Who this is
Rebecca is the Greek form of Rebekah, Isaac's wife and the mother of Jacob and Esau. Paul cites her in Romans 9:10 as proof that God's electing purpose does not depend on human works or birth order, since she received the oracle that "the older will serve the younger" while both sons were still unborn.
