Now Abraham took
another
wife
, 1whose name
was Keturah
.
aShe bore to him Zimran
and Jokshan
and Medan
and Midian
and Ishbak
and Shuah
.
Jokshan 1became
the father
of Sheba
and Dedan
. And the sons
of Dedan
were Asshurim
and Letushim
and Leummim
.
The sons of Midian
were Ephah
and Epher
and Hanoch
and Abida
and Eldaah
. All
these
were the sons
of Keturah
.
aNow Abraham gave
all
that he had to Isaac
;
but to the sons of 1his concubines
, Abraham
gave
gifts
while he was still
living
, and asent
them away
from his son
Isaac
eastward
, to the land
of the east
.
These are 1all
the years
of Abraham's
life
that he lived
, aone hundred
and seventy-five
years
.
Abraham breathed
his last
and died
ain a 1ripe
old
age
, an old
man
and satisfied
with life; and he was bgathered
to his people
.
Then his sons Isaac
and Ishmael
buried
him in athe cave
of Machpelah
, in the field
of Ephron
the son
of Zohar
the Hittite
, facing
Mamre
,
athe field which
Abraham
purchased
from the sons
of Heth
; there
Abraham
was buried
with Sarah
his wife
.
It came about after
the death
of Abraham
, that aGod
blessed
his son
Isaac
; and Isaac
1lived
by bBeer-lahai-roi
.
Now these are the records of the generations
of aIshmael
, Abraham's
son
, whom
Hagar
the Egyptian
, Sarah's
maid
, bore
to Abraham
;
and these are the names
of athe sons
of Ishmael
, by their names
, 1in the order
of their birth
: Nebaioth
, the firstborn
of Ishmael
, and Kedar
and Adbeel
and Mibsam
and Mishma and Dumah
and Massa
,
Hadad and Tema
, Jetur
, Naphish
and Kedemah
.
These are the sons
of Ishmael
and these
are their names
, by their villages
, and by their camps
; atwelve
princes
according to their 1tribes
.
These are the years
of the life
of Ishmael
, aone hundred
and thirty-seven
years
; and he breathed
his last
and died
, and was bgathered
to his people
.
They 1settled from aHavilah
to bShur
which
is 2east
of Egypt
3as one goes
toward Assyria
; che 4settled
in defiance
of all
his 5relatives
.
Now these are the records of athe generations
of Isaac
, Abraham's
son
: Abraham
1became
the father
of Isaac
;
and Isaac was forty
years
old
when he took
aRebekah
, the bdaughter
of Bethuel
the 1Aramean
of Paddan-aram
, the csister
of Laban
the 1Aramean
, to be his wife
.
Isaac prayed
to the LORD
on behalf
of his wife
, because
she was barren
; and athe LORD
1answered
him and Rebekah
his wife
bconceived
.
But the children struggled
together within
her; and she said
, "If
it is so
, why
then am I this way?" So she went
to ainquire
of the LORD
.
The LORD said
to her, " aTwo
nations
are in your womb
; bAnd two
peoples
will be separated
from your body
; And one people
shall be stronger
than
the other
; And cthe older
shall serve
the younger
."
When her days to be delivered
were fulfilled
, behold
, there were twins
in her womb
.
Now the first came
forth
red
, aall
over like a hairy
garment
; and they named
him Esau
.
Afterward his brother
came
forth
with ahis hand
holding
on to Esau's
heel
, so bhis name
was called
1Jacob
; and Isaac
was csixty
years
old
when she gave
birth
to them.
When the boys grew
up, Esau
became
a skillful
hunter
, a man
of the field
, but Jacob
was a 1peaceful
man
, 2 aliving
in tents
.
Now Isaac loved
Esau
, because
1he had aa taste
for game
, bbut Rebekah
loved
Jacob
.
When Jacob had cooked
astew
, Esau
came
in from the field
and he was 1famished
;
and Esau said
to Jacob
, "Please
let me have
a swallow
of 1that red
stuff
there, for I am 2famished
." Therefore
his name
was called
3Edom
.
But Jacob said
, " 1First
sell
me your abirthright
."
Esau said
, "Behold
, I am
about
to die
; so of what
use then is the birthright
to me?"
And Jacob said
, " 1First
swear
to me"; so he swore
to him, and asold
his birthright
to Jacob
.
Then Jacob gave
Esau
bread
and lentil
stew
; and he ate
and drank
, and rose
and went
on his way
. Thus Esau
despised
his birthright
.
