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

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

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

3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

And Jokshan 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 Abidah, and Eldaah. All these [were] the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 but 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.

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 These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

And these [are] the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

8 Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and 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;

10 the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.

12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.

Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

13 These 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,

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

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

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

Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

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

17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people.

18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that [is] before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: [and] he died in the presence of all his brethren.

19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20 Isaac 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.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

21 Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of the LORD.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

23 The 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.”

And the LORD said unto her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people 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 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.

25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 After 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.

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] threescore years old when she bare them.

27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint:

30 Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage; ] for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31 Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”

And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33 Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birthright.
