And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. +And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah. +Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac; +But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country. +Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five. +And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people. +And Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, put him to rest in the hollow rock of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, near Mamre; +The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife. +Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son. +Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah: +These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then 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 in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples. +And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people. +And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers. +Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac: +Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife. +Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child. +And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord. +And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger. +And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body. +And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau. +And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them. +And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. +Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob. +And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food; +And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom. +And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright. +And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me? +And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob. +Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright. |
