* And Abraham took another wife and her name , was Keturah ; * and she bare to him Zimran , and Yokshan , and Medan , and Midian , and Ishbak , and Shuah . * And , Yokshan , begat 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 whom Abraham had , Abraham gave gifts , and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived , eastward unto the land of the east . * Now , these , are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he liveda hundred and seventy-five years . * So Abraham breathed his last , and died in a fine old age , old and satisfied , and was gathered unto his people , * And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him , in the cave of Machpelah , in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite , which is over against Mamre ; * the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth , there , was buried Abraham , with Sarah his wife . * And it came to pass after the death of Abraham , that God blessed Isaac his son , and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi . * Now , these , are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham , whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham ; * and these , are the names of the sons of Ishmael , by their names after their generations , the firstborn of Ishmael , Nebaioth , and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam ; * and Mishma and Dumah , and Massa ; * Ha-dad , and Tema , Jetur , Naphish , and Kedemah : * these , same , are the sons of Ishmael and these , their names , by their villages and by their encampments , twelve princes , after their tribes . * And these , are the years of the life of Ishmael , a hundred and thirty-seven years , and he breathed his last and died , and was gathered unto his people . * And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur , which is over against Egypt , as thou goest in towards Assyria , over against all his brethren , he settled down . * And , these , are the generations of Isaac , son of Abraham , Abraham , begat Isaac ; * and it came to pass that , Isaac , was forty years old , when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian , of the Plain of Syria , sister of Laban the Syrian . to himself to wife . * So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife , for she was , barren , and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him , and Rebekah his wife conceived . * And the sons within her struggled together , so she said If so , wherefore now am , I ,? And she went to seek Yahweh . * And Yahweh said to her . Two nations , are in thy womb , And two races , from thy body , shall be parted , And , one race , shall be stronger , than the other race , And the elder , shall serve the younger . * Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth , and lo ! twins in her womb . * And the first came forth red , all over , as a mantle of hair , so they called his name , Esau , * And , after that , came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau , so they called his name Jacob Now , Isaac , was sixty years old when she bare them , * And when the youths grew up , it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field , but , Jacob , was a ready man , dwelling in tents . * And , Isaac , loved , Esau , because of the game he put in his mouth , but , Rebekah , was a lover of Jacob !. * And Jacob had boiled pottage , when Esau came in from the field , he , being famished . * So Esau said unto Jacob . Do let me devour some of the redthis red , for , famished , I am . For this cause , was his name called Edom . * And Jacob said , Come sell , just now , thy birthright unto me . * And Esau said , Here am I , on the point of dying , wherefore , then , should I , have , a birthright ? * And Jacob said , Come swear to me just now ! And he sware to him , and sold his birthright to Jacob . * And Jacob , having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils , he did eat and drink and rose up , and went his way , thus Esau despised his birthright !
