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.
