18. And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren. | |
19. And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac: | |
20. And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian. | |
21. And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. | |
22. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the Lord. | |
23. And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. | |
24. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. | |
25. And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. | |
26. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. | |
27. And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. | |
28. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob. | |
29. And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: | |
30. And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. | |
31. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. | |
32. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? | |
33. And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. | |
34. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright. |
