Genesis 27

Studie

   

1 At nangyari, nang matanda na si Isaac, at malabo na ang kaniyang mga mata, na ano pa't hindi na siya makakita, ay tinawag si Esau na kaniyang anak na panganay, at sinabi sa kaniya, Anak ko: at kaniyang sinabi, Narito ako.

2 At sinabi niya, Narito, ako'y matanda, at hindi ko nalalaman ang kaarawan ng aking kamatayan.

3 Ngayon nga'y kunin mo ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ang iyong almas, ang iyong lalagyan ng pana, at ang iyong busog, at lumabas ka sa parang, at ihuli mo ako ng usa;

4 At igawa mo ako ng masarap na pagkain, na aking ibig, at dalhin mo rito sa akin, upang ako'y kumain; upang ikaw ay basbasan ko bago ako mamatay.

5 At pinakikinggan ni Rebeca nang nagsasalita si Isaac kay Esau na kaniyang anak. At naparoon si Esau sa parang upang manghuli ng usa, at upang madala.

6 At isinaysay ni Rebeca kay Jacob na kaniyang anak na sinasabi, Narito, narinig ko ang iyong ama na nagsasalita kay Esau na iyong kapatid, na sinasabi,

7 Dalhan mo ako ng usa, at igawa mo ako ng pagkaing masarap, upang ako'y kumain, at ikaw ay aking basbasan sa harap ng Panginoon, bago ako mamatay,

8 Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig, ayon sa iniutos ko sa iyo.

9 Pumaroon ka ngayon sa kawan, at dalhin mo rito sa akin ang dalawang mabuting anak ng kambing; at gagawin kong masarap na pagkain sa iyong ama, ayon sa kaniyang ibig.

10 At dadalhin mo sa iyong ama, upang kumain, ano pa't ikaw ay kaniyang basbasan bago siya mamatay.

11 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Rebeca na kaniyang ina, Narito, si Esau na aking kapatid ay taong mabalahibo, at ako'y taong makinis.

12 Marahil ay hihipuin ako ng aking ama, at aariin niya akong parang nagdaraya sa kaniya; at ang aking mahihita ay sumpa at hindi basbas.

13 At sinabi sa kaniya ng kaniyang ina, Sa akin mapunta ang sumpa sa iyo, anak ko: sundin mo lamang ang aking tinig, at yumaon ka, na dalhin mo sa akin.

14 At siya'y yumaon at dinala sa kaniyang ina: at gumawa ang kaniyang ina ng masarap na pagkain, na ibig ng kaniyang ama.

15 At kinuha ni Rebeca ang mainam na damit ni Esau, na kaniyang anak na panganay, na nasa kaniya sa bahay, at isinuot kay Jacob na kaniyang bunsong anak:

16 At ang mga balat ng mga anak ng kambing ay ibinalot sa kaniyang mga kamay, at sa kinis ng kaniyang leeg.

17 At kaniyang ibinigay ang pagkaing masarap, at ang tinapay na kaniyang inihanda, sa kamay ni Jacob na kaniyang anak.

18 At siya'y lumapit sa kaniyang ama, at nagsabi, Ama ko; at sinabi niya: Narito ako; sino ka, anak ko?

19 At sinabi ni Jacob sa kaniyang ama, Ako'y si Esau na iyong panganay; ginawa ko ang ayon sa sinabi mo sa akin: bumangon ka, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, maupo ka at kumain ka ng aking usa, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.

20 At sinabi ni Isaac sa kaniyang anak, Ano't kay dali mong nakasumpong, anak ko? At sinabi niya, Sapagka't binigyan ako ng mabuting kapalaran ng Panginoon mong Dios.

21 At sinabi ni Isaac kay Jacob, Lumapit ka rito, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo upang hipuin kita, anak ko, kung tunay na ikaw ang aking anak na si Esau o hindi.

