1 Και αφου εγηρασεν ο Ισαακ, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ημβλυνθησαν, ωστε δεν εβλεπεν, εκαλεσεν Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον μεγαλητερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Υιε μου. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, εγω.

2 Και εκεινος ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα, εγω εγηρασα· δεν γνωριζω την ημεραν του θανατου μου·

3 λαβε λοιπον, παρακαλω, τα οπλα σου, την φαρετραν σου και το τοξον σου, και εξελθε εις την πεδιαδα και κυνηγησον μοι κυνηγιον·

4 και καμε μοι εδεσματα καθως αγαπω, και φερε μοι να φαγω, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανω.

5 Η δε Ρεβεκκα ηκουσεν ενω ελαλει ο Ισαακ προς Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου. Και υπηγεν ο Ησαυ εις την πεδιαδα δια να κυνηγηση κυνηγιον και να φερη αυτο.

6 Και η Ρεβεκκα ελαλησε προς Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης, λεγουσα, Ιδου, εγω ηκουσα τον πατερα σου λαλουντα προς Ησαυ τον αδελφον και λεγοντα,

7 Φερε μοι κυνηγιον και καμε μοι εδεσματα, δια να φαγω, και να σε ευλογησω ενωπιον του Κυριου πριν αποθανω.

8 Τωρα λοιπον, υιε μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου εις οσα εγω σοι παραγγελλω·

9 υπαγε τωρα εις το ποιμνιον, και λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο καλα εριφια εξ αιγων· δια να καμω αυτα εδεσματα δια τον πατερα σου, καθως αγαπα·

10 και θελεις φερει αυτα προς τον πατερα σου να φαγη, δια σε ευλογηση πριν αποθανη.

11 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς Ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου, Ιδου, ο Ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ειναι ανηρ δασυτριχος, εγω δε ανηρ ατριχος·

12 ισως με ψηλαφηση ο πατηρ μου, και θελω φανη εις αυτον ως απατεων, και θελω συρει επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουχι ευλογιαν.

13 Ειπε δε προς αυτον η μητηρ αυτου, Επ' εμε η καταρα σου, τεκνον μου· μονον υπακουσον εις την φωνην μου και υπαγε, φερε μοι αυτα.

14 Και υπηγε, και ελαβε, και εφερεν αυτα προς την μητερα αυτου· και εκαμεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθως ηγαπα ο πατηρ αυτου.

15 Και λαβουσα η Ρεβεκκα τα καλητερα φορεματα Ησαυ του μεγαλητερου υιου αυτης, τα οποια ειχεν εν τη οικια, ενεδυσε με αυτα Ιακωβ, τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον·

16 και με τα δερματα των εριφιων εσκεπασε τας χειρας αυτου, και τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου·

17 και εδωκεν εις τας χειρας Ιακωβ του υιου αυτης τα εδεσματα και τον αρτον, τα οποια ητοιμασε.

18 Και ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου· και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω· τις εισαι, τεκνον μου;

19 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Εγω ειμαι Ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου· εκαμα καθως μοι ειπας, σηκωθητι λοιπον, καθισον και φαγε εκ του κυνηγιου μου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.

20 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον υιον αυτου, Ποθεν τουτο, τεκνον μου, οτι ευρηκας τοσον ταχεως; Ο δε ειπε, Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εφερεν αυτο εμπροσθεν μου.

21 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον Ιακωβ, Πλησιασον, τεκνον μου, δια να σε ψηλαφησω, αν συ ησαι αυτος ο υιος Ησαυ, η ουχι.

22 Και επλησιασεν ο Ιακωβ εις τον Ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου· ο δε εψηλαφησεν αυτον, και ειπεν, Η μεν φωνη ειναι φωνη Ιακωβ, αι δε χειρες, χειρες Ησαυ.

23 Και δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον, διοτι αι χειρες αυτου ησαν ως αι χειρες Ησαυ αδελφου αυτου, δασυτριχοι και ευλογησεν αυτον.

24 Και ειπε, Συ εισαι αυτος ο υιος μου Ησαυ; Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω.

25 Και ειπε, Φερε πλησιον μου, και θελω φαγει εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου μου, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου. Και εφερε πλησιον αυτου, και εφαγεν· εφερε δε προς αυτον οινον και επιε.

26 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Πλησιασον τωρα, και φιλησον με, τεκνον μου.

