²⁶ Anon the other went out (And at once the other went out), and held with his hand the heel of his brother; and therefore he called him Jacob^[a]. (And) Isaac was sixty years eld, when the little children were born.

²⁷ And when they were waxen, Esau was a man knowing of hunting, and a man (who was) an earth-tiller; forsooth Jacob was a simple man, and dwelled in tabernacles. (And when they were fully grown, Esau was a man knowledgeable about hunting, and who worked the soil, or was a farmer; and Jacob was a simple man, who stayed at home in the tents.)
