1 εγενετο δε μετα το γηρασαι ισαακ και ημβλυνθησαν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου του οραν και εκαλεσεν ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον πρεσβυτερον και ειπεν αυτω υιε μου και ειπεν ιδου εγω

2 και ειπεν ιδου γεγηρακα και ου γινωσκω την ημεραν της τελευτης μου

3 νυν ουν λαβε το σκευος σου την τε φαρετραν και το τοξον και εξελθε εις το πεδιον και θηρευσον μοι θηραν

4 και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα ως φιλω εγω και ενεγκε μοι ινα φαγω οπως ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανειν με

5 ρεβεκκα δε ηκουσεν λαλουντος ισαακ προς ησαυ τον υιον αυτου επορευθη δε ησαυ εις το πεδιον θηρευσαι θηραν τω πατρι αυτου

6 ρεβεκκα δε ειπεν προς ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον ελασσω ιδε εγω ηκουσα του πατρος σου λαλουντος προς ησαυ τον αδελφον σου λεγοντος

7 ενεγκον μοι θηραν και ποιησον μοι εδεσματα και φαγων ευλογησω σε εναντιον κυριου προ του αποθανειν με

8 νυν ουν υιε ακουσον μου καθα εγω σοι εντελλομαι

9 και πορευθεις εις τα προβατα λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο εριφους απαλους και καλους και ποιησω αυτους εδεσματα τω πατρι σου ως φιλει

10 και εισοισεις τω πατρι σου και φαγεται οπως ευλογηση σε ο πατηρ σου προ του αποθανειν αυτον

11 ειπεν δε ιακωβ προς ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου εστιν ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ανηρ δασυς εγω δε ανηρ λειος

12 μηποτε ψηλαφηση με ο πατηρ μου και εσομαι εναντιον αυτου ως καταφρονων και επαξω επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουκ ευλογιαν

13 ειπεν δε αυτω η μητηρ επ' εμε η καταρα σου τεκνον μονον υπακουσον της φωνης μου και πορευθεις ενεγκε μοι

14 πορευθεις δε ελαβεν και ηνεγκεν τη μητρι και εποιησεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθα εφιλει ο πατηρ αυτου

15 και λαβουσα ρεβεκκα την στολην ησαυ του υιου αυτης του πρεσβυτερου την καλην η ην παρ' αυτη εν τω οικω ενεδυσεν ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον

16 και τα δερματα των εριφων περιεθηκεν επι τους βραχιονας αυτου και επι τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου

17 και εδωκεν τα εδεσματα και τους αρτους ους εποιησεν εις τας χειρας ιακωβ του υιου αυτης

18 και εισηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου ειπεν δε πατερ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω τις ει συ τεκνον

19 και ειπεν ιακωβ τω πατρι αυτου εγω ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου εποιησα καθα ελαλησας μοι αναστας καθισον και φαγε της θηρας μου οπως ευλογηση με η ψυχη σου

20 ειπεν δε ισαακ τω υιω αυτου τι τουτο ο ταχυ ευρες ω τεκνον ο δε ειπεν ο παρεδωκεν κυριος ο θεος σου εναντιον μου

21 ειπεν δε ισαακ τω ιακωβ εγγισον μοι και ψηλαφησω σε τεκνον ει συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ η ου

22 ηγγισεν δε ιακωβ προς ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου και εψηλαφησεν αυτον και ειπεν η μεν φωνη φωνη ιακωβ αι δε χειρες χειρες ησαυ

23 και ουκ επεγνω αυτον ησαν γαρ αι χειρες αυτου ως αι χειρες ησαυ του αδελφου αυτου δασειαι και ηυλογησεν αυτον

24 και ειπεν συ ει ο υιος μου ησαυ ο δε ειπεν εγω

25 και ειπεν προσαγαγε μοι και φαγομαι απο της θηρας σου τεκνον ινα ευλογηση σε η ψυχη μου και προσηγαγεν αυτω και εφαγεν και εισηνεγκεν αυτω οινον και επιεν

26 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου εγγισον μοι και φιλησον με τεκνον

27 και εγγισας εφιλησεν αυτον και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ιματιων αυτου και ηυλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν ιδου οσμη του υιου μου ως οσμη αγρου πληρους ον ηυλογησεν κυριος

28 και δωη σοι ο θεος απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο της πιοτητος της γης και πληθος σιτου και οινου

29 και δουλευσατωσαν σοι εθνη και προσκυνησουσιν σοι αρχοντες και γινου κυριος του αδελφου σου και προσκυνησουσιν σοι οι υιοι του πατρος σου ο καταρωμενος σε επικαταρατος ο δε ευλογων σε ευλογημενος

