When Esau was forty years old, he took Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite to be his wife, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and they made life bitter for Isaac and Rebekah. (Genesis 26:34, 35 ESV)
Sensible
I once worked for a man who had a strange rule… no shoes were allowed in his house. He did not have particularly nice flooring, he just didn’t like shoes. Apparently, it is illegal in some cities to spit on the sidewalk. I do not know if such rules are enforced, but they certainly are strange. My parents declared a very arbitrary bedtime when I was a child. I never understood the rationale. I still do not.
But God’s rules, laws, and commandments are not only His holy instructions to set us apart from the rest of the world, they also make sense.
Look what happened to Isaac and Rebekah after Esau married two other women. God’s intention from Genesis 2 onward was a man and a woman to marry, but Esau decided he knew better.
And the result was a bitter life. As we would expect in any multi-spousal family.
But God’s commandments make sense.
Because they are His.
We are peculiar, we can follow His sensible laws.