22 At lumapit si Jacob kay Isaac na kaniyang ama: at hinipo siya, at sinabi, Ang tinig ay tinig ni Jacob, nguni't ang mga kamay ay mga kamay ni Esau.

23 At hindi siya nakilala, sapagka't ang kaniyang kamay ay mabalahibo, gaya ng mga kamay ni Esau na kaniyang kapatid: at sa gayo'y binasbasan siya.

24 At sinabi niya, Ikaw bang tunay ang aking anak na si Esau? At sinabi niya, Ako nga.

25 At kaniyang sinabi, Ilapit mo sa akin, at kakain ako ng usa ng aking anak, upang basbasan ka ng aking kaluluwa. At kaniyang inilapit sa kaniya at kumain siya: at siya'y dinalhan niya ng alak, at uminom.

26 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, Lumapit ka ngayon at humalik ka sa akin, anak ko.

27 At siya'y lumapit at humalik siya sa kaniya: at naamoy ng ama ang amoy ng kaniyang mga suot, at siya'y binasbasan, na sinabi, Narito, ang amoy ng aking anak Ay gaya ng amoy ng isang parang na pinagpala ng Panginoon:

28 At bigyan ka ng Dios ng hamog ng langit, At ng taba ng lupa, At ng saganang trigo at alak:

29 Ang mga bayan ay mangaglingkod nawa sa iyo. At ang mga bansa ay mangagsiyukod sa iyo: Maging panginoon ka nawa ng iyong mga kapatid, At magsiyukod sa iyo ang mga anak ng iyong ina: Sumpain nawa ang mga sumusumpa sa iyo. At maging mapapalad ang mga magpapala sa iyo.

30 At nangyari pagkatapos ng pagbabasbas ni Isaac kay Jacob, at bahagya nang kaaalis ni Jacob sa harap ni Isaac na kaniyang ama, ay dumating si Esau na kaniyang kapatid, na galing sa kaniyang panghuhuli.

31 At siya ma'y gumawa ng masarap na pagkain, at dinala niya sa kaniyang ama; at sinabi niya sa kaniyang ama, Bumangon ang ama ko, at kumain ng usa ng kaniyang anak, upang basbasan ako ng iyong kaluluwa.

32 At sinabi ni Isaac na kaniyang ama sa kaniya, Sino ka? At kaniyang sinabi, Ako ang iyong anak, ang iyong panganay na si Esau.

33 At nangilabot na mainam si Isaac, at sinabi, Sino nga yaong kumuha ng usa at dinala sa akin, at ako'y kumain niyaon bago ka dumating, at aking binasbasan siya? oo, at siya'y magiging mapalad!

34 Nang marinig ni Esau ang mga salita ng kaniyang ama ay humiyaw ng malakas at ng di kawasang kapanglawan: at sinabi sa kaniyang ama. Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko.

35 At kaniyang sinabi, Naparito ang iyong kapatid sa pamamagitan ng daya, at kinuha ang basbas sa iyo.

36 At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi ba matuwid ang pagkatawag sa kaniyang Jacob? sapagka't kaniyang inagawan ako nitong makalawa: kaniyang kinuha ang aking pagkapanganay; at, narito, ngayo'y kinuha ang basbas sa akin. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi mo ba ako ipinaglaan ng basbas.

37 At sumagot si Isaac, at sinabi kay Esau. Narito, inilagay ko siyang panginoon mo, at sa kaniya'y ibinigay kong lingkod ang lahat niyang mga kapatid; at sa trigo at sa bagong alak, ay kinandili ko siya; at sa iyo'y ano ngang magagawa ko ngayon anak ko?

38 At sinabi ni Esau sa kaniyang ama, Wala ka ba, kundi isa lamang basbas, ama ko? Basbasan mo ako, ako naman, Oh ama ko. At humiyaw si Esau at umiyak.

