Genesis 25:24-26
Wycliffe Bible
24 Then the time of child-bearing came, and lo! two children were found in her womb.
25 He that went out first was red, and all rough in the manner of a skin; and his name was called Esau.
26 Anon the other went out (And at once the other went out), and held with his hand the heel of his brother; and therefore he called him Jacob[a]. (And) Isaac was sixty years eld, when the little children were born.
