And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
And Hagar bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. 

***

And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son

***

And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? And they said, Of Haran are we.

***

And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him. 

And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. . . .And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost. And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin. And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.

Canaanites are a people of color

And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.

Er man of fair complexion

And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite, whose name was Shuah; and he took her, and went in unto her. And she conceived, and bare a son; and he called his name Er.

Onan a man of color

And she conceived again, and bare a son; and she called his name Onan.

***

And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit upward.

***

And she yet again conceived, and bare a son; and called his name Shelah:

***

Therefore shalt thou give presents to Moreshethgath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel. Yet will I bring an heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: he shall come unto Adullam the glory of Israel. and he was at Chezib, when she bare him.

***

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

And Hagar bare Abram a son:

And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee

***

That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair

Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; . . .that he said unto Sarai his wife, . . . Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:

***

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed;

Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? 

and Sarah shall have a son.

and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

And Onan knew that the seed should not be his;

And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the

earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold

the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise . . . ; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up:

Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:

*****

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed;. . . and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother.

And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.
***

Tamar the Canaanite,

And Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, whose name was Tamar. And Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord slew him.
Onan. . . And the thing which he did displeased the Lord: wherefore he slew him also.

Then said Judah to Tamar his daughter in law, Remain a widow at thy father's house, till Shelah my son be grown: . . . And she put her widow's garments off from her, and covered her with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place, which is by the way to Timnath; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given unto him to wife.

When Judah saw her, he thought her to be an harlot; because she had covered her face.

And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him.

And it came to pass in the time of her travail, that, behold, twins were in her womb.

And it came to pass, when she travailed, that the one put out his hand: and the midwife took and bound upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, This came out first.

And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon thee: therefore his name was called Pharez.

I will stop here for now
