Through every period of the history of Jacob's posterity, they could not deny that God had remarkably appeared on their behalf; but he had rendered the heritage of Esau's descendants, by wars and various other means, barren and waste forever. Deuteronomy 7:6-8, Deuteronomy 10:15, Deuteronomy 32:8-14; Isaiah 41:8-9, Isaiah 43:4; Jeremiah 31:3; Romans 11:28-29
