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.
01:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she
is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? And Isaac
said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
