Genesis 25:22-26
22But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why am I in this condition?” So she went to 1inquire of the Lord. 23And the Lord said to her, “2Two nations are in your womb; 3And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people will be stronger than the other; And 4the older will serve the younger.” 24When her days leading to the delivery were at an end, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25Now the first came out red, 5all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26Afterward his brother came out with 6his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so 7he was named 8Jacob; and Isaac was 9sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
