42 Toen aan Rebekka deze woorden van Ezau, haar grootsten zoon, geboodschapt werden, zo zond zij heen, en ontbood Jakob, haar kleinsten zoon, en zeide tot hem: Zie, uw broeder Ezau troost zich over u, dat hij u doden zal.

3595. And I have eaten of all before thou camest. That this signifies that it had been appropriated, is evident from the signification of “eating,” as being to be appropriated (n. 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513).
