Genesis 25:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ When the time came, ·Rebekah gave birth to twins [^Lthere were twins in her womb]. ²⁵ The first baby ·was born [^Lcame out] red. Since his skin was like a hairy robe, he was named Esau [^Csounds like “hairy” in Hebrew]. ²⁶ When ·the second baby [^Lhis brother] ·was born [^Lcame out], ·he [^Lhis hand] was ·holding on to [gripping; grabbing] Esau’s heel, so that baby was named Jacob [^Csounds like Hebrew for “heel”; grabbing a heel is a Hebrew idiom for tricking someone]. Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
