  • 5. And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac.
  • 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.

  • 12. Now these are the generations of Ishmael, 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.
  • 17. 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.
  • 18. 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.
  • 19. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham
  • 20. 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.
  • 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 enquire 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
  • 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.
