Postanak 27

Studie

   

1 Kad Isak ostare i oči mu potamneše, te ne videše, dozva Isava starijeg sina svog, i reče mu: Sine! A on odgovori: Evo me.

2 Tada reče: Evo ostareo sam, ne znam kad ću umreti;

3 Uzmi oružje svoje, tul i luk, i izađi u planinu, te mi ulovi lov;

4 I zgotovi mi jelo po mojoj volji, i donesi mi da jedem, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja dok nisam umro.

5 A Reveka ču šta Isak reče sinu svom Isavu. I Isav otide u planinu da ulovi lov i donese.

6 A Reveka reče Jakovu, sinu svom govoreći: Gle, čuh oca tvog gde govori s Isavom, bratom tvojim i reče:

7 Donesi mi lov, i zgotovi jelo da jedem, pa da te blagoslovim pred Gospodom dok nisam umro.

8 Nego sada, sine, poslušaj me šta ću ti kazati.

9 Idi sada k stadu i donesi dva dobra jareta, da zgotovim ocu tvom jelo od njih, kako rado jede.

10 Pa ćeš uneti ocu da jede i da te blagoslovi dok nije umro.

11 A Jakov reče Reveci materi svojoj: Ali je Isav brat moj rutav, a ja sam gladak;

12 Može me opipati otac, pa će se osetiti da sam ga hteo prevariti, te ću navući na se prokletstvo mesto blagoslova.

13 A mati mu reče: Neka prokletstvo tvoje, sine padne na mene; samo me poslušaj, i idi i donesi mi.

14 Tada otišavši uze i donese materi svojoj; a mati njegova zgotovi jelo kako jeđaše rado otac njegov.

15 Pa onda uze Reveka najlepše haljine starijeg sina svog, koje behu u nje kod kuće, i obuče Jakova mlađeg sina svog.

16 I jarećim kožicama obloži mu ruke i vrat gde beše gladak.

17 I dade Jakovu sinu svom u ruke jelo i hleb što zgotovi.

18 A on uđe k ocu svom i reče: Oče. A on odgovori: Evo me; koji si ti, sine?

19 I Jakov reče ocu svom: Ja, Isav tvoj prvenac; učinio sam kako si mi rekao; digni se, posadi se da jedeš lov moj, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.

20 A Isak reče sinu svom: Kad brže nađe, sine? A on reče: Gospod Bog tvoj dade, te izađe preda me.

21 Tada reče Isak Jakovu: Hodi bliže, sine da te opipam jesi li sin moj Isav ili ne.

22 I pristupi Jakov k Isaku ocu svom, a on ga opipa, pa reče: Glas je Jakovljev, ali ruke su Isavove.

23 I ne pozna ga, jer mu ruke behu kao u Isava brata njegovog rutave: Zato ga blagoslovi;

24 I reče mu: Jesi li ti sin moj Isav? A on odgovori: Ja sam.

25 Tada reče: A ti daj, sine, da jedem lov tvoj, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja. I dade mu, te jede; pa mu donese i vino te pi.

26 Potom Isak, otac njegov reče mu: Hodi sine, celivaj me.

27 I on pristupi i celiva ga; a Isak oseti miris od haljina njegovih, i blagoslovi ga govoreći: Gle, miris sina mog kao miris od polja koje blagoslovi Gospod.

28 Bog ti dao rose nebeske, i dobre zemlje i pšenice i vina izobila!

29 Narodi ti služili i plemena ti se klanjala! Bio gospodar braći svojoj i klanjali ti se sinovi matere tvoje! Proklet bio koji tebe usproklinje, a blagosloven koji tebe uzblagosilja!

30 A kad Isak blagoslovi Jakova, i Jakov otide ispred Isaka oca svog, u taj čas dođe Isav brat njegov iz lova.

31 Pa zgotovi i on jelo i unese ocu svom, i reče mu: Ustani, oče, da jedeš šta ti je sin ulovio, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.

32 A Isak otac njegov reče mu: Ko si ti? A on reče: Ja, sin tvoj, prvenac tvoj Isav.

33 Tada se prepade Isak, i reče: Ko? Da gde je onaj koji ulovi i donese mi lova, i od svega jedoh pre nego ti dođe, i blagoslovih ga? On će i ostati blagosloven.

34 A kad ču Isav reči oca svog, vrisnu glasno i ožalosti se veoma, i reče ocu svom: Blagoslovi i mene, oče.

35 A on mu reče: Dođe brat tvoj s prevarom, i odnese tvoj blagoslov.

36 A Isav reče: Pravo je što mu je ime Jakov, jer me većdrugom prevari. Prvenaštvo mi uze, pa eto sada mi uze i blagoslov. Potom reče: Nisi li i meni ostavio blagoslov?

37 A Isak odgovori, i reče Isavu: Eto sam ga postavio tebi za gospodara; i svu braću njegovu dadoh mu da mu budu sluge; pšenicom i vinom ukrepih ga; pa šta bih sada tebi učinio, sine?

38 I Isav reče ocu svom: Eda li je samo jedan blagoslov u tebe, oče? Blagoslovi i mene, oče. I stade glasno plakati Isav.

39 A Isak otac njegov odgovarajući reče mu: Evo, stan će ti biti na rodnoj zemlji i rosi nebeskoj ozgo.

40 Ali ćeš živeti od mača svog, i bratu ćeš svom služiti; ali će doći vreme, te ćeš pošto se naplačeš skršiti jaram njegov s vrata svog.

