  Jacob and Esau

This is the account of Abraham's son Issac. Abraham became the father of Isaac, and Isaac was fourty years old when married Rebakah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Padan Aram and sister of Raban the Aramean. Isaac was prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. The babies jostled each other with in her, and she said, "Why is this happning to me?" So she went to inquired of the Lord. The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and Two peoples from within you will be seperated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."

  When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb. The first come out was red, and his whole body was like hairy garment; so they named him Esau. After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them. The boys grew up, and Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man, staying among the tents. Isaac, who had a taste  for wild game, loved Esau, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 

  Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country famished. He said to Jacob, "Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I'm famished!" (This is why he was also called Edom) Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright." "Look, I am about to die" Esau said, "What good is birteright to me?"  But Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore an oath to him., selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.
