20 Isaac était âgé de quarante ans quand il prit pour femme Rebecca, fille de Bathuel l’Araméen, de Paddan-Aram, et sœur de Laban, l’Araméen.
Isaac [Laughter] was forty years old when he took Rebekah [Securely bound], the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram [Elevated], the sister of Laban [White] the Syrian, to be his wife.

Isaac [Laughter] entreated Adonai for his wife, because she was barren. Adonai was entreated by him, and Rebekah [Securely bound] his wife conceived.
22 Les enfants se heurtaient dans son sein, et elle dit: « S’il en est ainsi, pourquoi suis-je enceinte? » Elle alla consulter Yahweh;
The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Adonai.
23 et Yahweh lui dit: « Deux nations sont dans ton sein; deux peuples, au sortir de tes entrailles, se sépareront; un peuple l’emportera sur l’autre, et le plus grand servira le plus petit. »
Adonai said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24 Le temps où elle devait enfanter arriva, et voici, il y avait deux jumeaux dans son sein.
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Celui qui sortit le premier était roux, tout entier comme un manteau de poil, et ils l’appelèrent Esaü; ensuite sortit son frère, tenant dans sa main le talon d’Esaü, et on le nomma Jacob.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau [Hairy].
26 Isaac était âgé de soixante ans quand ils naquirent.
After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau [Hairy]’s heel. He was named Jacob [Supplanter]. Isaac [Laughter] was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 Ces enfants grandirent. Esaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob était un homme paisible, demeurant sous la tente.
The boys grew. Esau [Hairy] was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob [Supplanter] was a quiet man, living in tents.
28 Isaac prit en affection Esaü, parce qu’il aimait la venaison, et l’affection de Rebecca était pour Jacob.
Now Isaac [Laughter] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Esau [Hairy], because he ate Esau’s venison. Rebekah [Securely bound] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Jacob [Supplanter].
29 Comme Jacob faisait un potage, Esaü arriva des champs, accablé de fatigue.
Jacob [Supplanter] boiled stew. Esau [Hairy] came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 Esaü dit à Jacob: « Laisse-moi donc manger de ce roux, de ce roux-là, car je suis fatigué. » — C’est pour cela qu’on a donné à Esaü le nom d’Edom. —
Esau [Hairy] said to Jacob [Supplanter], “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom [Red].
31 Jacob dit: « Vends-moi d’abord ton droit d’aînesse. »
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 Esaü répondit: « Voici je m’en vais mourir; que me servira mon droit d’aînesse? »
Esau [Hairy] said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Et Jacob dit: « Jure-le-moi d’abord. » Il jura et vendit son droit d’aînesse à Jacob.
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob [Supplanter].
34 Alors Jacob donna à Esaü du pain et du potage de lentilles; celui-ci mangea et but; puis il se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Esaü méprisa le droit d’aînesse.
Jacob [Supplanter] gave Esau [Hairy] bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau [Hairy] despised his birthright.
