1 Kui Iisak oli vanaks jäänud ja ta silmanägemine oli tuhmunud, siis ta kutsus Eesavi, oma vanema poja, ja ütles temale: 'Mu poeg!' Ja see vastas temale: 'Siin ma olen!'

2 Ja ta ütles: 'Vaata, ma olen vanaks jäänud ega tea oma surmapäeva.

3 Võta nüüd oma jahiriistad, nooletupp ja amb, mine väljale ja küti mulle mõni jahiloom!

4 Valmista siis mulle maitsvat rooga, mida ma armastan, ja too mulle süüa, et mu hing sind õnnistaks, enne kui ma suren!'

5 Aga Rebeka kuulis, kui Iisak rääkis oma poja Eesaviga. Ja kui Eesav oli läinud väljale küttima ja jahisaaki tooma,

6 siis rääkis Rebeka oma poja Jaakobiga, öeldes: 'Vaata, ma kuulsin su isa rääkivat su venna Eesaviga ja ütlevat:

7 Too mulle jahisaaki ja valmista mulle maitsvat rooga, et ma söön ja sind Issanda ees õnnistan, enne kui ma suren.

8 Ja nüüd, mu poeg, kuula mu sõna ja tee, mida ma sind käsin:

9 mine karja juurde ja võta mulle sealt kaks head sikutalle ja ma valmistan need su isale maitsvaks roaks, mida ta armastab.

10 Sina vii need siis oma isale, et ta sööks ja sind õnnistaks, enne kui ta sureb!'

11 Aga Jaakob ütles oma emale Rebekale: 'Vaata, mu vend Eesav on karune, aga mina olen sile.

12 Võib-olla katsub isa mind käega, siis oleksin tema silmis nagu petis ja tooksin enesele needuse, mitte õnnistuse.'

13 Aga ta ema ütles talle: 'Sinu needmine tulgu minu peale, mu poeg! Kuula ainult mu sõna ja mine too mulle!'

14 Siis ta läks ja võttis need ning tõi oma emale; ja ta ema valmistas maitsva roa, mida ta isa armastas.

15 Ja Rebeka võttis oma vanema poja Eesavi parimad riided, mis olid ta juures kodus, ja pani need selga oma nooremale pojale Jaakobile.

16 Tema käte ja sileda kaela ümber aga pani ta sikutallede nahad.

17 Siis ta andis maitsva roa ja leiva, mille ta oli valmistanud, oma poja Jaakobi kätte,

18 ja see läks oma isa juurde ning ütles: 'Mu isa!' Ja tema vastas: 'Siin ma olen! Kumb sa oled, mu poeg?'

19 Ja Jaakob ütles oma isale: 'Mina olen Eesav, sinu esmasündinu! Ma tegin, nagu sa mind käskisid. Tõuse, istu ja söö mu jahisaaki, et su hing mind õnnistaks!'

20 Aga Iisak küsis oma pojalt: 'Kuidas sa nii kähku leidsid, mu poeg?' Ja tema vastas: 'Issand, sinu Jumal, saatis mulle ette.'

21 Siis Iisak ütles Jaakobile: 'Tule ometi ligemale, et ma sind käega katsun, mu poeg, kas sa oled mu poeg Eesav või mitte?'

22 Ja Jaakob astus oma isa Iisaki juurde, ja tema katsus teda käega ning ütles: 'Hääl on Jaakobi Hääl, aga käed on Eesavi käed!'

23 Ja ta ei tundnud teda ära, sest tema käed olid karused nagu ta venna Eesavi käed; ja ta õnnistas teda.

24 Ta küsis veel kord: 'Kas sa oled tõesti mu poeg Eesav?' Ja ta vastas: 'Olen!'

25 Siis ta ütles: 'Ulata mulle ja ma söön oma poja jahisaaki, et mu hing sind õnnistaks!' Ja ta ulatas temale selle, ja ta sõi; ja ta tõi temale veini, ja ta jõi.

26 Seejärel ütles ta isa Iisak temale: 'Tule nüüd ligemale ja anna mulle suud, mu poeg!'

27 Ja ta astus ligi ning andis temale suud; siis ta tundis tema riiete lõhna ja ta õnnistas teda ning ütles: 'Näe, mu poja lõhn - otsekui välja lõhn, mida Issand on õnnistanud!

