No mention is made of riches, or honours, or natural accomplishments, but merely of what related to God. - Fuller.Reciprocal 21:21 - a wife; 24:8 - only; 24:27 - of my; 24:38 - But; 31:53 - God of Abraham; Deuteronomy 26:5 - A Syrian; 2 Chronicles 24:3 - took for him; Proverbs 17:2 - wise; Jeremiah 29:6 - take wives Verse 5 Peradventure Genesis 24:58; Exodus 20:7, 9:2; Proverbs 13:16; Jeremiah 4:2 Reciprocal Genesis 24:8 - only; 24:39 - General Verse 6 Galatians 5:1; Habakkuk 3:1, 3:1, 3:1-11:16; 2 Peter 2:20-22 Reciprocal Genesis 24:8 - only; 30:25 - and to; 50:11 - the Canaanites; Habakkuk 3:1 - mindful Verse 7 Lord Ezra 1:2; Daniel 2:44; Jonah 1:9; Revelation 11:13 took Genesis 12:1-7 which spake 13:15, 15:18, 17:8, 22:16-18, 26:3, 26:4, 26:24; Exodus 13:5, 32:13; Numbers 14:16, 14:30; 32:11; Deuteronomy 1:8, 34:4; Joshua 1:6; Judges 2:1; Acts 7:5; Habakkuk 3:1 angel Exodus 23:20-23, 33:2; Psalm 32:8, 34:7, 73:24, 103:20; Proverbs 3:5, 3:6; Isaiah 63:9; Habakkuk 1:14 Reciprocal Genesis 24:40 - And he; 30:25 - and to; Exodus 4:13 - send; Proverbs 19:14 - and a; Jeremiah 32:22 - which; Luke 1:73 - General Verse 8 clear Numbers 30:5, 30:8; Joshua 2:17-20, 9:20; John 8:32 only Genesis 24:4, 24:5, 24:6; Acts 7:2 Reciprocal Genesis 24:41 - General; Ecclesiastes 9:2 - feareth Verse 9 Genesis 24:2 Reciprocal Joshua 2:12 - my father's; Ecclesiastes 9:2 - feareth Verse 10 foror, andall the Genesis 24:2, 39:4-6, 39:8, 39:9, 39:22, 39:23 Mesopotamia Deuteronomy 23:4; Judges 3:8-10; 1 Chronicles 19:6; Acts 2:9 city Genesis 11:31, 27:43, 29:1, 29:4, 29:5 Reciprocal 15:2 - the; 16:6 - in; 22:20 - Nahor; 22:21 - Aram; 23:10 - his; 28:2 - Padanaram; 31:17 - upon camels; 45:23 - good things; 1 Kings 16:9 - steward of; 18:3 - the governor of his house Verse 11 kneel Genesis 33:13, 33:14; Proverbs 12:10 women go out to draw waterHeb. women which draw water go forth, Genesis 24:13-20; Exodus 2:16; 1 Samuel 9:11; John 4:7 Reciprocal Genesis 29:2 - a well; Exodus 2:15 - sat down Verse 12 O Lord Genesis 24:27, 15:1, 17:7, 17:8, 26:24, 28:13, 31:42, 32:9; Exodus 3:6, 3:15; 1 Kings 18:36; 2 Kings 2:14; Matthew 22:32 I pray Genesis 27:10, 43:14; Nehemiah 1:11, 2:4; Psalm 37:5, 90:16, 90:17, 118:25, 122:6, 127:1; Proverbs 3:6; Philippians 4:6; 1 Thessalonians 3:10, 3:11 Reciprocal Genesis 24:21 - the Lord; 24:42 - O Lord; 1 Timothy 6:1 - count; 2 John 1:10 - neither Verse 13 I stand Genesis 24:43; Psalm 37:5; Proverbs 3:6 daughters Genesis 24:11, 29:9, 29:10; Exodus 2:16; Judges 5:11; 1 Samuel 9:11; John 4:7 Reciprocal Genesis 15:8 - General; 29:2 - a well; 1 Samuel 14:9 - they; Proverbs 31:13 - worketh Verse 14 And let Judges 6:17, 6:37; 1 Samuel 14:9 she that Genesis 24:44; Proverbs 19:14 thereby Genesis 15:8; Exodus 4:1-9; Judges 6:17, 6:37, 7:13-15, 18:5; 1 Samuel 6:7-9, 10:2-10; 14:8, 14:10, 20:7; 2 Samuel 5:24, 20:9; 2 Kings 20:8-11; Isaiah 7:11; Romans 1:10 Reciprocal Genesis 24:19 - General; 24:43 - General; Exodus 2:16 - they came; Judges 7:11 - thou shalt; Proverbs 31:13 - worketh Verse 15 before Genesis 24:45; Judges 6:36-40; Psalm 34:15, 65:2, 145:18, 145:19; Isaiah 58:9, 65:24; Daniel 9:20-23 Rebekah Genesis 24:24, 22:20-23 Milcah 11:27, 11:29, 22:23 pitcher 21:14, 29:9; Exodus 2:16; Ruth 2:2, 2:17; Proverbs 31:27 Reciprocal Genesis 11:31 - Haran; 24:50 - Laban; 24:51 - hath; 28:2 - Padanaram; 1 Kings 1:22 - General Verse 16 fair to look uponHeb. good of countenance, Genesis 26:7, 39:6 known 4:1; Numbers 31:17, 31:18; Song of Songs 5:2 Reciprocal Genesis 29:17 - beautiful Verse 17 Let 1 Kings 17:10; John 4:7, 4:9 water of Genesis 26:1-35; Isaiah 21:14, 30:25, 35:6, 35:7, 41:17, 41:18, 49:10

