创25:22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

创25:23And the LORD said unto 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.

创25:24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

创25:25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

创25:26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.

创25:27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

创25:28And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

创25:29And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

创25:30And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

创25:31And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

创25:32And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

创25:33And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

创25:34Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

创26:1And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.

创26:2And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:

创26:3Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;

创26:4And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

创26:5Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

创26:6And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:

创26:7And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she was fair to look upon.
