MEDITATION

Genesis 25:24-28

24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.
26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 So the boys grew. And Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.
28 And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

MEANINGFUL APPLICATION TO LIFE

1. The birth of twins

a. The firstborn was reddish and hairy. They called him “Esau” (“hairy”).
b. The second one grabbed hold of his brother’s heel.
They called him “Jacob” (“heel-grabber”).

2. Isaac’s age

a. He was sixty when the twins were born.
b. He waited twenty years for their arrival.

3. Growth of the children

a. Esau
i. He was a good hunter.
ii. He was an outdoorsman.
b. Jacob
i. He was “mild” in contrast.
ii. He was an indoorsman.

4. Isaac loved Esau while Rebekah loved Jacob! The lack of oneness was not helpful!

沉思

《创世记 25：24-28》
24 生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。
25 先产的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同皮衣，他们就给他起名叫以扫。
26 随后又生了以扫的兄弟，手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。
27 两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善于打猎，常在田野，雅各为人安静，常住在帐篷里。

28 以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味，利百加却爱雅各。

在生活里有意义地应用

1. 双胞胎的诞生

a. 先产的身体发红，浑身有毛。他们就给他起名叫“以扫”(“有毛的”)
b. 第二胎的手抓住兄弟的脚跟
因此给他起名叫“雅各”（“抓住脚跟的”）

2. 以撒的年纪

a. 双胞胎诞生的时候，以撒年正六十岁
b. 他等了二十年

3. 孩子的成长

a. 以扫
i. 他善于打猎
ii. 他善于到户外，常在田野
b. 雅各
i. 相反的，他为人“安静”
ii. 他善于在室内，常住在帐篷里

4. 以撒爱以扫，而利百加却爱雅各！他们缺乏了合一的想法，是不合意的！
