9:12 ¹  it was said to her, “The older will serve the younger,” ²  9:13 just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.” ³ 

[9:12]  ¹ sn Many translations place this verse division before the phrase “not by works but by his calling” (NA²⁷/UBS⁴, NIV, NRSV, NLT, NAB). Other translations place this verse division in the same place that the translation above does (NASB, KJV, NKJV, ASV, RSV). The translation has followed the latter to avoid breaking the parenthetical statement.

[9:12]  ² sn A quotation from Gen 25:23.

[9:13]  ³ sn A quotation from Mal 1:2-3.
