Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge VERSE (6) -
Eze 27:13 Re 18:13
SEV Biblia
Y Esaú tomó sus mujeres, y sus hijos, y sus hijas, y todas las personas de su casa, y sus ganados, y todas sus bestias, y toda su hacienda que había adquirido en la tierra de Canaán, y se fue a otra tierra de delante de Jacob su hermano.
Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. Esau took his wives
, &c.] So it appears that Esau and Jacob dwelt together in Canaan, whither the former removed from Seir, probably soon after the return of Jacob. That they were on the most friendly footing this sufficiently proves; and Esau shows the same dignified conduct as on other occasions, in leaving Canaan to Jacob, and returning again to Mount Seir; certainly a much less fruitful region than that which he now in behalf of his brother voluntarily abandoned.
Matthew Henry Commentary
- Esau and his descendants.
--The registers in this chapter show the faithfulness of God to his promise to Abraham. Esau is here called Edom, that name which kept u the remembrance of his selling his birth-right for a mess of pottage Esau continued the same profane despiser of heavenly things. In outwar prosperity and honour, the children of the covenant are often behind and those that are out of the covenant get the start. We may suppose in a trial to the faith of God's Israel, to hear of the pomp and power of the kings of Edom, while they were bond-slaves in Egypt; but those tha look for great things from God, must be content to wait for them; God' time is the best time. Mount Seir is called the land of their possession. Canaan was at this time only the land of promise. Seir wa in the possession of the Edomites. The children of this world have their all in hand, and nothing in hope, Lu 16:25; while the children of God have their all in hope, and next to nothing in hand. But, all things considered, it is beyond compare better to have Canaan in promise, than mount Seir in possession _________________________________________________
