UGenesise 25:19-26

Lezi ziyizizukulwane zika-Isaka indodana ka-Abrahama: u-Abrahama wazala u-Isaka; u-Isaka wayeneminyaka engamashumi amane mhla emthatha uRebeka indodakazi kaBetuweli, umAramu wasePhadani Aramu, udadewabo kaLabani umAramu, abe ngumkakhe. U-Isaka wamkhulekela umkakhe kuJehova, ngokuba wayeyinyumba; uJehova wamzwela; uRebeka umkakhe wakhulelwa. Abantwana baqhubukushana phakathi kwakhe; wathi: “Uma kunje, ngisekhona ngani na?” Waya wabuza kuJehova. UJehova wathi kuye: “Esiswini sakho kukhona izizwe ezimbili; izinhlobo ezimbili zabantu ziyakwahlukana ezibilinini zakho; esinye isizwe siyakwahlula esinye, omkhulu akhonze omncane.” Kwathi seziphelele izinsuku zakhe zokubeletha, bheka, kwakukhona amawele esiswini sakhe. Waphuma owokuqala, ebomvana wonke umzimba, enjengengubo yoboya; baqamba igama lakhe ngokuthi u-Esawu. Emva kwalokho kwaphuma umfowabo, isandla sakhe sibambelele esithendeni sika-Esawu; igama lakhe labizwa ngokuthi uJakobe;* u-Isaka wayeneminyaka engamashumi ayisithupha ekuzalweni kwabo.
