Romans 9:12

Romans 9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. It was said to Rebecca, "Two nations are in thy womb, . . . one people shall be stronger than the other, and the elder (people) shall serve the younger" (Genesis 25:23). Esau never served Jacob, but the Edomites, descended from Jacob, served the Israelites (2 Samuel 8:14 1Ch 18:13). The election here is that of a race.
