Genesis 25:25 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Red, like a hairy garment With red hair all over his body, as if he had been already a grown man, whence he had his name, Esau, made, reared already. This was an indication of a very strong constitution, and gave cause to expect that he would be a very robust, daring, active man. But Jacob was smooth and tender, as other children.

Genesis 25:25

25 And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
