• Who can suppose that she “went to inquire of Jehovah,” as when troubled by appearances before the birth of the twins? The sly Syrian character of her family asserted itself, in the assurance that Isaac was altogether in the wrong. But if right in her judgment, how sorrowful to tarnish it, not only by her own means of giving it effect, but by drawing her beloved child, the object of divine promise, into conduct so unworthy of faith! (“Isaac: 28. Rebekah's Advice: Genesis 27:6-17” by W. Kelly)
• Had she looked to God instead of her feeble husband and her fond son, how different all would have been! Even Abraham listened to Sarah's voice when he was deeply moved for Ishmael: how much more ought not Rebekah to have counted on her appeal to Isaac's conscience, backed by the divine oracle even before the birth of the twins, that “the elder should serve the younger”! (“Isaac: 29. The Common Sin and Shame: Genesis 27:18-29” by W. Kelly)
