Rebecca, pregnant, in prayer

21 And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive. 22 But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord. 23 And he answering, said: Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb, and one people shall overcome the other, and the elder shall serve the younger.
