And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.

22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If all is well, why am I like this?" She went to inquire of God.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If [it be] so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger.

24 When the time came for her to give birth, look, there were twins in her womb.

And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint.

30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red — the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.

31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

And Jacob said, Sell me now thy birthright.

32 Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

And Esau said, Behold, I am going to die, and of what use can the birthright be to me?

33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and he sold his birthright to Jacob.

And Jacob said, Swear unto me now. And he swore unto him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.

And Jacob gave Esau bread and the dish of lentils; and he ate and drank, and rose up and went away. Thus Esau despised the birthright.