39 At sumagot si Isaac na kaniyang ama, at sinabi sa kaniya, Narito, magiging sadya sa taba ng lupa ang iyong tahanan, At sa hamog ng langit mula sa itaas;

40 At sa iyong tabak ay mabubuhay ka, at sa iyong kapatid ay maglilingkod ka; At mangyayari na pagka nakalaya ka, Papagpagin mo sa iyong leeg ang pamatok niya.

41 At kinapootan ni Esau si Jacob, dahil sa basbas na ibinasbas sa kaniya ng kaniyang ama; at sinasabi ni Esau sa sarili, Malapit na ang mga araw ng pagluluksa sa aking ama; kung magkagayo'y papatayin ko si Jacob na aking kapatid.

42 At ang mga salita ni Esau na kaniyang panganay ay nangaibalita kay Rebeca; at kaniyang pinasuguan at tinawag si Jacob, na kaniyang bunso at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Narito, ang iyong kapatid na si Esau ay naaaliw tungkol sa iyo, na inaakalang patayin ka.

43 Ngayon nga, anak ko, sundin mo ang aking tinig; at bumangon ka, at tumakas ka hanggang kay Laban na aking kapatid, sa Haran;

44 At dumoon ka sa kaniyang ilang araw hanggang sa mapawi ang galit ng iyong kapatid.

45 Hanggang ang galit sa iyo, ng iyong kapatid ay mapawi at malimutan niya ang ginawa mo sa kaniya: kung magkagayo'y pasusuguan kita at ipasusundo kita mula roon: bakit kapuwa mawawala kayo sa akin sa isang araw?

46 At sinabi ni Rebeca kay Isaac, Ako'y yamot na sa aking buhay, dahil sa mga anak na babae ni Heth: kung si Jacob ay magasawa sa mga anak ni Heth na gaya ng mga ito, ng mga anak ng lupaing ito, ano pang kabuluhan sa akin ng aking buhay?

3605. And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him. That this signifies that natural good was averse to the inverted conjunction of truth is evident from the signification of “hating” as here in the internal sense being to be averse to, which is the subject treated of in what follows; and from the representation of Esau, as being natural good; and of Jacob as being natural truth (concerning which above); and from the signification of a “blessing” as being conjunction (see n. 3504, 3514, 3530, 3565, 3584); that here it is an inverted conjunction of truth which is represented by Jacob is evident from what was said and shown above (n. 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563, 3570, 3576, 3603).

[2] That in the internal sense “to hate” denotes to be averse to is because it is predicated of good, which is represented by Esau, and good does not even know what hatred is, being the direct opposite thereof, and opposites are never possible in the same subject; but instead of hatred, good, or they who are in good, feel a kind of aversion; hence it is that “hatred” here in the internal sense denotes to be averse to; for the internal sense is principally for those who are in heaven, wherefore when it descends thence, and is derived into the literal sense, then, the historicals being of this nature, the affection of aversion falls into the expression “hatred,” but yet in such a way that with those who are in heaven there is no idea of hatred. This case is like that which was related from experience in volume 1875 (see n. 1875), concerning the words in the Lord’s prayer, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil”; in that temptation and evil are rejected until what is purely angelic, that is, good, remains without any idea of temptation and of evil, and this with the adjunction of a species of indignation and aversion, in regard to evil being thought of when the Lord is thought of.

[3] The case is the same when we read in the Word concerning Jehovah or the Lord “hating.” As in Zechariah:

Let none of you think evil in your heart of his neighbor; and love no lying oath; for all these are things that I hate, saith Jehovah (Zech. 8:17).

In Moses:

Thou shalt not set thee up a pillar, which Jehovah thy God hateth (Deuteronomy 16:22).

In Jeremiah:

Mine heritage is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; she hath uttered her voice against Me, therefore I have hated her (Jeremiah 12:8).

In Hosea:

In Gilgal I hated them; because of the wickedness of their works I will drive them out of Mine house; I will love them no more (Hos. 9:15).

