  • 1. And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.
  • 2. And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
  • 3. And Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan; and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, and the Letushim, and the Leummim.
  • 4. And the sons of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Enoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah.
  • 5. And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
  • 6. And 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. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.
  • 8. And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and full [of days]; and was gathered to his peoples.
  • 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 was opposite to Mamre --
  • 10. the field that Abraham had 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 at Beer-lahai-roi.
  • 12. And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's bondwoman, bore to Abraham.
  • 13. And 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. and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
  • 15. Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedmah.
  • 16. These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their hamlets and their encampments -- twelve princes of their peoples.
  • 17. And 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. And 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. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.
  • 20. And 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. And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca 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 inquire of Jehovah.
  • 23. And 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. 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 a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
  • 26. And 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. And 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. And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.
  • 29. And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.
  • 30. And 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. And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.
  • 32. And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?
  • 33. And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
  • 34. And 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.
