Genesis 25:24-26
Lexham English Bible
24 And when her days to give birth were completed,[a] then—behold—twins were in her womb. 25 And the first came out red, all his body[b] was like a hairy coat, so they called his name Esau. 26 And afterward his brother came out, and his hand grasped the heel of Esau, so his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old[c] at their birth.
