Genesis 25:19-34 - Jacob And Esau
19 And these the generations of Isaak, son of Abraham: Abraham begetting Isaak. 20 And Isaak shall be the son of forty years in his taking Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, sister of Laban the Syrian, to him for a wife. 21 And Isaak will supplicate to Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren: and Jehovah will be supplicated for him, and Rebekah his wife will conceive. 22 And the sons will struggle within her: and she will say,. If so, wherefore am I thus? And she will go to inquire of Jehovah. 23 And Jehovah will say to her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly: and a people shall be strong above a people, and the great shall serve the small.
24 And her days shall be completed to bring forth; and behold, twins in her belly. 25 And the first shall come forth red, wholly as a mantle of hair: and they will call his name Esau. 26 And after this, his brother will come forth, and his hand having laid hold upon Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaak the son of sixty years in her bringing them forth.
27 And the boys will become great; and Esau will be a man knowing the chase, a man of the country; and Jacob an upright man, dwelling in tents. 28 And Isaak will love Esau for the chase in his mouth: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 And Jacob will boil a boiling, and Esau will come from the country, and he faint 30 And Esau will say to Jacob, Give me now to eat from the red; this red, for I faint: for this he called his name Edom.
31 And Jacob will say, Sell this day thy birth-right to me.
32 And Esau will say, Behold, I am going to die, and what to me this birthright?
33 And Jacob will say, Swear to me this day: and he will swear to him: and he will sell his birth-right to Jacob. 34 And Jacob gave Esau food, and the boiling of lentiles; and he will eat and drink and will rise and go forth: and Esau will despise the birth-right
