These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: e Abraham fathered Isaac,

22
The children struggled together within her, and she said, "If it is thus, why is this happening to me?" So she went j to inquire of the Lord.
23
And the Lord said to her,
k "Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples from within you shall be divided;
l the one shall be stronger than the other,
m the older shall serve the younger."
24
When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb.

26
