She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan, and the sons of Dedan were the Asshurim, the Letushim, and the Leummim.
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.
But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still alive he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the land of the east.
This is the full span of Abraham's life: he lived a hundred and seventy-five years.
Then Abraham breathed his last and died at a good old age, old and satisfied with life, and he was gathered to his people.
His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, facing Mamre,
the field Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah.
After Abraham's death God blessed his son Isaac, and Isaac settled near Beer-lahai-roi.
This is the account of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham.
These are the names of Ishmael's sons, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names according to their settlements and encampments—twelve princes, each with his own tribe.
Ishmael lived a hundred and thirty-seven years. Then he breathed his last and died, and he was gathered to his people.
His descendants settled from Havilah as far as Shur, near the border of Egypt, in the direction of Asshur; and they lived in hostility toward all their kindred.
This is the account of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham fathered Isaac.
Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.
Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
The children struggled with each other inside her, and she said, "If it is like this, why should I go on living?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.
And the LORD said to her: "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will separate from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."
When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
Then his brother came out, his hand gripping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed among the tents.
One day, while Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the open country, exhausted.
Esau said to Jacob, "Quick, let me gulp down some of that red stuff, that red stuff there—I'm exhausted!" That is why he was called Edom.
Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
"Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die. What good is a birthright to me?"
Jacob said, "Swear it to me here and now." So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Then Jacob gave him bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, got up, and went on his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
