And he swore to him and sold his
birthright unto Iacob. Then Iacob gave Esau bread and pottage of
red rice. And he ate and drank and rose up and went his way. And
so Esau regarded not his birthright.
Chapter .xxvi.
And there fell a dearth in the land, passing the first dearth that
fell in the days of Abraham. Wherefore Isaac went unto Abimelech
king of the Philistines unto Gerar. Then the LORD appeared unto
him and said: go not down into Egypt, but bide in the land which I
say unto thee: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and
will bless thee: for unto thee and unto thy seed I will give all
these countries. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto
Abraham thy father, and will multiply thy seed as the stars of
heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries. And
thorow thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed,
because that Abraham hearkened unto my voice and kept mine
ordinances, commandments, statutes and laws. And Isaac dwelled in
Gerar. And the men of the place asked him of his wife, and he said
that she was his sister: for he feared to call her his wife lest
the men of the place should have killed him for her sake, because
she was beautiful to the eye.
