And, Yokshan, begat Sheba and Dedan, —and, the sons of Dedan, were Asshurim and Letushim, and Leummim.

And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;
6 And vnto the sonnes of his concubines he haue giftes and sent them awaye from Isaac his sonne (while he yet lyved) east ward vnto the east contre.
but, to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, —and then sent them away from Isaac his son while he himself yet lived, eastward unto the land of the east.
7 These are the dayes of the life of Abraha which he lyved: an hudred and. lxxv. yere
Now, these, are the days of the years of the life of Abraham which he lived—a hundred and seventy-five years.

So Abraham breathed his last, and died in a fine old age, old and satisfied, —and was gathered unto his people,
9 And his sonnes Isaac ad Ismael buried hi in the duble caue in the feld of Ephro sone of Zoar the Hethite before Mamre.
And Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him, in the cave of Machpelah, —in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hittite, which is over against Mamre;
10 Which felde abraha boughte of the sonnes of Heth: There was Abraha buried and Sara hys wife.
the field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth, —there, was buried Abraham, with Sarah his wife.
11 And after yt deeth of Abraha God blessed Isaac his sonne which dweld by the well of the lyvige and seige
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed Isaac his son, —and Isaac dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12 These are the generatios of Ismael Abrahas sonne which Hagar the Egiptia Saras hand mayde bare vnto Abraham.
Now, these, are the generations of Ishmael son of Abraham, —whom hagar the Egyptian woman the handmaid of Sarah bare to Abraham;
13 And these are the names of the sones of Ismaell with their names in their kireddes. The eldest sone of Ismael Neuatoth the Redar Adbeel Mibsa

and Mishma and Dumah, and Massa;
15 Hadar Thema Ietur Naphis and Redma.

17 And these are the yeres of the lyfe of Ismael: an hudred and. xxxvij yere and than he fell seke and dyed and was layde vnto his people.
And these, are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty-seven years, —and he breathed his last and died, and was gathered unto his people.
18 And he dweld from Euila vnto Sur yt is before Egypte as men go toward the Assirias. And he dyed in the presence of all his brethren.
And they stretched their habitations from Havilah as far as to Shur, which is over against Egypt, as thou goest in towards Assyria, —over against all his brethren, he settled down.
19 And these are the generatios of Isaac Abrahas sonne: Abraha begat Isaac.
And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;
20 And Isaac was. xl. yere olde whe he toke Rebecca to wyfe the doughter of Bethuel the Sirian of Mesopotamia and sister to Iaban the Sirien.
and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.
21 And Isaac made intercessio vnto ye LORde for his wife: because she was bare: and ye LORde was itreated of hi and Rebecca his wife coceaued:
So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 and ye childern stroue together withi her, the she sayde: yf it shulde goo so to passe what helpeth it yt I am with childe? And she went and axed ye LORde.
And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.
23 And ye LORde sayde vnto her there are. ij. maner of people in the wombe and ij. nations shall springe out of thy bowels and the one nation shalbe myghtier than the other and the eldest shalbe servaunte vnto the yonger.
And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.
24 And whe hir tyme was come to be delyuered beholde: there were. ij. twyns in hir wobe.
Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.
25 And he that came out first was redde and rough ouer all as it were an hyde: and they called his name Esau.
And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,
26 And after ward his brother came out and his hande holdynge Esau by the hele. Wher fore his name was called Iacob. And Isaac was. lx. yere olde whe she bare the:
And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,
27 and the boyes grewe and Esau became a conynge hunter and a tyllman. But Iacob was a simple man and dwelled in the tentes.
And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac loved Esau because he dyd eate of his venyso but Rebecca loued Iacob
And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!
29 Iacob sod potage and Esau came from the feld and was faine
And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.
30 and sayd to Iacob: let me syppe of yt redde potage for I am fayntie. And therfore was his name called Edom.
So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.
31 And Iacob sayde: sell me this daye thy byrthrighte.
And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.
32 And Esau answered: Loo I am at the poynte to dye and what profit shall this byrthrighte do me?
And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?
33 And Iacob sayde swere to me then this daye. And he swore to him and sold his byrthrighte vnto Iacob.
And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and sold his birthright to Jacob.
34 Than Iacob gaue Esau brede and potage of redde ryse. And he ate and dronke and rose vp and went his waye. And so Esau regarded not his byrthrighte.
And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
