That boy she had is Isaac, our ancestor. He married Rebekah and they had twins.
And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;
And not only this, but there was Rebekah also, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;
And not only so, but Rebecca being about to have a child by our father Isaac--
And not only [that], but Rebecca having conceived by one, Isaac our father,
And not only that, but also Rebekah received a promise when she became pregnant by one man, our ancestor Isaac.
Not only so, but Rebecca also conceived by one, by our father Isaac.
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man,

And not onely this, but when Rebecca also had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac,
And not only so, but also Rebekah conceiving of one, our father Isaac,
Howbeit it is not so with this onely, but also whan Rebecca was with childe by one (namely by oure father Isaac)
this appears too from the case of Rebecca, who conceived twins by our father Isaac.
And that's not the only time. To Rebecca, also, a promise was made that took priority over genetics. When she became pregnant by our one-of-a-kind ancestor, Isaac, and her babies were still innocent in the womb—incapable of good or bad—she received a special assurance from God. What God did in this case made it perfectly plain that his purpose is not a hit-or-miss thing dependent on what we do or don't do, but a sure thing determined by his decision, flowing steadily from his initiative. God told Rebecca, "The firstborn of your twins will take second place." Later that was turned into a stark epigram: "I loved Jacob; I hated Esau."
And not only that, but this too: Rebekah conceived twin sons by one man [under the same circumstances], by our father Isaac;
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac—
And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
Nether was it so wt her only: but also when Rebecca was with chylde by one I meane by oure father Isaac
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac-
And not only [this]; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, [even] by our father Isaac,
And not only [so], but also Rebecca, having conceived by one -- Isaac our father --
And that is not all. Rebekah's sons had the same father, our father Isaac.
Not only that, but when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our ancestor Isaac—
Not only that, but Rebecca's children were conceived by one man, our father Isaac.
Don't forget what happened to the twin sons of Isaac and Rebekah.
And even more to the point is the case of Rivkah; for both her children were conceived in a single act with Yitz'chak, our father;
And not only so, but also when Rebekah had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac,
Neither he onely felt this, but also Rebecca when shee had conceiued by one, euen by our father Isaac.
And not only this; but Rebecca also, even though she had relations with one only, our father Isaac;
Not only so, but Rivka also conceived by one, by our father Yitzchak.
Not only that, but Rebecca became pregnant by our ancestor Isaac.Genesis 25:21;">[xr]
And not this only, but also Raphka when with one, our father Ishok, she had association,
Nor this only; but Rebecca also, when she had cohabited with one [fn] , our father Isaac,
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even by our father Isaac
Not only this, but there was Rebecca also. Rebecca gave birth to two sons at the same time. Both of them were sons of Isaac.
And not only so; but Rebecca also having conceived by one, even by our father Isaac—
Nor is that all; something similar happened to Rebecca when she had conceived children by one husband, our ancestor Isaac.

And not only she. But when Rebecca also had conceived at once of Isaac our father.
And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
And not only this, but also when Rebecca conceived children by one man, Isaac our father—
Not only this, but also Rebecca was with chylde by one [euen] by our father Isaac.
And that is not all. Rebecca also had sons, and they had the same father. He is our father Isaac.
And not only that, but there was also Rebekah, when she had conceived twins by one man, our father Isaac;
And this is not all. For Rebecca's two sons had the same father, our ancestor Isaac.
And not oneli sche, but also Rebecca hadde twey sones of o liggyng bi of Ysaac, oure fadir.

Cross-References
But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and livestock with him in the boat. He sent a wind to blow across the earth, and the floodwaters began to recede.
Then God blessed Noah and his sons and told them, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth.
"And I will require the blood of anyone who takes another person's life. If a wild animal kills a person, it must die. And anyone who murders a fellow human must die.
If anyone takes a human life, that person's life will also be taken by human hands. For God made human beings in his own image.
and I will remember my covenant with you and with all living creatures. Never again will the floodwaters destroy all life.
When I see the rainbow in the clouds, I will remember the eternal covenant between God and every living creature on earth."
The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on all his creation.
But Nineveh has more than 120,000 people living in spiritual darkness, not to mention all the animals. Shouldn't I feel sorry for such a great city?"
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And not only this,.... This instance of Ishmael and Isaac, is not the only one, proving that Abraham's natural seed, the children of the flesh, are not all children, the children of God:
but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac, "it was said unto her", Romans 9:12, being in a parenthesis, "the elder shall serve the younger". The apostle was aware, that the Jews would be ready to say, that the instance of Ishmael and Isaac was not a pertinent one; since Ishmael was not born of Sarah, the lawful wife of Abraham, but of a bondwoman, which was the reason his rejection, when Isaac was the son of promise, by the lawful wife, and that they were children of Abraham in the line of Isaac, and so children of the promise, as he was: wherefore he proceeds to mention the case of Jacob and Esau, which was not liable to any such exception; seeing they not only had the same father, but the same mother, Isaac's lawful wife; they were conceived by Rebecca at once, were in the same womb together, were twins, and if any had the preference and advantage, Esau had it, being born first; and yet a difference was made between these two by God himself, and which was notified by him to the mother of them, before either were born.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And not only this - Not only is the principle of making a distinction among the natural descendants of Abraham thus settled by the promise, but it is still further seen and illustrated in the birth of the two sons of Isaac. He had shown that the principle of thus making a distinction among the posterity of Abraham was recognised in the original promise, thus proving that all the descendants of Abraham were not of course to be saved; and he now proceeds to show that the principle was recognised in the case of his posterity in the family of Isaac. And he shows that it is not according to any natural principles that the selection was made; that he not only made a distinction between Jacob and Esau, but that he did it according to his good pleasure, choosing the younger to be the object of his favor, and rejecting the older, who, according to the custom of the times, was supposed to be entitled to special honor and rights. And in order to prove that this was done according to his own pleasure, he shows that the distinction was made before they were born; before they had formed any character; and, consequently, in such a way that it could not be pretended that it was in consequence of any works which they had performed.
But when Rebecca - The wife of Isaac; see Genesis 25:21, Genesis 25:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Romans 9:10. And not only this — A Jew might object: "Ishmael was rejected, not by the sovereign will of God, but because he was the son of the handmaid, or bond-woman, and therefore unworthy to be the peculiar seed; but observe, this was not the only limitation of the seed of Abraham with regard to inheriting the promise, for when Rebecca was with child by that one person of Abraham's issue to whom the promise was made, namely, our father Isaac, she went to inquire of the Lord, Genesis 25:22, Genesis 25:23 : And the Lord said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of PEOPLE shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one PEOPLE shall be stronger than the other PEOPLE; and the elder shall serve the younger. That is, the posterity of the younger shall be a nation much more prosperous and happy than the posterity of the elder.
