Isaac and Rebekah had Esau and Jacob. Twins who fought even in the womb.
God said to her, “Two nations are in your body. Two tribes are now inside you and will be separated. One nation will be stronger than the other. The older son will serve the younger one.”
Esau became a hunter. Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.
