Genesis 25:21-23
King James Version
21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; (A)and the Lord granted his plea, (B)and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” (C)So she went to inquire of the Lord.

(D)“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than (E)the other,
(F)And the older shall serve the younger.”
