Genesis 25:19-26

19Now these are the records of 1the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham 2became the father of Isaac; 20and Isaac was forty years old when he took 3Rebekah, the 4daughter of Bethuel the 5Aramean of Paddan-aram, the 6sister of Laban the 7Aramean, to be his wife. 21Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and 8the Lord 9answered him and Rebekah his wife 10conceived. 22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why then am I this way?” So she went to 11inquire of the Lord. 23The Lord said to her, “12Two nations are in your womb; 13And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And 14the older shall serve the younger.” 24When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25Now the first came forth red, 15all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26Afterward his brother came forth with 16his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so 17his name was called 18Jacob; and Isaac was 19sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
