21. And Yitzchak davened to Hashem on behalf of his isha, because she was barren; and Hashem was entreated of him, and Rivkah his isha conceived.
22. And the banim struggled jostling within her; and she said, If it be well, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Hashem.
23. And Hashem said unto her, Two goyim (nations) are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from within thee; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the older shall serve the younger.
24. And when her days were fulfilled to be delivered, hinei, there were twins in her womb.
25. And the first came out admoni (red) all over like a hairy garment; and they called shmo Esav.
26. And after that came out his brother, and his yad was grasping on akev Esav; and shmo was called Ya'akov; and Yitzchak was threescore shanah when she bore them.
27. And the nearim grew: and Esav was a skilled hunter, an ish sadeh; and Ya'akov was an ish tam (quiet man), dwelling in ohalim.
28. And Yitzchak loved Esav, because he did eat of his wild game; but Rivkah loved Ya'akov.
