19 This is the account of Abraham’s son Isaac. Abraham became the father of Isaac,

And these are the generatios of Isaac Abrahas sonne: Abraha begat Isaac.

20 and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

And Isaac was. xl. yere olde whe he toke Rebecca to wyfe the doughter of Bethuel the Sirian of Mesopotamia and sister to Iaban the Sirien.

21 Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD heard his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

And Isaac made intercessio vnto ye LORde for his wife: because she was bare: and ye LORde was itreated of hi and Rebecca his wife coceaued:

22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,

and ye childern stroue together withi her, the she sayde: yf it shulde goo so to passe what helpeth it yt I am with childe? And she went and axed ye LORde.

23 and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

And ye LORde sayde vnto her there are. ij. maner of people in the wombe and ij. nations shall springe out of thy bowels and the one nation shalbe myghtier than the other and the eldest shalbe servaunte vnto the yonger.

24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.

And whe hir tyme was come to be delyuered beholde: there were. ij. twyns in hir wobe.

25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.

And he that came out first was redde and rough ouer all as it were an hyde: and they called his name Esau.

26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.

And after ward his brother came out and his hande holdynge Esau by the hele. Wher fore his name was called Iacob. And Isaac was. lx. yere olde whe she bare the:

27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.

and the boyes grewe and Esau became a conynge hunter and a tyllman. But Iacob was a simple man and dwelled in the tentes.

28 Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Isaac loved Esau because he dyd eate of his venyso but Rebecca loued Iacob

29 One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.

Iacob sod potage and Esau came from the feld and was faine

30 He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)

and sayd to Iacob: let me syppe of yt redde potage for I am fayntie. And therfore was his name called Edom.

31 “First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.

And Iacob sayde: sell me this daye thy byrthrighte.

32 “Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”

And Esau answered: Loo I am at the poynte to dye and what profit shall this byrthrighte do me?

33 “Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.

And Iacob sayde swere to me then this daye. And he swore to him and sold his byrthrighte vnto Iacob.

34 Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Than Iacob gaue Esau brede and potage of redde ryse. And he ate and dronke and rose vp and went his waye. And so Esau regarded not his byrthrighte.
