1Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah .
2She bore him Zimran , Jokshan , Medan , Midian , Ishbak , and Shuah .
3Jokshan became the father of Sheba , and Dedan . The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim , and Leummim .
4The sons of Midian were Ephah , Epher , Hanoch , Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah .
5Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac ,
6but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines . While he still lived , he sent them away from Isaac his son , eastward , to the east country .
7These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived : one hundred and seventy-five years .
8Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age , an old man , and full of years , and was gathered to his people .
9Isaac and Ishmael , his sons , buried him in the cave of Machpelah , in the field of Ephron , the son of Zohar the Hittite , which is near Mamre ,
10the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth . Abraham was buried there with Sarah , his wife.
11After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac , his son . Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.
12Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael , Abraham’s son , whom Hagar the Egyptian , Sarah ’s servant , bore to Abraham.
13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according to the order of their birth : the firstborn of Ishmael , Nebaioth , then Kedar , Adbeel, Mibsam ,
14Mishma , Dumah , Massa ,
15Hadad , Tema , Jetur , Naphish , and Kedemah .
16These are the sons of Ishmael , and these are their names , by their villages , and by their encampments : twelve princes , according to their nations.
17These are the years of the life of Ishmael : one hundred and thirty-seven years . He gave up his spirit and died , and was gathered to his people .
18They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt , as you go towards Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
19This is the history of the generations of Isaac , Abraham’s son . Abraham became the father of Isaac .
20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah , the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram , the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren . The LORD was entreated by him , and Rebekah his wife conceived .
22The children struggled together within her . She said , “If it is like this , why do I live ?” She went to enquire of the LORD .
23The LORD said to her ,
“Two nations are in your womb .
Two peoples will be separated from your body .
The one people will be stronger than the other people .
The elder will serve the younger .”
24When her days to be delivered were fulfilled , behold , there were twins in her womb.
25The first came out red all over , like a hairy garment. They named him Esau .
26After that , his brother came out , and his hand had hold on Esau ’s heel . He was named Jacob . Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them .
27The boys grew . Esau was a skilful hunter , a man of the field . Jacob was a quiet man , living in tents.
28Now Isaac loved Esau , because he ate his venison . Rebekah loved Jacob .
29Jacob boiled stew . Esau came in from the field , and he was famished .
30Esau said to Jacob , “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished .” Therefore his name was called Edom.[#25:30 “Edom” means “red”.]
31Jacob said, “First , sell me your birthright .”
32Esau said, “Behold , I am about to die . What good is the birthright to me ?”
33Jacob said, “Swear to me first .”
He swore to him . He sold his birthright to Jacob .
34Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew . He ate and drank , rose up , and went his way . So Esau despised his birthright .
