Genesis 25:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² But the children struggled in her womb: and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.

²³ And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.

²⁴ And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
