| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the LORD. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And the LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27When the boys grew up, Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.) |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright now.” |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Esau said, “I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?” |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Jacob said, “Swear to me now.” So he swore to him and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew, and he ate and drank and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. |
