| Why should I be deprived also of you both - If Esau should kill Jacob, then the nearest akin to Jacob, who was by the patriarchal law, Gen 9:6, the avenger of blood, would kill Esau; and both these deaths might possibly take place in the same day. This appears to be the meaning of Rebekah. Those who are ever endeavoring to sanctify the means by the end, are full of perplexity and distress. God will not give his blessing to even a Divine service, if not done in his own way, on principles of truth and righteousness. Rebekah and her son would take the means out of God's hands; they compassed themselves with their own sparks, and warmed themselves with their own fire; and this had they at the hand of God, they lay down in sorrow. God would have brought about his designs in a way consistent with his own perfections; for he had fully determined that the elder should serve the younger, and that the Messiah should spring not from the family of Esau but from that of Jacob; and needed not the cunning craftiness or deceits of men to accomplish his purposes. Yet in his mercy he overruled all these circumstances, and produced good, where things, if left to their own operations and issues, would have produced nothing but evil. However, after this reprehensible transaction, we hear no more of Rebekah. The Holy Spirit mentions her no more, her burial excepted, Gen 49:31. See note on Gen 35:8. |
8 But Deborah [01683] Rebekah's [07259] nurse [03243] died [04191], and she was buried [06912] beneath Bethel [01008] under an oak [0437]: and the name [08034] of it was called [07121] Allonbachuth [0439].

6 Whoso sheddeth [08210] man's [0120] blood [01818], by man [0120] shall his blood [01818] be shed [08210]: for in the image [06754] of God [0430] made [06213] he man [0120].
