And these are the generations of Isaac, Abrahams sonne: Abraham begate Isaac.

And Isaac was fortie yeeres old when hee tooke Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.

And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceiued.

And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? and shee went to enquire of the LORD.

And the LORD said vnto her, Two nations are in thy wombe, and two maner of people shall be separated from thy bowels: and the one people shalbe stronger then the other people: and the elder shall serue the yonger.

And when her dayes to be deliuered were fulfilled, behold, there were twinnes in her wombe.

And the first came out red, all ouer like an hairy garment: and they called his name, Esau.

And after that came his brother out, and his hand tooke holde on Esaus heele; and his name was called Iacob: and Isaac was threescore yeres old, when shee bare them.
