The Holy Scripture
Epistle of Barnabas
Chapter XIII
Now let us see whether this people or the first people hath the inheritance, and whether the covenant had reference to us or to them.
Ἴδωμεν δὲ εἰ οὗτος ὁ λαὸς κληρονομεῖ ἡ ὁ πρῶτος, καὶ εἰ ἡ διαθήκη εἰς ἡμᾶς ἢ εἰς ἐκείνους.
Hear then what the scripture saith concerning the people; And Isaac prayed concerning Rebecca his wife, for she was barren. And she conceived. Then Rebecca went out to enquire of the Lord. And the Lord said unto her; Two nations are in thy womb, and two peoples in thy belly, and one people shall vanquish another people, and the greater shall serve the less.
