Shalom,
This week in the Torah Portion (Parashat) is Parashat Toldot ("Generations") and is taken from :
Torah : Genesis 25:19 - Genesis 28:9.
Haftarah : Malachi 1:1 - Malachi 2:7.
Brit Chadashah : Romans 9:1-31.
Gen 25:19
And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son: Abraham begat Isaac:
Gen 25:20
And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
Gen 25:21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Let us study Genesis 25:21.
Gen 25:21
And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Gen 25:21
וַיֶּעְתַּ֨ר יִצְחָ֤ק לַֽיהוָה֙ לְנֹ֣כַח אִשְׁתֹּ֔ו כִּ֥י עֲקָרָ֖ה הִ֑וא וַיֵּעָ֤תֶר לֹו֙ יְהוָ֔ה וַתַּ֖הַר רִבְקָ֥ה אִשְׁתֹּֽו׃
Gen 25:21
va.ye.tar yits.khak la.a.do.nai le.no.khakh ish.to ki a.ka.ra hiv va.ye.a.ter lo a.do.nai va.ta.har riv.ka ish.to
The word INTREATED (ENTREAT) in verse 21 sometimes always be thought as PRAYED. But if we look at the Hebrew word, it has deeper meaning.
The word INTREATED (ENTREAT) in Hebrew is ATAR (עְתַּ֨ר) which means : TO PRAY, TO ENTREAT, TO SUPPLICATE. The fundamental meaning of this word is that of A CRY TO THE LORD FOR DELIVERANCE.
This word ATAR (עְתַּ֨ר) was used in Isaac's prayer concerning his wife's barrenness (Gen 25:21); and the prayers of Moses to stop the plagues in Egypt (Exo 8:8).
Exo 8:8
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.
Scripture says that the LORD is faithful to hear such prayers (Job 33:26).
Job 33:26
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
Amen?
So the Good News to all the barren women is, our God is Faithful God. He listens to every prayer. Look at Abraham, look at Isaac, look at Jacob etc. There are many proofs of the barren women become pregnant and get children.
Remember, the nation of Israel today is from a barren woman Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel. Our God, Y-H-V-H can makes a barren woman to laugh. And the key is : ATAR (עְתַּ֨ר); A CRY TO THE LORD FOR DELIVERANCE, especially from the priest of the family, the husband.
Barukh HaShem b'Shem Yeshua HaMashiach.
