Genesis 25:19-26 for 4th-5th grade children
| 19 This is [about] the descendents of Yitzchak, the son of Avraham. Avraham had Yitzchak, 20 and when Yitzchak was 40 years old, he took Rivkah (who was the daughter of B’tuel, an Aramean from Padan-Aram, and the sister of Lavan the Aramean) to be his wife. 21 And Yitzchak begged Adonai about his wife, because she could not have children. And Adonai gave him what he begged for. And Rivkah, his wife, became pregnant. 22 The babies were crushing each other inside of her. She said, “Why must I suffer this?” And she went to ask Adonai. 23 Adonai said to her, Two nations are in your belly! There are two peoples inside of you, who will spread apart. One will be stronger than the other, but the greater one will serve the smaller one. 24 The day came for her to give birth, and hineh! There were twins in her belly. 25 The first one came out reddish, and all hairy, like he was wearing a fur cape. And they called his shem Esav. 26 And after that, his brother came out, and his hand was grabbing onto Esav’s akev (his heel), so he called his shem, Ya’akov. Yitzchak was 60 years old when they were born. |
