Genesis 25:26-28
American Standard Version
26 And after that came forth his brother, and his hand had hold on Esau’s heel; and his name was called [a]Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a [b]quiet man, dwelling in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: and Rebekah loved Jacob.
