6
|
But to the sons of his concubines Abraham gave gifts, and while he was still living he sent them away from his son Isaac, eastward to the east country. |

Isaac and Ishmael his sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, east of Mamre, |

11
|
After the death of Abraham God blessed Isaac his son. And Isaac dwelt at Beerlahairoi. |

20
|
and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddanaram, the sister of Laban the Aramean. |
21
|
And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. |
22
|
The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD. |
23
|
And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger." |
24
|
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. |
25
|
The first came forth red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they called his name Esau. |
26
|
Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. |
27
|
When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents. |
28
|
Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his game; but Rebekah loved Jacob. |
29
|
Once when Jacob was boiling pottage, Esau came in from the field, and he was famished. |
30
|
And Esau said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red pottage, for I am famished!" (Therefore his name was called Edom.) |
31
|
Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright." |
32
|
Esau said, "I am about to die; of what use is a birthright to me?" |
33
|
Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob. |
34
|
Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils, and he ate and drank, and rose and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. |
