22 When the children inside her were struggling with each other, she said, “If it’s like this now, what will become of me?”[a] So she went to ask Yahweh.

Two nations will go their separate ways from birth.
One nation will be stronger than the other,
and the older will serve the younger.”
24 When the time came for her to give birth, she had twins.
