No mention is made of riches, or honours, or natural accomplishments, but merely of what related to God. - Fuller.Reciprocal21:21 - a wife; 24:8 - only; 24:27 - of my; 24:38 - But; 31:53 - God of Abraham; Deuteronomy 26:5 - A Syrian; 2 Chronicles 24:3 - took for him; Proverbs 17:2 - wise; Jeremiah 29:6 - take wives

From the word being in the singular number, it is not likely to have been an ear-ring, or a "jewel for the forehead," but "a jewel for the nose, a nose-ring," which is in use throughout Arabia and Persia, particularly among young women. It is very properly translated επιρρινον, "an ornament for the nose," by Symmachus; and Sir John Chardin informs us, that "it is a custom in almost all the East, for the women to wear rings in their noses, in the left nostril, which is bored low down in the middle. These rings are of gold, and have commonly two pearls and one ruby between, placed in the ring. I never saw a girl or young woman in Arabia or in all Persia, who did not wear a ring after this manner in her nostril."of halfGenesis 23:15, 23:16 braceletsThe word rendered "bracelet," from a root which signifies "to join or couple together," may imply whatever may clasp round the arms and legs; for rings and ornaments are worn round both by females in India and Persia. The small part of the leg, and the whole arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, are generally decorated in this way. As these were given to Rebekah for "her hands," it sufficiently distinguishes them from similar ornaments for the ankles.Reciprocal24:47 - I put; Judges 8:24 - give me; Job 28:1 - the silver; 42:11 - every man; Song of Songs 1:10 - thy cheeks

was a younger brother. This is possible; but as Dr. A. Clarke remarks, the mother's house might be mentioned were even the father alive; for in Asiatic countries, the women have apartments entirely separate from those of the men, in which their little children and grown-up daughters reside with them. This was probably the case here; though, from the whole narrative, it is very probable that Bethuel was dead, as the whole business appears to be conducted by Rebekah's brothers.Reciprocal29:12 - and she

what the sentiments of the ancients were relative to an oath. They believed that they were bound precisely by what was spoken, and had no liberty to interpret the intentions of those by whom the oath was made.

that the Moors of that country are divided into tribes like the Arabians, and like them dwell in tents, formed into itinerant villages; that "these wanderers farm lands of the inhabitants of the towns, sow and cultivate them, paying their rent with the produce, such as fruits, corn, wax, etc. They are very skilful in choosing the most advantageous soils for every season, and very careful to avoid the Turkish troops, the violence of the one little suiting the simplicity of the other."

Clarke, which Isaac was to confer on his son, was a species of divine right, and must be communicated with appropriate ceremonies. As eating and drinking were used among the Asiatics on almost all religious occasions, and especially in making and confirming covenants, it is reasonable to suppose, that something of this kind was essentially necessary on this occasion; and that Isaac could not convey the right, till he had eaten of the meat provided for the purpose by him who was to receive the blessing.that myGenesis 27:7, 27:23, 27:25, 27:27, 14:19, 24:60, 28:3, 48:9, 48:15-20, 49:28; Leviticus 9:22, 9:23; Deuteronomy 33:1-29; Joshua 14:13, 22:6; Luke 2:34, 24:51; Habakkuk 3:1ReciprocalGenesis 25:28 - he did eat of his venison; 27:9 - savoury; 27:14 - mother; 27:19 - that thy; 27:31 - eat; 28:1 - blessed; Luke 24:50 - he lifted; John 1:13 - nor of the will of the Verse 6ReciprocalGenesis 25:28 - Rebekah Verse 7before theDeuteronomy 33:1; Joshua 6:26; 1 Samuel 24:19ReciprocalGenesis 27:4 - that my; 27:14 - mother Verse 8Genesis 27:13, 25:23; Acts 4:19, 5:29; Ephesians 6:1ReciprocalGenesis 27:43 - obey; Mark 6:24 - said Verse 9twoJudges 13:15; 1 Samuel 16:20 savouryMatammim, from taam, to taste or relish: how dressed is uncertain, but its name declares it nature.

Verse 15goodly raimentHeb. desirable, Genesis 27:27
The Septuagint translates it "a goodly robe," which was a long garment that great men used to wear - Luke 20:46; 15:22. The priest afterwards in the law had "holy garments" to minister in - Exodus 28:2-4. Whether the first-born before the law had such to minister in is not certain: for, had they been common garments, why did not Esau himself or his wives keep them? But being, in likelihood, holy robes, received from their ancestors, the mother of the family kept them in sweet chests, from moths and the like; whereupon it is said - Genesis 27:27

Verse 16skinsTravellers inform us, that the Eastern goats have long, fine, and beautiful hair, of the most delicate silky softness; indeed the animals generally in those hot countries are not covered with so thick a coat of hair as they are in more northerly regions; so that Isaac might easily be deceived, when his eyes were dim, and his feeling no less impaired than his sight.

Scarcely any two of the innumerable millions are exactly alike in either, and yet the difference cannot be defined or described! The power, wisdom, and kindness of our Creator should be admired and adored in this remarkable circumstance; for they are very visible. This description of Jacob is not unaptly accommodated to the character of a hypocrite: his voice, his language, is that of a Christian; his hands, or conduct, that of an ungodly man, but the judgment will proceed from God, the Judge of all, at the last day, as in the present case, not by the voice, but by the hands.
