Book of Genesis - Chapter 26 - Verse 35

26:35
Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.

Meaning

When the Bible verse says "Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah," it refers to the anguish and distress that Isaac and Rebekah felt because of their son Esau. Esau's behavior and choices caused his parents deep sorrow, as he showed disregard for their values and faith. Esau's marriage to Hittite women, who did not share their beliefs, was especially troubling to Isaac and Rebekah. This verse serves as a reminder of the pain that can be caused by a child straying from their upbringing and the challenges that parents may face when their children make choices that conflict with their own deeply held beliefs. The grief experienced by Isaac and Rebekah highlights the importance of faith and family relationships in the Bible, and serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of not following God's guidelines.
