21 And Isaac maketh entreaty to Jehovah before his wife, for she is barren: and Jehovah is entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiveth, 22 and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If it is right -- why am I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah. 23 And Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the one people than the other people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.' 24 And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins are in her womb; 25 and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau; 26 and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac is a son of sixty years in her bearing them.
