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 Comme deux enfants s'agitaient en ses entrailles, elle dit: Cela devait- il m'arriver? pourquoi cela m'arrive-t-il? Et elle s'en alla interroger le Seigneur.
The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is so, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Adonai.
23 Le Seigneur lui dit: Deux nations sont en ton sein; deux peuples en sortiront pour se séparer; l'un dominera l'autre, et le plus grand sera soumis au moindre.
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 Et les jours de l'enfantement étant accomplis, elle se trouvait avoir deux jumeaux en ses entrailles.
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier-né sortit roux, tout velu, semblable à une peau de bête fauve; et elle lui donna le nom d'Esaü.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau [Hairy].
26 Après lui sortit son frère, sa main tenait le pied d'Esaü; aussi lui donna-t-elle le nom de Jacob. Isaac avait cinquante ans, lorsque Rébécca les enfanta.
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 Les jeunes gens grandirent. Esaü fut un homme rustique, habile chasseur; Jacob fut un homme paisible, se plaisant à la maison.
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 affectionnait Esaü, parce qu'il se nourrissait de son gibier; mais Rébécca chérissait Jacob.
Now Isaac [Laughter] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Esau [Hairy], because he ate Esau’s venison. Rebekah [Securely bound] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Jacob [Supplanter].
29 Or, Jacob avait fait cuire un mets, comme Esaü arriva de la plaine, défaillant.
Jacob [Supplanter] boiled stew. Esau [Hairy] came in from the field, and he was famished.
30 Et Esaü dit à Jacob: Laisse-moi manger de cette bouillie rousse; car je suis défaillant.
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 répondit à Esaü: Cède-moi aujourd'hui ton droit d'aînesse.
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 Esaü reprit: Je vais mourir; à quoi me sert mon droit d'aînesse?
Esau [Hairy] said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”
33 Jacob lui dit: Prête-moi serment aujourd'hui, et son frère jura; ainsi le droit d'aînesse d'Esaü fut transmis à Jacob.
Jacob [Supplanter] said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob [Supplanter].
34 Jacob donna donc à son frère du pain et de la bouillie de lentilles; Esaü mangea et il but; puis, s'étant levé, il partit, sans se mettre davantage en peine de son 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.
