    15God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name shall be Sarah.

    16I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her.”

    17Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, “Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?”

    18Abraham said to God, “Oh that Ishmael might live before you!”

    19God said, “No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his offspring after him.

    20As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

    21But I will establish my covenant with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year.”

    22When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

    6Sarah said, “God has made me laugh. Everyone who hears will laugh with me.”

    7She said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? For I have borne him a son in his old age.”

    8The child grew and was weaned. Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.

    9Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking.

    10Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this servant and her son! For the son of this servant will not be heir with my son, Isaac.”

    11The thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight on account of his son.

    12God said to Abraham, “Don’t let it be grievous in your sight because of the boy, and because of your servant. In all that Sarah says to you, listen to her voice. For your offspring will be named through Isaac.

    13I will also make a nation of the son of the servant, because he is your child.”

    14Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread and a container of water, and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder; and gave her the child, and sent her away. She departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba.

    15The water in the container was spent, and she put the child under one of the shrubs.

    16She went and sat down opposite him, a good way off, about a bow shot away. For she said, “Don’t let me see the death of the child.” She sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice, and wept.

    17God heard the voice of the boy. The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her, “What troubles you, Hagar? Don’t be afraid. For God has heard the voice of the boy where he is.

    18Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him with your hand. For I will make him a great nation.”

    19God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. She went, filled the container with water, and gave the boy a drink.

    6Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”

    7and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.

    8Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan didn’t please Isaac, his father.

    9So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.

    2Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon, the Hittite; and Oholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon, the Hivite;

    3and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebaioth.

    4Adah bore to Esau Eliphaz. Basemath bore Reuel.

    5Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

    6Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, with his livestock, all his animals, and all his possessions, which he had gathered in the land of Canaan, and went into a land away from his brother Jacob.

    7For their substance was too great for them to dwell together, and the land of their travels couldn’t bear them because of their livestock.

    8Esau lived in the hill country of Seir. Esau is Edom.
