Then Abraham expired, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full [of years]; and was gathered to his people.

And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which [is] before Mamre;

19 Hæ quoque sunt generationes Isaac filii Abraham: Abraham genuit Isaac:
And these [are] the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20 qui cum quadraginta esset annorum, duxit uxorem Rebeccam filiam Bathuelis Syri de Mesopotamia, sororem Laban.
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccæ.
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she [was] barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 Sed collidebantur in utero ejus parvuli; quæ ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.
And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If [it is] so, why [am] I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23 Qui respondens ait: Duæ gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et major serviet minori.
And the LORD said to her, Two nations [are] in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Jam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero ejus reperti sunt.
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, [there were] twins in her womb.
25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen ejus Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Jacob.
And the first was born red, all over like a hairy garment: and they called his name Esau.
26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.
And after that his brother was born, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac [was] sixty years old when she bore them.
27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Jacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.
And the boys grew: and Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob [was] a plain man dwelling in tents.
28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Jacob.
And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of [his] venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Coxit autem Jacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
And Jacob boiled pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he [was] faint.
30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen ejus Edom.
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 Cui dixit Jacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.
And Jacob said, Sell to me this day thy birth-right.
32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?
And Esau said, Behold, I [am] at the point to die: and what profit shall this birth-right bring to me?
33 Ait Jacob: Jura ergo mihi. Juravit ei Esau et vendidit primogenita.
And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his birth-right to Jacob.
34 Et sic, accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit et bibit, et abiit, parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way: thus Esau despised [his] birth-right.
