Genesis 25:21-26
21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was barren. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became
pregnant.
22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" So she went to enquire of the Lord
.
23 The Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be
stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."
24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.
25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau.
26 After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Easu's heel; so he was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.

For Thought
No matter how effecitve and important a man may be, his time and work on this earth are limited. How gratifying, therefor, to know that
though God buries His workman, He always carries on His work.
