Who when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21 Deprecatusque est Isaac Dominum pro uxore sua, eo quod esset sterilis: qui exaudivit eum, et dedit conceptum Rebeccae.
And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
22 Sed collidebantur in utero eius parvuli; quae ait: Si sic mihi futurum erat, quid necesse fuit concipere? Perrexitque ut consuleret Dominum.
But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
23 Qui respondens, ait: Duae gentes sunt in utero tuo, et duo populi ex ventre tuo dividentur, populusque populum superabit, et maior serviet minori.
And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 Iam tempus pariendi advenerat, et ecce gemini in utero eius reperti sunt.
And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
25 Qui prior egressus est, rufus erat, et totus in morem pellis hispidus: vocatumque est nomen eius Esau. Protinus alter egrediens, plantam fratris tenebat manu: et idcirco appellavit eum Iacob.
He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother’s foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26 Sexagenarius erat Isaac quando nati sunt ei parvuli.
Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
27 Quibus adultis, factus est Esau vir gnarus venandi, et homo agricola: Iacob autem vir simplex habitabat in tabernaculis.
And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman, but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28 Isaac amabat Esau, eo quod de venationibus illius vesceretur: et Rebecca diligebat Iacob.
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29 Coxit autem Iacob pulmentum: ad quem cum venisset Esau de agro lassus,
And Jacob boiled pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
30 ait: Da mihi de coctione hac rufa, quia oppido lassus sum. Quam ob causam vocatum est nomen eius Edom.
Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31 Cui dixit Iacob: Vende mihi primogenita tua.
And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32 Ille respondit: En morior, quid mihi proderunt primogenita?
He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me?
33 Ait Iacob: Iura ergo mihi. Iuravit ei Esau, et vendidit primogenita.
Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
34 Et sic accepto pane et lentis edulio, comedit, et bibit, et abiit; parvipendens quod primogenita vendidisset.
And so taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
