And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, - so they called his name, Esau,

And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob - Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,

And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, - but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.

And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, - but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!.

And Jacob had boiled pottage, - when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.

So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red - this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.

And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, - wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, - thus Esau despised his birthright!

And when Esau was forty years old, he took to wife Judith, daughter of Beeri. the Hittite; and Basemath, daughter of Elon, the Hittite;

And it came to pass that Isaac, was old, and his eyes became too dim to see, so he called Esau his elder son and said unto him My son! And he said unto him, Behold me!

Now, Rebekah, was hearkening, when Isaac spake unto Esau his son, and Esau went his way to the field, to catch game, to bring in.

Rebekah, therefore spake unto Jacob her son saying, - Lo! I heard thy father, speaking unto Esau thy brother, saying,

And Jacob said unto Rebekah his mother, Lo! Esau my brother, is a hairy man, whereas, I, am a smooth man:

Then took Rebekah the garments of Esau her elder son, the costly ones, which were with her in the house, - and put them on Jacob her younger son:

And Jacob said unto his father I, am Esau thy firstborn, I have made ready, as thou didst bid me. Rise, I pray thee, sit up, and eat thou of my game, To the end thy soul may bless me.

Then said Isaac unto Jacob. Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee my son - whether, thou thyself, art my son Esau, or not.

So Jacob came near unto Isaac his father, and he felt him; then said he the voice is the voice of Jacob; But, the hands, are the hands of Esau.

So he did not find him out, because, his hands were like the hands of Esau his brother hairy, - so he blessed him.

And he said, Thou thyself, art my son Esau? And he said, I am!

And it came to pass as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, - yea it came to pass when Jacob, had only just gone forth, from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother, came in from his hunting.

And Isaac his father said to him Who art, thou? And he said, I, am thy son thy firstborn, Esau.

When Esau heard the words of his father, then cried he out with an outcry loud and bitter exceedingly, - and said to his father, Bless even me also, O my father!

Then answered Isaac and said to Esau, - Lo a lord, have I appointed him unto thee, And, all his brethren, lave I given to him as servants, And with corn and new wine, have I sustained him, - And for thee - now, what can I do, my son?

And Esau said unto his father, But one blessing, hast thou, O my father? Bless, me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

And Esau lay in wait for Jacob, on account of the blessing wherewith his father had blessed him, - and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father draw near, when I can slay Jacob my brother.

Then were told to Rebekah, the words of Esau her elder son, so she sent and called for Jacob, her younger son, and said unto him - Lo! Esau, thy brother, is consoling himself as touching thee, to slay thee.

So Isaac sent away Jacob, and he took his journey to Padan-aram, - unto Laban son of Bethuel, the Syrian, brother of Rebekah, mother of Jacob and Esau.

And Esau beheld that Isaac, when he blessed Jacob, and sent him to Padan-aram, to take to himself from thence a wife, that in blessing him, he laid command upon him, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;

So then Esau beheld that displeasing, were the daughters of Caanan, - in the eyes of Isaac his father:

Esau therefore went unto Ishmael, - and took Mahalath daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham sister of Nebaioth, to himself to wife, in addition to the wives that he had.

Then did Jacob send messengers before him unto Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the field of Edom.

And he commanded them, saying, Thus, shall ye say to my lord to Esau, Thus, saith thy servant Jacob, With Laban, have I sojourned, and tarried until now:

And the messengers returned unto Jacob, saying, - We came in unto thy brother unto Esau, moreover also he is on his way to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.

And he said. Should Esau come upon the one camp, and smite it, yet shall the camp that is left escape.

Deliver me I pray thee out of the hand of my brother out of the hand of Esau, for I, am afraid of him, lest he come in and smite mother as well as sons

And he tarried there that night, and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother:

And be commanded the first one saying: When Esau my brother shall fall in with thee, and shall ask thee, saying Whose art thou? and whither wouldst thou go? and to whom belong these before thee?

then shalt thou say, To thy servant Jacob: It is, a present, sent to my lord, to Esau; And behold he himself also is behind us,

And he commanded the second also, and the third yea all that were going on behind the droves, saying, - According to this word, shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.

Then Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and lo! Esau, coming in, - and with him, four hundred men. So he divided the children - unto Leah and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids;

Then ran Esau to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, - and they wept.

Then said Esau, I have an abundance, - my brother, be thine what thou hast!

Then said Esau: Let me leave, I pray thee, along with thee, some of the people who are with me! And he said - Why so? let me find favour in the eyes of my lord!

So Esau returned, that day, to his journey towards Mount Seir.

Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, - and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.

And Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, - and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.

Now these, are the generations of Esau the same, is Edom.

Esau, took his wives of the daughters of Canaan, - Even Adah, daughter of Elon, the Hittite, And Oholibamah daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon, the Hivite;

So Adah bare to Esau, Eliphaz, and, Basemath, bare Reuel;

and Oholibamah, bare Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These, are the sons of Esau, who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

Then took Esau his wives, and his sons, and his daughters and all the souls of his house, and his herds and all his beasts, and all his possessions whatsoever he had gathered in the land of Canaan, - and went into a land, away from the face of Jacob his brother,

So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir, Esau, is Edom.

And, these, are the generations of Esau father of Edom, - in Mount Seir.

These, are the name of the sons of Esau, - Eliphaz son of Adah wife of Esau, Reuel son of Basemath wife of Esau.

Now, Timna, became the concubine of Eliphaz son of Esau, and she bare to Eliphaz Amalek. These, are the sons of Adah, wife of Esau.

And, these, are the sons of Reuel, Nahath and Zerah Shammah and Mizzah, - These were the sons of Basemath wife of Esau.

And, these, were the sons of Oholibamah daughter of Anah, son of Zibeon, wife of - Esau, - she bare to Esau Jeush, and Jalam, and Korah.

These, are the chiefs of the sons of Esau: - The sons of Eliphaz, firstborn of Esau, - Chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz,

And these, are the sons of Reuel, son of Esau - Chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah, - These are the chiefs of Reuel, in the land of Edom, these, the sons of Basemath wife of Esau.

And these, are the sons of Oholibamah wife of Esau, Chief Jeush chief Jalam, chief Korah, - These are the chiefs of Oholibamah daughter of Anah wife of Esau.

These, are the sons of Esau, and, these, their chiefs - the same, is Edom.

These then are the names of the chiefs of Esau after their families, after their places by their names, - Chief Timnah, chief Alvah chief Jetheth;

chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These, are the chiefs of Edom - after their dwellings in the land of their possession, the same, is Esau, father of Edom.
