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.

Genesis 25:24 In-Context

22 But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, “Why is this happening to me?” So Rebekah went to inquire of the LORD,

23 and He declared to her: “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger.”

24 When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb.

25 The first one came out red, covered with hair like a fur coat; so they named him Esau.

26 After this, his brother came out grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. And Isaac was sixty years old when the twins were born.
