Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them. Afterward his brother came out, with his hand gripping Esau’s heel so he was named Jacob. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy mantle so they named him Esau. When her time to give birth was at hand, there were twins in her womb. The one shall be stronger than the other, And the Lord said to her,Īnd two peoples born of you shall be divided The children struggled together within her and she said, “If it is to be this way, why do I live?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren and the Lord granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean.
