Génesis 27

1 Y aconteció que cuando Isaac envejeció, y sus ojos se oscurecieron de vista, llamó a Esaú, su hijo el mayor, y le dijo: Mi hijo. Y él respondió: Heme aquí.

2 Y él dijo: He aquí ya soy viejo, no sé el día de mi muerte.

3 Toma, pues, ahora tus armas, tu aljaba y tu arco, y sal al campo, y cógeme caza;

4 y hazme guisados, como yo amo, y tráemelo, y comeré; para que te bendiga mi alma antes que muera.

5 Y Rebeca oyó, cuando hablaba Isaac a Esaú su hijo; y se fue Esaú al campo para coger la caza que había de traer.

6 Entonces Rebeca habló a Jacob su hijo, diciendo: He aquí yo he oído a tu padre que hablaba con Esaú tu hermano, diciendo:

7 Tráeme caza, y hazme guisados, para que coma, y te bendiga delante del SEÑOR, antes que muera.

8 Ahora pues, hijo mío, escucha mi voz en lo que te mando:

9 Ve ahora al ganado, y tómame de allí dos cabritos buenas de las cabras, y yo haré de ellos guisados para tu padre, como él ama;

10 y tú los llevarás a tu padre, y comerá, para que te bendiga antes de su muerte.

11 Y Jacob dijo a Rebeca su madre: He aquí Esaú mi hermano es hombre velloso, y yo hombre sin pelos;

12 por ventura me tentará mi padre, y me tendrá por burlador, y traeré sobre mí maldición y no bendición.

13 Y su madre respondió: Hijo mío, sobre mí sea tu maldición; solamente obedece mi voz, y ve, y tómalos.

14 Entonces él fue, y los tomó, y los trajo a su madre; y su madre hizo guisados, como su padre los amaba.

15 Y tomó Rebeca los vestidos de Esaú su hijo mayor, los preciosos, que ella tenía en casa, y vistió a Jacob, su hijo menor:

16 Y le hizo vestir sobre sus manos y sobre la cerviz donde no tenía pelos, las pieles de los cabritos de las cabras;

17 y dio los guisados y pan que había aderezado, en mano de Jacob su hijo.

18 Y él fue a su padre, y dijo: padre mío; y él respondió: Heme aquí, ¿quién eres, hijo mío?

19 Y Jacob dijo a su padre: Yo soy Esaú tu primogénito; he hecho como me dijiste; levántate ahora, y come de mi caza, para que me bendiga tu alma.

20 Entonces Isaac dijo a su hijo: ¿Qué es esto, que tan presto hallaste hijo mío? Y él respondió: Porque el SEÑOR tu Dios hizo que se encontrase delante de mí.

21 E Isaac dijo a Jacob: Acércate ahora, y te palparé, hijo mío, si eres mi hijo Esaú o no.

22 Y se acercó Jacob a su padre Isaac; y él le palpó, y dijo: La voz es la voz de Jacob, mas las manos son las manos de Esaú.

23 Y no le conoció, porque sus manos eran vellosas como las manos de Esaú; y le bendijo.

24 Y dijo: ¿Eres tú mi hijo Esaú? Y él respondió: Yo soy .

25 Y dijo: Acércamela, y comeré de la caza de mi hijo, para que te bendiga mi alma; y él se la acercó, y comió; le trajo también vino, y bebió.

26 Y le dijo Isaac su padre: Acércate ahora, y bésame, hijo mío.

27 Y él se llegó, y le besó; y olió Isaac el olor de sus vestidos, y le bendijo, y dijo: Mira, el olor de mi hijo, como el olor del campo que el SEÑOR ha bendecido.

28 Dios, pues, te dé del rocío del cielo, y de las grosuras de la tierra, y abundancia de trigo y de mosto.

29 Sírvante pueblos, y naciones se inclinen a ti: Sé señor de tus hermanos, e inclínense a ti los hijos de tu madre; malditos los que te maldijeren, y benditos los que te bendijeren.

30 Y aconteció, luego que hubo Isaac acabado de bendecir a Jacob, y apenas había salido Jacob de delante de Isaac su padre, que Esaú su hermano vino de su caza.

31 E hizo él también guisados, y trajo a su padre, y le dijo: Levántese mi padre, y coma de la caza de su hijo, para que me bendiga tu alma.

32 Entonces Isaac su padre le dijo: ¿Quién eres tú? Y él dijo: Yo soy tu hijo, tu primogénito, Esaú.

33 Entonces se estremeció Isaac con grande estremecimiento, y dijo: ¿Quién es el que vino aquí, que tomó caza, y me trajo, y comí de todo antes que vinieses? Yo le bendije, y será bendito.

