1. Mosebok 25,26

EsauIsaacIsrael

24 Da tiden kom for henne til å føde, fødte hun tvillinger.

25 Den første kom ut rød, over det hele som et hårete plagg; og de kalte ham Esau.

Deretter kom hans bror ut, med hånden som grep Esaus hæl; så han ble kalt Jakob. Isak var seksti år gammel da hun fødte dem.

27 Guttene vokste opp, og Esau ble en dyktig jeger, en mann av det åpne landet, mens Jakob var en rolig mann, som bodde i telt.

28 Isak elsket Esau fordi han likte å spise hans vilt, men Rebekka elsket Jakob.
