Genesis 25:24-28 Common English Bible (CEB)

24. When she reached the end of her pregnancy, she discovered that she had twins.

25. The first came out red all over, clothed with hair, and she named him Esau.

26. Immediately afterward, his brother came out gripping Esau’s heel, and she named him Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.

27. When the young men grew up, Esau became an outdoorsman who knew how to hunt, and Jacob became a quiet man who stayed at home.

28. Isaac loved Esau because he enjoyed eating game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
