2 and she beareth to him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
Which bare him Zimran, and Iokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.

5 And Abraham giveth all that he hath to Isaac;
And Abraham gaue all his goods to Izhak,
6 and to the sons of the concubines whom Abraham hath, Abraham hath given gifts, and sendeth them away from Isaac his son (in his being yet alive) eastward, unto the east country.
But vnto the sonnes of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gaue giftes, and sent them away from Izhak his sonne (while he yet liued) Eastward to the East countrey.
7 And these [are] the days of the years of the life of Abraham, which he lived, a hundred and seventy and five years;
And this is the age of Abrahams life, which he liued, an hundreth seuentie and fiue yeere.
8 and Abraham expireth, and dieth in a good old age, aged and satisfied, and is gathered unto his people.
Then Abraham yeelded the spirit, and died in a good age, an olde man, and of great yeeres, and was gathered to his people.
9 And Isaac and Ishmael his sons bury him at the cave of Machpelah, at the field of Ephron, son of Zoar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre —
And his sonnes, Izhak and Ishmael buryed him in the caue of Machpelah, in the fielde of Ephron sonne of Zohar the Hittite, before Mamre.
10 the field which Abraham bought from the sons of Heth — there hath Abraham been buried, and Sarah his wife.
Which fielde Abraham bought of the Hittites, where Abraham was buryed with Sarah his wife.
11 And it cometh to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blesseth Isaac his son; and Isaac dwelleth by the Well of the Living One, my Beholder.
And after the death of Abraham God blessed Izhak his sonne, and Izhak dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.
12 And these [are] births of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, hath borne to Abraham;
Nowe these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whome Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayde bare vnto Abraham.
13 and these [are] the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their births: first-born of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
And these are the names of the sonnes of Ishmael, name by name, according to their kinreds; the eldest sonne of Ishmael was Nebaioth, then Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
14 and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,
And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
16 these are sons of Ishmael, and these their names, by their villages, and by their towers; twelve princes according to their peoples.
These are the sonnes of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their townes and by their castles: to wit, twelue princes of their nations.
17 And these [are] the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years; and he expireth, and dieth, and is gathered unto his people;
(And these are the yeeres of the life of Ishmael, an hundreth thirtie and seuen yeere, and he yeelded the spirit, and dyed, and was gathered vnto his people)
18 and they tabernacle from Havilah unto Shur, which [is] before Egypt, in [thy] going towards Asshur; in the presence of all his brethren hath he fallen.
And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is towardes Egypt, as thou goest to Asshur. Ishmael dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.
19 And these [are] births of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham hath begotten Isaac;
Likewise these are the generations of Izhak Abrahams sonne Abraham begate Izhak,
20 and Isaac is a son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean, from Padan-Aram, sister of Laban the Aramaean, to him for a wife.
And Izhak was fourtie yeere olde, when he tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramite of Padan Aram, and sister to Laban the Aramite.
21 And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she [is] barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth,
And Izhak prayed vuto the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued,
22 and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If [it is] right — why [am] I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah.
But the children stroue together within her: therefore shee sayde, Seeing it is so, why am I thus? wherefore she went to aske the Lord.
23 And Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the [one] people than the [other] people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'
And the Lord sayd to her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shalbe diuided out of thy bowels, and the one people shall be mightier then the other, and the elder shall serue the yonger.
24 And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins [are] in her womb;
Therefore when her time of deliuerance was fulfilled, behold, twinnes were in her wombe.
25 and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau;
So he that came out first was red, and he was all ouer as a rough garment, and they called his name Esau.
26 and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac [is] a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
And afterward came his brother out, and his hande helde Esau by the heele: therefore his name was called Iaakob. Nowe Izhak was threescore yeere olde when Rebekah bare them.
27 And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted [with] hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob [is] a plain man, inhabiting tents;
And the boyes grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and liued in the fields: but Iaakob was a plaine man, and dwelt in tentes.
28 and Isaac loveth Esau, for [his] hunting [is] in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.
And Izhak loued Esau, for venison was his meate, but Rebekah loued Iaakob.
29 And Jacob boileth pottage, and Esau cometh in from the field, and he [is] weary;
Nowe Iaakob sod pottage, and Esau came from the fielde and was wearie.
30 and Esau saith unto Jacob, 'Let me eat, I pray thee, some of this red red thing, for I [am] weary;' therefore hath [one] called his name Edom [Red];
Then Esau sayd to Iaakob, Let me eate, I pray thee, of that pottage so red, for I am wearie. Therefore was his name called Edom.
31 and Jacob saith, 'Sell to-day thy birthright to me.'
And Iaakob sayd, Sell me euen nowe thy birthright.
32 And Esau saith, 'Lo, I am going to die, and what is this to me — birthright?'
And Esau sayd, Lo, I am almost dead, what is then this birthright to me?
33 and Jacob saith, 'Swear to me to-day:' and he sweareth to him, and selleth his birthright to Jacob;
Iaakob then said, Sweare to me euen now. And he sware to him, and solde his birthright vnto Iaakob.
34 and Jacob hath given to Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he eateth, and drinketh, and riseth, and goeth; and Esau despiseth the birthright.
Then Iaakob gaue Esau bread and pottage of lentiles: and he did eate and drinke, and rose vp, and went his way: So Esau contemned his birthright.
