After Sarah died Abraham married Keturah and she gave Abraham 6 sons. Abraham died aged 175 and he left everything he owned to Isaac, but while he was still living he gave gifts to the sons of his concubines. Isaac and Ishmael buried their father in the cave alongside Sarah. Ishmael eventually died aged 137 having been the father of 12 sons. Isaac married Rebekah aged 40 but they only had children 20 years later when Rebekah had twins to make up for lost time! Hairy Esau was born first and then came his brother named Jacob. Esau became a skilful hunter whilst Jacob was a quieter sort staying more at home. Isaac loved Esau but Rebekah loved Jacob. One day Jacob was cooking lentil stew and Esau came in famished so he asked for some. Jacob agreed as long as Esau gave him his birthright to which he agreed.
