Genesis 25:11-34

¹¹And after the death of Abraham God blessed Izhak his sonne, and Izhak dwelt by Beer-lahai-roi.

¹²Nowe these are the generations of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, whome Hagar the Egyptian Sarahs handmayde bare vnto Abraham.

¹³And 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,

¹⁴And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa,

¹⁵Hadar, and Tema, Ietur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

¹⁶These 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 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)

¹⁸And they dwelt from Hauilah vnto Shur, that is towardes Egypt, as thou goest to Asshur. Ishmael dwelt in the presence of all his brethren.

¹⁹Likewise these are the generations of Izhak Abrahams sonne Abraham begate Izhak,

²⁰And 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.

²¹And Izhak prayed vuto the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued,

²²But the children stroue together within her: therefore shee sayde, Seeing it is so, why am I thus? wherefore she went to aske the Lord.

²³And 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.

²⁴Therefore when her time of deliuerance was fulfilled, behold, twinnes were in her wombe.

²⁵So he that came out first was red, and he was all ouer as a rough garment, and they called his name Esau.

²⁶And 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.

²⁷And the boyes grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and liued in the fields: but Iaakob was a plaine man, and dwelt in tentes.

²⁸And Izhak loued Esau, for venison was his meate, but Rebekah loued Iaakob.

²⁹Nowe Iaakob sod pottage, and Esau came from the fielde and was wearie.

³⁰Then 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.

³¹And Iaakob sayd, Sell me euen nowe thy birthright.

³²And Esau sayd, Lo, I am almost dead, what is then this birthright to me?

³³Iaakob then said, Sweare to me euen now. And he sware to him, and solde his birthright vnto Iaakob.

³⁴Then 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.
