1. Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. 
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life, 175 years.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. 
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. (These are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria. He settled over against all his kinsmen. 
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac,
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the LORD.
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” 
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.
<a id="25" name="25"></a>
25. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau.
<a id="26" name="26"></a>
26. Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. 
<a id="27" name="27"></a>
27. When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
<a id="28" name="28"></a>
28. Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 
<a id="29" name="29"></a>
29. Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.
<a id="30" name="30"></a>
30. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.)
<a id="31" name="31"></a>
31. Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.”
<a id="32" name="32"></a>
32. Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?”
<a id="33" name="33"></a>
33. Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
<a id="34" name="34"></a>
34. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
