Genesis 25:19-34
19And these are the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham’s sonH1121: AbrahamH85 begat IsaacH3327: 20and IsaacH3327 wasH1961 fortyH705 yearsH8141 old when he tookH3947 RebekahH7259, the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sisterH269 of LabanH3837 the Syrian, to beH1961 his wifeH802. 21And IsaacH3327 entreatedH6279 Jehovah for his wifeH802, because she was barrenH6135: and Jehovah was entreatedH6279 of him, and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 conceivedH2029. 22And the children struggled together within her; and she saidH559, If it be soH3651, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. 23And Jehovah saidH559 unto her,
24And when her daysH3117 to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990. 25And the firstH7223 cameH3318 forthH3318 redH132, all over like a hairy garment; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215. 26And after that cameH3318 forthH3318 his brotherH251, and his handH3027 had holdH270 on Esau’s heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescore yearsH8141 old when she bare them.
27And the boys grewH1431: and EsauH6215 wasH1961 a skilful hunter, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 wasH1961 a quiet manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eat of his venison: and RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29And JacobH3290 boiled pottage: and EsauH6215 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704, and he was faint: 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same redH122 pottage; for I am faint: thereforeH3651 was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123. 31And JacobH3290 saidH559, SellH4376 me first thy birthrightH1062. 32And EsauH6215 saidH559, Behold, I am about to dieH4191: and what profit shall the birthrightH1062 do to me? 33And JacobH3290 saidH559, SwearH7650 to me first; and he sware unto him: and he soldH4376 his birthrightH1062 unto JacobH3290. 34And JacobH3290 gaveH5414 EsauH6215 breadH3899 and pottage of lentilsH5742; and he did eatH398 and drinkH8354, and roseH6965 up, and went his way: so EsauH6215 despisedH959 his birthrightH1062.
