Genesis 25:22-24
International Standard Version
22 But when the infants[a] kept on wrestling each other inside her womb,[b] she asked herself, “Why is this happening?”[c] So she asked the Lord for an explanation.[d]
23 “Two nations[e] are in your womb,” the Lord responded, “and two separate people will emerge. One people will be the stronger, and the older one will serve the younger.”
24 Sure enough, when her due date arrived, she delivered twin sons.[f]
