1Now AbrahamH85 tookH3947 anotherH3254 wifeH802, 1whose nameH8034 was KeturahH6989. 22She boreH3205 to him ZimranH2175, JokshanH3370, MedanH4091, MidianH4080, IshbakH3435, and ShuahH7774. 3JokshanH3370 fatheredH3205 ShebaH7614 and DedanH1719. And the sonsH1121 of DedanH1719 were AsshurimH805, LetushimH3912, and LeummimH3817. 4The sonsH1121 of MidianH4080 were EphahH5891, EpherH6081, HanochH2585, AbidaH28, and EldaahH420. AllH3605 of theseH428 were the sonsH1121 of KeturahH6989. 53Now AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 allH3605 that he had to IsaacH3327; 6but to the sonsH1121 of 4his concubinesH6370, AbrahamH85 gaveH5414 giftsH4979 while he was stillH5750 livingH2416, and 5sentH7971 them awayH7971 from his sonH1121 IsaacH3327 eastwardH6924, to the landH776 of the eastH6924.

12Now theseH428 are the records of the generationsH8435 of 15IshmaelH3458, Abraham’sH85 sonH1121, whomH834 HagarH1904 the EgyptianH4713, Sarah’sH8283 slaveH8198 womanH8198, boreH3205 to AbrahamH85; 13and theseH428 are the namesH8034 of 16the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458, by their namesH8034, 17in the orderH8435 ofH8435 their birthH8435: NebaiothH5032, the firstbornH1060 of IshmaelH3458, KedarH6938, AdbeelH110, MibsamH4017, 14MishmaH4927, DumahH1746, MassaH4854, 15HadadH2301, TemaH8485, JeturH3195, NaphishH5305, and KedemahH6929. 16TheseH428 are the sonsH1121 of IshmaelH3458 and theseH428 are their namesH8034, by their villagesH2691, and by their campsH2918; 18twelveH8147H6240 princesH5387 according to their 19tribesH523. 17TheseH428 are the yearsH8141 of the lifeH2425 of IshmaelH3458, 20137H3967H7970H7651 yearsH8141; and he breathedH1478 his lastH1478 and diedH4191, and was 21gatheredH622 to his peopleH5971. 18They 22settledH7931 from 23HavilahH2341 to 24ShurH7793 whichH834 is 25eastH5921H6440 of EgyptH4714 26goingH935 toward AssyriaH804; 27he 28settledH5307 inH5921H6440 defianceH5921H6440 of allH3605 his relativesH251.
Isaac’s Sons
19Now theseH428 are the records of 29the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham’sH85 sonH1121: AbrahamH85 fatheredH3205 IsaacH3327; 20and IsaacH3327 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 30RebekahH7259, the 31daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the 32ArameanH761 of Paddan-aramH6307, the 33sisterH269 of LabanH3837 the 34ArameanH761, to be his wifeH802. 21IsaacH3327 prayedH6279 to the LordH3068 on behalfH5227 of his wifeH802, becauseH3588 she was unableH6135 toH6135 haveH6135 childrenH6135; and 35the LordH3068 36answeredH6279 him, and his wifeH802 RebekahH7259 37conceivedH2029. 22But the childrenH1121 struggledH7533 together withinH7130 her; and she saidH559, “IfH518 it is soH3651, whyH4100 am I in this condition?” So she wentH1980 to 38inquireH1875 of the LordH3068. 23And the LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “39TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in your wombH990; 40And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 will be separatedH6504 from your bodyH4578; And one peopleH3816 will beH553 strongerH553 thanH4480 the otherH3816; And 41the olderH7227 will serveH5647 the youngerH6810.” 24When her daysH3117 leading to the deliveryH3205 were atH4390 anH4390 endH4390, beholdH2009, there were twinsH8420 in her wombH990. 25Now the firstH7223 cameH3318 outH3318 redH132, 42allH3605 over like a hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they namedH7121H8034 him EsauH6215. 26AfterwardH310 his brotherH251 cameH3318 outH3318 with 43his handH3027 holdingH270 on to Esau’sH6215 heelH6119, so 44he was namedH7121H8034 45JacobH3290; and IsaacH3327 was 46sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to them.
27When the boysH5288 grewH1431 upH1431, EsauH6215 becameH1961 a skillfulH3045 hunterH376H6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; but JacobH3290 was a 47civilizedH8535 manH376, 48livingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215 becauseH3588 49he had 50a tasteH6310 for gameH6718; 51but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29When JacobH3290 had cookedH2102 a 52stewH5138 one day, EsauH6215 cameH935 inH935 from the fieldH7704 and he was exhaustedH5889; 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “PleaseH4994 let me haveH3938 aH3938 mouthfulH3938 of 53that redH122 stuffH123 there, for I am exhaustedH5889.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he was calledH7121 54EdomH112 by nameH8034. 31But JacobH3290 saidH559, “55FirstH3117 sellH4376 me your 56birthrightH1062.” 32EsauH6215 saidH559, “LookH2009, I amH1980 aboutH1980 to dieH4191; so of whatH4100 use then is the birthrightH1062 to me?” 33And JacobH3290 saidH559, “57FirstH3117 swearH7650 to me”; so he sworeH7650 an oath to him, and 58soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 to JacobH3290. 34Then JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and lentilH5742 stewH5138; and he ateH398 and drankH8354, and gotH6965 upH6965 and wentH1980 onH1980 his wayH1980. So EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
