Génesis 25:23 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 25:23

And the Lord said unto her
Either by one or other of the above persons she acquainted with this affair, and entreated to seek the Lord for her; or by an impulse upon her own mind: two nations [are] in thy womb;
or two persons, from whom two nations will spring, the Edomites and Israelites, the one from Esau, the other from Jacob: and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;
different in their bodies, complexions, manner of life, religion, as well as place of abode: and [the one] people shall be stronger than [the other] people:
the Edomites, the posterity of Esau, were a very potent people, and had a succession of dukes and kings, before the Israelites, the posterity of Jacob, made any figure in the world, and while they were slaves in Egypt, see ( Genesis 36:1-43 ) ; though in later times the Israelites became the stronger: and the elder,
or "greater", shall serve the younger,
or "lesser": the offspring of Esau, the eldest, should become tributary to the posterity of Jacob, the younger; which was verified in the times of David, when the Edomites were subdued by him, ( 2 Samuel 8:14 ) ; and still more in the times of Hyrcanus, when the Edomites or Idumeans became one people with the Jews, and embraced their religion F5, rather than to be dispossessed of their country; and will have a further accomplishment in the latter day, when the prophecies in ( Obadiah 1:18-21 ) shall be fulfilled. Of the use which the Apostle Paul makes of this passage, (See Gill on Romans 9:11), (See Gill on Romans 9:12).

Génesis 25:23 In-Context

21 Isaac rog贸 al Se帽or
a favor de su esposa, porque ella no pod铆a tener hijos. El Se帽or
contest贸 la oraci贸n de Isaac, y Rebeca qued贸 embarazada de mellizos.
22 Pero los dos ni帽os luchaban entre s铆 dentro de su vientre. As铆 que ella consult贸 al Se帽or
:
鈥斅縋or qu茅 me pasa esto? 鈥攑regunt贸.
23 Y el Se帽or
le dijo:
鈥擫os hijos que llevas en tu vientre llegar谩n a ser dos naciones, y desde el principio las dos naciones ser谩n rivales. Una naci贸n ser谩 m谩s fuerte que la otra; y tu hijo mayor servir谩 a tu hijo menor.
24 Cuando le lleg贸 el momento de dar a luz, 隆Rebeca comprob贸 que de verdad ten铆a mellizos!
25 El primero en nacer era muy rojizo y estaba cubierto de mucho vello, como con un abrigo de piel; por eso lo llamaron Esa煤.
