Gen 25:18 And they dwelt [07931] (8799) from Havilah [02341] unto Shur [07793], that is before [06440] Egypt [04714], as thou goest [0935] (8800) toward Assyria [0804]: and he died [05307] (8804) in the presence [06440] of all his brethren [0251].
Gen 25:19 And these are the generations [08435] of Isaac [03327], Abraham's [085] son [01121]: Abraham [085] begat [03205] (8689) Isaac [03327]:
Gen 25:20 And Isaac [03327] was forty [0705] years [08141] old [01121] when he took [03947] (8800) Rebekah [07259] to wife [0802], the daughter [01323] of Bethuel [01328] the Syrian [0761] of Padanaram [06307], the sister [0269] to Laban [03837] the Syrian [0761].
Gen 25:21 And Isaac [03327] intreated [06279] (8799) the LORD [03068] for [05227] his wife [0802], because she was barren [06135]: and the LORD [03068] was intreated [06279] (8735) of him, and Rebekah [07259] his wife [0802] conceived [02029] (8799).
Gen 25:22 And the children [01121] struggled together [07533] (8704) within her [07130]; and she said [0559] (8799), If [it be] so, why [am] I thus [02088]? And she went [03212] (8799) to enquire [01875] (8800) of the LORD [03068].
Gen 25:23 And the LORD [03068] said [0559] (8799) unto her, Two [08147] nations [01471] are in thy womb [0990], and two manner [08147] of people [03816] shall be separated [06504] (8735) from thy bowels [04578]; and [the one] people [03816] shall be stronger [0553] (8799) than [the other] people [03816]; and the elder [07227] shall serve [05647] (8799) the younger [06810].
Gen 25:24 And when her days [03117] to be delivered [03205] (8800) were fulfilled [04390] (8799), behold, [there were] twins [08380] in her womb [0990].
Gen 25:25 And the first [07223] came out [03318] (8799) red [0132], all over like an hairy [08181] garment [0155]; and they called [07121] (8799) his name [08034] Esau [06215].
Gen 25:26 And after [0310] that came [03318] [00] his brother [0251] out [03318] (8804), and his hand [03027] took hold [0270] (8802) on Esau's [06215] heel [06119]; and his name [08034] was called [07121] (8799) Jacob [03290]: and Isaac [03327] was threescore [08346] years [08141] old [01121] when she bare [03205] (8800) them.
Gen 25:27 And the boys [05288] grew [01431] (8799): and Esau [06215] was a cunning [03045] (8802) hunter [06718], a man [0376] of the field [07704]; and Jacob [03290] was a plain [08535] man [0376], dwelling [03427] (8802) in tents [0168].
Gen 25:28 And Isaac [03327] loved [0157] (8799) Esau [06215], because he did eat [06310] of [his] venison [06718]: but Rebekah [07259] loved [0157] (8802) Jacob [03290].
Gen 25:29 And Jacob [03290] sod [02102] (8686) pottage [05138]: and Esau [06215] came [0935] (8799) from the field [07704], and he was faint [05889]:
Gen 25:30 And Esau [06215] said [0559] (8799) to Jacob [03290], Feed [03938] (8685) me, I pray thee, with [04480] that same [0122] red [0122] [pottage]; for I [am] faint [05889]: therefore was his name [08034] called [07121] (8804) Edom [0123].
Gen 25:31 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] (8799), Sell [04376] (8798) me this day [03117] thy birthright [01062].
Gen 25:32 And Esau [06215] said [0559] (8799), Behold, I [am] at the point [01980] (8802) to die [04191] (8800): and what profit shall this birthright [01062] do to me?
Gen 25:33 And Jacob [03290] said [0559] (8799), Swear [07650] (8734) to me this day [03117]; and he sware [07650] (8735) unto him: and he sold [04376] (8799) his birthright [01062] unto Jacob [03290].
Gen 25:34 Then Jacob [03290] gave [05414] (8804) Esau [06215] bread [03899] and pottage [05138] of lentiles [05742]; and he did eat [0398] (8799) and drink [08354] (8799), and rose up [06965] (8799), and went his way [03212] (8799): thus Esau [06215] despised [0959] (8799) [his] birthright [01062].