28 Jumal andku sulle taeva kastet ja maa rammu, ning külluses vilja ja veini!

29 Rahvad orjaku sind, rahvahõimud kummardagu sind! Ole oma vendade isand, su ema pojad kummardagu sind! Neetud olgu, kes sind neab, õnnistatud, kes sind õnnistab!'

30 Ja kui Iisak oli Jaakobit õnnistanud ja kui Jaakob oli just ära läinud oma isa Iisaki juurest, siis tuli tema vend Eesav küttimast.

31 Ja temagi valmistas maitsva roa ja viis oma isa juurde ning ütles isale: 'Tõuse, mu isa, ja söö oma poja jahisaaki, et su hing mind õnnistaks!'

32 Aga tema isa Iisak küsis temalt: 'Kes sa oled?' Ja ta vastas: 'Mina olen su poeg Eesav, su esmasündinu!'

33 Siis Iisak värises väga suurest ärritusest ja ütles: 'Kes oli siis see, kes jahilooma küttis ja mulle tõi? Ja mina sõin kõike, enne kui sa tulid, ning õnnistasin teda! Õnnistatuks ta jääbki!'

34 Kui Eesav kuulis oma isa sõnu, siis ta kisendas väga valjusti ja kibedasti ning ütles oma isale: 'Õnnista ka mind, mu isa!'

35 Aga ta vastas: 'Su vend tuli kavalusega ja võttis su õnnistuse.'

36 Siis ta ütles: 'Eks ole temale nimeks pandud Jaakob? Juba teist korda on ta mind petnud: ta võttis mu esmasünniõiguse, ja vaata, nüüd ta võttis ka mu õnnistuse!' Ja ta küsis: 'Kas sul pole hoitud õnnistust eraldi minu jaoks?'

37 Aga Iisak vastas ning ütles Eesavile: 'Vaata, ma olen pannud ta sinu isandaks ja olen andnud kõik ta vennad temale sulaseiks, ja ma olen teda varustanud vilja ja veiniga. Mida võiksin siis nüüd teha sinu heaks, mu poeg?'

38 Ja Eesav ütles oma isale: 'Ons see sul ainus õnnistus, mu isa? Õnnista ka mind, mu isa!' Ja Eesav tõstis häält ning nuttis.

39 Siis vastas tema isa Iisak ning ütles temale: 'Vaata, su eluase on eemal rammusast maast ja ilma taeva kasteta ülalt.

40 Sa elad oma mõõga varal ja pead oma venda orjama. Ometi sünnib, kui end raputad, et rebid tema ikke oma kaelast.'

41 Ja Eesav hakkas Jaakobit vihkama õnnistuse pärast, millega ta isa teda oli õnnistanud; ja Eesav mõtles iseeneses: 'Küllap tulevad mu isa leinamise päevad, siis ma tapan oma venna Jaakobi!'

42 Kui Rebekale tehti teatavaks ta vanema poja Eesavi mõtted, siis ta laskis kutsuda oma noorema poja Jaakobi ja ütles temale: 'Vaata, sinu vend Eesav trööstib ennast sellega, et ta su tapab.

43 Aga nüüd, mu poeg, kuula mu sõna! Võta kätte ja põgene mu venna Laabani juurde Haaranisse

44 ja jää tema juurde mõneks ajaks, kuni su venna raev on raugenud,

45 kuni su venna viha sinu pärast on möödunud ja ta unustab, mis sa temale oled teinud. Siis ma läkitan sulle järele ja lasen sind sealt ära tuua. Miks peaksin teid mõlemaid kaotama ühel ja samal päeval?'

46 Ja Rebeka ütles Iisakile: 'Ma olen elust tüdinud hetitaride pärast. Kui Jaakob võtab naise hetitaride hulgast, selle maa tütreist, niisuguse nagu need, mis elu mul siis on?'

3568. 'And he said, Bring it to me, and I will eat from my son's venison' means a desire to join natural truth to itself by means of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as joining together and making one's own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), and from the meaning of 'my son's venison' as truth acquired from good, dealt with in 3309, 3501, 3508. The fact that a desire is meant is self-evident.

2343. 'And they ate' means making one's own. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being communicated and joined together, thus being made one's own, dealt with already in 2187. What has been stated and explained so far makes clear how the contents of the previous and the present verses are arranged and link together in the internal sense - from the fact that 'the angels' means the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding, 'turning aside to him' means staying with, 'coming to his house' being confirmed in good, 'making a feast' dwelling together, 'baking unleavened bread' being purified, and 'eating' taking into oneself and making one's own. It shows the nature of the train of thought in the internal sense, though nothing at all of that sense is apparent in the historical sense.

