21 And Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. And Yahweh was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife became pregnant.22 And the sons struggled together inside her. And she said, If it is so, why is this happening to me? And she went to inquire of Yahweh.23 And Yahweh said to her, Two nations are in your womb, And two peoples will be separated from inside you. And the one people will be stronger than the other people. And the elder will serve the younger.24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, look, there were twins in her womb.25 And the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment. And they named him Esau.26 And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had a hold on Esau's heel. And his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.27 And the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison. And Rebekah loved Jacob.29 And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray you, with that same red [pottage]. For I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.31 And Jacob said, First sell me your birthright.32 And Esau said, Look, I am about to die. And what profit will the birthright be to me?33 And Jacob said, Swear to me first. And he swore to him. And he sold his birthright to Jacob.34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils. And he ate and drank, and rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
