1 Then again Abra­ham took a wife, and her name was Ke­tu­rah. 2 And she bare him Zim­ran, and Jok­shan, and Medan, and Mid­i­an, and Ish­bak, and Shuah. 3 And Jok­shan be­gat She­ba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Le­tushim, and Leum­mim. 4 And the sons of Mid­i­an; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abi­da, and El­daah. All these were the chil­dren of Ke­tu­rah. 5 And Abra­ham gave all that he had unto Isaac. 6 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 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hun­dred three­score and fif­teen years. 8 Then Abra­ham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years; and was gath­ered to his peo­ple. 9 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 of the sons of Heth: there was Abra­ham buried, and Sarah his wife. 11 And it came to pass af­ter the death of Abra­ham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well La­hairoi. 12 Now these are the gen­er­a­tions of Ish­mael, Abraham's son, whom Ha­gar the Egyp­tian, Sarah's hand­maid, bare unto Abra­ham: 13 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, 14 And Mish­ma, and Dumah, and Mas­sa, 15 Hadar, and Tema, Je­tur, Naphish, and Kedemah: 16 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 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 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 And these are the gen­er­a­tions of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abra­ham be­gat Isaac: 20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Re­bekah to wife, the daugh­ter of Bethuel the Syr­i­an of Pada­naram, the sis­ter to La­ban the Syr­i­an. 21 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 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 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 And when her days to be de­liv­ered were ful­filled, be­hold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy gar­ment; and they called his name Esau. 26 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 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 And Isaac loved Esau, be­cause he did eat of his veni­son: but Re­bekah loved Ja­cob. 29 And Ja­cob sod pot­tage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: 30 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 And Ja­cob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. 32 And Esau said, Be­hold, I am at the point to die: and what prof­it shall this birthright do to me? 33 And Ja­cob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Ja­cob. 34 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.
