24 Therefore when the days of her deliverance was come, behold twins were in her womb. 25 So he that came out first was read, & he was all over as a rough garment, and they called his name Esau. 26 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 Rebecca bare them. 27 And the boys grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and was a man of labour: but Jacob was a simple man, and dwelled in tents. 28 And Isaac loved Esau, for Venison was his meat, but Rebecca loved Jacob.
