Gen.17[
4] As for me, behold, my covenant
is with thee, and thou shalt be a
father of many nations. [
5] Neither shall
thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be
Abraham; for a father of many nations
have I made thee.
Rom.4[
16] Therefore it is of
faith, that it might be by grace;
to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which
is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of
Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Gal.3[
29] And
if ye be Messiah's / Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed,
and heirs according to the promise.
Abraham
Hagar the Egyptian -
Ishmael
Keturah - Zimran,
and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
In the
Chumash, pg. 121
they say Keturah,
Abraham remarried Hagar - WRONG!
Keturah - In
Gen. Rabbah 61:4
they say This is Hagar, WRONG!
----------------
Gen.23[
19] And after this,
Abraham buried Sarah his wife...
Abraham took a wife - Keturah
Abraham's concubine - Keturah
---------------
Gen.25[1] Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was
Keturah
. [2] And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and
Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
[5] And Abraham gave all that he had unto
Isaac.
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.
1Chr.1[32] Now
the sons of Keturah, Abraham's concubine:
she bare Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak,
and Shuah. And the sons of Jokshan; Sheba, and Dedan.
[33] And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaah.
All these are the sons of Keturah.
Gen.17[20] And as for
Ishmael, I have
heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will
multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him
a great nation.

Gen.25[
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.
Isaac and Rebekah
Gen.25[
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 LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated
of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
[22] And
the children struggled together within her
; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went
to inquire of the LORD.
[23] And the
LORD 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.
[24] And when
her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, 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.[26
] And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold
on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob
: and Isaac was threescore years
old when she bare them.
Gen.27
Jacob's Blessing
[28] Therefore
God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty
of corn and wine:[29] Let people
serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let
thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every
one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee. Sounds like
what God told Abraham Gen.12
[3
] And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall
all families of the earth be blessed.
Gen.27[
30] And it came to pass, as
soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone
out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau
his brother came in from his hunting[
31] And he also had made savoury meat,
and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise,
and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
[41] And
Esau hated Jacob because of
the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau
said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father
are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob. [42
] And these words of Esau
her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and
called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau,
as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
Mal.1[
1] The burden of the word of
the LORD to Israel by Malachi.[2
] I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou
loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet
I loved Jacob,[
3] And I hated
Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste
for the dragons of the wilderness.
Rom.9[13]
As it is written, ( in Mal. 1-3 ) Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Heb.12
[16] Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one
morsel of meat sold his birthright.[17] For ye know how that afterward, when
he would have inherited the blessing,
he was rejected:
for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with
tears.

Psalm.122:6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
they shall prosper that love thee.

[3] And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim,
and Letushim, and Leummim.[4] And the sons of Midian; Ephah, and Epher, and
Hanoch, and Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
[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.
Gen.21[13]
And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation,
because he is thy seed.
[21] And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and
his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
[27] And the boys grew: and
Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling
in tents.
[28] And
Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat
of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob
.
[29] And Jacob sod pottage:
and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:
[30] And Esau said to Jacob,
Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore
was his name called Edom.
[31]
And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
[32]
And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this
birthright do to me?
[33] And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware
unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
[34] Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and
drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright
[32] And Isaac his father said
unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau. [
34] And when
Esau heard the words of his father,
he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and
said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
[35] And he said,
Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
[36] And he said, Is not he
rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away
my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said,
Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?[37
] And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have
made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and
with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee,
my son? [38] And
Esau said unto his father, Hast thou
but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also,
O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
