Then Jacob said, "Swear to me {first}." And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

Then Jacob gave Esau bread, and thick lentil stew, and he ate and drank. Then he got up and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.

And Esau said, "Look, I am going to die; now what [is] this birthright to me?"

And Isaac loved Esau because {he could eat of his game}, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Now these [are] the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac,

And Esau said to Jacob, "Give me {some of that red stuff} to gulp down, for I am exhausted!" (Therefore his name was called Edom).

Then Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright {first}."

And the boys grew up. And Esau [was] a skilled hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob [was] a peaceful man, living [in] tents.

Now Abraham again took a wife, and her name [was] Keturah.

And Isaac prayed to Yahweh on behalf of his wife, for she [was] barren. And Yahweh responded to his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And Yahweh said to her, "Two nations [are] in your womb, and two peoples {from birth} shall be divided. And {one people shall be stronger than the other}. And [the] elder shall serve [the] younger."

Once Jacob cooked a thick stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.

And afterward his brother came out, and his hand grasped the heel of Esau, so his name was called Jacob. And Isaac {was sixty years old} at their birth.

Now these [are] the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, that Hagar the Egyptian, the maidservant of Sarah, bore to Abraham.

And the children in her womb jostled each other, and she said, "{If it is going to be like this, why be pregnant}?" And she went to inquire of Yahweh.

And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names according to their family records. The firstborn of Ishmael [was] Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

And Isaac was {forty years old} when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, as his wife.

And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, son of Zohar the Hittite, that [was] east of Mamre,

And it happened [that] after the death of Abraham God blessed Isaac his son, and Isaac settled at Beer-Lahai-Roi.

They settled from Havilah to Shur, which [was] opposite Egypt, going toward Asshur, opposite; he {settled} opposite all his brothers.

And Abraham gave all he had to Isaac.

And she bore to him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

And the first came out red, all {his body} [was] like a hairy coat, so they called his name Esau.

And Abraham passed away and died in a good old age, old and full of years. And he was gathered to his people.

And when her days to give birth were completed, then--behold--twins [were] in her womb.

Now these [are] the days of the years of {the life of Abraham}: one hundred and seventy-five years.

Now these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. And he passed away and died, and was gathered to his people.

These [are] the sons of Ishmael, and these [are] their names by their villages and by their encampments--12 leaders according to their tribes.

the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried and Sarah his wife.

But to the sons of Abraham's concubines Abraham gave gifts. And while he [was] still living he sent them away eastward, [away] from his son Isaac, to the land of the east.

And Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

And the sons of Midian [were] Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All of these [were] the children of Keturah.

Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
