19

And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:

20

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

21

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
entreated 1st Sam 1:10

22

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of the LORD.

23

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.
the elder Rom 9:12

24

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

25

And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
hairy Gen 27:11
Esau

26

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.
heel Hosea 12:3
Jacob Matt 1:2

27

And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

28

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29

And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint:

30

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.
Edom Gen 32:3, Gen 36:8, Num 20:14, Judg 11:17, 2nd Sam 8:14

31

And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

32

And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

33

And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
sold Heb 12:16

34

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
