1 Ελαβε δε ο Αβρααμ και αλλην γυναικα, ονομαζομενην Χεττουραν.

2 Και αυτη εγεννησεν εις αυτον τον Ζεμβραν και τον Ιοξαν και τον Μαδαν και τον Μαδιαμ και τον Ιεσβωκ και τον Σουα.

3 και ο Ιοξαν εγεννησε τον Σεβα και τον Δαιδαν· οι δε υιοι του Δαιδαν ησαν Ασσουρειμ και Λετουσιειμ και Λαωμειμ.

4 Οι υιοι δε του Μαδιαμ ησαν Γεφα και Εφερ και Ανωχ και Αβειδα και Ελδαγα· παντες ουτοι υιοι της Χεττουρας.

5 Εδωκε δε ο Αβρααμ παντα τα υπαρχοντα αυτου εις τον Ισαακ.

6 Εις δε τους υιους των παλλακων αυτου εδωκεν ο Αβρααμ χαρισματα, και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους, ετι ζων, μακραν απο του υιου αυτου Ισαακ προς ανατολας, εις την γην της Ανατολης.

7 Και ταυτα ειναι τα ετη των ημερων της ζωης του Αβρααμ, οσα εζησεν, ετη εκατον εβδομηκοντα πεντε.

8 Και εκπνευσας απεθανεν ο Αβρααμ εν γηρατι καλω, γερων και πληρης ημερων· και προσετεθη εις τον λαον αυτου.

9 Και εθαψαν αυτον ο Ισαακ και ο Ισμαηλ οι υιοι αυτου εν τω σπηλαιω Μαχπελαχ, εν τω αγρω του Εφρων, υιου του Σωαρ του Χετταιου, τω απεναντι της Μαμβρη·

10 τω αγρω, τον οποιον ηγορασεν ο Αβρααμ παρα των υιων του Χετ· εκει εταφη ο Αβρααμ και Σαρρα η γυνη αυτου.

11 Και μετα τον θανατον του Αβρααμ, ευλογησεν ο Θεος Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και κατωκησεν ο Ισαακ πλησιον του φρεατος Λαχαι-ροι.

12 Αυτη δε ειναι η γενεαλογια του Ισμαηλ, υιου του Αβρααμ, τον οποιον εγεννησεν εις τον Αβρααμ Αγαρ η Αιγυπτια, η δουλη της Σαρρας·

13 και ταυτα ειναι τα ονοματα των υιων του Ισμαηλ, κατα τα ονοματα αυτων, εις τας γενεας αυτων· πρωτοτοκος του Ισμαηλ Ναβαιωθ, επειτα Κηδαρ και Αβδεηλ και Μιβσαμ,

14 και Μισμα, και Δουμα και Μασσα

15 Χαδδαρ, και Θαιμα, Ιετουρ, Ναφις, και Κεδμα·

16 ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Ισμαηλ, και ταυτα τα ονοματα αυτων κατα τας κωμας αυτων και κατα τας κατοικιας αυτων· δωδεκα αρχοντες κατα τα εθνη αυτων.

17 Και ταυτα ειναι τα ετη της ζωης του Ισμαηλ, ετη εκατον τριακοντα επτα· και εκπνευσας απεθανε και προσετεθη εις τον λαον αυτου.

18 Κατωκησαν δε απο Αβιλα εως Σουρ, της κατα προσωπον Αιγυπτου, καθως υπαγει τις προς την Ασσυριαν· ο Ισμαηλ κατωκησεν εμπροσθεν παντων των αδελφων αυτου.

19 Και αυτη ειναι η γενεαλογια του Ισαακ, υιου του Αβρααμ· ο Αβρααμ εγεννησε τον Ισαακ·

20 ητο δε ο Ισαακ ετων τεσσαρακοντα, οτε ελαβεν εις εαυτον γυναικα την Ρεβεκκαν, θυγατερα Βαθουηλ του Συρου απο Παδαν-αραμ, αδελφην Λαβαν του Συρου.

21 Και εδεετο ο Ισαακ προς τον Κυριον περι της γυναικος αυτου, διοτι ητο στειρα· και επηκουσεν ο Κυριος αυτου, και συνελαβεν η Ρεβεκκα η γυνη αυτου.

22 Και τα παιδια συνεκρουοντο εντος αυτης· και ειπεν, Αν μελλη ουτω να γεινη, δια τι εγω να συλλαβω; και υπηγε να ερωτηση τον Κυριον.

23 Και ειπεν ο Κυριος προς αυτην, Δυο εθνη ειναι εν τη κοιλια σου· και δυο λαοι θελουσι διαχωρισθη απο των εντοσθιων σου· και ο εις λαος θελει εισθαι δυνατωτερος του αλλου λαου· και ο μεγαλητερος θελει δουλευσει εις τον μικροτερον.

24 Και οτε επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι αυτης δια να γεννηση, ιδου, ησαν διδυμα εν τη κοιλια αυτης.

25 Εξηλθε δε ο πρωτος ερυθρος και ολος ως δερμα δασυτριχος· και εκαλεσαν το ονομα αυτου, Ησαυ.

