Genesis 25:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 25:25

23 And the Lord said to her:
^a“Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
One people shall be stronger than ^bthe other,
^cAnd the older shall serve the younger.”

24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.

25 And the first came out red. He was ^alike a hairy garment all over; so they called his name¹ Esau.

26 Afterward his brother came out, and ^ahis hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so ^bhis name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 So the boys grew. And Esau was ^aa skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was ^ba mild man, ^cdwelling in tents.

28 And Isaac loved Esau because he ^aate of his game, ^bbut Rebekah loved Jacob.
