And
it

after the

This
is
the account
of Abraham’s
son
Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s
maidservant
, bore
to
Abraham .
Now
these
are
the generations
of Ishmael, Abraham's
son,
whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's
handmaid
, bare
unto
Abraham :
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in
the
order
of
their birth
: Nebaioth
the firstborn of Ishmael, then
Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
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,
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
And
Mishma, and
Dumah, and
Massa,

.

lived
a
total
of 137
years .
Then
he breathed
his
last
and died ,
and was gathered to
his people.
And
these
are
the
years
of the
life
of
Ishmael,
an
hundred
and
thirty
and
seven
years :
and
he gave
up
the
ghost
and died ;
and was gathered unto
his people.
Ishmael’s
descendants
settled
from Havilah to
Shur, which
is near
the
border
of
Egypt as you
go
toward Asshur.
And they
lived
in hostility
toward
all their
brothers
.
And
they
dwelt
from Havilah unto
Shur, that
is before
Egypt ,
as thou
goest
toward Assyria:
and he
died
in the
presence
of
all his
brethren
.
This
is
the account
of Abraham’s
son
Isaac .
Abraham became
the
father
of
Isaac ,
And
these
are
the generations
of Isaac ,
Abraham's
son:
Abraham begat
Isaac :
and Isaac was forty years old when he married
Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean
from
Paddan-aram
and
the sister of
Laban the Aramean
.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took
Rebekah to
wife
, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian
of
Padanaram,
the sister to
Laban the Syrian
.
Later,
Isaac prayed
to
the LORD on
behalf
of
his wife, because she was barren .
And the LORD heard
his
prayer
, and his wife Rebekah
conceived.
And
Isaac entreated
the LORD for
his wife, because she was barren :
and the LORD was
entreated
of
him
, and Rebekah
his wife conceived.
But
the children inside
her
struggled with
each
other,
and she said, “
Why is
this
happening
to
me
? ”
So
Rebekah
went to inquire of the LORD ,
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 .
and He
declared
to
her :
“
Two nations are in your
womb, and two peoples
from
within
you
will
be separated; one people will
be stronger than the other ,
and the older
will
serve the younger. ”
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.
When her time
came
to give
birth
, there were indeed
twins in her womb.
And
when her days
to be
delivered
were
fulfilled
, behold,
there were twins in her womb.
The first one
came out red, covered
with
hair
like a
fur
coat
; so
they named
him
Esau.
And
the first came out red, all
over
like an
hairy
garment
; and
they called
his
name
Esau.
After this,
his brother came
out grasping
Esau’s
heel; so
he
was named
Jacob .
And Isaac was sixty
years old when the
twins
were
born
.
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
.
When
the boys grew up,
Esau became
a skillful
hunter, a man of the field ,
while
Jacob was a quiet
man who
stayed
at
home
.
And
the boys grew :
and
Esau was
a cunning
hunter, a man of the field ;
and
Jacob was a plain
man ,
dwelling
in
tents
.
Because
Isaac had
a
taste
for
wild
game,
he
loved Esau ;
but Rebekah loved Jacob.
And
Isaac loved Esau ,
because
he
did
eat
of
his
venison:
but Rebekah loved Jacob.
One
day,
while
Jacob was
cooking
some
stew,
Esau came in
from the field and was famished.
And
Jacob sod
pottage:
and
Esau came from the field ,
and he
was faint:
He
said to Jacob, “Let
me eat
some
of
that red stew,
for I am famished.”
(That
is
why
he
was also
called Edom. )
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.
“First
sell me your
birthright ,”
Jacob
replied
.
And
Jacob
said,
Sell me this
day
thy
birthright.
“Look,”
said
Esau, “
I am about
to die ,
so
what good
is
a
birthright to me? ”
And
Esau said
, Behold,
I am at
the
point
to die :
and
what profit
shall
this
birthright do
to me?
“Swear
to
me
first,”
Jacob said .
So
Esau
swore
to Jacob
and sold
him the
birthright.
And
Jacob said ,
Swear
to me
this
day;
and he
sware
unto
him :
and
he
sold
his
birthright unto
Jacob
.
Then Jacob gave some
bread and lentil
stew
to
Esau,
who
ate
and drank
and then
got
up and went away.
Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Then Jacob gave Esau
bread and pottage
of
lentils;
and he
did
eat
and drink,
and
rose
up ,
and went his
way:
thus Esau despised his birthright.
