ExplanationCommentary
Verse 30. Fear. Septuagint “Isaac was rapt into an ecstasy exceedingly great;” during which God explained to him the meaning of what had happened, that he might not think of revoking his blessing. Saint Augustine q. 80. He permitted Isaac to be in darkness respecting this affair, that it might be more manifest, that the will of man had no part in preferring Jacob; (Saint John Chrysostom hom. 53.) and that Esau might not direct his rage against his father.
