19This is the account of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham fathered Isaac.

20Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.

20Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the Aramean from Paddan-aram and sister of Laban the Aramean.

21Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife because she was childless. The LORD was receptive to his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.

21Later, Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, since she was unable to conceive children, and the LORD responded to him—his wife Rebekah became pregnant.

22But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.

22But when the infants kept on wrestling each other inside her womb, she asked herself, "Why is this happening?" So she asked the LORD for an explanation.

23And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb; two peoples will come from you and be separated. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.

23"Two nations are in your womb," the LORD responded, "and two separate people will emerge. One people will be the stronger, and the older one will serve the younger."

24When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.

24Sure enough, when her due date arrived, she delivered twin sons.

25The first one came out red-looking, covered with hair like a fur coat, and they named him Esau.

25The first son came out reddish—his entire body was covered with hair—so they named him Esau.

26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau's heel with his hand. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

26After that, his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau's heel, so they named him Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.

27When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman, but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.

27As the boys were growing up, Esau became skilled at hunting and was a man of the outdoors, but Jacob was the quiet type who tended to stay indoors.

28Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

28Isaac loved Esau, because he loved to hunt, while Rebekah loved Jacob.

29Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted.

29One day, while Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau happened to come in from being outdoors, and he was feeling famished.

30He said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I'm exhausted." That is why he was also named Edom.

30Esau told Jacob, "Let me gobble down some of this red stuff, since I'm starving." (That's how Esau got his nickname "Edom".)

31Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright."

31But Jacob responded, "Sell me your birthright. Do it now."

32"Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?"

32"Look! I'm about to die," Esau replied. "What good is this birthright to me?"

33Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him.

33But Jacob insisted, "Swear it by an oath right now." So he swore an oath to him and sold his birthright to Jacob.

34Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.

34Then Jacob gave Esau some of his food, along with some boiled stew. So Esau ate, drank, got up, and left, after having belittled his own birthright.
