Commentary

And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father. Who he perceived was displeased with the daughters of Canaan, or that they were "evil in his eyes" (i), offensive to him, and disapproved of by him, because of their ill manners: Rebekah is not mentioned, whose displeasure he cared not for. (i) "malae in oculis", Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Piscator, Drusius, Schmidt.
