Commentary on Genesis 25:33

Theological / Devotional

Swear to me. Jacob’s conduct in this transaction is difficult to defend. His attitude and words reveal premeditation (Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 179). It is a dangerous and sometimes fatal mistake to anticipate and run ahead of Providence, which in due time and without human conniving will accomplish the divine purpose.
