25:16-26:3

[25:16] these are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments; twelve princes according to their nations. [25:17] And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, a hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died, and was gathered unto his people. [25:18] And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: he abode over against all his brethren. [25:19] And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac: [25:20] and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife. [25:21] And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. [25:22] And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. [25:23] And Jehovah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger. [25:24] And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. [25:25] And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. [25:26] And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. [25:27] And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. [25:28] Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob. [25:29] And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came in from the field, and he was faint: [25:30] and Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. [25:31] And Jacob said, Sell me first thy birthright. [25:32] And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die: and what profit shall the birthright do to me? [25:33] And Jacob said, Swear to me first; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. [25:34] And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esau despised his birthright. [26:1] And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines, unto Gerar. [26:2] And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: [26:3] sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
