²⁷ Descendants of TerahNow these are the family records of Terah: Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. ²⁸ Haran died during his father’s lifetime in the land of his birth, that is, in Ur of the Chaldeans. ²⁹ Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife was Milcah. She was the daughter of Haran, who was the father of Milcah and Iscah. ³⁰ Sarai was barren, so she had not borne children.
³¹ Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot (Haran’s son), and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they journeyed together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan. But when they had gone as far as Haran, they settled there, ³² where Terah died at the age of 205 years.

⁵ Your name is no longer to be Abram. Instead your name will be Abraham, since I’ll make you the father of many nations.

² and Joshua told all of the people, “This is what the LORD God of Israel has to say: ‘Long ago your ancestors lived beyond the Euphrates River, including Terah, father of both Abraham and Nahor, where they served other gods.

⁷ You are the LORD, the God who chose Abram, whom you brought from Ur of the Chaldeans and to whom you gave the name Abraham.

¹¹ “Look, you are pregnant and will give birth to a son,” the angel of the LORD continued to say to her. “You will name him Ishmael, because the LORD has heard your cry of misery. ¹² He’ll be a wild donkey of a man. He’ll be against everyone, and everyone will be against him. He will live in conflict with all of his relatives.”
¹³ So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are ‘God who sees,’ because I have truly seen the one who looks after me.”
¹⁴ That’s why the spring was called, “The Well of the Living One who Looks after Me.” It was between Kadesh and Bered.
¹⁵ Hagar eventually gave birth to Abram’s son. Abram named his son whom Hagar bore Ishmael. ¹⁶ Abram was 86 years old when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael for Abram.

¹⁹ But God replied, “No, but your wife Sarah will give birth to your son, and you are to name him Isaac. I’ll confirm my covenant with him as an eternal covenant for his descendants. ²⁰ And as for Ishmael, I’ve heard you. I’ll bless him, and he’ll have many descendants. I will multiply him greatly, he’ll father twelve tribal leaders, and I’ll cause his descendants to become a great nation. ²¹ Now as to Isaac, I’ll confirm my covenant with him, to whom Sarah will give birth as your son at this time next year.”

² Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the very time that God had told him.
³ Abraham named his son who was born to him Isaac—the very one whom Sarah bore for him! ⁴ On the eighth day after his son Isaac had been born, Abraham circumcised him, just as God had commanded him. ⁵ Abraham was 100 years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

⁹ Nevertheless, when Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian—whom Hagar had borne to Abraham—making fun of Isaac, ¹⁰ she told Abraham, “Throw out this slave girl, along with her son, because this slave’s son will never be a co-heir with my son Isaac!”

¹² but God told Abraham, “Don’t be troubled about the youth and your slave girl. Pay attention to Sarah in everything she tells you, because your offspring are to be named through Isaac.

¹² A Summary of Ishmael’s LifeNow this is what happened to Ishmael, whom Sarah’s Egyptian servant Hagar bore for Abraham. ¹³ Here’s a list of the names of Ishmael’s sons, recorded by their names and descendants: Nebaioth was the firstborn, followed by Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, ¹⁴ Mishma, Dumah, Massa, ¹⁵ Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. ¹⁶ These were Ishmael’s children, listed by their names according to their villages and their camps. There were a total of twelve tribal chiefs, according to their clans.

⁹ so he went to Abraham’s son Ishmael and married Ishmael’s daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth.

⁴ Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees!

⁵ The Loved OneThe daughters of Jerusalem, I’m dark and lovely like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

¹⁷ And there will be few archers, those who are descendants of Kedar, who survive, because the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.”

⁷ All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you. and they’ll come up with acceptance upon my altar, and I’ll glorify my glorious house.”

¹⁵ Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

¹¹ A Message about DumahA message concerning Dumah. “Someone is calling to me from Seir: ‘Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?’

¹ Abraham Names Isaac to be His HeirAbraham had taken another wife whose name was Keturah. ² She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. ³ Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan. Dedan’s sons were the Asshurites, Letushites, and Leummites. ⁴ Midian’s sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All of these were Keturah’s descendants.

²⁸ As the Midianite merchants were passing through, they extracted Joseph from the cistern and sold Joseph for 20 pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who then took Joseph down to Egypt.

