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one] people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'
24
And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins [are] in her womb ;
25
and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau ;
26
and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel , and one calleth his name Jacob ; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
27
And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting , a man of the field ; and Jacob [is] a plain man , inhabiting tents ;
28
and Isaac loveth Esau , for [his] hunting [is] in his mouth ; and Rebekah is loving Jacob .
29
And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field , and he [is] weary;
30
and Esau saith unto Jacob , `Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];
31
and Jacob saith , `Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'
32
And Esau saith , `Lo, I am going to die , and what is this to me -- birthright?'
33
and Jacob saith , `Swear to me to-day :' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob ;
34
and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh , and riseth , and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.
