Genesis 25:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²²The sons fought with each other in the womb, and she exclaimed, “If this is so, why go on living?” She went to consult the Lord. ²³The Lord answered her,

“Two nations are in your womb,
and two peoples born of you shall be divided.
One shall be stronger than the other,
and the older shall serve the younger.”

²⁴When the time came for her to give birth, there were twins in her womb.
