Genesis 25:20-28
20And IsaacH3327 was fortyH705 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when he tookH3947 RebekahH7259 to wifeH802, the daughterH1323 of BethuelH1328 the SyrianH761 of Padan–aramH6307, the sisterH269 to LabanH3837 the SyrianH761. 21And IsaacH3327 intreatedH6279 YhwhH3068 forH5227 his wifeH802, because she was barrenH6135: And YhwhH3068 was intreatedH6279 of him, and RebekahH7259 his wifeH802 conceivedH2029. 22And the childrenH1121 struggled togetherH7533 within herH7130; and she saidH559, If it be so, why am I thusH2088? And she wentH3212 to enquireH1875 of YhwhH3068. 23And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be separatedH6504 from thy bowelsH4578; and the one peopleH3816 shall be strongerH553 than the other peopleH3816; and the elderH7227 shall serveH5647 the youngerH6810.
24And when her daysH3117 to be deliveredH3205 were fulfilledH4390, behold, there were twinsH8380 in her wombH990. 25And the firstH7223 came outH3318 redH132, all over like an hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215. 26And afterH310 that cameH3318 his brotherH251 outH3318, and his handH3027 took holdH270 on Esau’sH6215 heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was threescoreH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she bareH3205 them. 27And the boysH5288 grewH1431: and EsauH6215 was a cunningH3045 hunterH6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 was a plainH8535 manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168. 28And IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he did eatH6310 of his venisonH6718: but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290.1
