1). Isaac thought his death was soon. He wanted to make sure he would bless his eldest son before death. Isaac lived 43 more years (Genesis 35:28).

2). What must be noted here is that the Lord God had already stated to Rebekah that the elder would serve the younger. God’s choice was that the family and messianic blessing would be put on Jacob. Isaac surely knew this and yet he was determined to bless Esau.   

3). Henry M. Morris, The Genesis record: The twins in her womb were of two utterly different and antagonistic temperaments. The nations which they would establish would inherit these tendencies. The struggle which had begun in her womb would continue throughout their lives and throughout the histories of their respective nations. Which, then, would prevail? The Lord was most specific in His reply: “The elder shall serve the younger.” The younger son would become stronger than the older, and would finally prevail. Since one of the two must carry on the Messianic line and must inherit the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant, it is crystal clear that God here told Rebekah that His covenant would be with the younger son, not the older. The younger must therefore receive the father’s inheritance and blessing, as Isaac had from Abraham. 

2). Don Costello: Frankly, after studying these chapters out concerning Jacob and Esau, it is no surprise that Jacob was preferred above Esau. In answer to her prayer of what was going on in her womb. [Genesis 25:23  “And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”] The LORD, who knows the beginning and the end, looked forward through the next 7 decades of the twin’s lives, and saw how each would respond to the graces given each, and chose Jacob over Esau. Earlier in their lives it was observed that Esau thought little of spiritual things. He despised his birthright. The Classic Amplified says: “Esau scorned his birthright as beneath his notice.”(Genesis 25:34). While in his forties Esau married two Canaanite women which were a grief of mind to his parents (Genesis 26). After Jacob left to go to Padam-aram to find a wife because Isaac and Rebekah disapproved of Canaanites for wives, Esau purposely went and sought another wife from the Canaanites (Genesis 28:8, 9). These spiritual rebellious choices throughout Esau’s life, being known to God in His Omniscience, he realized that desiring and allowing Esau to be the Messianic line would only end in disaster. Later commentary from the writer of Hebrews adds perfect reasonability to Jacob as God’s choice. Hebrews 12:15-17  “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” Esau’s life was failure after failure of the grace of God.

3). Romans 9:10-12 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

 

4). Finis Jennings Dake: The family of Esau or Edom seemed to be stronger at first than Jacob’s (or israel’s), for they had dukes and kings long before Israel did (Genesis 36). And they were powerful enough to resist israel’s passage through their land when coming out of Egypt (Numbers 20). Later, David completely defeated them and made them subject to Israel for about 150 years (2 Samuel 8:14). After the Babylonian captivity, the Maccabees compelled them to leave their country or embrace the Jewish faith. From then on they were ruled by Israel. In the Millennium they will be under Israel (Psalm 60:8-10;Isaiah 11:14; Isaiah 63:1; Amos 9:12).

1). Esau and Jacob were the same age, born twins on the same day but Esau came out first (Genesis 25:26). Below we can see how old they were during events in their lives. 

a). Finis Jennings Dake: That Jacob was 77 years old at this time seems evident from a study of several passages. It is necessary to take into account the age of his son Joseph at the time he (Jacob) went down to Egypt with his family and figure back to this time. From Genesis 41:46-54 and Genesis 45:5-9 we learn that Joseph was 30 years old “when he stood before Pharoah”, at the beginning of the 7 plenteous years. After those 7 years and two more years of famine, Joseph was 39, his brothers, their families, and their father Jacob, came down to live with Joseph in Egypt. Jacob was then 130 years old, Genesis 47:9. This means that Jacob was 91 years old when Joseph was born in Haran. It was then that Jacob wanted to return to his own people in Canaan, but Laban persuaded him to remain 6 more years, (Genesis 30:25-28; Genesis 31:38-41). Since the entire stay in Haran was 20 years, of which 6 were spent after Joseph was born, then we know that joseph was born in the 14th year of Jacob in Haran. Counting back 14 years from his age of 91 at joseph’s birth, we thus find him about 77 when he first came to Haran looking for a wife. He returned to Isaac and Esau after the 20 years with Laban.

1). Henry M. Morris, The Genesis record: The twins in her womb were of two utterly different and antagonistic temperaments. The nations which they would establish would inherit these tendencies. The struggle which had begun in her womb would continue throughout their lives and throughout the histories of their respective nations. Which, then, would prevail? The Lord was most specific in His reply: “The elder shall serve the younger.” The younger son would become stronger than the older, and would finally prevail. Since one of the two must carry on the Messianic line and must inherit the promises of the Abrahamic Covenant, it is crystal clear that God here told Rebekah that His covenant would be with the younger son, not the older. The younger must therefore receive the father’s inheritance and blessing, as Isaac had from Abraham. 

2). Don Costello: Frankly, after studying these chapters out concerning Jacob and Esau, it is no surprise that Jacob was preferred above Esau. In answer to her prayer of what was going on in her womb. [Genesis 25:23  “And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.”] The LORD, who knows the beginning and the end, looked forward through the next 7 decades of the twin’s lives, and saw how each would respond to the graces given each, and chose Jacob over Esau. Earlier in their lives it was observed that Esau thought little of spiritual things. He despised his birthright. The Classic Amplified says: “Esau scorned his birthright as beneath his notice.”(Genesis 25:34). While in his forties Esau married two Canaanite women which were a grief of mind to his parents (Genesis 26). After Jacob left to go to Padam-aram to find a wife because Isaac and Rebekah disapproved of Canaanites for wives, Esau purposely went and sought another wife from the Canaanites (Genesis 28:8, 9). These spiritual rebellious choices throughout Esau’s life, being known to God in His Omniscience, he realized that desiring and allowing Esau to be the Messianic line would only end in disaster. Later commentary from the writer of Hebrews adds perfect reasonability to Jacob as God’s choice. Hebrews 12:15-17  “Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; 12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. 12:17 For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.” Esau’s life was failure after failure of the grace of God.

3). Romans 9:10-12 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.

 

4). Finis Jennings Dake: The family of Esau or Edom seemed to be stronger at first than Jacob’s (or israel’s), for they had dukes and kings long before Israel did (Genesis 36). And they were powerful enough to resist israel’s passage through their land when coming out of Egypt (Numbers 20). Later, David completely defeated them and made them subject to Israel for about 150 years (2 Samuel 8:14). After the Babylonian captivity, the Maccabees compelled them to leave their country or embrace the Jewish faith. From then on they were ruled by Israel. In the Millennium they will be under Israel (Psalm 60:8-10;Isaiah 11:14; Isaiah 63:1; Amos 9:12).
