And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
4
And the sons of Midian;
Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abidah, and Eldaah. All these
were
the children of Keturah.
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.
7
And these
are
the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he
lived, an 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 Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, 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: 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 Lahai-roi.
12
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 sons of Ishmael, by their names,
according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and
Mibsam,
14
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
15
Hadar, 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.
17
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 Havilah unto Shur, that
is
before Egypt, as thou goest toward
Assyria:
and
he died in the presence of all his brethren.

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 Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram,
the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21
And Isaac intreated the L
ORD
for his wife, because she
was
barren:

22
And the children struggled
together within her; and she said, If
it be
so, why
am
I thus? And she went to enquire of the L
ORD
.
23
And the L
ORD
said unto her, Two nations
are
in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be
separated from thy bowels; and
the one
people shall be stronger than
the other
people; and the elder
shall serve the younger.

there were
twins in her womb.
25
And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
