Genesis 27:30-34 BSB

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Genesis 27:30-40

Here is, I. The covenant-blessing denied to Esau. He that made so light of the birthright would now have inherited the blessing, but he was rejected, and found no place of repentance in his father, though he sought it carefully with tears, Heb. 12:17. Observe, 1. How carefully he sought it. He prepared the savoury meat, as his father had directed him, and then begged the blessing which his father had encouraged him to expect, Gen. 27:31. When he understood that Jacob had obtained it... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:30

And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of , blessing Jacob ,.... So that he had the whole entire blessing, and nothing wanting; and takes in blessings of all sorts, temporal, spiritual, and eternal, of which the land of Canaan, and the fruits of it, were typical: and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father ; which no doubt he made haste to do, as soon as he had got the blessing; partly to avoid his brother, whom he might expect to come in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:31

And he also made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father ,.... Which was made of real venison, or of creatures taken in hunting, and not like Jacob's, made of other flesh, in imitation of it; for what the Jewish writers F1 Bereshit Rabba, sect. 67. fol. 59. 3. say is not to be regarded, that he was hindered from getting true venison, by angels loosing the deer he bound; still less what the Targum of Jonathan says, that he killed a dog, made savoury meat of it, and brought it to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:32

And Isaac his father said unto him, who art thou ?.... Hearing another voice more like Esau's than what he had heard before surprised him, and therefore in haste puts this question: and he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau ; all which was true in a sense; he was his son, and he was Esau, and he was his firstborn by nature, but not by right, for he had sold his birthright. read more

And Isaac trembled very exceedingly ,.... Or "trembled with a great trembling exceedingly" F2 ויחרד חרדה גדלה עד־מאד "contremuit tremore magno usque valde", Montanus; Pagninus, Schmidt. ; he was amazed, and astonished, and seized with a trembling all over his body, and with terror and confusion of mind; at the craft of Jacob in getting the blessing; at the disappointment of Esau in losing it; at his own act in blessing Jacob instead of Esau, contrary to his inclination and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Genesis 27:34

And when Esau heard the words of his father ,.... That another person had been before him, and got the blessing; and especially when he heard this ratified, and confirmed, and made irrevocable: he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry ; as loud as he possibly could, and in as doleful and hideous a manner as can be imagined; according to the Vulgate Latin version, he roared like a lion: and said unto his father, bless me, even me also, O my father ; thou art my father, and I... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:33

And Isaac trembled - The marginal reading is very literal and proper, And Isaac trembled with a great trembling greatly. And this shows the deep concern he felt for his own deception, and the iniquity of the means by which it had been brought about. Though Isaac must have heard of that which God had spoken to Rebekah, The elder shall serve the younger, and could never have wished to reverse this Divine purpose; yet he might certainly think that the spiritual blessing might be conveyed to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:30

Verse 30 30.Jacob was yet scarce gone out. Here is added the manner in which Esau was repulsed, which circumstance availed not a little to confirm the benediction to Jacob: for if Esau had not been rejected, it might seem that he was not deprived of that honor which nature had given him: but now Isaac declares, that what he had done, in virtue of his patriarchal office, could not but be ratified. Here, truly, it again appears, that the primogeniture which Jacob obtained, at the expense of his... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:33

Verse 33 33.And Isaac trembled very exceedingly (48) Here now again the faith which had been smothered in the breast of the holy man shines forth and emits fresh sparks; for there is no doubt that his fear springs from faith. Besides, it is no common fear which Moses describes, but that which utterly confounds the holy man: for, whereas he was perfectly conscious of his own vocation, and therefore was persuaded that the duty of naming the heir with whom he should deposit the covenant of eternal... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 27:34

Verse 34 34.He cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry. Though Esau persists in imploring the blessing, he yet gives a sign of desperation, which is the reason why he obtains no benefit, because he enters not by the gate of faith. True piety, indeed, draws forth tears and great cries from the children of God; but Esau, trembling and full of fears, breaks out in wailings; afterwards he casts, at a venture, his wish into the air, that he also may receive a blessing. But his blind incredulity... read more
