1 And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.2 She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.3 And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.4 And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.5 Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;6 But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.7 Now the years of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five.8 And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.9 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;10 The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.11 Now after the death of Abraham, the blessing of God was with Isaac, his son.12 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whose mother was Hagar the Egyptian, the servant of Sarah:13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam14 And Mishma and Dumah and Massa,15 Hadad and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.17 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.18 And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.19 Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:20 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.21 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.22 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.23 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.24 And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.25 And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.26 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.27 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.28 Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.29 And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;30 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.31 And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.32 And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?33 And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.34 Then Jacob gave him bread and soup; and he took food and drink and went away, caring little for his birthright.

1 Abraham vero aliam duxit uxorem nomine Ceturam : 2 qu peperit ei Zamran et Jecsan, et Madam, et Madian, et Jesboc, et Sue. 3 Jecsan quoque genuit Saba et Dadan. Filii Dadan fuerunt Assurim, et Latusim, et Loomin. 4 At vero ex Madian ortus est Epha, et Opher, et Henoch, et Abida, et Eldaa : omnes hi filii Cetur. 5 Deditque Abraham cuncta qu possederat, Isaac : 6 filiis autem concubinarum largitus est munera, et separavit eos ab Isaac filio suo, dum adhuc ipse viveret, ad plagam orientalem. 7 Fuerunt autem dies vit Abrah, centum septuaginta quinque anni. 8 Et deficiens mortuus est in senectute bona, provectque tatis et plenus dierum : congregatusque est ad populum suum. 9 Et sepelierunt eum Isaac et Ismal filii sui in spelunca duplici, qu sita est in agro Ephron filii Seor Hethi, e regione Mambre, 10 quem emerat a filiis Heth : ibi sepultus est ipse, et Sara uxor ejus. 11 Et post obitum illius benedixit Deus Isaac filio ejus, qui habitabat juxta puteum nomine Viventis et videntis.12 H sunt generationes Ismal filii Abrah, quem peperit ei Agar gyptia, famula Sar : et 13 hc nomina filiorum ejus in vocabulis et generationibus suis. Primogenitus Ismalis Nabaioth, deinde Cedar, et Adbeel, et Mabsam, 14 Masma quoque, et Duma, et Massa, 15 Hadar, et Thema, et Jethur, et Naphis, et Cedma. 16 Isti sunt filii Ismalis : et hc nomina per castella et oppida eorum, duodecim principes tribuum suarum. 17 Et facti sunt anni vit Ismalis centum triginta septem, deficiensque mortuus est, et appositus ad populum suum. 18 Habitavit autem ab Hevila usque Sur, qu respicit gyptum intrountibus Assyrios ; coram cunctis fratribus suis obiit.19 H quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham : Abraham genuit Isaac : 20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban. 21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis : qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebecc. 22 Sed collidebantur in utero ejus parvuli ; qu ait : Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere ? perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum. 23 Qui respondens ait : [Du gentes sunt in utero tuo,et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur,populusque populum superabit,et major serviet minori.] 24 Jam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero ejus reperti sunt. 25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus : vocatumque est nomen ejus Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu : et idcirco appellavit eum Jacob. 26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli. 27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola : Jacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis. 28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur : et Rebecca diligebat Jacob. 29 Coxit autem Jacob pulmentum : ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus, 30 ait : Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen ejus Edom. 31 Cui dixit Jacob : Vende mihi primogenita tua. 32 Ille respondit : En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita ? 33 Ait Jacob : Jura ergo mihi. Juravit ei Esau et vendidit primogenita. 34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit, et abiit, parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
