20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, athe daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, bthe sister of Laban the Syrian.
21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; aand the Lord granted his plea, band Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” aSo she went to inquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said to her:
a“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than bthe other,
cAnd the older shall serve the younger.”
a“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than bthe other,
cAnd the older shall serve the younger.”
24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red. He was alike a hairy garment all over; so they called his name1 Esau.
26 Afterward his brother came out, and ahis hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so bhis name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
