01:025:024 And when her days to be delivered were
fulfilled, behold,
there
were twins in her womb.
01:025:025 And the first came out red, all over like
an hairy garment;
and
they called his name Esau.
01:025:026 And 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.
01:025:027 And the boys grew: and Esau was a
cunning hunter, a man of the
field;
and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
01:025:028 And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat
of his venison: but
Rebekah
loved Jacob.
01:025:029 And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came
from the field, and he
was
faint:
01:025:030 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray
thee, with that same
red
pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name
called
Edom.
01:025:031 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.
01:025:032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point
to die: and what
profit
shall this birthright do to me?
01:025:033 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and
he sware unto him:
and
he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
01:025:034 Then 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.
01:026:001 And 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.
01:026:002 And the lord appeared unto him, and
said, Go not down into
Egypt;
dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
01:026:003 Sojourn 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;
01:026:004 And 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;
01:026:005 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and
kept my charge, my
commandments,
my statutes, and my laws.
01:026:006 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
01:026:007 And 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.
01:026:008 And it came to pass, when he had been there
a long time, that
Abimelech
king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and
saw,
and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.
