[1]And Abraham took another wife, and her name was 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 Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
[4]And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, 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, that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he 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, a hundre threescore and fifteen years.
[8]And Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gathered to his people.
[9]And Isaac and Ishmael his sons 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 children of Heth; there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.
[11]And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
[12]Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.
[13]And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
[14]And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;
[15]Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedem;
[16]These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.
[17]And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expired and died; and was gathered unto his people.
[18]And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Asshur: over against all his brethren he did settle.
[19]And these are the generations of Isa Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.
[20]And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
[21]And Isaac entreated 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 for his wife, because she was barren; and 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 let Himself be entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
[22]And the children struggled together within her; and she said: 'If it be so, wherefore do I live?' And she went to inquire of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[23]And 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 said unto her: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples 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 forth ruddy, all over like a hairy mantle; and they called his name Esau.
[26]And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac threescore years old when she bore them.
[27]And the boys grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
[28]Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
[29]And Jacob sod pottage; and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.
[30]And Esau said to Jacob: 'Let me swallow, I pray thee, some of this red, red pottage; for I am faint.' Therefore was his name called Edom.
[31]And Jacob said: 'Sell me first thy birth right.'
[32]And Esau said: 'Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall the birthright do to me?'
[33]And Jacob said: 'Swear to me first'; and he swore unto him; and he sold h birthright unto Jacob.
[34]And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
