But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If it is so, why am I in this condition?” So she went to inquire of the Lord.
Genesis 25:22 (NASB)
Genesis 25:22 says that Rebekah "went to inquire of the Lord."
The text says "she went." Where did she go, exactly?!
If God is everywhere, why didn't it just say "she prayed to the Lord," like it did for Isaac in the previous verse?
This phrase "went to inquire of the Lord" is most commonly associated with going to see a prophet or a priest, so the rabbis wondered who Rebekah went to see.
Some suggested that Shem, son of Noah, was still around, providing guidance and wisdom for those who seek the Lord.