34 Cuando Esaú oyó las palabras de su padre, clamó con una muy grande y muy amarga exclamación, y le dijo a su padre: Bendíceme también a mí, padre mío.

35 Y él dijo: Vino tu hermano con engaño, y tomó tu bendición.

36 Y él respondió: Bien llamaron su nombre Jacob, que ya me ha engañado dos veces; me tomó mi primogenitura, y he aquí ahora ha tomado mi bendición. Y dijo: ¿No has guardado bendición para mí?

37 Isaac respondió y dijo a Esaú: He aquí yo le he puesto por señor tuyo, y le he dado por siervos a todos sus hermanos; de trigo y de vino le he fortelecido, ¿qué, pues, te haré a ti ahora, hijo mío?

38 Y Esaú respondió a su padre: ¿No tienes más que una sola bendición, padre mío? Bendíceme también a mí, padre mío. Y alzó Esaú su voz, y lloró.

39 Entonces Isaac su padre habló y le dijo: He aquí será tu habitación en grosuras de la tierra, y del rocío de los cielos de arriba;

40 y por tu espada vivirás, y a tu hermano servirás; mas habrá tiempo cuando te enseñorees, y descargues su yugo de tu cerviz.

41 Y aborreció Esaú a Jacob por la bendición con que su padre le había bendecido, y dijo en su corazón: Llegarán los días del luto de mi padre, y yo mataré a Jacob mi hermano.

42 Y fueron dichas a Rebeca las palabras de Esaú su hijo mayor; y ella envió y llamó a Jacob su hijo menor, y le dijo: He aquí, Esaú tu hermano se consuela acerca de ti con la idea de matarte.

43 Ahora pues, hijo mío, escuche mi voz: levántate, y húye a Labán mi hermano, a Harán.

44 Y mora con él algunos días, hasta que el enojo de tu hermano se mitigue.

45 Hasta que se aplaque la ira de tu hermano contra ti, y se olvide de lo que le has hecho; yo enviaré entonces, y te traeré de allá, ¿por qué seré privada de vosotros ambos en un día?

46 Y dijo Rebeca a Isaac: Fastidio tengo de mi vida, a causa de las hijas de Het. Si Jacob toma mujer de las hijas de Het, como éstas, de las hijas de esta tierra, ¿para qué quiero la vida?

3525. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother. That this signifies the Lord’s perception from Divine truth concerning natural truth, is evident from the signification of “saying,” in the historicals of the Word, as being to perceive (n. 3509); from the representation of Jacob, as being natural truth (n. 3305); and from the representation of Rebekah, as being the Divine truth of the Lord’s Divine rational (n. 3012, 3013, 3077). That perception from Divine truth concerning natural truth is signified, and not perception from natural truth concerning Divine truth, according to the appearance from the sense of the letter, is because all the observation the natural exercises is from the rational; here therefore, because predicated of the Lord, the signification is “from the Divine truth of the Divine rational.”

3012. GENESIS 24

1. And Abraham being old was come into days; and Jehovah blessed Abraham in all things.

2. And Abraham said unto his servant, the elder of his house, who administered all that he had, Put I pray thy hand under my thigh.

3. And I will make thee swear by Jehovah the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a woman for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in the midst of whom I dwell;

4. But thou shalt go unto my land, and to my nativity; and take a woman for my son for Isaac.

5. And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land; bringing shall I bring back thy son unto the land whence thou camest out?

6. And Abraham said unto him, Beware that thou bring not back my son thither.

7. Jehovah the God of heaven, that took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my nativity, and that spoke unto me, and that swear unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land, He shall send His angel before thee, and thou shalt take a woman for my son from thence.

8. And if the woman be not willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this mine oath; only thou shalt not bring back my son thither.

9. And the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his lord, and sware to him concerning this word.

10. And the servant took ten camels, of the camels of his lord, and departed, and every good of his lord was in his hand; and he arose and went to Aram-naharaim, unto the city of Nahor.

11. And he made the camels kneel down, without the city, by the well of waters, about the time of evening, about the time the drawers go out.

12. And he said, O Jehovah God of my lord Abraham, cause to meet I pray before me this day; and do mercy with my lord Abraham.

13. Behold, I stand by the fountain of waters; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw waters.

14. And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink, and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also, her hast Thou appointed for Thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that Thou hast done mercy with my lord.

15. And it came to pass that scarcely had he done speaking, when behold Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

16. And the damsel was exceeding good to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her; and she went down to the fountain, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

17. And the servant ran to meet her, and said, Let me I pray sip a little water from thy pitcher.

18. And she said, Drink, my lord; and she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her hand, and made him drink.

