1Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah,[ † ]1 Chronicles 1:32-33 2and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.[ † ]1 Chronicles 1:32-33
3Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites.
4The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah.
5Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac.[ † ]Genesis 24:35-36 6But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east.[ † ]Genesis 21:14Judges 6:3
7Abraham lived a total of 175 years. 8And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people.[ † ]Genesis 15:15Genesis 47:8-9Genesis 25:17Genesis 35:29Genesis 49:29-33
9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite.[ † ]Genesis 35:29Genesis 50:13Genesis 23:9-17Genesis 49:30 10This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.[ † ]Genesis 23:3-16Genesis 49:31
11After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.[ † ]Genesis 16:14
12This is the account of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.[ † ]Genesis 11:10-27Genesis 16:15 13These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,[ † ]1 Chronicles 1:29-31 14Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes.[ † ]Genesis 17:20 17Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.[ † ]Genesis 25:8Genesis 49:33
18Ishmael’s descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers.[ † ]Genesis 20:11 Samuel 15:7Genesis 16:12
19This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,[ † ]Genesis 36:1-9Matthew 1:2 20and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.[ † ]Genesis 22:23Genesis 24:15-29, 67Genesis 24:29
21Later, Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.[ † ]1 Samuel 1:171 Chronicles 5:202 Chronicles 33:13Ezra 8:23Psalms 127:3Romans 9:10-13
22But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the Lord,[ † ]1 Samuel 1:151 Samuel 9:91 Samuel 10:22
24When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb. 25The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.[ † ]Genesis 27:11-16, 23 26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.[ † ]Hosea 12:3Genesis 27:36
27When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.[ † ]Genesis 27:3-5Job 1:1-8Hebrews 11:9 28Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.[ † ]Genesis 27:4-19, 25, 31Genesis 27:6-10
29One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished. 30He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.
32“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”[ † ]Matthew 16:26Mark 8:36-37
33“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.[ † ]Hebrews 12:16 34Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.[ † ]Ecclesiastes 8:15Isaiah 22:131 Corinthians 15:32Hebrews 12:16-17
