the field which Abraham purchased from the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.


versetul 11

After the death of Abraham, God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.


versetul 19

This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.


versetul 20

Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.


versetul 21

Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.


versetul 22

The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of Yahweh.


versetul 23

Yahweh said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”


versetul 24

When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.


versetul 25

The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.


versetul 26

After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.


versetul 27

The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.


versetul 28

Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.


versetul 29

Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.


versetul 30

Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with some of that red stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his name was called Edom.


versetul 31

Jacob said, “First, sell me your birthright.”


versetul 32

Esau said, “Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?”


versetul 33

Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.


versetul 34

Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