26 Και επειτα εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου· και η χειρ αυτου εκρατει την πτερναν του Ησαυ· δια τουτο ωνομασθη Ιακωβ· ο δε Ισαακ ητο ετων εξηκοντα, οτε εγεννησεν αυτους.

27 Ηυξησαν δε τα παιδια· και εγεινεν ο μεν Ησαυ ανθρωπος εμπειρος εις το κυνηγιον, ανθρωπος του αγρου· ο δε Ιακωβ, ανθρωπος απλους, κατοικων εν σκηναις.

28 Και ο μεν Ισαακ ηγαπα τον Ησαυ, διοτι το κυνηγιον ητο τροφη εις αυτον· η δε Ρεβεκκα ηγαπα τον Ιακωβ.

29 Εμαγειρευε δε ο Ιακωβ μαγειρευμα· και ηλθεν ο Ησαυ εκ του αγρου και ητο αποκαμωμενος·

30 και ειπεν ο Ησαυ προς τον Ιακωβ, Δος μοι, παρακαλω, να φαγω απο το κοκκινον, το κοκκινον τουτο, διοτι ειμαι αποκαμωμενος· δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα αυτου, Εδωμ.

31 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ, Πωλησον μοι σημερον τα πρωτοτοκια σου.

32 Και ο Ησαυ ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω υπαγω να αποθανω, και τι με ωφελουσι ταυτα τα πρωτοτοκια;

33 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ, Ομοσον μοι σημερον· και ωμοσεν εις αυτον· και επωλησε τα πρωτοτοκια αυτου εις τον Ιακωβ.

34 Τοτε ο Ιακωβ εδωκεν εις τον Ησαυ αρτον και μαγειρευμα της φακης· και εφαγε και επιε και σηκωθεις ανεχωρησεν· ουτως ο Ησαυ κατεφρονησε τα πρωτοτοκια.

3302. 'And they called his name Esau' means its essential nature, that is to say, of the Natural as regards good. This is clear from the meaning of 'calling the name' or calling by name, as knowing the essential nature of a person or thing, and so knowing that nature itself, dealt with in 144, 145, 440, 768, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, and from the fact that names in the Word, however many these may be, in the internal sense mean spiritual realities, 1224, 1888, so that 'Esau' is some spiritual reality. That reality is the Lord's Divine Natural as regards Divine Good when first conceived, as is clear from what has been stated and from what follows concerning Esau, as well as from other places in the Word. But as Esau and Edom are very similar in meaning - the difference being that 'Edom' is the Divine Natural as regards good to which doctrinal matters concerning truth have been allied - confirmation from places in the Word will in the Lord's Divine mercy therefore be provided at verse 30 below, where Esau is called Edom.

2063. 'You will not call by her name Sarai, for Sarah will be her name' means that He will cast off the human and put on the Divine. This is clear from what has been stated at verse 5 above regarding Abraham, where it is said, 'No longer will your name be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham', words which in a similar way mean that He will cast off the human and put on the Divine, dealt with in 2009. Indeed the letter H added to Sarah's name was taken from the name of Jehovah, in order that Sarah, like Abraham, might represent the Lord's Divine, that is to say, in order that the Divine marriage of Good and Truth in the Lord might be represented - 'Abraham' being Divine Good and 'Sarah' Divine Truth. And from that marriage the Divine Rational, which is Isaac, was to be born.

[2] Divine Good, which in itself is love, and in relation to the entire human race is mercy, was the Lord's Internal, that is, Jehovah, who is Good itself. This Good is represented by 'Abraham'. Truth that was to be joined to Divine Good was represented by 'Sarai', but once this too has become Divine, it is represented by 'Sarah', for the Lord advanced towards union with Jehovah gradually, as mentioned in various places above. 'Sarai' represented truth not yet Divine - when it was still not so thoroughly united to Good that Good was the source of truth. But once it was so thoroughly united to Good that it stemmed from Good it was at that point Divine, and Truth itself was in that case also Good since it was truth inhering in Good. Truth tending towards good so that it may be united to good is one thing, while truth so united to good that it stems completely from good is another. Truth tending towards good is still drawing on something of what is human, but once it is united completely to good it casts aside everything that is human and takes on what is Divine.

[3] This matter, like others previously, can be illustrated by what occurs with man. When a person is being regenerated, that is, when he is to be joined to the Lord, he moves towards that conjunction by means of truth, that is, by means of the truths of faith, for nobody can be regenerated except by means of cognitions of faith, which are the truths by means of which he moves towards such conjunction. These truths the Lord goes to meet by way of good, that is, of charity, and introduces this charity into the cognitions of faith, that is, into its truths. For all truths are the recipient vessels of good; and therefore the more genuine the truths are and the more they are multiplied, the more abundantly is good able to accept them as vessels, to bring them into a state of order, and only then to reveal itself, doing so in the end in such a way that the truths are not seen, except insofar as good shines through them. In this way truth becomes celestial-spiritual. And since the Lord is present solely within the good that flows from charity, a person is in this manner joined to the Lord, and by means of good, that is, of charity, has conscience conferred on him, from which he then thinks what is true and does what is right. But this conscience is a conscience in keeping with the truths and the things that are right into which good or charity has been introduced.
