Genesis 25:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 So he that came out first was red, and he was all over as rough as a garment, and they called his name Esau.
26 (A)And afterward came his brother out, and his hand held Esau by the heel, therefore his name was called Jacob. Now Isaac was threescore years old when Rebekah bare them.
27 And the boys grew, and Esau was a cunning hunter, and [a]lived in the fields: but Jacob was a [b]plain man, and dwelt in tents.
