> Hyrcanus took also Dora, and Marissa, cities of Idumea; and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that countrey, if they would circumcise their genitals, and make use of the laws of the Jews. And they were so desirous of living in the countrey of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision, (28) and of the rest of the Jewish ways of living. At which time therefore this befel them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews.
Josephus book 13
> IX 1 I speak the truth among the **Anointed**, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in the Holy Spirit, 2 that grief for me is great, and distress incessant in my heart, 3 for I have prayed that I myself would be accursed from the Anointed for the brethren, **my kinsmen in regards to the flesh**; 4 those who are **Israelites, whose is the position of sons, and the honor, and the covenants, and the legislation, and the service, and the promises;** 5 whose are the fathers; and of whom are the Anointed **in regards to the flesh**, being over all blessed of Yahweh for the ages. Truly. 6 Not, however, that the word of Yahweh has failed; **since not all those who are from Israel are those of Israel**: 7 nor because they are offspring of Abraham all children: but, **“In Isaac will your offspring be called.”** 8 That is to say, **the children of the flesh, these are not children of Yahweh**, but the **children of the promise are counted as offspring.** 9 Indeed this word of promise: “At the appointed time I will come, and there will be a son for Sarah.” 10 And not only, but Rebekka also had conceived from one, by Isaak our father. 11 Then not yet having been born, nor having performed any good or evil, (that the purpose of Yahweh concerning the chosen endures, not from rituals, but from the calling,) 12 to her it was said, “the elder will serve the younger:” 13 just as it is written, **“Jakob I love, and Esau I hated.”**

The important part which agrees with Josephus, Idumeans being from Esau and not Jacob, children of the flesh vs of the promise: "6 Not, however, that the word of Yahweh has failed; **since not all those who are from Israel are those of Israel**"
