1 Then again Abraham took a wife , and her name was Keturah .
2 And she bare 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 unto Isaac .
6 But unto the sons of the concubines , which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts , and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived , eastward , unto the east country .
7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived , an hundred threescore and fifteen years .
8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost , 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 Lahairoi .
12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael , Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian , Sarah’s handmaid , bare unto Abraham :
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according to their generations : the firstborn 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 , an hundred and thirty and seven years : and he gave up the ghost and died ; and was gathered unto his people .
18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur , that is before Egypt , as thou goest toward 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 Padanaram , the sister to Laban the Syrian .
21 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife , because she was barren : and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived .
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said , If it be so, why am I thus ? And she went to enquire of the LORD .
23 And the LORD said unto 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 came out red, all over like an hairy garment ; and they called his name Esau .
26 And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel ; and his name was called Jacob : and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them .
27 And the boys grew : and Esau was a cunning hunter , a man of the field ; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents .
28 And Isaac loved Esau , because he did eat of his venison : but Rebekah loved Jacob .
29 And Jacob sod 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 me this day thy birthright .
32 And Esau said , Behold , I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
33 And Jacob said , Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob .
34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles ; and he did eat and drink , and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright .
