12 Now these are the generationsc of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, that Hagar the Egyptian, the female slave of Sarah, bore to Abraham. 13 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, 14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names by their villages and by their encampments—12 leaders according to their tribes. 17 Now these are the years of the life of Ishmael: 137 years. And he passed away and died, and was gathered to his people.18 They settled from Havilah to Shur, which was opposited Egypt, going toward Assyria; he ⌊settled⌋e oppositef all his brothers.

Jacob and Esau

19 Now these are the generationsg of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac, 20 And Isaac was ⌊forty years old⌋h when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, as his wife. 21 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. 22 And the children in her womb jostled each other, and she said, “⌊If it is going to be like this, why be pregnant⌋?”i And she went to inquire of Yahweh. 23 And Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples ⌊from birth⌋j shall be divided. And ⌊one people shall be stronger than the other⌋.k And the elder shall serve the younger.” 24 And when her days to give birth were completed,l then—behold—twins were in her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all ⌊his body⌋m was like a hairy coat, so they called his name Esau. 26 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⌋n at their birth. 27 And the boys grew up. And Esau was a skilledo hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau because ⌊he could eat of his game⌋,p but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 Onceq Jacob cooked a thick stew, and Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Give me ⌊some of that red stuff⌋r to gulp down, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom). 31 Then Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright ⌊first⌋.”s 32 And Esau said, “Look, I am going to die; now what is this birthright to me?” 33 Then Jacob said, “Swear to me ⌊first⌋.”t And he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. 34 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.
