24 ¶ Therefore when her time of deliverance was fulfilled, behold, twins were in her womb.
25 So he that came out first was red, and he was all over as rough as a garment, and they called his name Esau.
26 (A)And afterward came his brother out, and his hand held Esau by the heel, therefore his name was called Jacob. Now Isaac was threescore years old when Rebekah bare them.
