[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.  [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.  [26] And after  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  [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  pottage; for I am faint:  therefore was his name  called  Edom.  [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.
