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.”

When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25 Le premier sortit entièrement roux, comme un manteau de poil; et on lui donna le nom d’Ésaü.
The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau [Hairy].
26 Ensuite sortit son frère, dont la main tenait le talon d’Ésaü; et on lui donna le nom de Jacob. Isaac était âgé de soixante ans, lorsqu’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. Ésaü devint un habile chasseur, un homme des champs; mais Jacob fut un homme tranquille, qui restait sous les tentes.
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 aimait Ésaü, parce qu’il mangeait du gibier; et Rebecca aimait Jacob.
Now Isaac [Laughter] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Esau [Hairy], because he ate Esau’s venison. Rebekah [Securely bound] 'ahav ·affectionately loved· Jacob [Supplanter].

Jacob [Supplanter] said, “First, sell me your birthright.”
32 Ésaü répondit: Voici, je m’en vais mourir; à quoi me sert ce 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 le lui jura, et il 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 Ésaü du pain et du potage de lentilles. Il mangea et but, puis se leva et s’en alla. C’est ainsi qu’Ésaü 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.
