These are the family records of Abraham’s son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s slave, bore to Abraham.

Then Abraham took his son Ishmael and all the slaves born in his house or purchased with his money—every male among the members of Abraham’s household—and he circumcised the flesh of their foreskin on that very day, just as God had said to him.

for the Lord had completely closed all the wombs in Abimelech’s household on account of Sarah, Abraham’s wife.

And Bethuel fathered Rebekah. Milcah bore these eight to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

Abraham’s possession in the presence of all the Hittites who came to the gate of his city.

So the servant placed his hand under his master Abraham’s thigh and swore an oath to him concerning this matter.

Before he had finished speaking, there was Rebekah—daughter of Bethuel son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham’s brother Nahor—coming with a jug on her shoulder.

“I am Abraham’s servant,” he said.

When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed to the ground before the Lord.

So they sent away their sister Rebekah with the one who had nursed and raised her, and Abraham’s servant and his men.

This is the length of Abraham’s life: 175 years.

After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.

There was another famine in the land in addition to the one that had occurred in Abraham’s time. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

so Esau went to Ishmael and married, in addition to his other wives, Mahalath daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son. She was the sister of Nebaioth.

When the Lord had finished speaking with Abraham, He departed, and Abraham returned to his place.

After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he answered.

But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”

He replied, “Here I am.”

Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught in the thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it as a burnt offering in place of his son.

Abraham went back to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beer-sheba. And Abraham settled in Beer-sheba.

Abraham agreed with Ephron, and Abraham weighed out to Ephron the silver that he had agreed to in the presence of the Hittites: 400 shekels of silver at the current commercial rate.

“Lord, God of my master Abraham,” he prayed, “give me success today, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah.

These are the family records of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac.

Isaac reopened the water wells that had been dug in the days of his father Abraham and that the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died. He gave them the same names his father had given them.

and the Lord appeared to him that night and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your offspring because of My servant Abraham.”

May God give you and your offspring the blessing of Abraham so that you may possess the land where you live as a foreigner, the land God gave to Abraham.”

Early in the morning Abraham got up, took bread and a waterskin, put them on Hagar’s shoulders, and sent her and the boy away. She left and wandered in the Wilderness of Beer-sheba.

But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the water well that Abimelech’s servants had seized.

And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide, so today it is said: “It will be provided on the Lord’s mountain.”

and said, “Praise the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has not withheld His kindness and faithfulness from my master. As for me, the Lord has led me on the journey to the house of my master’s relatives.”

Then I bowed down, worshiped the Lord, and praised the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who guided me on the right way to take the granddaughter of my master’s brother for his son.

The Philistines stopped up all the wells that his father’s slaves had dug in the days of his father Abraham, filling them with dirt.
