The LORD said to Rebekah, ‘The two children who are in your body will become two separate nations of people. One group will be stronger than the other. The older son will become a servant to the younger son.’

He said to Jacob ‘Quick, let me have some of that red food! I am very hungry.’ (That is why Esau was also called Edom.)

Rebekah could not have children. So Isaac prayed to the LORD for Rebekah. The LORD answered Isaac's prayer. Isaac's wife, Rebekah, became pregnant.

Esau said, ‘Look, I am so hungry that I will die. Then my birthright will not help me at all!’ Jacob said, ‘First, make a serious promise to me.’ So Esau promised to sell his birthright to Jacob.

After this, his brother came out. His hand was holding the back of Esau's foot. They called him Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

Isaac liked to eat the meat from the wild animals that Esau killed. So he loved Esau. But Rebekah loved Jacob.
