Genesis 25:23-30

23The LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “1TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in your wombH990; 2And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 will be separatedH6504 from your bodyH4578; And one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 thanH4480 the otherH3816; And 3the 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, 4allH3605 over like a hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they namedH7121H8034 him EsauH6215. 26AfterwardH310 his brotherH251 cameH3318 forthH3318 with 5his handH3027 holdingH270 on to Esau’sH6215 heelH6119, so 6his nameH8034 was calledH7121 7JacobH3290; and IsaacH3327 was 8sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to them.

27When the boysH5288 grewH1431 up, EsauH6215 becameH1961 a skillfulH3045 hunterH376H6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704, but JacobH3290 was a 9peacefulH8535 manH376, 1011livingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, becauseH3588 12he had 13a tasteH6310 for gameH6718, 14but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29When JacobH3290 had cookedH2102 15stewH5138, EsauH6215 cameH935 in from the fieldH7704 and he was 16famishedH5889; 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “PleaseH4994 let me haveH3938 a swallowH3938 of 17that redH122 stuffH123 there, for I am 18famishedH5889.” ThereforeH5921H3651 his nameH8034 was calledH7121 19EdomH112.
