* Then again Abraham took a wife , and her name was Keturah . * And she bore him Zimran , and Jokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuah . * And Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan . And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim . * And the sons of Midian : Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah . All these [were ] the sons of Keturah . * And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac . * But to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had , Abraham gave gifts . And he sent them away from Isaac his son while he still lived , eastward to the east country . * And these [are ] the days of the years of Abraham 's life , which he lived : a hundred seventy-five years . * And Abraham expired and died in a good old age , old and satisfied . And he was gathered to his people . * 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 , * the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth . Abraham and Sarah his wife were buried there . * And after the death of Abraham , it happened that God blessed his son Isaac . And Isaac lived by The Well of the Living One , My Beholder . * And these [are ] the generations of Ishmael , Abraham 's son , whom Hagar the Egyptian , Sarah 's handmaid , bore to Abraham . * And these [are ] the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names , according to their generations . The first-born of Ishmael was Nebajoth ; and Kedar , and Adbeel , and Mibsam , * and Mishma , and Dumah , and Massa , * Hadad , and Tema and Jetur , Naphish , and Kedemah . * These [were ] the sons of Ishmael , and these [were ] their names , by their towns and by their settlements ; [twelve ] chiefs according to their nations . * And these [were ] the years of the life of Ishmael , a hundred thirty-seven years . And he expired and died , and was gathered to his people . * And they lived from Havilah to Shur , which [is ] before Egypt , [as ] you go toward Assyria . And he died in the presence of all his brothers . * And these [were ] the generations of Isaac , Abraham 's son . Abraham fathered Isaac . * And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife , the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram , the sister of Laban the Syrian . * And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife , because she [was ] barren . And the LORD heard him , and Rebekah his wife conceived . * And the sons struggled together within her . And she said , If [it is ] so , why [am ] I this way ? And she went to inquire of the LORD . * And the LORD said to her , Two nations [are ] in your womb , and two kinds of people shall be separated from your bowels . And the one people shall be stronger than the other people , the older shall serve the younger . * And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled , behold , twins [were ] in her womb ! * And the first came out red , all over like a hairy garment . And they called his name Esau . * And after that his brother came out , and his hand took hold on Esau 's heel . And his name was called Jacob . And Isaac [was ] sixty years old when she bore them . * And the boys grew . And Esau was a man knowing hunting , and Jacob was a simple man , living in tents . * And Isaac loved Esau , for game was in [his ] mouth . But Rebekah loved Jacob . * And Jacob boiled soup . And Esau came from the field , and he was faint . * And Esau said to Jacob , I beg you , Let me eat of the red , this red [soup ], for I am faint . Therefore his name was called Edom . * And Jacob said , Sell me your birthright today . * And Esau said , Behold , I [am ] at the point of dying , and what [profit shall ] this birthright be to me ? * And Jacob said , Swear to me this day . And he swore to him , and he sold his birthright to Jacob . * Then Jacob gave Esau bread and soup of lentils . And he ate and drank , and rose up and went his way . And Esau despised [his ] birthright .
