Genesis 25:21 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 25:21

19 This is the ^agenealogy of Isaac, Abraham’s son. ^bAbraham begot Isaac.

20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, ^athe daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, ^bthe sister of Laban the Syrian.

21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; ^aand the Lord granted his plea, ^band Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” ^aSo she went to inquire of the Lord.

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.
