Genesis 28:15

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Genesis 28:1-22

Chapter 28So Isaac called Jacob, and he blessed him, and he charged him, and he said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan. Arise, and go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from there of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother ( Genesis 28:1-2 ).Now evidently, they were able to keep some kind of a communication perhaps by the caravans that would travel. You'd give a letter and it will be carried and you'd-and they would... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Genesis 28:1-22

Genesis 28:1. Isaac called Jacob and blessed him. A heart-rending business to be forced away from his father’s house in the 58th year of his age. He went not with a train of ten camels, as were sent to his mother when brought to Isaac, but as a pilgrim with his staff in his hand to learn to trust in the Lord. Isaac, in the charge respecting Jacob’s marriage, kept his eye constantly on the promises, and in this he is an example to believers, for the Lord is ever mindful of his faithful word.... read more

Genesis 28:10-15And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heavenJacob at BethelI.THE WANDERER. It had been a desolate day, and there was only desolation at night. In his weariness he slept, and as he slept, he dreamed. If dreams reflect the thoughts of the day, a new life must have begun within him. It was not Esau, or the plotting mother, or the aged father, upon whom he looked. The old tent was not over him, nor did he long for the pillows of home.... read more

Genesis 28:15I will not leave thee, until I have done all that which I have spoken to thee ofRenewed pledgesThere are two very observable facts which may be gathered from the joint study of the Bible and our own hearts.1. That we are prone to distrust the promises of God, though we know Him to be unchangeable. 2. That God so condescends to our weakness that He reduplicates His pledges, in order, as it were, to compel us into confidence. I. God speaks to His people of sin blotted out; He speaks... read more

Ver. 14, 15. And thy seed shall be as the dust. ] Against his fourfold cross, here is a fourfold comfort, as Pererius well observeth, a plaster as broad as the sore, and sovereign for it. (1.)

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 28:10-22

JACOB AT BETHEL, Genesis 28:10-22. A complex nature of manifold elements was that of Jacob. His cunning, and disposition to supplant and overreach, have been twice shown. Deceitfulness was a quality so conspicuous in his character as to have put him under the condemnation of all after time. But at the same time he was possessed of many higher qualities than Esau. The latter quickly showed out all he was; but many years and divers experiences were necessary to develop Jacob. In his more quiet... read more
