Genesis 25:22-26

22And the children struggled together within her; and she saidH559, If it be soH3651, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. 23And Jehovah saidH559 unto her,

TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990,And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578:And the one people shall be strongerH553 than the other people;And the elder shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.

24And when her daysH3117 to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990. 25And the firstH7223 cameH3318 forthH3318 redH132, all over like a hairy garment; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215. 26And after that cameH3318 forthH3318 his brotherH251, and his handH3027 had holdH270 on Esau’s heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescore yearsH8141 old when she bare them.
