Abraham: The Covenant

And they called Rebekah, and saide vnto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she answered, I will go.

So they let Rebekah their sister goe, and her nourse, with Abrahams seruant and his men.

And they blessed Rebekah, and sayde vnto her, Thou art our sister, growe into thousande thousands, and thy seede possesse the gate of his enemies.

Then Rebekah arose, and her maydes, and rode vpon the camels, and followed the man. and the seruant tooke Rebekah, and departed.

Nowe Izhak came from the way of Beer-lahai-roi, (for he dwelt in the South countrey)

And Izhak went out. to pray in the fielde toward the euening: who lift vp his eyes and looked, and behold, the camels came.

Also Rebekah lift vp her eyes, and when she saw Izhak, she lighted downe from the camel.

(For shee had sayde to the seruant, Who is yonder man, that commeth in the fielde to meete vs? and the seruant had said, It is my master) So she tooke a vaile, and couered her.

And the seruant tolde Izhak all things, that he had done.

Afterward Izhak brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother, and he tooke Rebekah, and she was his wife, and he loued her: So Izhak was comforted after his mothers death.

Nowe Abraham had taken him another wife called Keturah,

Which bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

And Iokshan begate Sheba, and Dedan: And the sonnes of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.

Also the sonnes of Midian were Ephah, and Epher, and Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah all these were the sonnes of Keturah.

And Abraham gaue all his goods to Izhak,

But vnto the sonnes of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gaue giftes, and sent them away from Izhak his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward to the East countrey.

And this is the age of Abrahams life, which he liued, an hundreth seuentie and fiue yeere.

Then Abraham yeelded the spirit, and died in a good age, an olde man, and of great yeeres, and was gathered to his people.

And his sonnes, Izhak and Ishmael buryed him in the caue of Machpelah, in the fielde of Ephron sonne of Zohar the Hittite, before Mamre.

Which fielde Abraham bought of the Hittites, where Abraham was buryed with Sarah his wife.

And after the death of Abraham God blessed Izhak his sonne, and Izhak dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

Nowe these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whome Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayde bare vnto Abraham.

And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, name by name, according to their kinreds; the eldest sonne of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,

And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
