9 Αλλ' ο Αυναν ηξευρεν, οτι το σπερμα δεν ηθελεν εισθαι ιδικον του· δια τουτο, οτε εισηρχετο προς την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου, εξεχυνεν επι την γην, δια να μη δωση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου.

3520. And I will make the dainties for thy father, such as he loveth. That this signifies that he should make deliciousnesses therefrom, is evident from the signification of “dainties,” as being pleasant things from good (concerning w hich above, n. 3502). They are here called “deliciousnesses,” because they are truths not from genuine good, but from domestic good (see n. 3518).
