Genesis 25:25-29 New English Translation (NET)

25. The first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they named him Esau.

26. When his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, they named him Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.

27. When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter, a man of the open fields, but Jacob was an even-tempered man, living in tents.

28. Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

29. Now Jacob cooked some stew, and when Esau came in from the open fields, he was famished.
