Revised Version 1895
Genesis 25:19-28
19And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
20and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, wherefore do I live? And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated even from thy bowels: And the one people shall be stronger than the other people; And the elder shall serve the younger.
24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25And the first came forth red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents.
28Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
