Genesis 25:21-30

21And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And athe Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?”
Or  why do I live?
So she went cto inquire of the Lord.
23And the Lord said to her,

dTwo nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you
Or  from birth
shall be divided;
fthe one shall be stronger than the other,
gthe older shall serve the younger.”
24When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. 25The first came out red, hall his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. 26Afterward his brother came out with ihis hand holding Esau’s heel, so jhis name was called Jacob.
 Jacob means He takes by the heel, or He cheats
Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27When the boys grew up, Esau was la skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, mdwelling in tents. 28Isaac loved Esau because nhe ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

Esau Sells His Birthright

29Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. 30And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore his name was called Edom.
 Edom sounds like the Hebrew for  red
)
