Genesis 27:36


And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? [Supplanter] for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?

two times. He took my birthright, and lo, now hath he taken my blessing. Also he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
(g) In Genesis 25:26, he was so called because he held his brother by the heel, as though he would
overthrow him; and therefore he is here called an overthrower, or deceiver.
