And he said, your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your blessing.
All Commentaries on Genesis 27:35 Go To Genesis 27
Hippolytus of Rome
AD 235
The fact that he says to him, “Your brother came by trickery and took away your blessing” means, in a way that implies a mystery, that the Word of God, after his incarnation, had to take the form of a slave. [Thus] thanks to him who was unknown in his generation, he might receive the blessing of the Father and transmit it to us, who believe in him.
