Rebekah
Rebekah Wife of the patriarch
Isaac and mother of
Jacob and
Esau, her twins born after twenty years of marriage. She contrived to get Jacob, her favourite, to receive the dying Isaac's blessing at the expense of the first-born Esau (Gen. 25: 20–26; 27); this seems to be a legend from oral tradition told to explain the historical relationship of the
Edomites (descendants of Esau) to the Israelites: they were an older nation, related to the
Hebrews and settled on their southern border, and often in conflict.
