17And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.
18And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.
19Now these are the generations of Abraham's son Isaac:
20Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramaean of Paddan-aram, and the sister of Laban the Aramaean, to be his wife.
21Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.
22And the children were fighting together inside her, and she said, If it is to be so, why am I like this? So she went to put her question to the Lord.
23And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.
