Rebekah said to her son Jacob The phrase "Rebekah said to her son Jacob" introduces us to a pivotal moment in the narrative. Rebekah, whose name in Hebrew (רִבְקָה, Rivkah) can mean "to tie" or "to bind," plays a crucial role in the unfolding of God's covenantal promises. Her actions here are driven by a deep understanding of the prophecy given to her during her pregnancy (Genesis 25:23), where God revealed that "the older will serve the younger." This moment is a testament to her faith and determination to see God's will fulfilled, albeit through human manipulation. The relationship between Rebekah and Jacob is intimate and strategic, highlighting the maternal influence in the biblical narrative.
