Here is the thing we can speculate as to why God did this ,but God is soverign and He chooses whom he wants to.
The thing I get of this ,is that God has a purpose and it will be fulfilled.
When I look around at the world and see the mess it is in,one wonders where is God in all of this,but I am reminded that His purpose according to His choosing shall stand,not maybe will but will stand the purpose of God will stand.
Thats it Bro. We minimize the sovereignty of God to do as he pleases. He has mercy on whom he will and on whom he will he hardeneth.
Yeah, that's the thing. God does whatever He wants to. He can favor one twin over the other, for any reason He wants to, or for no reason at all, and we just accept it. He can kill millions of children, and we can't question it. God can do anything He wants!
Well, except for one thing. There is one thing you guys won't let Him do. You guys are always saying "God cannot lie". If He, since He is "sovereign", can kill, or command His followers to kill, or to take little girls captive, or make horrible laws like "if you child rebels, kill him", then why can't we also say that He could lie if He wanted to?
Someone on AFF has even said that God might not send a lost person to hell, that He is sovereign, He can do what He wants. But that same person says that he is absolutely sure that he will not go to hell. God's sovereignty can go only so far, apparently.

Hebrews 13:23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty
Jacob loved and respected his birthright. Esau sold it for a mere bowl of food.
And God knew (foreknew) that Jacob and Esau would behave in such a way. Based upon His foreknowledge, God loved and hated before the twins were even born.
There is absolutely NO unrighteousness nor partiality with God.

I need to study this out but if I understand this correctly but I understand Edom was a descendant of Esau,see Malachi 1 is there is more to this than just on the surface stuff.
