Genesis 25:24 - Exposition

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled ,—literally, and were fulfilled her days to bring forth; ἐπληρώθησαν αἱ ἡμέραι τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτην ( LXX .; cf. Luke 1:57 ; Luke 2:6 ). Jarchi accounts for the different phrase used of Thamar ( Genesis 38:27 ), who also bore twins, by supposing that she had not completed her days, but gave birth to Pharez and Zarah in the seventh month ( vide Rosenmüller, in loco ) — behold, there were twins in her womb (cf. Genesis 38:27 , where the full form of the word for twins is given).
