And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.
All Commentaries on Genesis 25:28 Go To Genesis 25
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Loved Esau, as his first-born, who showed him all attention, and whom he would naturally have appointed his heir, if the will of God had not afterwards been revealed to him. Rebecca, to whom this was already known, gave the preference in her love to Jacob. (Haydock)