From the word being in the singular number, it is not likely to have been an ear-ring, or a "jewel for the forehead," but "a jewel for the nose, a nose-ring," which is in use throughout Arabia and Persia, particularly among young women. It is very properly translated επιρρινον, "an ornament for the nose," by Symmachus; and Sir John Chardin informs us, that "it is a custom in almost all the East, for the women to wear rings in their noses, in the left nostril, which is bored low down in the middle. These rings are of gold, and have commonly two pearls and one ruby between, placed in the ring. I never saw a girl or young woman in Arabia or in all Persia, who did not wear a ring after this manner in her nostril."of half Genesis 23:15, 23:16 braceletsThe word rendered "bracelet," from a root which signifies "to join or couple together," may imply whatever may clasp round the arms and legs; for rings and ornaments are worn round both by females in India and Persia. The small part of the leg, and the whole arm, from the shoulder to the wrist, are generally decorated in this way. As these were given to Rebekah for "her hands," it sufficiently distinguishes them from similar ornaments for the ankles.Reciprocal 24:47 - I put; Judges 8:24 - give me; Job 28:1 - the silver; 42:11 - every man; Song of Songs 1:10 - thy cheeks Verse 24 Genesis 24:15, 11:29, 22:20, 22:23 Reciprocal 29:5 - son of Verse 25 Genesis 18:4-8; Judges 19:19-21; Isaiah 32:8; 1 Peter 4:9 Reciprocal Genesis 24:31 - for I; Exodus 5:7 - straw Verse 26 Genesis 24:48, 24:52, 22:5; Exodus 4:31, 12:27, 34:8; 1 Chronicles 29:20; 2 Chronicles 20:18, 29:30; Nehemiah 8:6; Psalm 22:29, 66:4, 72:9, 95:6; Micah 6:6; Philippians 2:10 Reciprocal Genesis 47:31 - And Israel bowed; Judges 7:15 - worshipped; 1 Samuel 1:28 - he worshipped; 14:12 - Come up after me Verse 27 Blessed Genesis 24:12, 9:26, 14:20; Exodus 18:10; Ruth 4:14; 1 Samuel 25:32, 25:39; 2 Samuel 18:28; 1 Chronicles 29:10-13; Psalm 68:19, 72:18, 72:19; Luke 1:68; Ephesians 1:3; 1 Timothy 1:17 of his Genesis 32:10; Psalm 98:3, 100:5; Micah 7:20; John 1:17 the Lord Genesis 24:48; Proverbs 3:6, 4:11-13, 8:20 of my Genesis 24:4, 13:8; Exodus 2:11, 2:13 Reciprocal Genesis 31:23 - General; Judges 7:15 - worshipped; 1 Samuel 14:12 - Come up after me; Psalm 25:6 - for they; 25:10 - mercy; 33:4 - all his; 61:7 - prepare; 69:13 - in the; Proverbs 14:22 - but; Luke 7:2 - who; 1 Timothy 6:1 - count Verse 28 of Genesis 24:48, 24:55, 24:67, 31:33 her mother'sSome have conjectured from this, that her father Bethuel was dead; and the person called Bethuel - 24:50
was a younger brother. This is possible; but as Dr. A. Clarke remarks, the mother's house might be mentioned were even the father alive; for in Asiatic countries, the women have apartments entirely separate from those of the men, in which their little children and grown-up daughters reside with them. This was probably the case here; though, from the whole narrative, it is very probable that Bethuel was dead, as the whole business appears to be conducted by Rebekah's brothers.Reciprocal 29:12 - and she Verse 29 Genesis 24:55, 24:60, 29:5 Reciprocal 25:20 - the Syrian; 28:2 - Laban; 29:13 - he ran Verse 30 Reciprocal Genesis 24:22 - took; Judges 17:2 - Blessed; Isaiah 3:19 - the bracelets; Jeremiah 2:32 - a maid Verse 31 thou Genesis 26:29; Judges 17:2; Ruth 3:10; Psalm 115:15; Proverbs 17:8, 18:16 for I Genesis 24:25 Reciprocal 24:42 - prosper; 37:11 - observed; Exodus 2:20 - call him; Judges 19:20 - lodge not; Acts 10:23 - and lodged Verse 32 he ungirdedi.e. Laban ungirdedstrawStraw, by the eastern mode of threshing, was cut or shattered, and reduced to a kind of chaff.

