The Lord did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

The Lord chose you because he loved you very much. He didn’t choose you because you had more people than other nations. In fact, you had the smallest number of all.

双胞胎还没有生下来，善恶还没有行出来，为要贯彻神拣选人的旨意，不是凭着人的行为，而是凭着那呼召人的，神就对利百加说：“将来，大的要服侍小的。”正如经上所记：“雅各是我所爱的；以扫是我所恶的。”这样，我们要怎么说呢？难道神有什么不义吗？绝对没有！因他对摩西说：“我要怜悯谁就怜悯谁，要恩待谁就恩待谁。”
