| 1 | Then againe Abraham tooke a wife, & her name was Keturah. |
| 2 | And shee bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. |
| 3 | And Iokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sonnes of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. |
| 4 | And the sonnes of Midian, Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah: all these were the children of Keturah. |
| 5 | And Abraham gaue all that he had, vnto Isaac. |
| 6 | But vnto the sonnes of the concubines which Abraham had, Abraham gaue gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward, vnto the East country. |
| 7 | And these are the dayes of the yeres of Abrahams life which he liued; an hundred, threescore & fifteene yeeres. |
| 8 | Then Abraham gaue vp the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of yeeres, and was gathered to his people. |
| 9 | And his sonnes Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the caue of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the sonne of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; |
| 10 | The field which Abraham purchased of the sonnes of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. |
| 11 | And it came to passe after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his sonne Isaac, and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi. |
| 12 | Now these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whom Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayd, bare vnto Abraham: |
| 13 | And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations; The first borne of Ishmael, Nebaioth, and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, |
| 14 | And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, |
| 15 | Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |
| 16 | These are the sonnes of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their townes and by their castels; twelue princes according to their nations. |
| 17 | And these are the yeeres of the life of Ishmael; an hundred and thirty and seuen yeeres: and he gaue vp the ghost and died, and was gathered vnto his people. |
| 18 | And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assyria: and hee died in the presence of all his brethren. |
| 19 | And these are the generations of Isaac, Abrahams sonne: Abraham begate Isaac. |
| 20 | And Isaac was fortie yeeres old when hee tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. |
| 21 | And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued. |
| 22 | And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? and shee went to enquire of the LORD. |
| 23 | And the LORD said vnto her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and the one people shalbe stronger then the other people: and the elder shall serue the yonger. |
| 24 | And when her dayes to be deliuered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinnes in her wombe. |
| 25 | And the first came out red, all ouer like an hairy garment: and they called his name, Esau. |
| 26 | And after that came his brother out, and his hand tooke holde on Esaus heele; and his name was called Iacob: and Isaac was threescore yeres old, when shee bare them. |
| 27 | And the boyes grew; and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the fielde: and Iacob was a plaine man, dwelling in tents. |
| 28 | And Isaac loued Esau, because he did eate of his venison: but Rebekah loued Iacob. |
| 29 | And Iacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and hee was faint. |
| 30 | And Esau said to Iacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage: for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom. |
| 31 | And Iacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. |
| 32 | And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright doe to me? |
| 33 | And Iacob said, Sweare to mee this day: and he sware to him: and he sold his birthright vnto Iacob. |
| 34 | Then Iacob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eate and drinke, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. |
