1 Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah, | IP | TOSK |
2 and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. | TOSK |
3 Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were the Asshurites, the Letushites, and the Leummites. | TOSK |
4 The sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were descendants of Keturah. | TOSK |
5 Abraham left everything he owned to Isaac. | TOSK |
6 But while he was still alive, Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines and sent them away from his son Isaac to the land of the east. | TOSK |
7 Abraham lived a total of 175 years. | TOSK |
8 And at a ripe old age he breathed his last and died, old and contented, and was gathered to his people. | IP | TOSK |
9 His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite. | TOSK |
10 This was the field that Abraham had bought from the Hittites. Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah. | TOSK |
11 After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi. | TOSK |
12 This is the account of Abraham's son Ishmael, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maidservant, bore to Abraham. | IP | C | TOSK |
13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, | IP | TOSK |
14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa, | IP | TOSK |
15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. | IP | TOSK |
16 These were the sons of Ishmael, and these were their names by their villages and encampments—twelve princes of their tribes. | IP | TOSK |
17 Ishmael lived a total of 137 years. Then he breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his people. | IP | TOSK |
18 Ishmael's descendants settled from Havilah to Shur, which is near the border of Egypt as you go toward Asshur. And they lived in hostility toward all their brothers. | IP | TOSK |
19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac, | C | TOSK |
20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean. | TOSK |
21 Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. | TOSK | TT |
22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD, | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
23 and He declared to her: "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger." | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² | TT³ |
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb. | TOSK |
25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau. | TOSK |
26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born. | IP | TOSK | TT¹ | TT² |
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home. | TOSK |
28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob. | TOSK |
29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished. | TOSK | TT |
30 He said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished." (That is why he was also called Edom.) | TOSK | TT |
31 "First sell me your birthright," Jacob replied. | TOSK | TT |
32 "Look," said Esau, "I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?" | TOSK | TT |
33 "Swear to me first," Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright. | TOSK | TT |
34 Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright. | TOSK | TT |