27 Και επλησιασε, και εφιλησεν αυτον· και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ενδυματων αυτου, και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν, Ιδου, η οσμη του υιου μου ειναι ως οσμη πεδιαδος, την οποιαν ευλογησεν ο Κυριος·

28 Λοιπον ο Θεος να σοι δωση απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο του παχους της γης και αφθονιαν σιτου και οινου·

29 Λαοι να σε δουλευσωσι και εθνη να σε προσκυνησωσι· να ησαι κυριος των αδελφων σου, και οι υιοι της μητρος σου να σε προσκυνησωσι· κατηραμενος οστις σε καταραται, και ευλογημενος οστις σε ευλογει

30 Και καθως επαυσεν ο Ισαακ ευλογων τον Ιακωβ, μολις ο Ιακωβ ειχεν εξελθει απ' εμπροσθεν του πατρος αυτου Ισαακ· και ηλθεν Ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου εκ του κυνηγιου αυτου.

31 Και εκαμε και αυτος εδεσματα και εφερε προς τον πατερα αυτου· και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ας σηκωθη ο πατηρ μου, και ας φαγη εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου αυτου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.

32 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Τις εισαι; Ο δε ειπεν, Ειμαι ο υιος σου, ο πρωτοτοκος σου Ησαυ.

33 Και εξεπλαγη ο Ισαακ εκπληξιν μεγαλην σφοδρα, και ειπε, Ποιος ειναι λοιπον εκεινος, οστις εκυνηγησε κυνηγιον, και μοι εφερε και εφαγον απο παντων πριν εισελθης, και ευλογησα αυτον; και ευλογημενος θελει εισθαι.

34 Οτε ηκουσεν ο Ησαυ τους λογους του πατρος αυτου, ανεκραξε κραυγην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα· και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου.

35 Ο δε ειπεν, Ηλθεν ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου, και ελαβε την ευλογιαν σου.

36 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Δικαιως εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Ιακωβ, διοτι τωρα δευτεραν ταυτην φοραν με υπεσκελισεν· ελαβε τα πρωτοτοκια μου, και ιδου, τωρα ελαβε και την ευλογιαν μου. Και ειπε, Δεν εφυλαξας δι' εμε ευλογιαν;

37 Και, απεκριθη ο Ισαακ, και ειπε προς τον Ησαυ, Ιδου, κυριον σου εκαμα αυτον, και παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εκαμα δουλους αυτου, και εστηριξα αυτον με σιτον και οινον· και τι λοιπον να καμω εις σε, τεκνον μου;

38 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Μηπως ταυτην μονην την ευλογιαν εχεις, πατερ μου; ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου. και υψωσεν ο Ησαυ την φωνην αυτου, και εκλαυσε.

39 Και απεκριθη Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, η κατοικησις σου θελει εισθαι εις το παχος της γης, και εις την δροσον του ουρανου ανωθεν·

40 και με την μαχαιραν σου θελεις ζη, και εις τον αδελφον σου θελεις δουλευσει, οταν δε υπερισχυσης, θελεις συντριψει τον ζυγον αυτου απο του τραχηλου σου.

41 Και εμισει ο Ησαυ τον Ιακωβ, δια την ευλογιαν με την οποιαν ευλογησεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου· και ειπεν ο Ησαυ εν τη καρδια αυτου, Πλησιαζουσιν αι ημεραι του πενθους του πατρος μου· τοτε θελω φονευσει Ιακωβ τον αδελφον μου.

42 Ανηγγελθησαν, δε προς την Ρεβεκκαν οι λογοι Ησαυ του υιου αυτης του μεγαλητερου· και πεμψασα εκαλεσεν Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, Ησαυ ο αδελφος σου παρηγορει εαυτον κατα σου, οτι θελει σε φονευσει.

43 Τωρα λοιπον, τεκνον μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου· και σηκωθεις, φυγε προς Λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις Χαρραν·

44 και κατοικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας, εωσου παρελθη ο θυμος του αδελφου σου·

45 εωσου παυση η κατα σου οργη του αδελφου σου, και λησμονηση τα οσα επραξας εις αυτον· τοτε θελω στειλει, και θελω σε φερει εκειθεν· δια τι να σας στερηθω και τους δυο εν μια ημερα;

46 Και ειπεν η Ρεβεκκα προς τον Ισαακ, Αηδιασα την ζωην μου εξ αιτιας των θυγατερων του Χετ· εαν ο Ιακωβ λαβη γυναικα εκ των θυγατερων του Χετ, καθως ειναι αυται εκ των θυγατερων της γης ταυτης, τι με ωφελει να ζω;

