Gênesis 27:3-4 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 27:1-5

Here is, I. Isaac's design to make his will, and to declare Esau his heir. The promise of the Messiah and the land of Canaan was a great trust, first committed to Abraham, inclusive and typical of spiritual and eternal blessings; this, by divine direction, he transmitted to Isaac. Isaac, being now old, and not knowing, or not understanding, or not duly considering, the divine oracle concerning his two sons, that the elder should serve the younger, resolves to entail all the honour and power... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:3

Now therefore, take, I pray thee, thy weapons ,.... Or "thy vessels", or "instruments" F14 כליך "instrumenta tua", Pagninus, Montanus, Tigurine version, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator; "vasa tua", Vatablus. , his instruments of hunting: as thy quiver and thy bow ; the former is the vessel or instrument, in which arrows were put and carried, and has its name in the Hebrew language from its being hung at the girdle, though another word is more commonly used for a quiver; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:4

And make me savoury meat, such as I love ,.... For, though he had lost his sight, he had not lost his taste, nor his appetite for savoury food: and bring it to me, that I may eat ; this, was enjoined to make trial of his filial affection and duty to him, before he blessed him: that my soul may bless thee before I die ; not only that he might do it with cheerfulness and vivacity, having eaten a comfortable meal, and being refreshed with it, but that having had proof of his son's... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:3

Thy weapons - The original word כלי keley signifies vessels and instruments of any kind; and is probably used here for a hunting spear, javelin, sword, etc. Quiver - תלי teli , from תלה talah , to hang or suspend. Had not the Septuagint translated the word φαρετραν , and the Vulgate pharetram , a quiver, I should rather have supposed some kind of shield was meant; but either can be suspended on the arm or from the shoulder. Some think a sword is meant; and because the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:4

Savory meat - מטעמים matammim , from טעם taam , to taste or relish; how dressed we know not, but its name declares its nature. That I may eat - The blessing 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... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:4

Verse 4 4.That my soul may bless thee. Wonderfully was the faith of the holy man blended with a foolish and inconsiderate carnal affection. The general principle of faith flourishes in his mind, when, in blessing his son, he consigns to him, under the direction of the Holy Spirit, the right of the inheritance which had been divinely promised to himself. Meanwhile, he is blindly carried away by the love of his firstborn son, to prefer him to the other; and in this way he contends against the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 27:1-14

The stolen blessing: a domestic drama. 1. Issac and Rebekah , or plotting and counterplotting . I. THE SCHEME OF ISAAC . 1. Its sinful object . The heavenly oracle having with no uncertain sound proclaimed Jacob the theocratic heir, the bestowment of the patriarchal benediction on Esau was clearly an unholy design. That Isaac, who on Mount Moriah had evinced such meek and ready acquiescence in Jehovah's will, should in old age, from partiality towards his firstborn,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 27:3

Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons ,—the word "weapon" signifying a utensil, vessel, or finished instrument of any sort (cf. Genesis 14:1-24 :53; Genesis 31:37 ; Genesis 45:20 ). Here it manifestly denotes weapons employed in hunting, and in particular those next specified— thy quiver —the ἅπαξ λέγομενον, תְּלִי : from תָּלָה to hang, properly is "that which is suspended;" hence a quiver, φαρέτραν ( LXX .), pharetram (Vulgate), which commonly depends from... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Genesis 27:4

And make me savory meat ,—"delicious food," from a root whose primary idea is to taste, or try the flavor, of a thing. Schultens observes that the corresponding Arabic term is specially applied to dishes made of flesh taken in hunting, and highly esteemed by nomad tribes— such as I love (cf. Genesis 25:28 , the ground of his partiality for Esau), and bring it to me, that I may eat ;—"Though Isaac was blind and weak in his eyes, yet it seem-eth his body was of a strong constitution,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Genesis 27:1-46

- Isaac Blessing His SonsThe life of Isaac falls into three periods. During the first seventy-five years he is contemporary with his father. For sixty-one years more his son Jacob remains under the paternal roof. The remaining forty-four years are passed in the retirement of old age. The chapter before us narrates the last solemn acts of the middle period of his life.Genesis 27:1-4Isaac was old. - Joseph was in his thirtieth year when he stood before Pharaoh, and therefore thirty-nine when... read more
