Genesis 25:19-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

19. Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham became the father of Isaac;

20. and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

21. Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord answered him and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22. But the children struggled together within her; and she said, "If it is so, why then am I this way?" So she went to inquire of the Lord.

23. The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; And two peoples will be separated from your body; And one people shall be stronger than the other; And the older shall serve the younger."

24. When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
