   ²⁴¶ And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

   ²⁵And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.

   ²⁶And 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.

   ²⁷And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.

   ²⁸And 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:

   ³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

   ³¹And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright.

   ³²And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?

   ³³And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

   ³⁴Then 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.

   ¹⁴¶ And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh unto the king of Edom, Thus saith thy brother Israel, Thou knowest all the travail that hath befallen us:

   ¹⁵How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we have dwelt in Egypt a long time; and the Egyptians vexed us, and our fathers:

   ¹⁶And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard our voice, and sent an angel, and hath brought us forth out of Egypt: and, behold, we are in Kadesh, a city in the uttermost of thy border:

   ¹⁷Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy country: we will not pass through the fields, or through the vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the wells: we will go by the king’s high way, we will not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have passed thy borders.

   ¹⁸And Edom said unto him, Thou shalt not pass by me, lest I come out against thee with the sword.

   ¹⁹And the children of Israel said unto him, We will go by the high way: and if I and my cattle drink of thy water, then I will pay for it: I will only, without doing any thing else, go through on my feet.

   ²⁰And he said, Thou shalt not go through. And Edom came out against him with much people, and with a strong hand.

   ²¹Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his border: wherefore Israel turned away from him.
