21. Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife —Though tried in a similar way to his father, he did not follow the same crooked policy. Twenty years he continued unblessed with offspring, whose seed was to be "as the stars" [ :- ]. But in answer to their mutual prayers ( :- ), Rebekah was divinely informed that she was to be the mother of twins, who should be the progenitors of two independent nations; that the descendants of the younger should be the more powerful and subdue those of the other ( Romans 9:12 ; 2 Chronicles 21:8 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-27" class="com-number"
