\v 21 Isaac prayed to Yahweh for his wife because she was childless, and Yahweh answered his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
|

|
|
\v 22 The children struggled together within her, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" She went to ask Yahweh about this.

\v 23 Yahweh said to her,

\q "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you.
|
|
|

\q One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."

\v 24 When it was time for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.
|
|
|
|
\v 25 And the first came out red all over like a hairy garment. They called his name Esau.
|
|
|
|
\v 26 After that, his brother came out. His hand was grasping Esau's heel. He was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when his wife bore them.

\v 27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a quiet man, who spent his time in the tents.
|
|
|
|
\v 28 Now Isaac loved Esau because he ate the animals that he had hunted, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

\v 29 Jacob cooked some stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was weak from hunger.

\v 30 Esau said to Jacob, "Feed me with that red stew. Please, I am exhausted!" That is why his name was called Edom.

\v 31 Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."
|
|
|
|
\v 32 Esau said, "Look, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"
|
|
|
|
\v 33 Jacob said, "First swear to me," so Esau swore an oath and in that way he sold his birthright to Jacob.
|
|
|
|
\v 34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, then got up and went on his way. In this manner Esau despised his birthright.
