¹ Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.

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

³ And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

⁴ And the sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Enoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these [were] the sons 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 [were] the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy-five years.

⁸ Then Abraham expired 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] in front of 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, son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, gave birth unto Abraham:

¹³ And these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their lineages: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth, and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

¹⁵ Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

¹⁶ These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names, by their towns and by their palaces; twelve princes according to their families.

¹⁷ And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty-seven years; and Ishmael 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 Assyria; [and] he fell in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁹ And these [are] the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac;

²⁰ and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel, the Aramean of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Aramean.

²¹ And Isaac prayed unto the LORD for his wife because she [was] barren; and the LORD accepted him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

²² And the sons struggled together within her; and she said, If [this is] so, why should I [live]? 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] 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 out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

²⁶ And afterwards his brother came out with Esau's heel grasped in his hand; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac [was] sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

²⁷ And the boys grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] an upright man, remaining in the tents.

²⁸ And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of [his] venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁹ And Jacob boiled pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint;

³⁰ and Esau said to Jacob, Give me to eat, I pray thee, of that 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 swore unto him and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

³⁴ Then Jacob gave Esau of the bread and of the pottage of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up, and went away. Thus Esau despised [his] birthright.:
