Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
10 Listen, O daughter, give attention and incline your ear:
(A)Forget your people and your father’s house;
11 Then the King will desire your beauty.
Because He is your (B)Lord, (C)bow down to Him.
12 The daughter of (D)Tyre will come with a present;
The (E)rich among the people will seek your favor.
13 The King’s daughter is all glorious within her chamber;
Her clothing is (F)interwoven with gold.
14 She will be (G)led to the King (H)in embroidered work;
The (I)virgins, her companions who follow her,
Will be brought to You.
15 They will be led forth with gladness and rejoicing;
They will enter into the King’s palace.
The Generations of Isaac
19 Now these are (A)the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham [a]became the father of Isaac; 20 and Isaac was forty years old when he took (B)Rebekah, the (C)daughter of Bethuel the [b]Aramean of Paddan-aram, the (D)sister of Laban the [c]Aramean, to be his wife. 21 And Isaac entreated Yahweh on behalf of his wife because she was barren; and (E)Yahweh [d]was moved by his entreaty. So Rebekah his wife (F)conceived. 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why then am I this way?” So she went to (G)inquire of Yahweh. 23 And Yahweh said to her,
“(H)Two nations are in your womb;
(I)And two peoples will be separated from your body;
And one people shall be stronger than the other;
And (J)the older shall serve the younger.”
24 And her days to give birth were fulfilled, and behold, there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came forth red, (K)all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came forth with (L)his hand holding on to Esau’s heel, so (M)his name was called [e]Jacob; and Isaac was (N)sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
Esau Sells His Birthright
27 And the boys grew up; Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a [f]peaceful man, [g](O)living in tents.
Released from the Law
7 Or do you not know, (A)brothers—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law is master over a person as long as he lives? 2 For (B)the married woman has been bound by law to her [a]husband while he is living, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law [b]concerning the husband. 3 So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
4 So, my brothers, you also were (C)made to die (D)to the Law (E)through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For while we were (F)in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were (G)aroused by the Law, were at work (H)in our members to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we have been (I)released from the Law, having (J)died to that by which we were constrained, so that we serve in (K)newness of [c](L)the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
