Genesis Genesis 25:19-34
Two boys crush each other in the womb of Rebekah, an oracle inverts primogeniture before they are born, and a bowl of red stew costs Esau the birthright. The Septuagint of Genesis 25:23 becomes the verbatim five-word election text Paul quotes at Romans 9:12; the closing Hebrew verb of contempt at Genesis 25:34 returns at Obadiah on the nation Esau fathered.
Genesis 9:8-29
Genesis 9:8-29 is the canonical first iteration of the covenant-sign formula and the textbook test case of how the Hebrew lexicon resists training-data overlay. H7198 qeshet is a weapon-bow (76 OT uses, 94.7% war or hunting bow) — God hangs his weapon in the cloud, and the bow-in-cloud functions as the covenant's visible guarantee. The Ham-saw question turns on a lexical distinction the lexicon makes plain (ra'ah ervah vs galah ervah), and the curse at Gen 9:25 falls on Canaan, not Ham — MT, SP, and LXX all agree on the curse-recipient.
