Genesis 25:26-28
New Century Version
26 When the second baby was born, he was holding on to Esau’s heel, so that baby was named Jacob.[a] Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skilled hunter. He loved to be out in the fields. But Jacob was a quiet man and stayed among the tents. 28 Isaac loved Esau because he hunted the wild animals that Isaac enjoyed eating. But Rebekah loved Jacob.
