16 These are the banay (my son) of Yashamaial (Ishmael), and these are their sham (name), by their chatzar (villages), and by their encampments: shanayam (two) nashayaam (princes), according to their amah (nations).

17 These are the shanay (second) of the chay (life) of Yashamaial (Ishmael): maah (hundred) shalawashayam (thirty) thirty-seven shanay (second). He gawai (gave) up the spirit and mawath (death), and was asap (gathered) to his im (nation / people).

18 They lived from Chawayalah (Havilah) to Shawar (Shur) that is panayam (face) Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt), as you bawaa (bring) toward Ashawar (Assyria). He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 This is the history of the thawaladath (generations) of Yatzachaq (Isaac), Abaraham (Abraham's) ban (son). Abaraham (Abraham) became the yalad (birth / begot) of Yatzachaq (Isaac).

20 Yatzachaq (Isaac) was arabaiyam (forty) shanah (years) ban (son) when he laqach (take / seize) Rabaqah (Rebekah), the banath (daughter) of Bathawaal (Bethuel) the Aramay (Syrian) of Padan (Paddan) Aram (), the achawath (sister) of Laban (Laban) the Aramay (Syrian), to be his ayashah (woman / wife).

21 Yatzachaq (Isaac) entreated Yahawah () for his ayashah (woman / wife), because she was iqar (barren). Yahawah () was entreated by him, and Rabaqah (Rebekah) his ayashah (woman / wife) harah (conceived).

22 The banayam (children) ratzatz (struggled) together qarab (among / near) her. She amar (spoke), “If it be so, why do I live?” She yalak (went) to darash (inquire) of Yahawah ().

23 Yahawah () amar (spoke) to her, “shanayam (two) gayayam (nations) are in your batan (womb). Shanayam (two) laamayam (peoples) will be parad (separated) from your body. The one laamayam (people) will be amatz (stronger) than the other laamayam (people). The rab (elder) will ibad (servant) the younger.”

24 When her yawam (day) to be yalad (birth / begot) were malaa (fulfilled), behold, there were thawamam (twins) in her batan (womb).

25 The raashawan (first) yatzaa (go out / come out) out adamanay (red) all over, like a shair (hair) adarath (garment). They sham (name) him Ishaw (Esau).

26 Achar (other) that, his ach (brother/kinsman) yatzaa (go out / come out) out, and his yad (hand) achaz (had) hold on Ishaw (Esau's) iqab (heel). He was sham (name) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch). Yatzachaq (Isaac) was shashayam (sixty) shanah (years) ban (son) when she yalad (birth / begot) them.

27 The nairayam (boys) gadal (grew). Ishaw (Esau) was a skillful tzayad (hunter), a ayash (man / husband) of the shadah (field). Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) was a quiet ayash (man / husband), living in ahalayam (tents).

28 Now Yatzachaq (Isaac) ahab (love) Ishaw (Esau), because he pah (ate) his tzayad (venison). Rabaqah (Rebekah) ahab (love) Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch).

29 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) boiled stew. Ishaw (Esau) bawaa (bring) in from the shadah (field), and he was famished.

30 Ishaw (Esau) amar (said) to Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch), “Please lait (feed) me with that same adam (red) stew, for I am famished.” Therefore his sham (name) was qaraa (called) Adawam (Edom).

31 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) amar (said), “First, makar (sell) me your bakawarah (birthright).”

32 Ishaw (Esau) amar (said), “Behold, I am halak (move) to mawath (death). What good is the bakawarah (birthright) to me?”

33 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) amar (said), “shabai (swear / take oath) to me yawam (day).” He shabai (swear / take oath) to him. He makar (sold) his bakawarah (birthright) to Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch).

34 Yaiqab (Jacob - Patriarch) nathan (give) Ishaw (Esau) lacham (bread) and stew of lentils. He akal (eat) and shathah (drinks), qawam (rise up) up, and went his yalak (way). So Ishaw (Esau) bazah (despised) his bakawarah (birthright).
