And these [are] the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s handmaid, has borne to Abraham;

and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Jacob and Esau

(Malachi 1:1–5; Romans 9:6–29)
19
And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham has begotten Isaac;
20
and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramean, to him for a wife.
21
And Isaac makes plea to YHWH before his wife, for she [is] barren: and YHWH accepts his plea, and his wife Rebekah conceives,
22
and the children struggle together within her, and she says, “If [it is] rightwhy [am] I thus?” And she goes to seek YHWH.
23
And YHWH says to her, “Two nations [are] in your womb, and two peoples from your bowels are parted; and the [one] people is stronger than the [other] people; and the older serves the younger.”
24
And her days to bear are fulfilled, and behold, twins [are] in her womb;
25
and the first comes out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;
26
and afterward his brother has come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau’s heel, and one calls his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
27
And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting tents;
28
and Isaac loves Esau, for [his] game [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright

29
And Jacob boils stew, and Esau comes in from the field, and he [is] weary;
30
and Esau says to Jacob, “Please let me eat some of this red-red thing, for I [am] weary”; therefore [one] has called his name Edom;
31
and Jacob says, “Sell your birthright to me today.”
32
And Esau says, “Behold, I am going to die, and what is this to mea birthright?”
33
And Jacob says, “Swear to me today”: and he swears to him, and sells his birthright to Jacob;
34
and Jacob has given bread and stew of lentils to Esau, and he eats, and drinks, and rises, and goes; and Esau despises the birthright.
(1 Chronicles 1:32–33)
1
Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.
2
She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
3
Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
4
The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
5
Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,
6
but Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Abraham’s concubines. While he still lived, he sent them away from Isaac his son, eastward, to the east country.

The Death of Abraham

7
These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.
8
Abraham gave up his spirit, and died at a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.
9
Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is near Mamre,
10
the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.
11
After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

The Descendants of Ishmael

(1 Chronicles 1:28–31)
12
Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to Abraham.
13
These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,
14
Mishma, Dumah, Massa,
15
Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.
17
These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
18
They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

Jacob and Esau

(Malachi 1:1–5; Romans 9:6–29)
19
This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20
Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21
Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of the LORD.
23
The LORD said to her,Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
26
After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27
The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.
28
Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright

29
Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.
30
Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.(a)
31
Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32
Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33
Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.
34
Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
