## Genesis 25:21-26 in Context (Verses 18–29 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/genesis/25/18) And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that *is* before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: *and* he died in the presence of all his brethren.*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/genesis/25/19) ¶ And these *are* the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begat Isaac:
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/25/20) And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan-aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/25/21) And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she *was* barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/25/22) And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If *it be* so, why *am* I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/25/23) And the LORD said unto her, Two nations *are* in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and *the one* people shall be stronger than *the other* people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

 [25 ](/kjv/genesis/25/25) And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/genesis/25/26) And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac *was* threescore years old when she bare them.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/genesis/25/27) And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob *was* a plain man, dwelling in tents.
 
 [28 ](/kjv/genesis/25/28) And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of *his* venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.*
 
 [29 ](/kjv/genesis/25/29) ¶ And Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he *was* faint:
