[1] {servant}
This is the model servant: (1) he does not run unsent,
# Ge 24:2-9
(2) goes where he is sent,
# Ge 24:4-10
(3) does nothing else; (4) is prayerful and thankful,
# Ge 24:12-14,26,27
(5) is wise to win, vs.
# Ge 24:17,18,21
(Cf)
# Joh 4:7
(6) speaks not of himself, but of his master's riches and Isaac's
heirship,
# Ge 24:22,34-36 Ac 1:8
(7) presents the true issue, and requires clear decision,
# Ge 24:49

[2] {Keturah}
As Sarah stands for "the mother of us all," i.e. of those who, by
grace, are one with the true Son of promise, of whom Isaac was the
type
# Joh 3:6-8 Ga 4:26,28,29 Heb 2:11-13
and joint heirs of His wealth
# Heb 1:2 Ro 8:16,17
so Keturah (wedded after the full blessing of Isaac) and her children
by Abraham may well stand for the fertility of Israel the natural seed,
Jehovah's wife
# Ho 2:1-23
after the future national restoration under the Palestinian covenant
» See Note "De 30:3"

[1] {Esau}
Esau stands for the mere man of the earth.
# Heb 12:16,17
In many respects a nobler man, naturally, than Jacob, he was destitute
of faith, and despised the birthright because it was a spiritual thing,
of value only as there was faith to apprehend it.

[2] {birthright}
The "birthright" had three elements: (1) Until the establishment of
the Aaronic priesthood the head of the family exercised priestly
rights. (2) The Abrahamic family held the Edenic promise of the
Satan-Bruiser
# Ge 3:15
--Abel, Seth, Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Esau.
(3) Esau, as the firstborn, was in the direct line of the Abrahamic
promise of the Earth-Blesser
# Ge 12:3
For all that was revealed, in Esau might have fulfilled those two
great Messianic promises. This birthright Esau sold for a momentary
fleshly gratification. Jacob's conception of the birthright at that
time was, doubtless, carnal and inadequate, but his desire for it
evidenced true faith.
