Genesis 25:21–30

²¹And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated of him, and Rebecca his wife conceived. ²²And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to inquire of Jehovah. ²³And Jehovah said to her, Two nations are in thy womb, And two peoples shall be separated from thy bowels; And one people shall be stronger than the other people, And the elder shall serve the younger. ²⁴And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵And the first came out red—all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. ²⁶And after that came his brother out; and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when they were born. ²⁷And the boys grew, and Esau became a man skilled in hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob was a homely man, dwelling in tents. ²⁸And Isaac loved Esau, because venison was to his taste; and Rebecca loved Jacob.

²⁹And Jacob had cooked a dish; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. ³⁰And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with the red—the red thing there, for I am faint. Therefore was his name called Edom.
