19 The following is the genealogy of Abraham's son Isaac. Abraham was the father of Isaac.

And these [are] [the] accounts of Isaac [the] son of Abraham Abraham he fathered Isaac.

20 When Isaac was 40 he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

And he was Isaac a son of forty year[s] when took he Rebekah [the] daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan Aram [the] sister of Laban the Aramean for himself to a wife.

21 Isaac prayed to the Lord for help on behalf of his wife because she couldn't have children. The Lord answered his prayer and she became pregnant.

And he prayed Isaac to Yahweh to before wife his for [was] barren she and he was entreated by him Yahweh and she conceived Rebekah wife his.

22 The twin babies inside her struggled with each other. So she asked the Lord, “Why is this happening to me?”

And they struggled together the children in inward part[s] her and she said if thus why? this [am] I and she went to consult Yahweh.

23 “You have two nations inside you,” the Lord replied. “You're going to give birth to two peoples who will compete against each other. One will be stronger than the other; the older one will be the servant of the younger one.”

And he said Yahweh to her two (nations *Q(k)*) [are] in womb your and two peoples from inward parts your they will separate and a people more than a people it will be strong and [the] great [one] it will serve [the] young [one].

24 When the time came she gave birth to twins.

And they were completed days her to give birth and there! twins [were] in womb her.

25 The first baby to be born was red, and covered with hair like a coat. So they named him Esau.

And he came out the first red all of him [was] like a cloak of hair and they called name his Esau.

26 Then his twin brother was born, holding on to Esau's heel. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 when they were born.

And after thus he came out brother his and hand his [was] holding on [the] heel of Esau and he called name his Jacob and Isaac [was] a son of sixty year[s] when fathered them.

27 The boys grew up and Esau became a skilled hunter, at home in the countryside. Jacob was quiet and liked to stay at home in the tents.

And they grew up the lads and he was Esau a man [who] knew hunting a man of [the] open country and Jacob [was] a man quiet [who] dwelt tents.

28 Isaac loved Esau because he brought him tasty wild game to eat, while Rebekah loved Jacob.

And he loved Isaac Esau for wild game [was] in mouth his and Rebekah [was] loving Jacob.

29 One day Jacob was cooking some stew when Esau got back from the countryside, tired out and starving hungry.

And he had cooked Jacob cooked food and he came Esau from the field and he [was] exhausted.

30 “Give me some of that red stew,” Esau told Jacob. “I'm absolutely starving!” (That's how Esau got his other name, “Edom,” meaning “red.”)

And he said Esau to Jacob let swallow me please some of the red [stew] the red [stew] this for [am] exhausted I there-fore someone called name his Edom.

31 “First sell me your rights as the firstborn son,” Jacob replied.

And he said Jacob sell! as the day birthright your to me.

32 “Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared.

And he said Esau here! I [am] going to die and for what? this to me [is] a birthright.

33 “First you have to swear to me,” Jacob demanded. So Esau swore an oath selling his rights of the firstborn to Jacob.

And he said Jacob swear! to me as the day and he swore to him and he sold birthright his to Jacob.

34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. By doing this Esau showed how little he cared for his rights as the firstborn son.

And Jacob he gave to Esau bread and cooked food of lentils and he ate and he drank and he arose and he went and he despised Esau the birthright.
