And her days to bear are fulfilled, and lo, twins are in her womb; and the first cometh out all red as a hairy robe, and they call his name Esau; and afterwards hath his brother come out, and his hand is taking hold on Esau's heel, and one calleth his name Jacob; and Isaac is a son of sixty years in her bearing them. And the youths grew, and Esau is a man acquainted with hunting, a man of the field; and Jacob is a plain man, inhabiting tents; and Isaac loveth Esau, for his hunting is in his mouth; and Rebekah is loving Jacob.
