and Esau seeth that the daughters of Canaan are evil in the eyes of Isaac his father,

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

28:6-9 Good examples impress even the profane and malicious. But Esau thought, by pleasing his parents in one thing, to atone for other wrong doings. Carnal hearts are apt to think themselves as good as they should be, because in some one matter they are not so bad as they have been.

Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

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.
