21 And Isaac beseeched the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. And he heard him, and he gave conception to Rebekah.
22 But the little ones struggled in her womb. So she said, 'If it was to be so with me, what need was there to conceive?' And she went to consult the Lord.
23 And responding, he said, 'Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be divided out of your womb, and one people will overcome the other people, and the elder will serve the younger.'
24 Now the time had arrived to give birth, and behold, twins were discovered in her womb.
