Génesis 25:28 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 25:28

And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of [his] venison,
&c.] Better than Jacob, not only because he was his firstborn, but because he brought him of the flesh of creatures, which he took in hunting, and being dressed, were savoury food to him: it is in the original, "because venison (or what he hunted) [was] in his mouth" ^F8, into which he put it, and was very grateful to his taste: but Rebekah loved Jacob;
more than Esau, being more at home with her, and of a milder disposition; and more especially being a good man, a partaker of the grace of God, and to whom she knew by the oracle the blessing and promise belonged.

Génesis 25:28 In-Context

26 Y después salió su hermano, con su mano asida al talón de Esaú, y lo llamaron Jacob . Isaac tenía sesenta años cuando ella los dio a luz.

27 Los niños crecieron, y Esaú llegó a ser diestro cazador, hombre del campo; pero Jacob era hombre pacífico, que habitaba en tiendas.

28 Y amaba Isaac a Esaú porque le gustaba lo que cazaba, pero Rebeca amaba a Jacob.

29 Un día, cuando Jacob había preparado un potaje, Esaú vino del campo, agotado;

30 y Esaú dijo a Jacob: Te ruego que me des a comer un poco de ese guisado rojo, pues estoy agotado. Por eso lo llamaron Edom .
