1 Nowe Abraham had taken him another wife called Keturah,

And Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 Which bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 And Iokshan begate Sheba, and Dedan: And the sonnes of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

4 Also the sonnes of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah all these were the sonnes of Keturah.

And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 And Abraham gaue all his goods to Izhak,

And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

6 But vnto the sonnes of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gaue giftes, and sent them away from Izhak his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward to the East countrey.

But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts; and he sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.

7 And this is the age of Abrahams life, which he liued, an hundreth seuentie and fiue yeere.

And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years.

8 Then Abraham yeelded the spirit, and died in a good age, an olde man, and of great yeeres, and was gathered to his people.

And 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.

9 And his sonnes, Izhak and Ishmael buryed him in the caue of Machpelah, in the fielde of Ephron sonne of Zohar the Hittite, before Mamre.

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre;

10 Which fielde Abraham bought of the Hittites, where Abraham was buryed with Sarah his wife.

the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

11 And after the death of Abraham God blessed Izhak his sonne, and Izhak dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

12 Nowe these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whome Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayde bare vnto Abraham.

Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, bare unto Abraham:

13 And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, name by name, according to their kinreds; the eldest sonne of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa;

15 Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

Hadad, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:

16 These are the sonnes of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their townes and by their castles: to wit, twelue princes of their nations.

these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations.

17 (And these are the yeeres of the life of Ishmael, an hundreth thirtie and seuen yeere, and he yeelded the spirit, and dyed, and was gathered vnto his people)

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.

18 And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is towardes Egypt, as thou goest to Asshur. Ishmael dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode in the presence of all his brethren.

19 Likewise these are the generations of Izhak Abrahams sonne Abraham begate Izhak,

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20 And Izhak was fourtie yeere olde, when he tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramite of Padan Aram, and sister to Laban the Aramite.

and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 And Izhak prayed vuto the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued,

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 But the children stroue together within her: therefore shee sayde, Seeing it is so, why am I thus? wherefore she went to aske the Lord.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of the LORD.

23 And the Lord sayd to her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shalbe diuided out of thy bowels, and the one people shall be mightier then the other, and the elder shall serue the yonger.

And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.

24 Therefore when her time of deliuerance was fulfilled, behold, twinnes were in her wombe.

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 So he that came out first was red, and he was all ouer as a rough garment, and they called his name Esau.

And the first came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

26 And afterward came his brother out, and his hande helde Esau by the heele: therefore his name was called Iaakob. Nowe Izhak was threescore yeere olde when Rebekah bare them.

And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

27 And the boyes grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and liued in the fields: but Iaakob was a plaine man, and dwelt in tentes.

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28 And Izhak loued Esau, for venison was his meate, but Rebekah loued Iaakob.

Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Nowe Iaakob sod pottage, and Esau came from the fielde and was wearie.

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint:

30 Then Esau sayd to Iaakob, Let me eate, I pray thee, of that pottage so red, for I am wearie. Therefore was his name called Edom.

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.

31 And Iaakob sayd, Sell me euen nowe thy birthright.

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32 And Esau sayd, Lo, I am almost dead, what is then this birthright to me?

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me?

33 Iaakob then said, Sweare to me euen now. And he sware to him, and solde his birthright vnto Iaakob.

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34 Then Iaakob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles: and he did eate and drinke, and rose vp, and went his way: So Esau contemned his birthright.

And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright.
