Genesis 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth… 1. Good wives are ready in straits to unbosom themselves to good husbands. 2. Good mothers are in great trouble for the good and safety of their children. 3. Gracious women are burdened with the impieties of rebellious and wicked allies in their families. 4. Wicked matches are burdens to the very life of gracious parents. 5. God sometimes makes gracious mothers more solicitous to stir up fathers for right disposing of their children (ver. 46). (G. Hughes, B. D.).
