Genesis 27

Სწავლა

   

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).

1343. That “Eber” was a nation called, from Eber as its father, the Hebrew nation, and that thereby is signified the worship in general of the Second Ancient Church, is evident from those historical parts of the Word wherein it is spoken of. From that nation, because the new worship commenced there, all were called Hebrews who had a similar worship. Their worship was of the kind that was afterwards restored among the descendants of Jacob; and its chief characteristic consisted in their calling their God “Jehovah,” and in their having sacrifices. The Most Ancient Church with unanimity acknowledged the Lord, and called Him Jehovah, as is evident from the first chapters of Genesis, and elsewhere in the Word. The Ancient Church, that is, the church after the flood, also acknowledged the Lord, and called Him Jehovah, especially those who had internal worship, and were called “sons of Shem.” The others, who were in external worship, also acknowledged Jehovah, and worshiped Him. But when internal worship became external, and still more when it became idolatrous, and when each nation began to have its own god whom it worshiped, the Hebrew nation retained the name Jehovah, and called their God Jehovah; and hereby were distinguished from the other nations.

[2] Together with their external worship, the descendants of Jacob in Egypt lost this also-that they called their God Jehovah; nay, Moses himself did so; and therefore they were instructed first of all that Jehovah was the God of the Hebrews, and the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob; as may be seen from these words in Moses:

Jehovah said unto Moses, Thou shalt come in, thou and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath met with us; and now let us go, we pray thee, a three days’ journey into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God (Exodus 3:18). Again:

Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should hearken unto His voice to let Israel go? I know not Jehovah, and moreover I will not let Israel go. And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us; let us go, we pray thee, a three days’ journey into the wilderness, and we will sacrifice to Jehovah our God (Exodus 5:2-3).

[3] That together with the worship the descendants of Jacob in Egypt lost also the name of Jehovah, may be seen from these words in Moses:

Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the sons of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you, and they shall say to me, What is His name? what shall I say unto them? And God said unto Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the sons of Israel, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you; this is My name to eternity (Exodus 3:13-15).

[4] From these words it is evident that even Moses did not know Jehovah; and that they were distinguished from others by the name of Jehovah the God of the Hebrews. Hence in other places also Jehovah is called the God of the Hebrews:

Thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews hath sent me unto thee (Exodus 7:16).

Go in unto Pharaoh, and tell him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews (Exodus 9:1, 13).

And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah the God of the Hebrews (Exodus 10:3).

And in Jonah:

I am a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah the God of the heavens (Jonah 1:9).

And also in Samuel:

The Philistines heard the voice of the shouting, and said, What meaneth the voice of this great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? And they knew that the ark of Jehovah was come into the camp. And the Philistines said, Woe unto us! Who shall deliver us out of the hand of these august gods? These are the gods that smote the Egyptians with all manner of plagues in the wilderness. Be like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews (1 Samuel 4:6, 8-9).

Here also it is evident that the nations were distinguished by the gods on whose name they called, and the Hebrew nation by Jehovah.

[5] That the second essential of the worship of the Hebrew nation consisted in sacrifices, is also evident from passages cited above (Exodus 3:18; 5:2-3); as well as from the fact that the Egyptians abominated the Hebrew nation on account of this worship, as is evident from these words in Moses:

Moses said, It is not right so to do, for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to Jehovah our God; lo, shall we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will they not stone us? (Exodus 8:26).

For this reason the Egyptians so abominated the Hebrew nation that they would not eat bread with them (Genesis 43:32). It is also evident from all this that the posterity of Jacob was not the only Hebrew nation, but all who had such worship; and therefore in Joseph’s time the land of Canaan was called the land of the Hebrews:

Joseph said, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews (Genesis 40:15).

[6] That there were sacrifices among the idolaters in the land of Canaan, may be seen from many passages, for they sacrificed to their gods-to the Baals and others; and moreover Balaam, who was from Syria where Eber dwelt and whence the Hebrew nation came, not only offered sacrifices before the descendants of Jacob came into the land of Canaan, but also called Jehovah his God. That Balaam was from Syria, whence came the Hebrew nation, see Numbers 23:7; that he offered sacrifices, Numbers 22:39-40; 23:1-3, 14, 29; that he called Jehovah his God, Numbers 22:18, and throughout the chapter. What is said of Noah (Genesis 8:20), that he offered burnt-offerings to Jehovah, is not true history, but is history so made up, because by burnt-offerings there is signified the holy of worship, as may there be seen. From all this it is now evident what is signified by “Ber,” or by the Hebrew nation.
