Genesis 25:23-30

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.

27And the boys grewH1431: and EsauH6215 wasH1961 a skilful hunter, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 wasH1961 a quiet manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eat of his venison: and RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29And JacobH3290 boiled pottage: and EsauH6215 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704, and he was faint: 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same redH122 pottage; for I am faint: thereforeH3651 was his nameH8034 calledH7121 EdomH123.
