1 Και αφου εγηρασεν ο Ισαακ, και οι οφθαλμοι αυτου ημβλυνθησαν, ωστε δεν εβλεπεν, εκαλεσεν Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου τον μεγαλητερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Υιε μου. Ο δε ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, εγω.

2 Και εκεινος ειπεν, Ιδου, τωρα, εγω εγηρασα· δεν γνωριζω την ημεραν του θανατου μου·

3 λαβε λοιπον, παρακαλω, τα οπλα σου, την φαρετραν σου και το τοξον σου, και εξελθε εις την πεδιαδα και κυνηγησον μοι κυνηγιον·

4 και καμε μοι εδεσματα καθως αγαπω, και φερε μοι να φαγω, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου πριν αποθανω.

5 Η δε Ρεβεκκα ηκουσεν ενω ελαλει ο Ισαακ προς Ησαυ τον υιον αυτου. Και υπηγεν ο Ησαυ εις την πεδιαδα δια να κυνηγηση κυνηγιον και να φερη αυτο.

6 Και η Ρεβεκκα ελαλησε προς Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης, λεγουσα, Ιδου, εγω ηκουσα τον πατερα σου λαλουντα προς Ησαυ τον αδελφον και λεγοντα,

7 Φερε μοι κυνηγιον και καμε μοι εδεσματα, δια να φαγω, και να σε ευλογησω ενωπιον του Κυριου πριν αποθανω.

8 Τωρα λοιπον, υιε μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου εις οσα εγω σοι παραγγελλω·

9 υπαγε τωρα εις το ποιμνιον, και λαβε μοι εκειθεν δυο καλα εριφια εξ αιγων· δια να καμω αυτα εδεσματα δια τον πατερα σου, καθως αγαπα·

10 και θελεις φερει αυτα προς τον πατερα σου να φαγη, δια σε ευλογηση πριν αποθανη.

11 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς Ρεβεκκαν την μητερα αυτου, Ιδου, ο Ησαυ ο αδελφος μου ειναι ανηρ δασυτριχος, εγω δε ανηρ ατριχος·

12 ισως με ψηλαφηση ο πατηρ μου, και θελω φανη εις αυτον ως απατεων, και θελω συρει επ' εμαυτον καταραν και ουχι ευλογιαν.

13 Ειπε δε προς αυτον η μητηρ αυτου, Επ' εμε η καταρα σου, τεκνον μου· μονον υπακουσον εις την φωνην μου και υπαγε, φερε μοι αυτα.

14 Και υπηγε, και ελαβε, και εφερεν αυτα προς την μητερα αυτου· και εκαμεν η μητηρ αυτου εδεσματα καθως ηγαπα ο πατηρ αυτου.

15 Και λαβουσα η Ρεβεκκα τα καλητερα φορεματα Ησαυ του μεγαλητερου υιου αυτης, τα οποια ειχεν εν τη οικια, ενεδυσε με αυτα Ιακωβ, τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον·

16 και με τα δερματα των εριφιων εσκεπασε τας χειρας αυτου, και τα γυμνα του τραχηλου αυτου·

17 και εδωκεν εις τας χειρας Ιακωβ του υιου αυτης τα εδεσματα και τον αρτον, τα οποια ητοιμασε.

18 Και ηλθε προς τον πατερα αυτου· και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω· τις εισαι, τεκνον μου;

19 Και ειπεν ο Ιακωβ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Εγω ειμαι Ησαυ ο πρωτοτοκος σου· εκαμα καθως μοι ειπας, σηκωθητι λοιπον, καθισον και φαγε εκ του κυνηγιου μου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.

20 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον υιον αυτου, Ποθεν τουτο, τεκνον μου, οτι ευρηκας τοσον ταχεως; Ο δε ειπε, Διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εφερεν αυτο εμπροσθεν μου.

21 Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ προς τον Ιακωβ, Πλησιασον, τεκνον μου, δια να σε ψηλαφησω, αν συ ησαι αυτος ο υιος Ησαυ, η ουχι.

22 Και επλησιασεν ο Ιακωβ εις τον Ισαακ τον πατερα αυτου· ο δε εψηλαφησεν αυτον, και ειπεν, Η μεν φωνη ειναι φωνη Ιακωβ, αι δε χειρες, χειρες Ησαυ.

23 Και δεν εγνωρισεν αυτον, διοτι αι χειρες αυτου ησαν ως αι χειρες Ησαυ αδελφου αυτου, δασυτριχοι και ευλογησεν αυτον.

