Chronological Study of the Bible.

Reading the Bible in chronological order follows the sequence of events as they occurred historically (based on scholarly research), rather than the traditional canonical order. This approach helps connect historical narratives, interweave Psalms and prophetic writings with related events, and provide better context (e.g., placing Job during the patriarchal period and harmonizing Gospel accounts).

Genesis Chapters 25 - 26

Abraham remarries, fathers more sons, but gives his inheritance to Isaac and dies at 175, buried by Isaac and Ishmael. Ishmael's line forms twelve tribes. Isaac's wife Rebekah bears twins: Esau (firstborn) and Jacob. Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for stew.
