Genesis 25:25-27
International Standard Version
25 The first son came out reddish—his entire body was covered with hair—so they named him Esau.[a] 26 After that, his brother came out with his hand clutching Esau’s heel, so they named him Jacob.[b] Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.
27 As the boys were growing up, Esau became skilled at hunting and was a man of the outdoors, but Jacob was the quiet type who tended to stay indoors.
