And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham begot Isaac.

And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah for a wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
21
And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22
And the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it be so, why am I thus?" And she went to inquire of the LORD.
23
And the LORD said unto her, "Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy body; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people, and the elder shall serve the younger."
24
And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25
And the first came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26
And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob. And Isaac was threescore years old when she bore them.
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
And Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his venison; but Rebekah loved Jacob.
