God set rules in place whereby the firstborn would receive the birthright. There are also instances in scripture when He bypassed the firstborn for a later son who received the blessing instead. Examples include David, Joseph, Jacob, and others. God is working out His purpose, and has the prerogative to select whomsoever He will to accomplish His goals.
