The Births Of Jacob And Esau

And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD let Himself be entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her, and she said, "If it be so, why am I thus?" And she went to inquire of the LORD. And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people, and the elder shall serve the younger." And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like a hairy mantle; and they called his name Esau. And after that came out his brother, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
