All these were the children of Keturah.H1121H4080H5891H6081H2585H28H420H1121H69895Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.H85H5414H33276But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, while he was still living, and he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country.H1121H6370H85H85H5414H4979H7971H3327H1121H2416H6924H6924H7767This is the length of Abraham's life, one hundred seventy-five years.H3117H8141H85H2416H2425H3967H8141H7657H8141H2568H81418Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.H85H1478H4191H2896H7872H2205H7649H622H59719His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre,H1121H3327H3458H6912H4631H4375H7704H6085H1121H6714H2850H6440H447110the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with his wife Sarah.H7704H85H7069H1121H2845H85H6912H8283H80211After the death of Abraham God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi.H310H4194H85H430H1288H1121H3327H3327H3427H5973H88312These are the descendants of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave-girl, bore to Abraham.H8435H3458H85H1121H1904H4713H8283H8198H3205H8513These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, named in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,H8034H1121H3458H8034H8435H1060H3458H5032H6938H110H401714Mishma, Dumah, Massa,H4927H1746H485415Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.H2316H8485H3195H5305H692916These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes.H1121H3458H8034H2691H2918H8147H6240H5387H52317(This is the length of the life of Ishmael, one hundred thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.)H8141H2416H3458H3967H8141H7970H8141H7651H8141H1478H4191H622H597118They settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled down alongside of all his people.H7931H2341H7793H6440H4714H935H804H5307H6440H25119These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,H8435H3327H85H1121H85H3205H332720and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean.H3327H705H8141H1121H3947H7259H802H1323H1328H761H6307H269H3837H76121Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.H3327H6279H3068H5227H802H6135H3068H6279H7259H802H202922The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is to be this way, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.H1121H7533H7130H559H2088H3212H1875H306823And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."H3068H559H8147H1471H990H8147H3816H6504H4578H3816H553H3816H7227H5647H681024When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb.H3117H3205H4390H8380H99025The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they named him Esau.H7223H3318H132H8181H155H7121H8034H621526Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.H310H3318H251H3318H3027H270H6215H6119H8034H7121H3290H3327H8346H8141H1121H320527When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.H5288H1431H6215H3045H6718H376H7704H3290H8535H376H3427H16828Isaac loved Esau, because he was fond of game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.H3327H157H6215H6310H6718H7259H157H329029Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.H3290H2102H5138H6215H935H7704H588930Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, for I am famished!" (Therefore he was called Edom.)H6215H559H3290H3938H4480H122H122H5889H8034H7121H12331Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."H3290H559H4376H3117H106232Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?"H6215H559H1980H4191H106233Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.H3290H559H7650H3117H7650H4376H1062H329034Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.H3290H5414H6215H3899H5138H5742H398H8354H6965H3212H6215H959H1062
