Abraham’s Death
Now Abraham took another wife, 1Lit and her namewhose name was Keturah. A1 Chr 1:32, 33She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah. Jokshan 1Lit begotbecame the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim. The sons of Midian were Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah. AGen 24:35, 36Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac; but to the sons of 1Lit concubines which belonged to Abrahamhis concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and AGen 21:14sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.
These are 1Lit the days ofall the years of Abraham’s life that he lived, AGen 12:4one hundred and seventy-five years. Abraham breathed his last and died AGen 15:15; 47:8, 9in a 1Lit goodripe old age, an old man and satisfied with life; and he was BGen 25:17; 35:29; 49:29, 33gathered to his people. Then his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in AGen 23:17, 18; 49:29, 30; 50:13the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre, 10 AGen 23:3-16the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth; there Abraham was buried with Sarah his wife. 11 It came about after the death of Abraham, that AGen 12:2, 3; 22:17; 26:3God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac 1Lit dweltlived by BGen 16:14; 24:62Beer-lahai-roi.
Descendants of Ishmael
12 Now these are the records of the generations of AGen 16:15Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maid, bore to Abraham; 13 and these are the names of A1 Chr 1:29-31the sons of Ishmael, by their names, 1Lit in regard to their generationsin the order of their birth: Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam 14 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, by their villages, and by their camps; AGen 17:20twelve princes according to their 1Or peoplestribes. 17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael, AGen 16:16one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he breathed his last and died, and was BGen 25:8; 49:33gathered to his people. 18 They 1Lit dweltsettled from A1 Sam 15:7Havilah to BGen 20:1Shur which is 2Lit beforeeast of Egypt 3Lit as you goas one goes toward Assyria; CGen 16:12he 4Lit fell over againstsettled in defiance of all his 5Lit brothersrelatives.
Isaac’s Sons
19 Now these are the records of AMatt 1:2the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham 1Lit begotbecame the father of Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took AGen 24:15, 29, 67Rebekah, the BGen 22:23daughter of Bethuel the 1I.e. SyrianAramean of Paddan-aram, the CGen 24:29sister of Laban the 1I.e. SyrianAramean, to be his wife. 21 Isaac prayed to the Loʀᴅ on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and A1 Sam 1:17; 1 Chr 5:20; 2 Chr 33:13; Ezra 8:23; Ps 127:3the Loʀᴅ 1Lit was entreated of himanswered him and Rebekah his wife BRom 9:10conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why then am I this way?” So she went to A1 Sam 9:9; 10:22inquire of the Loʀᴅ. 23 The Loʀᴅ said to her,
AGen 17:4-6, 16; Num 20:14; Deut 2:4, 8Two nations are in your womb;
BGen 27:29And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people shall be stronger than the other;
And CGen 27:40; Mal 1:2, 3; Rom 9:12the older shall serve the younger.”
24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 Now the first came forth red, AGen 27:11all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came forth with AHos 12:3his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so BGen 27:36his name was called 1I.e. one who takes by the heel or supplantsJacob; and Isaac was CGen 25:20sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a 1Lit completepeaceful man, 2Lit dwellingAHeb 11:9living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because 1Lit game was in his mouthhe had AGen 27:19a taste for game, BGen 27:6-10but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 When Jacob had cooked A2 Kin 4:38stew, Esau came in from the field and he was 1Lit wearyfamished; 30 and Esau said to Jacob, “Please let me have a swallow of 1Lit the red, this redthat red stuff there, for I am 2Lit wearyfamished.” Therefore his name was called 3I.e. redEdom. 31 But Jacob said, “1Lit TodayFirst sell me your ADeut 21:16, 17; 1 Chr 5:1, 2birthright.” 32 Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?” 33 And Jacob said, “1Lit TodayFirst swear to me”; so he swore to him, and AHeb 12:16sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
