# Rebecca
|
|
|
|
"Rebecca" is the new testament spelling of "Rebekah". (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-names]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-textvariants]])

# our father Isaac ... It is just
|
|
|
|
In your culture you may need to place 9:11 after 9:12 to make them easier to understand. AT: "our father Isaac, it was said to her, 'The older will serve the younger.' Now the children were not yet born ... because of him who calls. It is just"
|
|
|
|
# our father
|
|
|
|
Paul refers to Isaac as "our father" because Isaac was the ancestor of Paul and of the Jewish believers in Rome. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-inclusive]])
|
|

|
# conceived
|
|
|
|
"became pregnant"
|
|
|
|
# for the children were not yet born and had not yet done anything good or bad
|
|
|
|
"before the children were born and before they had done anything, whether good or bad"
|
|
|
|
# so that the purpose of God according to choice might stand
|
|
|
|
"so that what God wants to happen according to His choice will happen"
|
|
|
|
# for the children were not yet born
|
|
|
|
"before the children were born"
|
|
|
|
# had not yet done anything good or bad
|
|
|
|
"not because of anything they had done"
|
|
|
|
# because of him
|
|
|
|
because of God
|
|
|
|
# it was said to her, "The older will serve the younger."
|
|
|
|
"God said to Rebecca, 'The older son will serve the younger son'"
|
|

# Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated
|
|
|
|
The word "hated" is an exaggeration. God loved Jacob much more than he loved Esau. He did not literally hate Esau. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