19. And she finished making him drink, and she said, I will draw for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

20. And she hasted, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again unto the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

21. And the man marveling at her, withheld himself, to know whether Jehovah had prospered his way or not.

22. And it came to pass when the camels had done drinking, that the man took a jewel of gold, of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, ten of gold their weight.

23. And he said, Whose daughter art thou? Tell me I pray is there room in thy father’s house for us to pass the night?

24. And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bare unto Nahor.

25. And she said unto him, We have both straw and much provender, also room to pass the night.

26. And the man bent himself, and bowed himself down to Jehovah.

27. And he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of my lord Abraham, who hath not forsaken His mercy and His truth from my lord. I being in the way, Jehovah hath led me to the house of my lord’s brethren.

28. And the damsel ran, and told her mother’s house according to these words.

29. And Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban; and Laban ran out of doors unto the man, unto the fountain.

30. And it came to pass when he saw the jewel, and the bracelets upon his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spoke the man unto me, that he came unto the man; and behold he stood by the camels at the fountain.

31. And he said, Come thou blessed of Jehovah, wherefore standest thou without? For I have swept the house, and there is room for the camels.

32. And the man came into the house, and loosed the camels, and gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet, and the feet of the men that were with him.

33. And there was set before him to eat; and he said, I will not eat until I have spoken my words. And he said, Speak.

34. And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.

35. And Jehovah hath blessed my lord exceedingly, and hath made him great, and hath given him flock and herd, and silver and gold, and menservants and maidservants, and camels and asses.

36. And Sarah, my lord’s wife, bare a son to my lord after she was old; and he hath given unto him all that he hath.

37. And my lord made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a woman for my son of the daughters of the Canaanite, in whose land I dwell.

38. But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my family, and take a woman for my son.

39. And I said unto my lord, Peradventure the woman will not follow me.

40. And he said unto me, Jehovah, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with thee, and prosper thy way; and thou shalt take a woman for my son from my family, and from my father’s house.

41. Then shalt thou be clear from my oath, when thou comest to my family; and if they give not to thee, thou shalt be clear from my oath.

42. And I came this day unto the fountain, and said, O Jehovah God of my lord Abraham, if now Thou do prosper my way wherein I do walk;

43. Behold I stand by the fountain of waters; and let it come to pass that the maiden which cometh forth to draw, and to whom I shall say, Let me drink I pray a little water from thy pitcher;

44. And she shall say to me, Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy camels, let her be the woman whom Jehovah hath appointed for my lord’s son.

45. I scarcely had done speaking in mine heart, when behold Rebekah came forth; and her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down unto the fountain and drew; and I said unto her, Let me drink, I pray.

46. And she made haste, and let down her pitcher from upon her, and said, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also; and I drank, and she gave drink to the camels also.

47. And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, whom Milcah bare unto him. And I put the jewel upon her nose, and the bracelets upon her hands.

48. And I bent and bowed myself down to Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah God of my lord Abraham, who led me into the way of truth, to take the daughter of my lord’s brother for his son.

49. And now if ye will do mercy and truth with my lord, tell me; and if not, tell me; and I will look to the right hand, or to the left.

50. And Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The word hath gone forth from Jehovah; we cannot speak unto thee evil or good.

51. Behold Rebekah is before thee; take her, and go, and let her be the woman of thy lord’s son, as Jehovah hath spoken.

52. And it came to pass that when Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth unto Jehovah.

53. And the servant brought forth vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments, and gave to Rebekah; he gave also precious things to her brother and to her mother.

54. And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him; and they passed the night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my lord.

55. And her brother and her mother said, Let the damsel abide with us days, at least ten; afterwards thou shalt go.

56. And he said unto them, Do not delay me, and Jehovah hath prospered my way; send me away, and I will go to my lord.

57. And they said, Let us call the damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

58. And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.

59. And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant, and his men.

60. And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Our sister, be thou for thousands of ten thousands; and may thy seed inherit the gate of those that hate thee.

61. And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man; and the servant took Rebekah, and went away.

62. And Isaac came from coming from Beer-lahai-roi; and he dwelt in the land of the south.

63. And Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold there were camels coming.

64. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and saw Isaac, and she alighted from off the camel.

65. And she said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my lord. And she took a veil and covered herself.

66. And the servant told Isaac all the words that he had done.

67. And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah, and she was to him for a woman, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother.

THE CONTENTS

In the internal sense there is described the whole process of the conjunction of truth with good in the Lord’s Divine rational; in this chapter, the process of initiation which precedes conjunction. “Isaac” is the good of the rational; “Rebekah” here is truth to be initiated into good; “Laban” is the affection of good in the natural man.
