1 And Abraham took another wife, named Keturu.
2 She gave birth to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak and Shuah.
3 Jokshan gave birth to Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were: Ashurim, Letushim and Leumim.
4 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Ether, Hanoch, Avid and Yeldah. All these sons of Keturah.
5 And Abraham gave all that was to him, to Isaac,
6th And the children of the concubines that were with Abraham gave Abraham gifts and sent them away from Isaac, his son, even during his life, to the east, to the eastern land.
7th The days of Abraham's life that he lived were one hundred and seventy-five years;
8 And Abraham died, and died in a good old age, old and full of life, and was gathered to his people.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite who was against Mamre,
10 In the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There they buried Abraham and Sarah, his wife.

eleven After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived at Beer-lahay-swarm.
12 Here is the genealogy of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Abraham gave birth to Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid;
13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, whose names are according to their genealogy: the firstborn of Ishmael, Navaioth, [after him] Kedar, Adbeel, Mivsam,
14 Mishma, Duma, Massa,
15 Hadad, Fema, Itetur, Nafish and Kedma.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, in their villages, in their wilderness. [These] are the twelve princes of their families.
17th But the years of Ishmael's life were one hundred and thirty-seven years; And he died, and died, and was gathered to his people.
18 They lived from Khavila to Sur, which is before Egypt, as you go to Assyria. They settled before all their brothers.

19 Here is the genealogy of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham begot Isaac.
20 Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Mesopotamia, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
21 And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; And the Lord heard him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Sons in her womb began to beat, and she said: if this happens, then why do I need it? And she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 The Lord said to her, "Two tribes are in your womb, and two different people will come from your womb; One nation will be stronger than another, and the greater will serve the less.
24 And the time has come to give birth to her: and the twins are in her womb.
25 The first came out red, all leathery, shaggy; And called his name Esau.
26th Then his brother came out, holding his hand by the heel of Esau; And the name of Jacob was called to him. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27th The children grew up, and Esau became a man of skill in hunting, a man of fields; And Jacob is a meek man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac loved Esau, because his game was to his liking, and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 And Jacob cooked the food; And Esau came from the field tired.
thirty And Esau said unto Jacob, Give me to eat red, red of it, for I am tired. From this is given him the name: Edom.
31 But Jacob said: Sell me now your birthright.
32 Esau said: Behold, I die, what is in this birthright for me?
33 Jacob said: swear to me now. He swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and a dish of lentils; And he ate and drank, and rose and went; And Esau despised his birthright.
