Genesis 25:24-29

English Standard Version

²⁴ When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. ²⁵ The first came out red, ^(A)all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. ²⁶ Afterward his brother came out with ^(B)his hand holding Esau's heel, so ^(C)his name was called Jacob.^[a] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

²⁷ When the boys grew up, Esau was ^(D)a skillful hunter, a man of the field, while Jacob was a quiet man, ^(E)dwelling in tents. ²⁸ Isaac loved Esau because ^(F)he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
