1 Когда Исаакъ состарјлся, и притупилось зрјніе очей его, тогда онъ призвалъ старшаго сына своего Исава, и сказалъ ему: сынъ мой! сей отвјтствовалъ: вотъ я!

2 Онъ продолжалъ: вотъ я состарјлся. не знаю дня смерти моей.

3 Итакъ возьми теперь орудія твои, колчанъ твой, и лукъ твой, поди въ поле и налови мнј дичи,

4 и приготовь мнј похлебку, какъ я люблю, и принеси мнј јсть, дабы благословила тебя душа моя, прежде нежели я умру.

5 Ревекка слышала, какъ Исаакъ говорилъ сіе сыну своему Исаву. И когда Исавъ пошель въ поле достать и принесть дичи,

6 тогда Ревекка сказала сыну своему Іакову: вотъ я слышала, какъ отецъ твой говорилъ брату твоему Исаву:

7 принеси мнј дичи, и приготовь мнј похлебку; я појмъ, и благословлю тебя предъ лицемъ Іеговы, предъ смертію моею.

8 Теперь, сынъ мой, послушайся словъ моихъ въ томъ, что я прикажу тебј.

9 Поди въ стадо мелкаго скота, возми мнј оттуда два козленка хорошихъ; и я приготовлю изъ нихъ отцу твоему похлебку, какъ онъ любитъ.

10 А ты понеси отцу твоему, чтобы онъ јлъ, чтобы благословилъ тебя предъ смертію своею.

11 Но Іаковъ сказалъ Ревеккј, матери своей: Исавъ, братъ мой, весь въ волосахъ, а у меня тјло гладко;

12 можетъ статься, ощупаетъ меня отецъ мой, тогда я буду въ глазахъ его обманщикомъ, и наведу на себя проклятіе, а ее благословеніе.

13 На сіе мать отвјчала ему: на мнј пусть будетъ проклятіе твое, сынъ мой, только послушайся словъ моихъ, и поди, принеси мнј.

14 Тогда онъ пошелъ и взялъ, и принесъ матери своей; и мать его сдјлала похлебку, какъ любилъ отецъ его.

15 И взяла Ревекка богатую одежду старшаго сына своего Исава, бывшую у ней въ домј, и одјла въ нее младшаго сына своего Іакова;

16 а руки его и гладкую шею его обложила кожею козлятъ.

17 И дала приготовленную ею похлебку и хлјбъ въ руки Іакову, сыну своему.

18 Онъ вошелъ къ отцу своему, и сказалъ: батюшка! Отецъ же сказалъ: я; кто ты, сынъ мой?

19 Тогда Іаковъ сказалъ отцу своему: я Исавъ, первенецъ твой; я сдјлалъ, какъ ты сказалъ мнј; встань, сядь, и јшь, что я изловилъ, дабы благословила меня душа твоя.

20 Исаакъ спросилъ сына своего: что такъ скоро нашелъ ты, сынъ мой? Онъ отвјчалъ: потому что Іегова Богъ твой послалъ мнј на встрјчу.

21 Потомъ Исаакъ сказалъ Іакову: подойди, я ощупаю тебя, сынъ мой, ты ли сынъ мой Исавъ, или нјтъ?

22 Іаковъ подошелъ къ Исааку, отцу своему; а сей ощупалъ его, и сказалъ: голосъ, голосъ Іакова, а руки, руки Исавовы.

23 И не узналъ его, потому что руки его были, какъ руки Исава, брата его, въ волосахъ, и благословилъ его.

24 Спросилъ вновь: ты ли сынъ мой Исавъ? Онъ отвјчалъ: я.

25 Потомъ Исаакъ сказалъ: подай мнј, я појмъ, что изловилъ ты, сынъ мой, дабы благословила тебя душа моя. Іаковъ подалъ ему, и онъ јлъ; принесъ ему и вина, и онъ пилъ.

26 Наконецъ Исаакъ, отецъ его, сказалъ ему: подойди, поцјлуй меня. сынъ мой.

