Isaac and Rebekah had been married for almost 20 years and they still had no children. See how you translated barren in Gen 11:30. Also, it may be clearer to change the order of the clauses in this sentence to put them in the order in which they happened. Do what is best in your language. Alternate translation: “Isaac prayed earnestly to Yahweh for his wife to have children because she was barren” or “But for many years Rebekah was not able to get pregnant, so Isaac prayed that Yahweh would give her children.”
