1 A nd Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

2 A nd she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 A nd Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.

4 A nd the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.

5 A nd Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

6 A nd to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and, while he yet lived, sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward to the east country.

7 A nd these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 A nd Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full; and was gathered to his peoples.

9 A nd his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which was opposite to Mamre—

10 t he field that Abraham had purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 A nd it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-lahai-roi.

12 A nd these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.

13 A nd these are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their names according to their generations: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 a nd Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

15 H adad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.

16 T hese are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments—twelve princes of their peoples.

17 A nd these are the years of the life of Ishmael: a hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his peoples.

18 A nd they dwelt from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite to Egypt, as one goes towards Assyria. He settled before the face of all his brethren.

19 A nd these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.

20 A nd Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

21 A nd Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived.

22 A nd the children struggled together within her; and she said, If so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

23 A nd Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.

24 A nd when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 A nd the first came out red—all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 A nd after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

27 A nd the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents.

28 A nd Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.

29 A nd Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

30 A nd Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red—the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.

31 A nd Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.

32 A nd Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?

33 A nd Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 A nd Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
