Tai eitu khan ke tar noukar khan ke dol-dol kori kene, alag-alag kori kene dise, aru tar noukar khan ke koise, “Moi laga age te jabi, aru ekta dol aru dusra dol laga majot te jaga rakhibi.” Tai poila jon ke hukum di koise, “Jitia moi laga bhai Esau tumi ke lok pai kene tumi ke hudibo, ‘Tumi kun laga ase? Tumi kot te jai ase? Tumar age te thaka eitu khan kun laga ase?’ titia kobi, ‘Eitu khan apuni laga noukar Jacob laga ase, moi laga malik Esau ke pathai diya uphar ase.

Aru tai pora tar ke koise, “Tumar nam ki ase?” Aru tai koise, “Jacob.”

Eitu karne, etiya tak bhi, Israel manuh khan komor laga jor te thaka theng laga mangso nakhai — kilemane tai tate, theng laga mangso te, Jacob laga komor laga jor ke marise.
