As for Ishmael, I have heard you. I will indeed bless him, make him fruitful, and give him a multitude of descendants. He will become the father of twelve princes; I will make him into a great nation.

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

The Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child when I am old?’

The younger daughter also gave birth to a son and named him Ben-Ammi. He is the ancestor of the Ammonites of today.

After these things Abraham was told, “Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor –

His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore him children – Tebah, Gaham, Tahash, and Maacah.

My master’s wife Sarah bore a son to him when she was old, and my master has given him everything he owns.

She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

When his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now.”

She replied, “Here is my servant Bilhah! Have sexual relations with her so that she can bear children for me and I can have a family through her.”

When Leah saw that she had stopped having children, she gave her servant Zilpah to Jacob as a wife.

After Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so that I can go home to my own country.

The sons of Zilpah, Leah’s servant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

Timna, a concubine of Esau’s son Eliphaz, bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Esau’s wife Adah.

These were the sons of Esau’s wife Oholibamah the daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon: She bore Jeush, Jalam, and Korah to Esau.

These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan Aram, along with Dinah his daughter. His sons and daughters numbered thirty-three in all.

These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter. She bore these to Jacob, sixteen in all.

These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter. She bore these to Jacob, seven in all.

Counting the two sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt, all the people of the household of Jacob who were in Egypt numbered seventy.
