Genesis 25:22
The children struggled within her — The commotion was altogether extra — ordinary, and made her very uneasy: If it be so, or, since it is so, why am I thus? — Before the want of children was her trouble, now the struggle of the children is no less so. And she went to enquire of the Lord — Some think Melchizedek was now consulted as an oracle, or perhaps some Urim or Teraphim were now used to enquire of God by, as afterwards in the breast — plate of judgment. The word and prayer, by which we now enquire of the Lord, give great relief to those that are upon any account perplexed: it is a mighty ease to spread our case before the Lord, and ask council at his mouth. |
