21 And Isaac besought our Lord for his wife, because she was barren: who heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.📜💬📚
22 But the little ones struggled in her womb; who said: If it should be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult our Lord.📜💬📚
23 Who answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.📜💬📚
24 Now her time was come to be delivered, and behold twins were found in her womb.📜💬📚
25 He that came forth first, was red, and all hairy in manner of a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's plant in his hand: and therefore he called him Jacob.📜💬📚
