1 Then Abraham took again a wife, and her name was Keturah.

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

2 And she bore him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Yishbak, and Shuach.

and she bare to him Zimran, and Yokshan, and Medan, and Midian, —and Ishbak, and Shuah.

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

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

4 And the sons of Midian: Ephah, and Epher, and Chanoch, and Abida', and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

And the sons of Midian, Ephah and Epher and Hanoch, and Abida. and Eldaah, —all these, were the sons of Keturah.

5 And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

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

but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.

7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, one hundred seventy and five years.

Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.

8 Then Abraham departed this life, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,

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

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

10 The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, with Sarah his wife.

the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.

11 And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lachai-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 Now theses are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore unto Abraham.

Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;

13 And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the first-born of Ishmael, Nebayoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

and these, are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names after 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 Chadad, and Tema, Yetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

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

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.

these, same, are the sons of Ishmael and these, their names, by their villages and by their encampments, —twelve princes, after their tribes.

17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, one hundred and thirty and seven years: and he departed this life and died; and was gathered unto his people.

And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.

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

And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.

19 And these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham: Abraham begat Isaac.

And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian, to himself as wife.

and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.

21 And Isaac entreated the Lord in behalf of his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why did I desire this? And she went to inquire of the Lord.

And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.

23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.

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

Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.

25 And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,

26 And after that came his brother out, his hand holding on to Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,

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

And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!

29 And Jacob at one time boiled pottage, and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Let me swallow down, I pray thee, some of that yonder red pottage, for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.

So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy right of first-born.

And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die; and what profit then can the right of first-born be to me?

And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his right of first-born unto Jacob.

And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and he rose up, and went his way; thus Esau despised the birthright.

And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
