Genesis:25:19-27
rsv@Genesis:25:19 @ These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham was the father of Isaac,
rsv@Genesis:25:20 @ and Isaac was forty years old when he took to wife Rebekah, the daughter of Bethu'el the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean.
rsv@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
rsv@Genesis:25:22 @ The children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is thus, why do I live?" So she went to inquire of the LORD.
rsv@Genesis:25:23 @ And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples, born of you, shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger."
rsv@Genesis:25:24 @ When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
rsv@Genesis:25:25 @ The first came forth red, all his body like a hairy mantle; so they called his name Esau.
rsv@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand had taken hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
rsv@Genesis:25:27 @ When the boys grew up, Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.
