But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have raised my hand to Jehovah the Most High God, possessor of the heavens and earth,

and I will make you swear by Jehovah the God of the Heavens and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;

He also swore to her, Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.

For men indeed swear by the greater, and an oath for confirmation is for them an end of all dispute.

And Esau said, Is he not rightly called by the name Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now behold, he has taken away my blessing! And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?

And Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the souls of his house, his cattle and all his animals, and all his possessions which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from the presence of his brother Jacob.

For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were sojourners could not support them because of their livestock.

that there be no prostitute or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food gave away his birthright.
