Isaac and blessed him. However Isaac's wife Rebekah had no children for nineteen years. Isaac prayed earnestly for a child,and God answered his prayer.
Twin boy,Esau and Jacob,were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Esau grew up to be a hunter. he was rough and covered with hair. Jacob was quiet and thoughtful. He stayed at home and took care of his father's flocks. Isaac loved Esau more than Jacob,because he liked the deer meat that Esau brought him. But Rebekah loved Jacob more.
