Abraham's Descendants through Keturah | |||||||
| 1 Chr. 1.32, 33 | |||||||
| 1 |
Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Ketu'rah. | ||||||
| 2 |
And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Mid'i-an, and Ishbak, and Shu'ah. | ||||||
| 3 |
And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were As'shurim, and Let'ushim, and Le'ummim. | ||||||
| 4 |
And the sons of Mid'i-an; Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abi'dah, and Elda'ah. All these were the children of Ketu'rah. | ||||||
| 5 |
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. | ||||||
| 6 |
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. | ||||||
The Death and Burial of Abraham | |||||||
| 7 |
¶ And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years. | ||||||
| 8 |
Then 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 sons Isaac and Ish'ma-el buried him in the cave of Machpe'lah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; | ||||||
| 10 |
the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: Gen. 23.3-16 there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife. | ||||||
| 11 |
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well La'hai–roi. | ||||||
The Descendants of Ishmael | |||||||
| 1 Chr. 1.28-31 | |||||||
| 12 |
¶ Now these are the generations of Ish'ma-el, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham: | ||||||
| 13 |
and these are the names of the sons of Ish'ma-el, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ish'ma-el, Neba'joth; and Kedar, and Ad'beel, and Mibsam, | ||||||
| 14 |
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, | ||||||
| 15 |
Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Ked'emah: | ||||||
| 16 |
these are the sons of Ish'ma-el, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. | ||||||
| 17 |
And these are the years of the life of Ish'ma-el, a 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 Hav'ilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. | ||||||
The Birth of Esau and Jacob | |||||||
| 19 |
¶ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: | ||||||
| 20 |
and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethu'el the Syrian of Pa'dan–a'ram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. | ||||||
| 21 |
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 |
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD. | ||||||
| 23 |
And the LORD said unto her,
| ||||||
| 24 |
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | ||||||
| 25 |
And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. | ||||||
| 26 |
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. | ||||||
Esau Sells His Birthright | |||||||
| 27 |
¶ 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 Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. | ||||||
| 29 |
¶ And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: | ||||||
| 30 |
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. 14 | ||||||
| 31 |
And Jacob 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 do to me? | ||||||
| 33 |
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright Heb. 12.16 unto Jacob. | ||||||
| 34 |
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. | ||||||
