19Now theseH428 are the records of 1the generationsH8435 of IsaacH3327, Abraham’sH85 sonH1121: AbrahamH85 2becameH3205 the fatherH3205 of IsaacH3327; 20and IsaacH3327 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 3RebekahH7259, the 4daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the 5ArameanH761 of Paddan-aramH6307, the 6sisterH269 of LabanH3837 the 7ArameanH761, to be his wifeH802. 21IsaacH3327 prayedH6279 to the LordH3068 on behalfH5227 of his wifeH802, becauseH3588 she was barrenH6135; and 8the LordH3068 9answeredH6279 him and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 10conceivedH2029. 22But the childrenH1121 struggledH7533 together withinH7130 her; and she saidH559, “IfH518 it is soH3651, whyH4100 then am I this way?” So she wentH1980 to 11inquireH1875 of the LordH3068. 23The LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “12TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in your wombH990; 13And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 will be separatedH6504 from your bodyH4578; And one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 thanH4480 the otherH3816; And 14the olderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.” 24When her daysH3117 to be deliveredH3205 were fulfilledH4390, beholdH2009, there were twinsH8420 in her wombH990. 25Now the firstH7223 cameH3318 forthH3318 redH132, 15allH3605 over like a hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they namedH7121H8034 him EsauH6215. 26AfterwardH310 his brotherH251 cameH3318 forthH3318 with 16his handH3027 holdingH270 on to Esau’sH6215 heelH6119, so 17his nameH8034 was calledH7121 18JacobH3290; and IsaacH3327 was 19sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to them.
