| 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. |
