The table below presents an aligned extract of verses in
Gn25-24a, Gn38-27
Both verses
discuss
pregnant women giving birth.
The alignment justifies the Rashi assertion that
Rivkah had a full 9 month pregnancy while Tamar had 7 month pregnancy.
In the sermonic points section we provide further details.

Rashi comment
|
Gn25-24
|
And when her pregnancy was full , behold, there were twins in her womb.
|
when full versus when she delivered implies a full 9 month pregnancy.
|
Gn38-27
|
And it came to pass at the time of her delivery, that, behold, twins were in her womb.
|
when she delivered vs. when full implies a possibly premature birth.
|
Sermonic points:
Rivkah had a pregnancy through marriage while Tamar had a pregnancy through an affair.
The stresses of out-of-marriage pregnancy can prevent a normal gestation period and
contribute to a premature birth. A pregnancy through marriage encourages normal delivery
patterns.
