This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red [pottage]; for I [am] faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Ver. 30. Feed me, I pray thee, with that red, red.] He doubleth it, and could not, for haste and hunger, tell what to call it, to show his greediness. {a} And saith, "Feed me," or let me swallow at once; as camels are fed by casting gobbets into their mouth. He thought he should never have enough Our proverb is, As hungry as a hunter: but this hunter hath no he with him, and is therefore branded for a "profane" {Heb_12:16} sensualist, Edom. The word used for a glutton, {Deu_21:20} is used for a vile person, or a worthless person. {Jer_15:19}
{a} Geminatio indicat vehementiam appetitus - Pareus.
