23 And the Lord said to her:Two nations are in your womb;two people will come from you and be separated.One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.
24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.
25 The first one came out red-looking, covered with hair like a fur coat, and they named him Esau.
26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel with his hand. So he was named Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman, but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
28 Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29 Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted.
