Isaac loved Esau, not simply nor chiefly because he pleased his palate, but because this was an evidence of his son's great respect and affection to him, that he would take such pains and incur such hazards to which that course of life exposed him, that he might please and serve his father. But Rebekah loved Jacob upon better grounds, both because of his more pious and meek temper, and because of the oracle and promise of God.
