24. When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25. The first came out red all over like a hairy garment, and they named him Esau [hairy].
26. Afterward his brother came forth, and his hand grasped Esau's heel; so he was named Jacob [supplanter]. Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27. When the boys grew up, Esau was a cunning and skilled hunter, a man of the outdoors; but Jacob was a plain and quiet man, dwelling in tents.
28. And Isaac loved [and was partial to] Esau, because he ate of Esau's game; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
29. Jacob was boiling pottage (lentil stew) one day, when Esau came from the field and was faint [with hunger].
30. And Esau said to Jacob, I beg of you, let me have some of that red lentil stew to eat, for I am faint and famished! That is why his name was called Edom [red].