¹⁵ Moses Flees to MidianWhen Pharaoh heard about this matter, he tried to kill Moses. So Moses fled from Pharaoh, settled in the land of Midian, and sat down by a well. ¹⁶ Meanwhile, the seven daughters of a certain Midianite priest would come to draw water in order to fill water troughs for their father’s sheep.

⁴ the Moabites told the elders of Midian, “This horde of people is about to lick up everything around us, like an ox licks up the green ground.”
At that time, Zippor’s son Balak was the king of Moab. ⁵ He sent messengers to Beor’s son Balaam in Pethor, near the Euphrates River, the land where the descendants of his people originated, to summon his aid. He said, “Look! A group of people have escaped from Egypt. They cover the surface of the whole earth, and are sitting here right in front of me. ⁶ So come right now and curse this people for me, because there are too many of them for me to handle. Perhaps I’ll be able to strike them down and drive them out of the land, since I know that whomever you bless is blessed and whomever you curse is cursed.”
⁷ So the elders of Moab and Midian left to visit Balaam, bringing an honorarium with them, and communicated Balak’s concerns to him.

⁶ That very moment, one of the Israelis arrived, bringing to his brothers one of the Midianite women, right in front of Moses and the entire community of Israel, while they were weeping at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting!

² “Be sure to exact vengeance on behalf of the Israelis from the Midianites, after which you’ll be taken home to your people.”

¹ Gideon, Israel’s Fifth JudgeLater on, the Israelis practiced what the LORD considered to be evil, so the LORD handed them over to the domination of Midian for seven years. ² Midian’s control predominated throughout Israel, and because of Midian the Israelis went out to find temporary hiding places for themselves in the mountains, caves, and fortified places.
³ Whenever the Israelis sowed their crops, the Midianites, the Amalekites, and certain groups from the east would come up and invade them. ⁴ They set up their military encampments to fight them, destroyed the harvest of the land as far as Gaza, and left nothing in Israel, whether harvested grain, sheep, oxen, or donkeys. ⁵ They would invade with their livestock and tents, swooping in as numerous as locusts. It was impossible to count them or their camels—and they came into the land to destroy it. ⁶ Because Israel was deeply impoverished due to the Midianites, they cried out to the LORD.

¹ The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon
When the queen of Sheba heard about Solomon’s reputation with the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.

¹⁹ Travelers from Tema search intently; caravans from Sheba hope to find them.

¹⁵ Prayer for the KingMay he live long and be given gold from Sheba, and may prayer be offered for him continuously, and may he be blessed every day.

¹³ A Message about ArabiaA message concerning Arabia. “You will camp in the thickets in Arabia, you caravans of the Dedanites.

⁶ Throngs of camels will blanket you: the young camels of Midian and Ephu; all those from Shebu will come. They’ll carry gold and frankincense, and proclaim the praise of the LORD.

²³ Dedan, Tema, Buz, and those who shave the corners of their beards;

⁸ Flee, turn around! Go to a remote place to stay, residents of Dedan! For I’ll bring Esau’s disaster on him at the time when I punish him.

¹³ therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I’m going to raise my clenched fist in Edom’s direction and eliminate every single human being and animal from Edom! I’m going to turn everything into a wasteland, starting with Teman, and Dedan will fall by violence!

²⁰ “Dedan traded with you, exchanging riding blankets.

² Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son for Abraham in his old age, at the very time that God had told him.
³ Abraham named his son who was born to him Isaac—the very one whom Sarah bore for him!

²⁴ Sure enough, when her due date arrived, she delivered twin sons. ²⁵ The first son came out reddish—his entire body was covered with hair—so they named him Esau. ²⁶ After that, his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, so they named him Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.
²⁷ As the boys were growing up, Esau became skilled at hunting and was a man of the outdoors, but Jacob was the quiet type who tended to stay indoors. ²⁸ Isaac loved Esau, because he loved to hunt, while Rebekah loved Jacob.

²⁸ “Your name won’t be Jacob anymore,” the man replied, “but Israel, because you exerted yourself against both God and men, and you’ve emerged victorious.”

