This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
Ver. 34. And Esau was forty years old.] In an apish imitation of his father, who married not till that age; keeping under his body, and bringing it into subjection, as Paul, {1Co_9:27} being inured by good education, to hard labour, prayer, and pious meditation. But Esau did not so, a pleasure monger; he was a profane person, and, as the Hebrews say, a filthy whore master. So much also the apostle seems to intimate, when he sets them together, and saith, "Let there be no fornicator, or profane person, as Esau". {Heb_12:16}
He took to wife.] Not consulting his parents, or craving their consent. This was abdicationis praeludium; Deus quem destruit, dementat.
