26 Afterward his brother came out with (A)his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so (B)he was named [a]Jacob; and Isaac was (C)sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
27 When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a [b]civilized man, (D)living in tents. 28 Now Isaac loved Esau because [c]he had (E)a taste for game; (F)but Rebekah loved Jacob.