what the sentiments of the ancients were relative to an oath. They believed that they were bound precisely by what was spoken, and had no liberty to interpret the intentions of those by whom the oath was made.

that the Moors of that country are divided into tribes like the Arabians, and like them dwell in tents, formed into itinerant villages; that "these wanderers farm lands of the inhabitants of the towns, sow and cultivate them, paying their rent with the produce, such as fruits, corn, wax, etc. They are very skilful in choosing the most advantageous soils for every season, and very careful to avoid the Turkish troops, the violence of the one little suiting the simplicity of the other." It is natural to suppose, that Isaac possessed the like sagacity, when he sowed in the land of Gerar, and received that year an hundred-fold.receivedHeb. foundan hundredfold Psalm 67:6, 72:16; Ecclesiastes 11:6; Zechariah 8:12; Matthew 13:8, 13:23; Mark 4:8; 1 Corinthians 3:6; 2 Corinthians 9:10, 9:11; Galatians 6:7, 6:8 blessed Genesis 26:3, 26:29, 24:1, 24:35, 30:30; Job 42:12 Reciprocal Genesis 13:2 - General; 27:27 - which; 41:47 - General; Leviticus 25:21 - I will; Deuteronomy 2:7 - blessed; 28:3 - in the field; 2 Chronicles 31:10 - the Lord; Job 1:10 - thou hast blessed; Psalm 65:9 - thou preparest; 107:37 - which may; Proverbs 10:22 - it; Haggai 2:19 - from; Mark 4:20 - an hundred; Luke 8:8 - an hundredfold; 12:16 - The ground; 1 Corinthians 16:2 - as God Verse 13 And the man waxed greatDr. Adam Clarke remarks, that there is a strange and observable occurrence of the same term in the original, which is literally, "And the man was GREAT, and he went, going on, and was GREAT, until that he was exceeding GREAT."

As eating and drinking were used among the Asiatics on almost all religious occasions, and especially in making and confirming covenants, it is reasonable to suppose, that something of this kind was essentially necessary on this occasion; and that Isaac could not convey the right, till he had eaten of the meat provided for the purpose by him who was to receive the blessing.that my Genesis 27:7, 27:23, 27:25, 27:27, 14:19, 24:60, 28:3, 48:9, 48:15-20, 49:28; Leviticus 9:22, 9:23; Deuteronomy 33:1-29; Joshua 14:13, 22:6; Luke 2:34, 24:51; Habakkuk 3:1 Reciprocal Genesis 25:28 - he did eat of his venison; 27:9 - savoury; 27:14 - mother; 27:19 - that thy; 27:31 - eat; 28:1 - blessed; Luke 24:50 - he lifted; John 1:13 - nor of the will of the Verse 6 Reciprocal Genesis 25:28 - Rebekah Verse 7 before the Deuteronomy 33:1; Joshua 6:26; 1 Samuel 24:19 Reciprocal Genesis 27:4 - that my; 27:14 - mother Verse 8 Genesis 27:13, 25:23; Acts 4:19, 5:29; Ephesians 6:1 Reciprocal Genesis 27:43 - obey; Mark 6:24 - said Verse 9 two Judges 13:15; 1 Samuel 16:20 savouryMatammim, from taam, to taste or relish: how dressed is uncertain, but its name declares it nature.

Verse 15 goodly raimentHeb. desirable, Genesis 27:27
The Septuagint translates it "a goodly robe," which was a long garment that great men used to wear - Luke 20:46; 15:22. The priest afterwards in the law had "holy garments" to minister in - Exodus 28:2-4. Whether the first-born before the law had such to minister in is not certain: for, had they been common garments, why did not Esau himself or his wives keep them? But being, in likelihood, holy robes, received from their ancestors, the mother of the family kept them in sweet chests, from moths and the like; whereupon it is said - Genesis 27:27
"Isaac smelled the smell of his garments.Reciprocal 48:18 - for this; 1 Kings 20:6 - pleasant; James 2:2 - goodly Verse 16 skinsTravellers inform us, that the Eastern goats have long, fine, and beautiful hair, of the most delicate silky softness; indeed the animals generally in those hot countries are not covered with so thick a coat of hair as they are in more northerly regions; so that Isaac might easily be deceived, when his eyes were dim, and his feeling no less impaired than his sight.

Scarcely any two of the innumerable millions are exactly alike in either, and yet the difference cannot be defined or described! The power, wisdom, and kindness of our Creator should be admired and adored in this remarkable circumstance; for they are very visible. This description of Jacob is not unaptly accommodated to the character of a hypocrite: his voice, his language, is that of a Christian; his hands, or conduct, that of an ungodly man, but the judgment will proceed from God, the Judge of all, at the last day, as in the present case, not by the voice, but by the hands.
