23And the LordH3068 saidH559 to her, “1TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in your wombH990; 2And twoH8147 peoplesH3816 will be separatedH6504 from your bodyH4578; And one peopleH3816 will beH553 strongerH553 thanH4480 the otherH3816; And 3the olderH7227 will serveH5647 the youngerH6810.” 24When her daysH3117 leading to the deliveryH3205 were atH4390 anH4390 endH4390, beholdH2009, there were twinsH8420 in her wombH990. 25Now the firstH7223 cameH3318 outH3318 redH132, 4allH3605 over like a hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they namedH7121H8034 him EsauH6215. 26AfterwardH310 his brotherH251 cameH3318 outH3318 with 5his handH3027 holdingH270 on to Esau’sH6215 heelH6119, so 6he was namedH7121H8034 7JacobH3290; and IsaacH3327 was 8sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she gaveH3205 birthH3205 to them.
27When the boysH5288 grewH1431 upH1431, EsauH6215 becameH1961 a skillfulH3045 hunterH376H6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; but JacobH3290 was a 9civilizedH8535 manH376, 10livingH3427 in tentsH168. 28Now IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215 becauseH3588 11he had 12a tasteH6310 for gameH6718; 13but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290. 29When JacobH3290 had cookedH2102 a 14stewH5138 one day, EsauH6215 cameH935 inH935 from the fieldH7704 and he was exhaustedH5889; 30and EsauH6215 saidH559 to JacobH3290, “PleaseH4994 let me haveH3938 aH3938 mouthfulH3938 of 15that redH122 stuffH123 there, for I am exhaustedH5889.” ThereforeH5921H3651 he was calledH7121 16EdomH112 by nameH8034.