[2] Such is the order and the train of thought that exists with all the individual parts of the Word. But the nature of that actual train of thought cannot begin to reveal itself when each word is explained separately; for in that case each is seen in isolation from the rest and the continuity of meaning is lost. It reveals itself when all the separate details are seen together within one complete idea, or are perceived as one complete mental picture, as is done by those who have the internal sense and who at the same time dwell in heavenly light from the Lord. Within these words [used here in Genesis] such people are given to see the entire process of the reformation and regeneration of those who become members of the Church, represented here by Lot. That is to say, they first of all perceive some degree of temptation, but when they persevere and overcome the Lord stays with them, and confirms them in good, brings them to Himself into His kingdom, and dwells together with them, and there purifies and perfects them, at the same time granting them as their own things that are good and happy. All this He accomplishes by means of His Divine Human and His Holy proceeding.

[3] Within the Church it is indeed well known that all regeneration or new life, and therefore salvation, comes from the Lord alone, but few believe it. The reason they do not believe it is that the good of charity does not exist in them. It is as impossible for those in whom that good does not exist to believe it as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle; for the good of charity is the very seed-bed of faith. Truth and good agree together, but truth and evil never do. They have contrary natures and turn away from each other. Insofar therefore as someone is moved by good, he can be governed by truth, that is, insofar as charity exists with him faith is able to, especially the most fundamental matter of faith that all salvation comes from the Lord.

[4] That this is the most fundamental matter of faith is clear from many places in the Word, as in John,

God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that everyone who believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16.

In the same gospel,

He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not believe in the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God rests upon him. John 3:36.

In the same gospel,

This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom the Father has sent. John 6:29.

In the same gospel,

This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40.

In the same gospel,

Unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. John 8:24.

In the same gospel,

I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he die, yet will he live. And everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. John 11:25-26.

[5] Nobody is able to believe in the Lord unless he is governed by good, that is, no one can possess faith unless he has charity. This too is clear in John,

As many as received Him, to them He gave power to be sons of God, to those believing in His name, who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. John 1:12-13.

And in the same gospel,

I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for without Me you can do nothing. If a man does not abide in Me he is cast forth as a branch and is withered. As the Father has loved Me so I have loved you; abide in My love. This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. John 15:5-6, 9, 12.

[6] From all these quotations it becomes clear that love to the Lord and charity towards the neighbour constitute the life of faith. But that people who are immersed in evil, that is, who lead a life of evil, cannot possibly believe that all salvation comes from the Lord has become clear to me from those who have entered the next life from the Christian world; and also from people who during their lifetime have confessed with their lips the established teaching of faith, and indeed have taught it themselves, that without the Lord there is no salvation, but who, for all that, have led a life of evil. At the very mention of the Lord's name these people have filled the atmosphere around them entirely with objections. For in the next life solely that which people are thinking is perceived and sends out from itself a sphere, in which the nature of the faith possessed by those people reveals itself, see 1394.

[7] At the mere mention of love or charity among these people I perceived emanating from them something that was so to speak full of darkness and at the same time dust-filled. The product of some filthy love, it was by nature such that it obliterated, stifled, and corrupted all feeling of love to the Lord and of charity towards the neighbour. Such is the faith at the present day, which, they say, saves without the goods that flow from charity.

[8] The same people were also asked what faith they had since it was not the faith they had professed during their lifetime. Since in the next life nobody can conceal what he actually thinks, they said that they believed in God the Creator of all things. They were examined however as to whether this was really so, and it was discovered that they did not believe in any God at all but thought that all things were the product of natural forces, and all that has been said about eternal life is nonsense. Such is the faith of everyone inside the Church who does not believe in the Lord but says that he believes in God the Creator of all things. For truth cannot flow in from any other source than the Lord, and truth cannot be sown in anything other than good which is derived from the Lord.

[9] That the Lord's Divine Human and His Holy proceeding are together the channel and the source of life and salvation is well recognized from the words of the Holy Supper, 'This is My body, This is My blood', which is the Lord's Divine Human. And it is clear that this is the source of everything holy. Whether we speak of the Divine Human, or His Body, or Flesh, or Bread, or Divine Love, it amounts to the same thing; for the Lord's Divine Human is pure Love, and the Holy [proceeding] consists in love alone, while the Holy that constitutes faith is derived from this.
