5
|
Abraham gave all he had to Isaac. |
6
|
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. |
7
|
These are the days of the years of Abraham's life, 175 years. |
8

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 Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, |
10
|
the field that Abraham purchased from the Hittites. There Abraham was buried, with Sarah his wife. |
11
|
After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac settled at Beer-lahai-roi. |

These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's servant, bore to Abraham. |

Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. |

|
These are the sons of Ishmael 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 Ishmael: 137 years. He breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people.) |

20
|
and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to be his wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean. |
21
|
And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
22
|
The children struggled together within her, and she said, "If it is thus, why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. |
23
|
And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger." |
24
|
When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. |
25
|
The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. |
26
|
Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. |
27
|
When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. |
28
|
Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. |
29
|
Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. |
30
|
And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.) |
31
|
Jacob said, "Sell me your birthright now." |
32
|
Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" |
33
|
Jacob said, "Swear to me now." So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
34
|
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. |
