Thematic Bible: Rebecca, concerning her pains in pregnancy

and the children struggle together within her, and she saith, 'If it is right -- why am I thus?' and she goeth to seek Jehovah. And Jehovah saith to her, 'Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples from thy bowels are parted; and the one people than the other people is stronger; and the elder doth serve the younger.'
