23And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to her, TwoH8147 nationsH1471 are in thy wombH990, and two mannerH8147 of peopleH3816 shall be born of theeH6504H4578; 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 was bornH3318 redH132, all over like an hairyH8181 garmentH155; and they calledH7121 his nameH8034 EsauH6215. 26And afterH310 that his brotherH251 was bornH3318, and his handH3027 took holdH270 on Esau’sH6215 heelH6119; and his nameH8034 was calledH7121 JacobH3290: and IsaacH3327 was sixtyH8346 yearsH8141 oldH1121 when she boreH3205 them. 27And the boysH5288 grewH1431: and EsauH6215 was a skilfulH3045 hunterH6718, a manH376 of the fieldH7704; and JacobH3290 was a plainH8535 manH376, dwellingH3427 in tentsH168. 28And IsaacH3327 lovedH157 EsauH6215, because he ateH6310 of his venisonH6718: but RebekahH7259 lovedH157 JacobH3290.1
