| 1 And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura: | |
| 2 Who bore him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue. | |
| 3 Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin. | |
| 4 But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa: all these were the children of Cetura. | |
| 5 And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac. | |
| 6 And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country. | |
| 7 And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years. | |
| 8 And decaying he died in a good old age, and having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people. | |
| 9 And Isaac and Ismael his sons buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre; | |
| 10 Which he had bought of the children of Heth: there was he buried, and Sara his wife. | |
| 11 And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named Of the living and seeing. | |
| 12 These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him: | |
| 13 And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam. | |
| 14 And Masma, and Duma, and Massa, | |
| 15 Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma. | |
| 16 These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes. | |
| 17 And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven, and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people. | |
| 18 And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren. | |
| 19 These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac: | |
| 20 Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban. | |
| 21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. | |
| 22 But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord. | |
| 23 And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. | |
| 24 And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb. | |
| 25 He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob. | |
| 26 Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him. | |
| 27 And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents. | |
| 28 Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob. | |
| 29 And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field, | |
| 30 Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom. | |
| 31 And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright. | |
| 32 He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me? | |
| 33 Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright. | |
| 34 And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright. | |
