| Abraham took another wife, whose name was Ketu'rah. | Generations - Abraham. Gn.25.1-6 | ||
| She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Mid'ian, Ishbak, and Shuah. | |||
| Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshu'rim, Letu'shim, and Le-um'mim. | |||
| The sons of Mid'ian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abi'da, and Elda'ah. All these were the children of Ketu'rah. | |||
| Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. | |||
| But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. | |||
| These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, a hundred and seventy-five years. | The death of Abraham. Gn.25.7-11 | ||
| Abraham breathed his last and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people. | |||
| Isaac and Ish'mael his sons buried him in the cave of Mach-pe'lah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, | |||
| the field which Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. | |||
| After the death of Abraham God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt at Beer-la'hai-roi. | |||
| These are the descendants of Ish'mael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maid, bore to Abraham. | Generations - Ishmael. Gn.25.12-18 | ||
| These are the names of the sons of Ish'mael, named in the order of their birth: Neba'ioth, the first-born of Ish'mael; and Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, | |||
| Mishma, Dumah, Massa, | |||
| Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Ked'emah. | |||
| These are the sons of Ish'mael and these are their names, by their villages and by their encampments, twelve princes according to their tribes. | |||
| (These are the years of the life of Ish'mael, a hundred and thirty-seven years; he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his kindred.) | |||
| They dwelt from Hav'ilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt in the direction of Assyria; he settled over against all his people. | |||
| These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, | The birth of Esau and Jacob. Gn.25.19-26 | ||
| and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethu'el the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean. | |||
| And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. | |||
| The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. | |||
| And the LORD said to her, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger." | |||
| When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | |||
| The first came forth red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they called his name Esau. | |||
| Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. | |||
| When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. | Esau sells his birthright. Gn.25.27-34 | ||
| Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. | |||
| Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. | |||
| And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.) | |||
| Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright." | |||
| Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" | |||
| Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. | |||
| Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. | |||
