6. However, it is not as though the word of Elohim has failed. For they are not all Yisra’ĕl who are of Yisra’ĕl,
7. neither are they all children because they are the seed of Aḇraham, but, “In Yitsḥaq your seed shall be called.”
8. That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of Elohim, but the children of the promise are reckoned as the seed.
9. For this is the word of promise, “At this time I shall come and Sarah shall have a son.”
10. And not only so, but Riḇqah having conceived by one, our father Yitsḥaq.
11. Yet, before they were born or had done any good or evil – in order that the purpose of Elohim, according to choice, might stand, not of works but of Him who calls –
12. it was said to her, “The greater shall serve the lesser,”
13. as it has been written, “Ya‛aqoḇ I have loved, but Ěsaw I have hated.”
14. What, then, shall we say? Is there unrighteousness with Elohim? Let it not be!
15. For He says to Mosheh, “I shall favour whomever I favour, and I shall have compassion on whomever I have compassion.”
