THEN again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000687">2</a>. And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000688">3</a>. And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan.  And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000689">4</a>. And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah.  All these were the children of Keturah.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000690">5</a>. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000691">6</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000692">7</a>. And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000693">8</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000694">9</a>. 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;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000695">10</a>. The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000696">11</a>. And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000697">12</a>. Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000698">13</a>. 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,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000699">14</a>. And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000700">15</a>. Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000701">16</a>. These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000702">17</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000703">18</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000704">19</a>. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000705">20</a>. And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000706">21</a>. And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000707">22</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000708">23</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000709">24</a>. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000710">25</a>. And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000711">26</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000712">27</a>. And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000713">28</a>. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000714">29</a>. And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000715">30</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000716">31</a>. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000717">32</a>. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000718">33</a>. And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1000719">34</a>. 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.</li>
