Genesis 25:21
Verse 21 of 34. The 25th of 50 chapters in Genesis, in The Law.
17These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up his spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.
18They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.
19This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.
20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.
21Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. The LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22The children struggled together within her. She said, “If it is like this, why do I live?” She went to inquire of the LORD.
23The LORD said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger.”
24When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.
