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 Lahai-roi.
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 Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21
And Isaac intreated the
L
ORD
for his wife, because she
was
barren: and the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
.
23
And the
L
ORD
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.
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.