In these passages “hatred,” predicated of Jehovah or the Lord, in the internal sense is not hatred, but mercy, for the Divine is mercy; but when this flows in with a man who is in evil, and he runs into the penalty of evil, it then appears as hatred and because it so appears, in the sense of the letter it is likewise so called.

[4] It is in the same way that “anger,” “wrath,” and “fury” are in the Word predicated of Jehovah or the Lord (concerning which, n. 245, 592, 696, 1093, 1683, 1874, 2395, 2447, 3235). Above all other peoples the Jewish and Israelitish people were such that as soon as they observed anything unfriendly, even in their associates, they believed it lawful to treat them cruelly, and not only to kill them, but also to expose them to wild beasts and birds; and therefore because the inflowing mercy of the Lord was turned with them into such hatred, not only against their enemies, but also against their companions, they could not believe otherwise than that Jehovah also entertained hatred, was angry, wrathful, and furious, and for this reason it is so expressed in the Word according to the appearance; for such as is a man’s quality, such the Lord appears to him (see n. 1838, 1861, 2706). But what the quality of hatred is with those who are in love and charity, that is, who are in good, is evident from the words of the Lord in Matthew:

Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy; but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that injure and persecute you, that ye may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens (Matthew 5:43-45).

Genesis 27

Studie

   

1 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, "My son?" He said to him, "Here I am."

2 He said, "See now, I am old. I don't know the day of my death.

3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and take me venison.

4 Make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, and that my soul may bless you before I die."

5 Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.

6 Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, "Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

7 'Bring me venison, and make me savory food, that I may eat, and bless you before Yahweh before my death.'

8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.

9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two good young goats. I will make them savory food for your father, such as he loves.

10 You shall bring it to your father, that he may eat, so that he may bless you before his death."

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

12 What if my father touches me? I will seem to him as a deceiver, and I would bring a curse on myself, and not a blessing."

13 His mother said to him, "Let your curse be on me, my son. Only obey my voice, and go get them for me."

14 He went, and got them, and brought them to his mother. His mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

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

16 She put the skins of the young goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck.

17 She gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18 He came to his father, and said, "My father?" He said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

19 Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn. I have done what you asked me to do. Please arise, sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may bless me."

20 Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" He said, "Because Yahweh your God gave me success."

21 Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

22 Jacob went near to Isaac his father. He felt him, and said, "The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

23 He didn't recognize him, because his hands were hairy, like his brother, Esau's hands. So he blessed him.

24 He said, "Are you really my son Esau?" He said, "I am."

25 He said, "Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you." He brought it near to him, and he ate. He brought him wine, and he drank.

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

27 He came near, and kissed him. He smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, "Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Yahweh has blessed.

28 God give you of the dew of the sky, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.

29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you. Be lord over your brothers. Let your mother's sons bow down to you. Cursed be everyone who curses you. Blessed be everyone who blesses you."

30 It happened, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had just gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

31 He also made savory food, and brought it to his father. He said to his father, "Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your soul may bless me."

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

33 Isaac trembled violently, and said, "Who, then, is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, he will be blessed."

34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceeding great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, my father."

35 He said, "Your brother came with deceit, and has taken away your blessing."

36 He said, "Isn't he rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. See, now he has taken away my blessing." He said, "Haven't you reserved a blessing for me?"

37 Isaac answered Esau, "Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for servants. With grain and new wine have I sustained him. What then will I do for you, my son?"

38 Esau said to his father, "Have you but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, my father." Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.

39 Isaac his father answered him, "Behold, of the fatness of the earth will be your dwelling, and of the dew of the sky from above.

40 By your sword will you live, and you will serve your brother. It will happen, when you will break loose, that you shall shake his yoke from off your neck."

41 Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. Esau said in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob."

42 The words of Esau, her elder son, were told to Rebekah. She sent and called Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, "Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself about you by planning to kill you.

43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice. Arise, flee to Laban, my brother, in Haran.

44 Stay with him a few days, until your brother's fury turns away;

45 until your brother's anger turn away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him. Then I will send, and get you from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?"

46 Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?"
