11
And it came to pass after the death of Abraham that God blessed his son Isaac and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi
12
Now these are the generations of Ishmael raham’s son whom Hagar the Egyptian Sarah’s handmaid bare unto Abraham

19
And these are the generations of Isaac raham’s son Abraham begat Isaac
20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram the sister to Laban the Syrian
21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife because she was barren and the LORD was intreated of him and Rebekah his wife conceived
22
And the children struggled together within her and she said If it be so why am I thus And she went to enquire of the LORD
23
And the LORD said unto her Two nations are in thy womb and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels and the one people shall be stronger than the other people and the elder shall serve the younger
24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled behold there were twins in her womb
25
And the first came out red all over like an hairy garment and they called his name Esau
26
And after that came his brother out and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel and his name was called Jacob and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them
27
And the boys grew and Esau was a cunning hunter a man of the field and Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents
28
And Isaac loved Esau because he did eat of his venison but Rebekah loved Jacob
29
And Jacob sod pottage and Esau came from the field and he was faint
30
And Esau said to Jacob Feed me I pray thee with that same red pottage for I am faint therefore was his name called Edom
31
And Jacob said Sell me this day thy birthright
32
And Esau said Behold I am at the point to die and what profit shall this birthright do to me
33
And Jacob said Swear to me this day and he sware unto him and he sold his birthright unto Jacob
34
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles and he did eat and drink and rose up and went his way thus Esau despised his birthright
