Genesis 25:34 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Secure and impenitent, without any remorse for his ingratitude to God, or the injury which he had done to himself and to all his posterity, he went his way, despising his birthright, preferring the present and momentary satisfaction of his lust and appetite before God's and his father's blessing, and all the glorious privileges of the birthright.

Genesis 25:34

34 Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.
