Gn25-23d
(C) Dr Hendel, Jan-03

SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis primary functions is to make broad database
inquiries, studying themes throughout the Bible.
EXAMPLE
-------
There are many prophecies in the Bible. God frequently
introduces prophecies by some SYMBOLIC act. For example
God showed Jeremiah a boiling pot which symbolized the
burning hatred of the nations. Similarly in Gn25-23 God
used Rivkahs pregnancy to symbolize the destiny of the
2 nations that would come from her children. Hence
- The infants fought in the womb = Their nations would fight
- The infants fought = Their nations would each be separate
- Esauv was hairy/ruddy = Edom fights like an animal
- Jacob grabbed Esauvs heal = The smaller overpowers bigger
