Rivkah's prayers are heard and she finally conceives after 20 years. Her pregnancy is tumultuous and God explains to her that two nations are in her womb. Esau, the firstborn, is a hunter and Yitzchak's favorite; Yaakov, Rebeca's favorite, is a man who stays in tents in search of knowledge. In a plot created by his mother, Esau sells his birthright to Yaakov, who receives all of his father's blessings. Yaakov flees to Charan to find a wife for himself in his mother's family, while Esau marries a girl from the house of Ishmael.
