1Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. 2And she bore him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. 3And Jokshan begat Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. 4And the sons of Midian: Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. 5And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac. 6But 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.

7And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life, which he lived: a hundred seventy-five years. 8And Abraham expired and died in a good old age, old and satisfied. And he was gathered to his people. 9And 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, 10The field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth. Abraham and Sarah his wife were buried there. 11And after the death of Abraham, it came to pass that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac lived by The Well of the Living One, My Beholder.

12And these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham. 13And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations. The firstborn of Ishmael was Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 14And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 15Hadad, and Tema and Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their towns and by their settlements; twelve chiefs according to their nations. 17And 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. 18And they lived from Havilah to Shur, which is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. And he died in the presence of all his brethren.

19And these were the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begat Isaac. 20And 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. 21And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife because she was barren. And the LORD heard him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22And the sons struggled together within her. And she said, "If it is well, why am I this way?" And she went to inquire of the LORD.

23And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two kinds of people shall be separated from your belly. And the one people shall be stronger than the other people, the older shall serve the younger."

24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, twins were in her womb! 25And the first came out red, like a hairy garment all over. And they called his name Esau. 26And 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.

27And the boys grew. And Esau was a skilled hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. 28And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his venison. But Rebekah loved Jacob.

29And Jacob boiled soup. And Esau came from the field, and he was faint. 30And 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. 31And Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright today." 32And Esau said, "Behold, I am at the point of dying, and what profit shall this birthright be to me?" 33And Jacob said, "Swear to me this day." And he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob. 34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and soup of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up and went his way. Thus did Esau despise his birthright.