27 Онъ подошелъ, и поцјловалъ его. И ощутилъ Исаакъ запахъ отъ одежды его, и благословилъ его, говоря: Вотъ, запахъ отъ сына моего, какъ запахъ отъ поля, Которое благословилъ Іегова.

28 Итакъ, да дастъ тебј Богъ росу съ небесъ, и тука земли, И множество хлјба и вина.

29 Да покорствуютъ тебј народы, И да поклонятся тебј племена; Будь господинъ надъ братьями твоими, И да поклонятся тебј сыны матери твоей; Проклинающіе тебя - прокляты; Благословляющіе тебя - благословенны!

30 Какъ скоро совершилъ Исаакъ благословеніе надъ Іаковомъ; и какъ только вышелъ Іаковъ отъ лица Исаака, отца своего, тотчасъ Исавъ, братъ его, пришелъ съ ловли своей.

31 Приготовилъ и онъ похлебку, и принесъ отцу своему, и сказалъ отцу своему: встань, батюшка; појшь, что изловилъ сынъ твой, дабы благословила меня душа твоя.

32 Но Исаакъ, отецъ его, сказалъ ему: кто ты? Онъ отвјчалъ: я сынъ твой, первенецъ твой, Исавъ.

33 Тогда Исаакъ вострепеталъ весьма великимъ трепетомъ, и сказалъ: ктожъ это, который досталъ дичи и принесъ мнј, и я јлъ все, прежде нежели ты пришелъ, и я благословилъ его? Онъ и будетъ благословенъ!

34 Исавъ, выслушавъ слова отца своего, поднялъ громкій и весьма жалостный вопль, и сказалъ отцу своему: родитель мой! благослови и меня!

35 Но онъ сказалъ: братъ твой пришелъ съ хитростію и взялъ благословеніе твое.

36 Тогда Исавъ сказалъ: не даромъ дали ему имя: Іаковъ; онъ запнулъ меня уже два раза; онъ взялъ первородство мое, и вотъ, теперь взялъ благословеніе мое. И говорилъ: неужели ты не оставилъ мнј благословенія?

37 Исаакъ сказалъ въ отвјтъ Исаву: вотъ я поставилъ его господииомъ надъ тобою, и всјхъ братьевъ его отдалъ ему въ рабы; и снабдилъ его хлјбомъ и виномъ: что же я сдјлаю тебј, сынъ мой?

38 Но Исавъ сказалъ отцу своему: неужели, батюшка. одно это у тебя благословеніе? благослови и мена, батюшка! И поднялъ Исавъ вопль, и сталъ плакать.

39 Тогда отвјтствовалъ ему Исаакъ, отецъ его, и сказалъ ему: Вотъ, будетъ въ мјстахъ обитанія твоего тукъ земли, И роса небесная свыше;

40 Но ты будешь жить мечемъ твоимъ, И будешь рабомъ брату твоему; Но будетъ время, что ты, воспротивясь, Свергнешь иго его съ выи твоей.

41 И возненавидјлъ Исавъ Іакова за благословеніе, которымъ благословилъ его отецъ его; и сказалъ Исавъ въ сердцј своемъ: скоро придутъ дни плача по отцј моемъ, тогда я убъю Іакова, брата моего.

42 Когда Ревеккј пересказаиы были слова Исава, старшаго сына ея; то она послала, и призвала младшаго сына своего Іакова, и сказала ему: вотъ, Исавъ, братъ твой, грозитъ убить тебя.

43 Итакъ, сынъ мой, послушайся словъ моихъ; встань, бјги къ Лавану, брату моему, въ Харранъ;

44 и поживи у него нјсколько времени, пока утолится ярость брата твоего,

45 пока пройдетъ гнјвъ брата твоего на тебя, и онъ позабудеть, что ты сдјлалъ ему. Тогда я пошлю, и возьму тебя оттуда. Ибо для чего мнј въ одинъ день лишиться обоихъ васъ?

46 Потомъ Ревекка сказала Исааку: мнј жизнь скучна отъ дочерей Хеттейскихъ; если Іаковъ возьметъ жену изъ дочерей Хеттейскихъ, каковы эти, изъ дочерей этой земли; то что мнј и въ жизни?

