T4T [9:11–12] Before the twins, Jacob and Esau, were born, when neither one had yet done anything good or bad, God said to Rebecca about the twins she was to bear, “The older one shall later serve the younger one, contrary to normal custom.” God said this in order that we might clearly understand that what he purposed for people was according to what he himself determined. That is, people’s eternal destiny does not depend on what they do. Instead, their destiny depends on God, the one who chooses them.

WEB (US) +7 it was said to her, “The elder will serve the younger.”

OLO [9:10–13] Og árin liðu og þessi sonur, Ísak, óx og þegar hann var orðinn fullorðinn, giftist hann konu sem hét Rebekka. Þegar Rebekka eignaðist tvíbura, sagði Guð henni að Esaú, barnið sem fæddist fyrst, myndi verða þjónn Jakobs, tvíburabróður síns. Gamla testamentið lýsir þessu svo: „Jakob mun ég blessa en ekki Esaú.“ Þetta sagði Guð áður en drengirnir fæddust, áður en þeir höfðu tækifæri til að gera gott eða illt. Af þessu má sjá að Guð var að framkvæma fyrirætlun sína, sem hann hafði ákveðið löngu áður, en hann var ekki að launa drengjunum fyrir neitt, hvorki gott né illt.
