Genesis 25:28

Context
NETBible

Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for fresh game, 1  but Rebekah loved 2  Jacob.

XREF

Ge 27:4,19,25,31; Ge 27:6

NET © Notes

tn Heb “the taste of game was in his mouth.” The word for “game,” “venison” is here the same Hebrew word as “hunter” in the last verse. Here it is a metonymy, referring to that which the hunter kills.

tn The disjunctive clause juxtaposes Rebekah with Jacob and draws attention to the contrast. The verb here is a participle, drawing attention to Rebekah’s continuing, enduring love for her son.
