Isaac’s wife,Rebecca,was barren for 19 years!

How can that be confirmed?

Isaac married her at the age of 40:

“Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah daughter of Bethuel the Aramean”-Gen 25:20

Isaac had to seek the face of God concerning his wife because she was barren:

“And Isaac prayed to the LORD for his wife, because she was barren. And the LORD granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived…”-Gen 25:22a

So,Rebecca gave birth to her twins(Esau and Jacob) when Isaac was 60 years old:

“Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.”-Gen 25:26

While Rebecca was pregnant after his husband prayed and she conceived,there was a challenge!
