Summary

In this verse, Rebekah instructs Jacob on how to deceive his father, Isaac, in order to receive the blessing meant for his brother, Esau. Rebekah's actions reveal her manipulation and favoritism towards Jacob, leading to a scheme that goes against God's plan and promotes dishonesty within the family. This event ultimately results in broken relationships and consequences for both Jacob and Esau, highlighting the destructive nature of deceit and the importance of trusting in God's timing and sovereignty.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And he went and fetched and brought them to his mother,.... Being satisfied with what his mother had said, he went to the field where the flock was, and took out of it two young kids, and brought them to his mother; and thus far he did right to obey her commands: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved; by picking out proper pieces, and seasoning them well, it was as grateful to him as if it had really been venison, such as he loved.
