11 And after yt deeth of Abraha God blessed Isaac his sonne which dweld by the well of the lyvige and seige
And after his passing, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near the well named ‘of the One who lives and who sees.’
12 These are the generatios of Ismael Abrahas sonne which Hagar the Egiptia Saras hand mayde bare vnto Abraham.
These are the generations of Ishmael, the son of Abraham, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s servant, bore to him.

19 And these are the generatios of Isaac Abrahas sonne: Abraha begat Isaac.
Likewise, these are the generations of Isaac, the son of Abraham. Abraham conceived Isaac,
20 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.
who, when he was forty years old, took Rebekah, the sister of Laban, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian from Mesopotamia, as a wife.
21 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:
And Isaac beseeched the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And he heard him, and he gave conception to Rebekah.
22 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.
But the little ones struggled in her womb. So she said, “If it was to be so with me, what need was there to conceive?” And she went to consult the Lord.
23 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.
And responding, he said, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be divided out of your womb, and one people will overcome the other people, and the elder will serve the younger.”
24 And whe hir tyme was come to be delyuered beholde: there were. ij. twyns in hir wobe.
Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.
25 And he that came out first was redde and rough ouer all as it were an hyde: and they called his name Esau.
He who departed first was red, and entirely hairy like a pelt; and his name was called Esau. At once the other departed and he held his brother’s foot in his hand; and because of this he was called Jacob.
26 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:
Isaac was sixty years old when the little ones were born to him.
27 and the boyes grewe and Esau became a conynge hunter and a tyllman. But Iacob was a simple man and dwelled in the tentes.
And as adults, Esau became a knowledgeable hunter and a man of agriculture, but Jacob, a simple man, dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac loved Esau because he dyd eate of his venyso but Rebecca loued Iacob
Isaac was fond of Esau, because he was fed from his hunting; and Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Iacob sod potage and Esau came from the feld and was faine
Then Jacob boiled a small meal. Esau, when he had arrived weary from the field,
30 and sayd to Iacob: let me syppe of yt redde potage for I am fayntie. And therfore was his name called Edom.
said to him, “Give me this red stew, for I am very tired.” For this reason, his name was called Edom.
31 And Iacob sayde: sell me this daye thy byrthrighte.
Jacob said to him, “Sell me your right of the firstborn.”
32 And Esau answered: Loo I am at the poynte to dye and what profit shall this byrthrighte do me?
He answered, “Lo, I am dying, what will the right of the firstborn provide for me?”
33 And Iacob sayde swere to me then this daye. And he swore to him and sold his byrthrighte vnto Iacob.
Jacob said, “So then, swear to me.” Esau swore to him, and he sold his right of the firstborn.
34 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.
And so, taking bread and the food of lentils, he ate, and he drank, and he went away, giving little weight to having sold the right of the firstborn.
