| Genesis 27:13 | And his mother said to him: Upon me be this curse, my son: only hear thou my voice, and go, fetch me the things which I have said. | This curse. Rebecca had too much confidence in God's promises, to think that he would suffer them to be ineffectual. Hence, Onkelos makes her say, "I have learnt by revelation, that thou wilt receive no curse, but only blessing." The sequel shewed, that she was directed by God in this delicate business. (Theodoret q. 78.) (Calmet) |
