This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen 28:20-22. Jacob’s vow.
Jacob vowed a vow - His words are not to be considered as implying a doubt, far less as stating the condition or terms on which he would dedicate himself to God. Let “if” be changed into “since,” and the language will appear a proper expression of Jacob’s faith - an evidence of his having truly embraced the promise. How edifying often to meditate on Jacob at Beth-el.
