  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 Abraham2019s 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, Abraham2019s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah2019s 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, Abraham2019s 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 Esau2019s 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. 🔗