30 και εγενετο μετα το παυσασθαι ισαακ ευλογουντα ιακωβ τον υιον αυτου και εγενετο ως εξηλθεν ιακωβ απο προσωπου ισαακ του πατρος αυτου και ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου ηλθεν απο της θηρας

31 και εποιησεν και αυτος εδεσματα και προσηνεγκεν τω πατρι αυτου και ειπεν τω πατρι αναστητω ο πατηρ μου και φαγετω της θηρας του υιου αυτου οπως ευλογηση με η ψυχη σου

32 και ειπεν αυτω ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου τις ει συ ο δε ειπεν εγω ειμι ο υιος σου ο πρωτοτοκος ησαυ

33 εξεστη δε ισαακ εκστασιν μεγαλην σφοδρα και ειπεν τις ουν ο θηρευσας μοι θηραν και εισενεγκας μοι και εφαγον απο παντων προ του σε ελθειν και ηυλογησα αυτον και ευλογημενος εστω

34 εγενετο δε ηνικα ηκουσεν ησαυ τα ρηματα ισαακ του πατρος αυτου ανεβοησεν φωνην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα και ειπεν ευλογησον δη καμε πατερ

35 ειπεν δε αυτω ελθων ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου ελαβεν την ευλογιαν σου

36 και ειπεν δικαιως εκληθη το ονομα αυτου ιακωβ επτερνικεν γαρ με ηδη δευτερον τουτο τα τε πρωτοτοκια μου ειληφεν και νυν ειληφεν την ευλογιαν μου και ειπεν ησαυ τω πατρι αυτου ουχ υπελιπω μοι ευλογιαν πατερ

37 αποκριθεις δε ισαακ ειπεν τω ησαυ ει κυριον αυτον εποιησα σου και παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εποιησα αυτου οικετας σιτω και οινω εστηρισα αυτον σοι δε τι ποιησω τεκνον

38 ειπεν δε ησαυ προς τον πατερα αυτου μη ευλογια μια σοι εστιν πατερ ευλογησον δη καμε πατερ κατανυχθεντος δε ισαακ ανεβοησεν φωνην ησαυ και εκλαυσεν

39 αποκριθεις δε ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου ειπεν αυτω ιδου απο της πιοτητος της γης εσται η κατοικησις σου και απο της δροσου του ουρανου ανωθεν

40 και επι τη μαχαιρη σου ζηση και τω αδελφω σου δουλευσεις εσται δε ηνικα εαν καθελης και εκλυσεις τον ζυγον αυτου απο του τραχηλου σου

41 και ενεκοτει ησαυ τω ιακωβ περι της ευλογιας ης ευλογησεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου ειπεν δε ησαυ εν τη διανοια εγγισατωσαν αι ημεραι του πενθους του πατρος μου ινα αποκτεινω ιακωβ τον αδελφον μου

42 απηγγελη δε ρεβεκκα τα ρηματα ησαυ του υιου αυτης του πρεσβυτερου και πεμψασα εκαλεσεν ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον και ειπεν αυτω ιδου ησαυ ο αδελφος σου απειλει σοι του αποκτειναι σε

43 νυν ουν τεκνον ακουσον μου της φωνης και αναστας αποδραθι εις την μεσοποταμιαν προς λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις χαρραν

44 και οικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας εως του αποστρεψαι τον θυμον

45 και την οργην του αδελφου σου απο σου και επιλαθηται α πεποιηκας αυτω και αποστειλασα μεταπεμψομαι σε εκειθεν μηποτε ατεκνωθω απο των δυο υμων εν ημερα μια

46 ειπεν δε ρεβεκκα προς ισαακ προσωχθικα τη ζωη μου δια τας θυγατερας των υιων χετ ει λημψεται ιακωβ γυναικα απο των θυγατερων της γης ταυτης ινα τι μοι ζην

3614. Until thy brother’s wrath turn away. That this signifies until the state turns thereto; and that “until thy brother’s anger turn away from thee” signifies what is successive of the state with natural good, is evident from the signification of “wrath” and “anger,” as being states which are repugnant, as will be shown in what follows. When these states become such that they are no longer repugnant, but begin to conjoin themselves, it is then said that “wrath turns away,” and that “anger turns away;” hence it is that “until thy brother’s wrath turns away” signifies until the state turns thereto; and that “until thy brother’s anger turn away” signifies what is successive of the state with natural good. That “wrath” involves one thing, and “anger” another, may be seen from the words being in other respects alike, and that otherwise there would be an idle repetition, namely, “until thy brother’s wrath turn away” and “until thy brother’s anger turn away.” What is implied in each expression is manifest from the general explication, and also from the predication of wrath and the predication of anger; for “wrath” is predicated of truth, here of the truth of good, which is represented by Esau; whereas “anger” is predicated of this good itself.

