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 halfGenesis 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.Reciprocal24:47 - I put; Judges 8:24 - give me; Job 28:1 - the silver; 42:11 - every man; Song of Songs 1:10 - thy cheeks Verse 24Genesis 24:15, 11:29, 22:20, 22:23Reciprocal29:5 - son of Verse 25Genesis 18:4-8; Judges 19:19-21; Isaiah 32:8; 1 Peter 4:9ReciprocalGenesis 24:31 - for I; Exodus 5:7 - straw Verse 26Genesis 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 2:10ReciprocalGenesis 47:31 - And Israel bowed; Judges 7:15 - worshipped; 1 Samuel 1:28 - he worshipped; 14:12 - Come up after me Verse 27BlessedGenesis 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 hisGenesis 32:10; Psalm 98:3, 100:5; Micah 7:20; John 1:17 the LordGenesis 24:48; Proverbs 3:6, 4:11-13, 8:20 of myGenesis 24:4, 13:8; Exodus 2:11, 2:13ReciprocalGenesis 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 28ofGenesis 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.Reciprocal29:12 - and she Verse 29Genesis 24:55, 24:60, 29:5Reciprocal25:20 - the Syrian; 28:2 - Laban; 29:13 - he ran Verse 30ReciprocalGenesis 24:22 - took; Judges 17:2 - Blessed; Isaiah 3:19 - the bracelets; Jeremiah 2:32 - a maid Verse 31thouGenesis 26:29; Judges 17:2; Ruth 3:10; Psalm 115:15; Proverbs 17:8, 18:16 for IGenesis 24:25Reciprocal24:42 - prosper; 37:11 - observed; Exodus 2:20 - call him; Judges 19:20 - lodge not; Acts 10:23 - and lodged Verse 32he ungirdedi.e. Laban ungirdedstrawStraw, by the eastern mode of threshing, was cut or shattered, and reduced to a kind of chaff.

This may have been the same city which was called Beer-sheba a hundred years before this, in the time of Abraham; but as the well, from which it had its name originally, was closed up by the Philistines, the name of the place might have been abolished with the well; when, therefore, Isaac re-opened it, he restored the ancient name of the place.Reciprocal21:14 - Beersheba; 21:33 - called; Joshua 4:9 - and they are there; 15:28 - Beersheba; Nehemiah 11:27 - General Verse 34 amAnd EsauGenesis 36:2, 36:5, 36:13 the daughter24:3; Exodus 34:16; 1 Corinthians 7:2; Habakkuk 3:1 BashemathGenesis 36:2Reciprocal21:21 - a wife; 27:46 - because; 28:1 - Thou shalt; 28:8 - the daughters; 34:1 - the daughter; 34:9 - General; Numbers 12:1 - married; Proverbs 17:21 - that; Malachi 2:15 - That he Verse 35WhichGenesis 6:2, 27:46, 28:1, 28:2, 28:8 grief of mindHeb. bitterness of spiritReciprocal21:21 - a wife; 24:3 - that; 34:9 - General; 36:2 - Esau; Numbers 12:1 - married; Malachi 2:15 - That he Verse 1 amdimGenesis 48:10; 1 Samuel 3:2; Ecclesiastes 12:3; John 9:3 eldest sonGenesis 25:23-25Reciprocal31:18 - for to go; 35:29 - Isaac; 37:13 - Here am I; Deuteronomy 34:7 - his eye; 1 Samuel 4:15 - and his eyes; 1 Kings 14:4 - for his eyes; Psalm 71:18 - Now; Ecclesiastes 12:2 - the sun; Romans 9:16 - General Verse 2I know notGenesis 48:21; 1 Samuel 20:3; Proverbs 27:1; Ecclesiastes 9:10; Isaiah 38:1, 38:3; Mark 13:35; James 4:14ReciprocalGenesis 31:18 - for to go; 35:29 - Isaac; Habakkuk 3:1 - all died Verse 3IGenesis 10:9, 25:27, 25:28 take meHeb. hunt, 25:27, 25:28; 1 Corinthians 6:12ReciprocalGenesis 21:20 - an archer; Isaiah 7:24 - General Verse 4that I may eatThe blessing, says Dr. A. Clarke, which Isaac was to confer on his son, was a species of divine right, and must be communicated with appropriate ceremonies. 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 myGenesis 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 3:1ReciprocalGenesis 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 6ReciprocalGenesis 25:28 - Rebekah Verse 7before theDeuteronomy 33:1; Joshua 6:26; 1 Samuel 24:19ReciprocalGenesis 27:4 - that my; 27:14 - mother Verse 8Genesis 27:13, 25:23; Acts 4:19, 5:29; Ephesians 6:1ReciprocalGenesis 27:43 - obey; Mark 6:24 - said Verse 9twoJudges 13:15; 1 Samuel 16:20 savouryMatammim, from taam, to taste or relish: how dressed is uncertain, but its name declares it nature.

Verse 15goodly 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

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.
