Jacob and Esau

and Isaac was forty years old… when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean vvv from Paddan-aram and the sister of Laban the Aramean.

21
Later, Isaac prayed to [[YHWH|the LORD]] on behalf of his wife, because she [was] barren. And [[YHWH|the LORD]] heard his prayer and his wife Rebekah conceived.

22
But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said,… “Why is this happening to me?” So [Rebekah] went to inquire of [[YHWH|the LORD]],

23
and [He] declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

24
When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.

25
The first one came out red,… covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him… Esau.

26
After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel -; so he was named… Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old… when [the twins] were born -.

27
When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob… was a quiet man who stayed at home.

28
Because Isaac had a taste for wild game, he loved Esau; but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright

One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished.

He said to Jacob, “Let me eat… some of that red [stew], for I am famished.” (That is why… he was also called… Edom.

32
“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die…, so what good… is a birthright to me?”

εἶπεν δὲ Ἠσαύ Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πορεύομαι τελευτᾷν, καἰ ἵνα τί μοι ταῦτα τὰ πρωτοτοκεῖα; — LXX Swete · 32
33
“Swear to me first -,” Jacob said. So [Esau] swore to [Jacob] and sold him the birthright.

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ μοι σήμερον. καὶ ὤμοσεν αὐτῷ· ἀπέδοτο δὲ Ἠσαὺ τὰ πρωτοτῷ Ἰακώβ. — LXX Swete · 33
34
Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, [who] ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