3570. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat. That this signifies the conjunction of good first; and that “he brought him wine and he drank” signifies the conjunction of truth afterwards, is evident from the signification of “eating,” as being to be conjoined and appropriated in respect to good (concerning which just above, n. 3568); and from the signification of “wine,” as being the truth which is from good (n. 1071, 1798); and from the signification of “drinking,” as being to be conjoined and appropriated in respect to truth (n. 3168). In regard to the circumstance that the good of the rational, represented by Isaac, conjoins with itself good first, and truth afterwards, and this through the natural, which is Jacob, the case is this: When the natural is in the state in which it is outwardly good and inwardly truth (n. 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563), it then admits many things which are not good, but which nevertheless are useful, being means to good in their order. But the good of the rational does not conjoin and appropriate to itself from this source anything but that which is in agreement with its own good;, for good receives nothing else, and whatever disagrees, it rejects. The rest of the things in the natural it leaves, in order that they may serve as means for admitting and introducing more things that are in agreement with itself.

[2] The rational is in the internal man, and what is there being transacted is unknown to the natural, for it is above the sphere of its observation; and for this reason the man who lives a merely natural life cannot know anything of what is taking place with him in his internal man, that is, in his rational; for the Lord disposes all such things entirely without the man’s knowledge. Hence it is that man knows nothing of how he is being regenerated, and scarcely that he is being regenerated. But if he is desirous to know this, let him merely attend to the ends which he proposes to himself, and which he rarely discloses to anyone. If the ends are toward good, that is to say, if he cares more for his neighbor and the Lord than for himself, then he is in a state of regeneration; but if the ends are toward evil, that is to say, if he cares more for himself than for his neighbor and the Lord, let him know that in this case he is in no state of regeneration.

[3] Through his ends of life a man is in the other life; through ends of good in heaven with the angels; but through ends of evil in hell with devils. The ends in a man are nothing else than his loves; for that which a man loves he has for an end; and inasmuch as his ends are his loves, they are his inmost life (n. 1317, 1568, 1571, 1645, 1909, 3425, 3562, 3565). The ends of good in a man are in his rational, and these are what are called the rational as to good, or the good of the rational. Through the ends of good, or through the good therein, the Lord disposes all things that are in the natural; for the end is as the soul, and the natural is as the body of this soul; and such as the soul is, such is the body with which it is encompassed; thus such as the rational is as to good, such is the natural with which it is invested.

[4] It is known that the soul of man commences in the ovum of the mother, and is afterwards perfected in her womb, and is there encompassed with a tender body, and this of such a nature that through it the soul may be able to act in a manner suited to the world into which it is born. The case is the same when man is born again, that is, when he is being regenerated. The new soul which he then receives is the end of good, which commences in the rational, at first as in an ovum there, and afterwards is there perfected as in a womb; the tender body with which this soul is encompassed is the natural and the good therein, which becomes such as to act obediently in accordance with the ends of the soul; the truths therein are like the fibers in the body, for truths are formed from good (n. 3470). Hence it is evident that an image of the reformation of man is presented in his formation in the womb; and if you will believe it, it is also the celestial good and spiritual truth which are from the Lord that form him and then impart the power to receive each of them successively, and this in quality and quantity precisely as like a man he looks to the ends of heaven, and not like a brute animal to the ends of the world.

[5] That the rational as to good through the natural conjoins with itself good first, and truth afterwards, which is signified by Jacob’s bringing dainties and bread to Isaac and his eating, and bringing him wine and his drinking, may also be illustrated by the offices which the body performs for its soul. It is the soul which gives to the body to have appetite for food, and also to enjoy the taste of it, the foods being introduced by means of the delight of appetite and the delight of taste, thus by means of external good; but the foods which are introduced do not all enter the life, for some serve as menstruums for digesting; some for tempering; some for opening; some for introducing into the vessels; but the good foods selected are introduced into the blood, and become blood, out of which the soul conjoins with itself such things as are of use.

[6] The case is the same with the rational and the natural: to appetite and taste correspond the desire and the affection of knowing truth; and knowledges correspond to foods (n. 1480); and because they correspond, they are circumstanced in like manner; the soul (which is the good of the rational) gives to long for and to be affected with the things which are of memory-knowledge and of doctrine, and introduces them through the delight of the longing and the good of the affection. But the things which it introduces are not all such as to become the good of life; for some serve as means for a kind of digesting and tempering; some for opening and introducing; but the goods which are of life it applies to itself, and thus conjoins them with itself, and from them forms for itself truths. From this it is evident how the rational disposes the natural, in order that it may serve it as the soul or what is the same, may serve the end, which is the soul, to perfect itself, that it may be of use in the Lord’s kingdom.
