3524. Verses 11-13. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man. Peradventure my father will feel me, and I shall be in his eyes as a misleader; and I shall bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son; only hearken to my voice, and go, take for me. “And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother,” signifies the Lord’s perception from Divine truth concerning natural truth; “behold Esau my brother is a hairy man,” signifies the quality of natural good relatively; “and I am a smooth man,” signifies the quality of natural truth relatively; “peradventure my father will feel me,” signifies the inmost degree of perception; “and I shall be in his eyes as a misleader,” signifies rejection, because apparently contrary to order; “and I shall bring upon myself a curse, and not a blessing,” signifies disjunction; “and his mother said unto him,” signifies perception from Divine truth; “upon me be thy curse, my son,” signifies that there would be no disjunction; “only hearken unto my voice, and go, take for me,” signifies from the effect.
