As we read on we find she was not the meek, submissive and obedient wife we are told women should be.
She systematically and continually had her own way, in spite of husband, sons, kings, men, God or angels.
"AND REBEKAH WAS—A WOMAN."
We discover that by a succession of deceptions, tricks and chicanery she cheated Esau out of his blessing, obtained it for Jacob, and deceived and deluded her dying husband, all at one fell swoop.
It is but just to Jacob to say that he objected to putting himself in his brother's place, but Rebekah said, "only obey my voice," and he obeyed—of course.