[2] “Wrath” and “anger” are frequently mentioned in the Word, but in the internal sense they do not signify wrath and anger, but repugnance, and this for the reason that whatever is repugnant to any affection produces wrath or anger, so that in the internal sense they are only repugnances; but the repugnance of truth is called “wrath,” and the repugnance of good is called “anger;” and in the opposite sense “wrath” is the repugnance of falsity or its affection, that is, of the principles of falsity; and “anger” is the repugnance of evil or its cupidity, that is, of the love of self and the love of the world. In this sense “wrath” is properly wrath, and “anger” is anger; but when they are predicted of good and truth, “wrath” and “anger” are zeal; which zeal, because in external form it appears like wrath and anger, therefore in the sense of the letter is also so called.

[3] That in the internal sense “wrath” and “anger” are merely repugnances, may be seen from the following passages in the Word.

In Isaiah:

Jehovah hath heat against all the nations, and wrath against all their army (Isaiah 34:2).

The “heat of Jehovah against the nations” denotes repugnance against evil (that “nations” are evils, see above, n. 1259-1260, 1849, 1868, 2588); “wrath against all their army” denotes repugnance against the derivative falsities (that the “stars,” which are called the “army of the heavens,” are knowledges, and thus truths and in the opposite sense falsities, may be seen above, n. 1128,, 1808, 2120, 2495, 2849). Again:

Who gave Jacob for a prey, and Israel to the spoilers? Did not Jehovah? He against whom we have sinned? Therefore He poured upon him the wrath, of His anger (Isaiah 42:24-25).

The “wrath, of anger” denotes repugnance against the falsity of evil; “Jacob,” those who are in evil; and “Israel,” those who are in falsity.

[4] Again:

I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with Me; and I have trodden them in Mine anger, and destroyed them in My wrath; and I trampled the peoples in Mine anger, and made them drunk in My wrath (Isaiah 63:3, 6); where the Lord is treated of and his victories in temptations; to “tread and trample in anger” denotes victories over evils; and to “destroy and make drunk in wrath,” victories over falsities; to “trample upon,” in the Word, is predicated of evil; and to “make drunken,” of falsity.

In Jeremiah:

Thus saith the Lord Jehovih, Behold, Mine anger and My wrath shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the tree of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn and shall not be quenched (Jeremiah 7:20); where mention is made of both “anger” and “wrath,” because both evil and falsity are treated of.

[5] It is usual with the Prophets in speaking of evil to speak also of falsity, as in speaking of good to speak also of truth, and this because of the heavenly marriage, which is the marriage of good and truth, in everything of the Word (see n. 683, 793, 801, 2173, 2516, 2712); hence also both “anger” and “wrath” are mentioned; otherwise one term would have been sufficient. In the same prophet:

I myself will fight with you with an outstretched hand and with a strong arm, even in anger, and in wrath, and in great heat; and I will smite the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast (Jeremiah 21:5-6).

Here in like manner “anger” is predicated of the punishment of evil, and “wrath” of the punishment of falsity, and “heat” of the punishment of both; “anger” and “wrath,” because they denote repugnance, also denote punishment; for things which are repugnant come into collision, and then evil and falsity are punished; for in evil there is repugnance to good, and in falsity there is repugnance to truth; and because there is repugnance, there is also collision; that from this comes punishment may be seen above (n. 696, 967).

[6] In Ezekiel:

Thus shall Mine anger be consummated, and I will make My wrath to rest upon them, and I will comfort Myself, and they shall know that I Jehovah have spoken in My zeal when I have consummated My wrath upon them, when I shall do judgments in thee in anger and in wrath and in the reproofs of wrath (Ezekiel 5:13, 15); where also “anger” denotes the punishment of evil; “wrath,” the punishment of falsity, from its repugnance and consequent attack.

In Moses:

It shall not please Jehovah to pardon him, because then the anger of Jehovah and his zeal shall smoke against that man. And Jehovah shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel. The whole land thereof shall be brimstone and salt, and a burning; it shall not be sown, and shall not bud, neither shall therein any herb come up; like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in His anger and in His wrath; and all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this land? What meaneth the heat of this great anger? (Deuteronomy 29:20-24).

Inasmuch as “Sodom” denotes evil, and “Gomorrah” the derivative falsity (n. 2220, 2246, 2322), and the nation of which Moses here speaks is compared thereto in respect to evil and falsity, therefore “anger” is spoken of in respect to evil, and “wrath” in respect to falsity, and “heat of anger” in respect to both. That such things are attributed to Jehovah or the Lord is according to the appearance, because it so appears to man when he runs into evil and the evil punishes him (see n. 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1683, 1874, 2395, 2447, 3235, 3605).