41 I Isav omrze ljuto na Jakova radi blagoslova, kojim ga blagoslovi otac, i govoraše u srcu svom: Blizu su žalosni dani oca mog, tada ću ubiti Jakova brata svog.

42 I kazaše Reveci reči Isava sina njenog starijeg, a ona poslavši dozva Jakova mlađeg sina svog, i reče mu: Gle, Isav brat tvoj teši se time što hoće da te ubije.

43 Nego, sine, poslušaj šta ću ti kazati; ustani i beži k Lavanu bratu mom u Haran.

44 I ostani kod njega neko vreme dokle prođe srdnja brata tvog,

45 Dokle se gnev brata tvog odvrati od tebe, te zaboravi šta si mu učinio; a onda ću ja poslati da te dovedu odande. Zašto bih ostala bez obojice vas u jedan dan?

46 A Isaku reče Reveka: Omrzao mi je život radi ovih Hetejaka. Ako se Jakov oženi Hetejkom, kakvom između kćeri ove zemlje, na šta mi život?

3490. Genesis 27

1. And so it was, that Isaac was old and his eyes were becoming dark so that he could not see; and he called Esau his elder son and said to him, My son; and he said to him, Here I am.

2. And he said, Behold now, I am old; I do not know the day of my death.

3. And now take, I beg you, your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt venison for me.

4. And make me savoury food such as I love, and bring it to me, and I will eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die.

5. And Rebekah was listening to Isaac while he spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, to bring it [home].

6. And Rebekah said to Jacob her son - she said - Behold, I listened to your father speaking to Esau your brother, saying,

7. Bring me venison, and make me savoury food, and I will eat, and I will bless you before Jehovah, before my death.

8. And now, my son, hearken to my voice, to what I command you.

9. Go now to the flock, and take for me from there two good kids of the she-goats, and I will make them into savoury food for your father, such as he loves.

10. And bring it to your father, and let him eat, so that he may bless you before his death.

11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

12. Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall be in his eyes as one who misleads, and I shall bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing.

13. And his mother said to him, Upon me be your curse, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take them for me.

14. And he went and took them, and brought them to his mother; and his mother made savoury food such as his father loved.

15. And Rebekah took the best clothes 1 of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

16. And she put the skins of the kids of the she-goats on his hands and on the smooth of his neck.

17. And she gave the savoury food and the bread which she had made into the hand of Jacob her son.

18. And he went to his father, and said, My father. And he said, Behold, here I am; who are you, my son?

19. And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done what you told me. Rise up now; sit, and eat from my venison, so that your soul may bless me.

20. And Isaac said to his son, Why have you found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God caused it to come before my face.

21. And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near now, and I will feel you, my son, whether you are my son Esau, or not.

22. And Jacob came near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, and the hands Esau's hands.

23. And he did not recognize him because his hands were hairy like the hands of Esau his brother; and he blessed him.

24. And he said, Are you my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

25. And he said, Bring it to me, and I will eat from my son's venison, so that my soul may bless you. And he brought it to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

26. And Isaac his father said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

27. And he came near and kissed him. And he smelled the odour of his clothes, and he blessed him, and he said, See, the odour of my son, like the odour of the field that Jehovah has blessed.

28. And God will give to you of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the land, and abundance of grain and of new wine.

29. Peoples will serve you, and peoples will bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers, and your mother's sons will bow down to you. Cursed are those cursing you, and blessed those blessing you.

30. And so it was, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had only just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

31. And he too made savoury food, and brought it to his father; and he said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat from his son's venison, so that your soul may bless me.

32. And Isaac his father said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.

33. And Isaac trembled very greatly, and he said, Who then is he who has hunted venison and brought it to me, and I have eaten from all of it before you came in, and have blessed him? Indeed, he will be blessed!

34. Even as Esau heard his father's words, he cried out with a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, me also, my father.

35. And he said, Your brother came in deceitfully, and has taken away your blessing.

36. And he said, Does he not call his name Jacob? And he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?

37. And Isaac answered, and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over you, and have given all his brothers to him as servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. And for you therefore, what shall I do, my son?

38. And Esau said to his father, Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, me also, my father. And Esau raised his voice, and wept.

39. And Isaac his father answered, and said to him, Behold, of the fatness of the land will be your dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above.

40. And by your sword you will live, and you will serve your brother; and it will be when you have dominion over him, that you will break his yoke from above your neck.

41. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him; and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are approaching, and I will kill Jacob my brother.

42. And the words of Esau her elder son were pointed out to Rebekah, and she sent and summoned Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, Esau your brother is consoling himself concerning you [by planning] to kill you.

43. And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran.

44. And stay with him for a few days, until your brother's wrath turns back,

45. Until your brother's anger turns back from you, and he forgets what you have done to him, and I send and fetch you from there. Why should I be bereft of you both in one day?

46. And Rebekah said to Isaac, I loathe my life on account of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these of the daughters of the land, what would life hold for me?

CONTENTS

Previously, where Isaac and Rebekah were the subject, the internal sense dealt with the Rational and how the Lord had made it Divine within Himself. The internal sense now deals with the Natural and how the Lord made that Divine within Himself. Esau is the good, Jacob the truth, of the Natural, for while He was in the world the Lord did indeed make Divine within Himself His entire Human, both that which is interior, namely the Rational, and that which is exterior, namely the Natural, and the Bodily as well. He did so according to Divine order. According to the same order also the Lord renews or regenerates man, and this is why the representative sense here deals with a person's regeneration as regards his natural. In that sense also Esau is the good of the natural, and Jacob its truth. Nevertheless both are Divine because all good and truth that a regenerate person has come from the Lord.
