Genesis 27:34 Meaning and 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 am a child of thine as well as Jacob, show paternal affection to me; give me also a child's blessing, one at least equal to what thou hast given Jacob, if not a greater, as being the firstborn.
