Genesis 25:21-23
21Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and 1the Lord 2answered him and Rebekah his wife 3conceived. 22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why then am I this way?” So she went to 4inquire of the Lord. 23The Lord said to her, “5Two nations are in your womb; 6And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And 7the older shall serve the younger.”
