01:025:021 And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 01:025:022 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 01:025:023 And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 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.
