Let us see whether this people or the first people is the heir, and whether the covenant is for us or for them.
2Hear then what the scripture says concerning the people.
3And Isaac prayed concerning Rebecca his wife because she was barren, and she conceived.
4And then Rebecca went to inquire of the Lord.
5And the Lord said to her: Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples in your bowels.
6And one people shall overcome the other, and the greater shall serve the lesser.
7You must understand who Isaac is and who Rebecca is.
8And concerning which he has shown that this people is greater than that.
