Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxvii, 22-34.
Memory Verses, 33, 34—Golden Text,
lea. xxx, IS Commentary Prepared
by Rev. 6. M. Stearns.
Seven other sons. Including IshmaeL,
are recorded as having been -born to
Abraham by his secondary wives, but
to Isaac he gave all his possession!!
(xxv. 1, 2.-5) and sent the others away
unto the east country. Abraham lived
175 years, and when he died Isaac and
ishmael laid his body beside that of
Sarah In the cave of Machpelah (xxv,
7-10). While be lived he looked for the
city which hatli foundations whose
builder and maker is Gcd (Ueb, si. 10,
16), and he is still waiting for It and
for the complete fulfillment of the
! promises made to him as heir of the
world (Rom. iv, 13). Time Is long to
us, but not to Him to whom a thousand
years are but as yesterday when it is
past (Ps. xc, 4) and as a watch in the
night.
It Is restful to see Isaac dwelling by
the well Lahal-rol, the well of Him
that liveth and seeth me (xxv, 11; xvi,
14. margin). He was forty years old
when he married Rebekah. and be was
sixty when the twins Jacob and Esau
were boru. It forebodes trouble to read
that Isaac loved Esau, but Rebekab
ioved Jacob (xxv, 20, 20-28), and the
reason given for Isaac's love for Esau
does so ami very earthly.
Future* were not any more real to
Esau than they are to * multitudes to
day. A mess of pottage was more to
hiin Ms a hungry inan than his birth
right (xxv, 29-34). and for this be is
poken of as, a profane person, or, ac
••ordiag to Weymouth, "ungodly" (Heb.
xli. 16i. Think of the profanity abound
ing everywhere because the god of this
world is blinding so many eyes to the
realities of the future kingdom and
glory.
In chapter xxvi we read of Isaac's
failure on the same line on which bis
father had failed twice, in calling his
wife his sister to save his own life
(Gen. xli and xx). In xxvi, 4, we have
the star promise confirmed to Isaac,
and In verses 12-16 we see how greatly
the Lord blessed him and how very
deb the blessing of tbe Lord makes
one.
A beautiful incident is related in
verses 17 to 33 as to bow yielding in
stead of atrife makes manifest the life
of Christ in us. The Philistines had
filled up some of Abraham's wells.
Isaac reopened one, and then they
claimed it as theirs, and he let them
bave it He reopened another, and
tbey claimed that one. too, and he let
them have it When be reopened a
third for some reason tbey did not
strive for that Later they came to
him to make a covenant with him and
gave as their reason for desiring it
•'We saw certainly that tbe Lord was
with thee" (verse 28). Had he contend
ed with them and insisted on keeping
the wells, which would have been quite
right iu the eyes of the world, they
would have seen Isaac and not the
Lord, but be had learned the lesson of
rather taking wrong and suffering him
self to be defrauded (1 Cor. vi, 7>. It
Is most interesting to note that the
same day bis servants in digging a
well found water (xxvi. 32).
It is indeed sad to have to turn from
such a beautiful incident to the lesson
for today, which is a record of awful
deceit and lying and. worst of all, a
mother puttiug her son up to It and
calling down tbe consequences upon
her own head (xxvli, 13). Her aim was
to brlug the father's blessing upon the
son whom she loved, but if she had
only believed God and left tbe matter
In His hands He would not have failed
to keep His word, for He had told her
before the boys were born that the
elder should serve the younger (chapter
xxv. 23). There is everywhere a
tendeucy to help the Lord to do what
He baa no thought of doing, and that
is to win the world to nimself in this
age. with the devil still doing bis devil
ish work
There is also auch a lack of confl
deuce In God and His plan for His
kingdom that many religious people try
to work out their own plan, thinking
thus to help God. The devil hates the
love of God. the patience of God. tbe
purpose of God. and Is as busy with
many of tbe people of God as be was
with Rebekah that day, but they are
blinded and conceited n Cor. iv, 3, 4;
Rom. xi. 25). This record of Rebekab
makes na think of another mother who
was her son's counselor to do wickedly
(11 Chron. xxii. 3), but one would hate
to associate Rebekah with ancb as
Athaliah, though it is true of all that
the heart is deceitful and desperately
wicked and tbe carnal mind is enmity
against God (Jer. xvii, 9; Rom. rill, 7).
If gome of us have not developed the
same degree of iniquity as others it is
only the grace of God that has kept us.
Note the lie upon lie of this story: "1
am Esau, thy firstborn," "The Lord
thy God brought It to me," "I am thy
very son Esau" (verses 19, 20, 24).
But he w«s found out even as it is
written, "Be sure your sin will find yon
out" (Num. xxxli, 23), though those
words were used In a wholly different
sense when uttered or written. We do
well to remember that "God shall bring
every work into Judgment, with eVery
secret thing, whether it be good or
whether it be evil" (Eccl. xll, 14).
This may have been the first but cer
tainly not the last story of kid glove
deceit on record.
