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 boys pushed against each other inside of her, and she said, "If this is what it's like, why did it happen to me?" So she went to ask the LORD.

23 And the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb; two different peoples will emerge from your body. One people will be stronger than the other; the older will serve the younger."

24 When she reached the end of her pregnancy, she discovered that she had twins.

25 The first came out red all over, clothed with hair, and she named him Esau.

26 Immediately afterward, his brother came out gripping Esau's heel, and she named him Jacob. Isaac was 60 years old when they were born.
