1 Abraham took a wife again; her name was Keturah.
2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's sons were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim.
4 Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5 Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.
6 To the sons of the concubines Abraham had, he gave gifts; and while he was still alive he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward, to the land of the East.
7 The span of Abraham's life, the years he lived, was a hundred and seventy-five years.
8 Then Abraham expired and died at a good old age, old and satisfied, and he was gathered to his people.
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre,
10 the field Abraham had bought from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.
11 After Abraham died, God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived near Beer-lahai-roi.
12 This is the line of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maidservant, bore to Abraham.
13 And these are the names of Ishmael's sons, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 These are Ishmael's sons, and these their names, by their settlements and their camps: twelve chiefs by their tribes.
17 The years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven years; then he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 They lived from Havilah to Shur, which faces Egypt as one goes toward Assyria. His lot fell over against all his brothers.
19 This is the line of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20 Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 Isaac pleaded with the LORD on behalf of his wife, since she was barren; the LORD responded to his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceived.
22 The children crashed against each other inside her, and she said, "If that is how it is, why am I like this?" So she went to seek the LORD.
23 The LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; two peoples will part from your body. One people will be stronger than the other, and the elder will serve the younger."
24 When her time to give birth came, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 The first one came out reddish, all of him like a hairy mantle, and they named him Esau.
26 After that his brother came out with his hand gripping Esau's heel, so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old at their birth.
27 The boys grew up; Esau became a man who knew hunting, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a mild man who stayed among the tents.
28 Isaac loved Esau, because game was in his mouth; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Jacob was boiling a stew when Esau came in from the open country, worn out.
30 Esau said to Jacob, "Let me swallow some of the red, that red there, for I am worn out." That is why he was named Edom.
31 But Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright, today."
32 Esau said, "Here I am, going to die; what good is a birthright to me?"
33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first, today." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Jacob then gave Esau bread and stewed lentils; he ate and drank, got up and went off. So Esau treated his birthright with contempt.
