Arcana Coelestia # 3598
3598. Since verses 34-38 are similar in content to such things as have been explained above and what they embody may be seen from what has been stated already, it is therefore superfluous to give any further explanation of their internal sense. Only what is contained in verses 39 and 40, which have to do with the blessing of Esau by Isaac his father, needs to have light cast upon it.
Genesis 27:34-38
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.
