UJakobe wamupha u -Esawu isinkwa nokudla kwembumba ; wadla, waphuza, wavuka, wahamba; wadelela kanjalo u-Esawu ubuzibulo bakhe.

U-Isaka wayesethi kuJakobe : Ake usondele , ngikuphathe, ndodana yami , uma uyindodana yami u-Esawu uqobo noma ungesiyo na?

UJakobe waso ndela ku -Isaka uyise ; wamphatha, wathi: Izwi liyizwi likaJakobe, kepha izandla ziyizandla zika-Esawu.

Wayesethi u-Esawu kuyise: Baba, sinye nje isibusiso sakho na ? Ngibusise nami, baba! U-Esawu wadazuluka, wakhala.

U-Esawu wayesemzonda uJakobe ngenxa yesibusiso uyise ambusise ngaso; u-Esawu wathi enhliziyweni yakhe : Izinsuku zokulilela ubaba sezisondele ; khona ngiyakumbulala umfowethu uJakobe.

URebeka watshelwa amazwi ka -Esawu indodana yakhe enkulu ; wathuma wambiza uJakobe indodana yakhe encane , wathi kuye: Bheka, umnewenu u- Esawu uyaziduduza ngawe ngokuthi uyakukubulala.

U-Isaka wayesemmukisa uJakobe , waya ePhadani Aramu kuye uLabani indodana kaBe tuweli umAramu , umfowabo kaRebeka unina kaJakobe no- Esawu.

U-Esawu ebona ukuthi u -Isaka umbusisile uJakobe , wamthuma ePhadani Aramu ukuyothatha khona umfazi , nokuthi lapho embusisa wamyala wathi : Awuyikuthatha umfazi kuwo amadodakazi aseKhanani,

Waziyala ngokuthi : Niyakukhuluma kanje enkosini yami u -Esawu, nithi: Inceku yakho uJakobe ithi : Ngigogobele kuLabani , ngilibele kuze kube manje;

Izithunywa zabuyela kuJakobe , zathi: Safika kumfowenu u -Esawu, naye uyeza ukukuhlangabeza enamadoda angamakhulu amane.
