Expanded Bible

²⁰ When Isaac was forty years old, he ·married [^Ltook as a wife] Rebekah [ch. 24], ·who came from northwestern Mesopotamia [^Lthe Aramean from Paddan-aram]. She was Bethuel’s daughter and the sister of Laban the Aramean. ²¹ Isaac’s wife ·could not have children [was barren], so Isaac ·prayed to [entreated; interceded with] the Lord for her. The Lord heard Isaac’s prayer, and Rebekah ·became pregnant [conceived].

²² While she was pregnant, the ·babies [^Lchildren] struggled inside her. She asked, “·Why is this happening to me [^LIf thus, why this, I—; ^Cthe Hebrew is uncertain]?” Then she went to ·get an answer from [^Lseek; inquire of] the Lord.
