Nanku umlando ka-Isaka indodana ka-Abhrahama: u-Abhrahama wazala u-Isaka. U-Isaka wayeseneminyaka engama-40 ngesikhathi eganwa nguRibheka indodakazi kaBhethuweli umAramu wasePhadani Aramu; wayengudadewabo kaLabani umAramu. U-Isaka wamkhulekela kuSimakade uRibheka umkakhe, ngokuba wayengabatholi abantwana, iNkosi yawuzwa umkhuleko wakhe, uRibheka wakhulelwa. Abantwana babeqhubukushana ngaphakathi kuye, waze wathi: “Uma kuzoba nje, pho ngisaphilelani na?” Wayeseyobuza kuSimakade. USimakade wathi kuye: “Esibelethweni sakho kukhona izizwe ezimbili; izinhlobo ezimbili zabantu ozozizala. Ziyakwehlukana ezibilini zakho; esinye isizwe siyakwehlula esinye, omkhulu akhonze omncane.” Kwathi sesifikile isikhathi sokubeletha, wazibula ngamawele. Owabona ilanga kuqala wayenomzimba ompofu ngebala, ephuphuzela uboya bunjengobesiphuku, lona wamqamba igama wathi ngu-Esawu. Emva kwakhe kwazalwa umfowabo owaphuma ebambelele esithendeni sika-Esawu, wamqamba igama wathi nguJakobe. U-Isaka wayeneminyaka engama-60 ngesikhathi kuzalwa laba bafana.
