Genesis 25:24 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 25:24

And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled
The nine months were up from the time of her conception; or, as the Targum of Jonathan, when the two hundred and seventy days she went with child were completed: behold, [there were] twins in her womb;
as was perceived by the midwife; a double mercy was granted, more given than asked for; probably only one child was asked for, but two given.
