19 And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begot Isaac.

And, these, are the generations of Isaac, son of Abraham, —Abraham, begat Isaac;

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

and it came to pass that, Isaac, was forty years old, when he took Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Syrian, of the Plain of Syria, —sister of Laban the Syrian. to himself to wife.

21 And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren. And Jehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

So then Isaac made entreaty unto Yahweh in behalf of his wife, for she was, barren, —and Yahweh suffered himself to be entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 And the children struggled together within her. And she said, If it be so, why do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah.

And the sons within her struggled together, so she said—If so, wherefore now am, I, [thus]? And she went to seek Yahweh.

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

And Yahweh said to her. Two nations, are in thy womb, And two races, from thy body, shall be parted, —And, one race, shall be stronger, than the other race, And the elder, shall serve the younger.

24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

Then were fulfilled her days to bring forth, —and lo! twins in her womb.

25 And the first came forth red all over like a hairy garment, and they called his name Esau.

And the first came forth red, all over, as a mantle of hair, —so they called his name, Esau,

26 And after that his brother came forth, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel, and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

And, after that, came forth his brother with his hand fast hold of the heel of Esau, so they called his name Jacob—Now, Isaac, was sixty years old when she bare them,

27 And the boys grew. And Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field. And Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

And when the youths grew up, it came to pass that Esau was a man skilled in game a man of the field, —but, Jacob, was a ready man, dwelling in tents.

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison. And Rebekah loved Jacob.

And, Isaac, loved, Esau, because of the game he put in his mouth, —but, Rebekah, was a lover of Jacob!

29 And Jacob boiled pottage. And Esau came in from the field, and he was faint.

And Jacob had boiled pottage, —when Esau came in from the field, he, being famished.

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.

So Esau said unto Jacob. Do let me devour some of the red—this red, for, famished, I am. For this cause, was his name called Edom.

31 And Jacob said, First sell me thy birthright.

And Jacob said, —Come sell, just now, thy birthright unto me.

32 And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die, and what profit shall the birthright do to me?

And Esau said, Here am I, on the point of dying, —wherefore, then, should I, have, a birthright?

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

And Jacob said, Come swear to me just now! And he sware to him, —and 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.

And Jacob, having given to Esau bread and a dish of lentils, he did eat and drink and rose up, and went his way, —thus Esau despised his birthright!
