Abraham passed through ten temptations and the sacrificing of his sonne the last and greatest Chap. 23. When Rebeccahs sun is risen in the last chap. Sarah sets in this The first foot of land and all the land that Abraham hath in Canaan in possession is onely a place of buriall God by this very thing drawing him and his to looke after the spirituall part of the promise Chap. 25. At what time Abraham married Keturah is uncertaine the text hath laid it after Isaacs marriage because it was fit that all the actions of Abraham which any whit concerned the promise should be handled first and together before the other which either did not at all or did it the lesse But that Abraham was married to this woman long before Isaacs marriage or Sarahs death is probable upon these conjectures 1.

All these countries were of the land of Canaan of the promise and therefore are circumcised ones seated in them instead of Canaanites When the text hath recited these sons of Abraham and their settlement it bringeth him and Ismael to their graves Not that they died before the birth of Iacob and Esau as the text hath laid it for Abraham lived till they were fifteen yeeres old and Ismael till they were at their climactericall yeer of 63. but now hath Moses no more to say of them and therefor he concludeth their story at once Esau borne all hairy over like a kid but of a reddish colour and therefore they called him Esau Factus made and perfected already as having both his beard and pubes as soone as he was borne In a sore yeere of famine in the land Esau selleth his birth-right for want of meate Chap. 26.