²⁸ Genealogy of Abraham’s Family
Abraham’s descendants were Isaac and Ishmael.

² “I’ve loved you,” says the LORD. “But you ask, ‘How have you loved us?’
“Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” declares the LORD, “yet I loved Jacob, ³ rejected Esau, turned his mountains into a wasteland, and gave his inheritance to desert jackals. ⁴ Even though Edom may claim, ‘We were crushed, but we will return and rebuild the ruins,’ this is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: “They may rebuild, but I’ll demolish. People will call them, ‘The Wicked Land,’ and, ‘The People With Whom the LORD is Forever Angry.’

² The Ancestry of Jesus
Abraham fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers.

³⁴ the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor,

⁸ Later, God gave Abraham the covenant of circumcision. Later, he fathered Isaac and circumcised him on the eighth day. Then Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob fathered the twelve patriarchs.

¹⁰ Not only that, but Rebecca became pregnant by our ancestor Isaac. ¹¹ Yet before their children had been born or had done anything good or bad (so that God’s plan of election might continue to operate ¹² according to his calling and not by actions), Rebecca was told, “The older child will serve the younger one.” ¹³ So it is written, “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

⁴ Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel, and ⁵ Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah. These were Esau’s sons, who were born to him in the territory of Canaan.

⁹ This is a record of the family history of Esau, the ancestor of the Edomites of Mount Seir. ¹⁰ The names of Esau’s sons were Eliphaz (the son of Esau’s wife Adah) and Reuel (the son of Esau’s wife Basemath).
¹¹ Eliphaz’s sons were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz. ¹² Timnah was a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz. She bore Amalek to Eliphaz.
¹³ Reuel’s sons were Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Basemath.
¹⁴ These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, who was the daughter of Zibeon. She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah for Esau.
¹⁵ Leaders of Esau’s DescendantsThese were the tribal leaders of Esau’s descendants; that is, the children of Eliphaz, who was Esau’s firstborn: tribal leaders Teman, Omar, Zepho, Kenaz,

⁵³ Kenaz, Teman, Mibzar,

⁷ Prophecies against EdomTo Edom: This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: “Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished among the prudent? Is their wisdom gone?

²⁰ Therefore, hear the plan that the LORD has made against Edom, and the strategy that he devised against the inhabitants of Teman. Surely he will drag the little ones of the flock away. Surely their pasture will be desolate because of them.

¹² So I will send down fire upon Teman, and it will devour the fortified citadels of Bozrah.”

⁹ Teman, our mighty soldiers will be dismayed, so that every man from Esau’s Mountain will be slaughtered.”

²² Lotan’s children were Hori and Hemam. Lotan’s sister was Timna.

¹² The Horites used to live in Seir before the descendants of Esau dispossessed them, exterminated them, and settled there instead, just as Israel will do in the land of its possession, which the LORD gave them.)

²² This is what he did for the descendants of Esau who live in Seir, when he destroyed the Horites before them. So they dispossessed them and settled there in their place, where they live to this day.

¹⁰ The scepter will never depart from Judah, nor a ruler’s staff from between his feet, until the One comes, who owns them both, and to him will belong the allegiance of nations.

¹⁷ I can see him, but not right now. I observe him, but from a distance. A star streams forth from Jacob; a scepter arises from Israel. He will crush Moab’s forehead, along with all of Seth’s descendants. ¹⁸ Edom will be a conquered nation and Seir will be Israel’s defeated foe, while Israel performs valiantly. ¹⁹ He will rule over Jacob, annihilating those who survive in the city.”

Judgment on Bozrah and Edom “For the LORD holds a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

¹ God’s Day of Vengeance “Who is this coming from Edom, from Bozrah, in garments stained crimson? Who is this, robed in such splendor, marching in his great might? It is I, speaking in vindication, mighty to save.

¹³ Indeed, I’ve sworn by myself,” declares the LORD, “that Bozrah will become an object of horror and scorn, a waste, and an object of ridicule. All her towns will become perpetual ruins.”

¹² The Coming Judgment“Jacob, how I will surely gather all of you! How I will gather the survivors of Israel! I will gather them together like sheep in a pen, like the flock in the midst of the sheepfold. There will be a great commotion because of all the people.
