And thee are the names of the ons of Ihmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firtborn of Ihmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibam,

And Mihma, and Dumah, and Maa,

‖ Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphih, and Kedemah:

Thee are the ons of Ihmael, and thee are their names, by their towns, and by their catles; twelve princes according to their nations.

¶ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

And the firt came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Eau.

And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Eau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Iaac was threecore years old when he bare them.

And Eau aid to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, † with that ame red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called ‖ Edom.

And Jacob aid, Sell me this day thy birthright.

And Eau aid, Behold, I am † at the point to die: and what profit hall this birthright do to me?

And Jacob aid, Swear to me this day; and he ware unto him: and he old his birthright unto Jacob.

Then Jacob gave Eau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and roe up, and went his way: thus Eau depied his birthright.

1 Iaac becaue of famine goeth to Gerar. 2 God intructieth and bleeth him. 6 He denieth his wife, and is reproved by Abimelech. 12 He growetb rich, and the Philitines envy him. 18 He digged undry wells. 23 God appeared to him in Beer-heba, and bleeth him. 26 Abimelech maketh a covenant with him there. 34 Eau's Canaanitih wives are a grief to his parents.

And I will make thy eed to multiply as the tars of heaven, and will give unto thy eed all thee countries; and in thy eed hall all the nations of the earth be bleed;

Becaue that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my tatutes, and my laws.

And the men of the place aked him of his wife; and he aid, She is my iter: for he feared to ay, She is my wife; let, aid he, the men of the place hould kill me for Rebekah; becaue he was fair to look upon.

And it came to pas, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philitines looked out at a window, and aw, and, behold, Iaac was porting with Rebekah his wife.
