So he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them. 27 The boys grew up, and Esau became a skilled hunter, a man of the open country, while Jacob was a quiet man who stayed among the tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because he enjoyed the game Esau brought, but Rebekah loved Jacob. 29 One day when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, exhausted. 30 Esau said to Jacob, 'Let me gulp down some of that red stew, for I am exhausted.' This is why he was also called Edom. 31 Jacob replied, 'First, sell me your birthright.' 32 Esau said, 'Look, I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?' 33 But Jacob said, 'Swear to me first.'

Then he asked, 'Haven't you reserved any blessing for me?' 37 Isaac answered Esau, 'Behold, I have made him lord over you and have given him all his brothers as servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. So what can I possibly do for you, my son?' 38 Esau said to his father, 'Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!' Then Esau lifted up his voice and wept. 39 His father Isaac answered him, 'Your dwelling will be away from the richness of the earth and away from the dew of heaven above.' 40 You will live by the sword and serve your brother. But when you grow restless, you will throw his yoke from off your neck. 41 Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, 'The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.'

We only ask to pass through on foot." 20 But Edom insisted, "You may not pass through." And Edom came out against them with a large, strong force. 21 Since Edom refused to let Israel pass through its territory, Israel turned away from them.
