⁴ And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau: to Esau I gave Mount Seir, as his heritage; but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.

⁵ Make no attack on them, for I will not give you any of their land, not even space enough for a man's foot: because I have given Mount Seir to Esau for his heritage.

⁸ So Esau made his living-place in the hill-country of Seir (Esau is Edom).

²⁴ And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

²⁵ And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.

²⁶ And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

¹⁵ And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

³ Now Jacob sent servants before him to Esau, his brother, in the land of Seir, the country of Edom;

¹ And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

² And God said to Israel in a night-vision, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here am I.

³ And he said, I am God, the God of your father: go down to Egypt without fear, for I will make a great nation of you there:

⁴ I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

⁵ Then Jacob went on from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Jacob took their father and their little ones and their wives in the carts which Pharaoh had sent for them.

⁶ And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:

⁷ His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

²³ Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