3590. 'And he said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat from his son's venison' means so that it might make truth acquired from natural good its own. This is clear from the representation of Isaac, to whom 'father' refers here, as the good of the rational, often dealt with already, from the meaning of 'eating' as making one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), and from the meaning of 'venison' as truth acquired from natural good, dealt with just above in 3588.

Arcana Coelestia # 2187

2187. 'And they ate' means communication in this manner. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated, and also being joined together, as is also evident from the Word. The injunction that Aaron, and his sons the Levites, and also the people were to eat the consecrated elements of the sacrifices in a holy place meant nothing other than the communication, conjunction, and making one's own, as stated above in 2177, at the point where Leviticus 6:16-17, is referred to. For it was celestial and spiritual food that was meant by the consecrated elements, and thus making that food their own by eating those elements. These consecrated elements were those parts of the sacrifices which were not burned on the altar but were eaten either by the priests or by the people who brought the offering, as becomes clear from very many places where the sacrifices are the subject. The consecrated elements that were to be eaten by the priests are referred to in Exodus 29:32-33; Leviticus 6:16, 26; 7:6, 15-16, 18; 8:31; 10:12-13; Numbers 18:9-11; and those to be eaten by the people, in Leviticus 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:27; 27:7; and elsewhere. And that those who were unclean were not to eat of them is referred to in Leviticus 7:19-21; 22:4-7. These ritual feasts took place in a holy place near the altar, either at the gate or in the court outside the tent. And they meant nothing else than the communication, conjunction, and making of celestial goods one's own, for those feasts represented celestial food. For what celestial food is, see 56-58, 680, 681, 1480, 1695. And all those consecrated elements were called 'bread', for the meaning of which see above in 2165. Something similar was represented by Aaron and his sons eating the loaves of the presence, or the shewbread, in a holy place, Leviticus 24:9.

[2] The reason for the law given to the Nazirite that during the days of his Naziriteship he was forbidden to eat anything that is produced from the grape - from which wine is made - from pips even to skin, Numbers 6:4, is that the Nazirite represented the celestial man, and the celestial man is such as is not willing even to mention spiritual things, see Volume One, in 202, 337, 880 (end), 1647. And because 'wine' and 'the grape', and also whatever came from the grape, meant that which is spiritual, the Nazirite was therefore forbidden to eat of them, that is, to have any communication with spiritual things, to join himself to them, or to make them his own.

[3] Something similar is meant by 'eating' in Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters, and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Hearken diligently to Me and eat what is good, and your soul will delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2.

And also what is said in John,

To him who conquers I will grant to eat from the tree of life which is in the middle of the Paradise of God. Revelation 2:7.

'The tree of life' is the celestial itself, and in the highest sense it is the Lord Himself since He is the source of everything celestial, that is, of all love and charity. Thus 'eating from the tree of life' is the same as feeding on the Lord; and 'feeding on the Lord' is being endowed with love and charity, thus with those things that belong to heavenly life, as the Lord Himself declares in John,

I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats of this bread he will live for ever. He who feeds on Me will live through Me. John 6:51, 57. But they said, This is a hard saying. Jesus said however, The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:60, 63.

From this it is evident what is meant by 'eating' in the Holy Supper, Matthew 26:26-28; Mark 14:22-23; Luke 22:19-20 - having communication, being joined together, and making one's own.

[4] From this it is also plain what is meant by the Lord's statement that

Many will come from the east and from the west and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Matthew 8:11.

The Lord did not mean that they were going to feast with these three in the kingdom of God but that they were to enjoy the celestial goods meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. That is to say, they were to enjoy the inmost celestial goods of love, meant by -Abraham'; also a lower type of goods, which are intermediate, as those are which belong to the rational, meant by 'Isaac'; and a still lower type of goods which are celestial-natural, such as occur in the first heaven, meant by 'Jacob'. These are the things which constitute the internal sense of these words. That such things are meant by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, see 1893, and wherever else they are the subject. For whether one speaks of enjoying those celestial things, or whether one speaks of enjoying the Lord, whom they represent, it amounts to the same since the Lord is the source of all those things, and the Lord is their All in all.