24 Και ειπε, Συ εισαι αυτος ο υιος μου Ησαυ; Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω.

25 Και ειπε, Φερε πλησιον μου, και θελω φαγει εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου μου, δια να σε ευλογηση η ψυχη μου. Και εφερε πλησιον αυτου, και εφαγεν· εφερε δε προς αυτον οινον και επιε.

26 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Πλησιασον τωρα, και φιλησον με, τεκνον μου.

27 Και επλησιασε, και εφιλησεν αυτον· και ωσφρανθη την οσμην των ενδυματων αυτου, και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν, Ιδου, η οσμη του υιου μου ειναι ως οσμη πεδιαδος, την οποιαν ευλογησεν ο Κυριος·

28 Λοιπον ο Θεος να σοι δωση απο της δροσου του ουρανου και απο του παχους της γης και αφθονιαν σιτου και οινου·

29 Λαοι να σε δουλευσωσι και εθνη να σε προσκυνησωσι· να ησαι κυριος των αδελφων σου, και οι υιοι της μητρος σου να σε προσκυνησωσι· κατηραμενος οστις σε καταραται, και ευλογημενος οστις σε ευλογει

30 Και καθως επαυσεν ο Ισαακ ευλογων τον Ιακωβ, μολις ο Ιακωβ ειχεν εξελθει απ' εμπροσθεν του πατρος αυτου Ισαακ· και ηλθεν Ησαυ ο αδελφος αυτου εκ του κυνηγιου αυτου.

31 Και εκαμε και αυτος εδεσματα και εφερε προς τον πατερα αυτου· και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ας σηκωθη ο πατηρ μου, και ας φαγη εκ του κυνηγιου του υιου αυτου, δια να με ευλογηση η ψυχη σου.

32 Και ειπε προς αυτον Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, Τις εισαι; Ο δε ειπεν, Ειμαι ο υιος σου, ο πρωτοτοκος σου Ησαυ.

33 Και εξεπλαγη ο Ισαακ εκπληξιν μεγαλην σφοδρα, και ειπε, Ποιος ειναι λοιπον εκεινος, οστις εκυνηγησε κυνηγιον, και μοι εφερε και εφαγον απο παντων πριν εισελθης, και ευλογησα αυτον; και ευλογημενος θελει εισθαι.

34 Οτε ηκουσεν ο Ησαυ τους λογους του πατρος αυτου, ανεκραξε κραυγην μεγαλην και πικραν σφοδρα· και ειπε προς τον πατερα αυτου, Ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου.

35 Ο δε ειπεν, Ηλθεν ο αδελφος σου μετα δολου, και ελαβε την ευλογιαν σου.

36 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ, Δικαιως εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Ιακωβ, διοτι τωρα δευτεραν ταυτην φοραν με υπεσκελισεν· ελαβε τα πρωτοτοκια μου, και ιδου, τωρα ελαβε και την ευλογιαν μου. Και ειπε, Δεν εφυλαξας δι' εμε ευλογιαν;

37 Και, απεκριθη ο Ισαακ, και ειπε προς τον Ησαυ, Ιδου, κυριον σου εκαμα αυτον, και παντας τους αδελφους αυτου εκαμα δουλους αυτου, και εστηριξα αυτον με σιτον και οινον· και τι λοιπον να καμω εις σε, τεκνον μου;

38 Και ειπεν ο Ησαυ προς τον πατερα αυτου, Μηπως ταυτην μονην την ευλογιαν εχεις, πατερ μου; ευλογησον με, και εμε, πατερ μου. και υψωσεν ο Ησαυ την φωνην αυτου, και εκλαυσε.

39 Και απεκριθη Ισαακ ο πατηρ αυτου, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, η κατοικησις σου θελει εισθαι εις το παχος της γης, και εις την δροσον του ουρανου ανωθεν·

40 και με την μαχαιραν σου θελεις ζη, και εις τον αδελφον σου θελεις δουλευσει, οταν δε υπερισχυσης, θελεις συντριψει τον ζυγον αυτου απο του τραχηλου σου.

41 Και εμισει ο Ησαυ τον Ιακωβ, δια την ευλογιαν με την οποιαν ευλογησεν αυτον ο πατηρ αυτου· και ειπεν ο Ησαυ εν τη καρδια αυτου, Πλησιαζουσιν αι ημεραι του πενθους του πατρος μου· τοτε θελω φονευσει Ιακωβ τον αδελφον μου.

42 Ανηγγελθησαν, δε προς την Ρεβεκκαν οι λογοι Ησαυ του υιου αυτης του μεγαλητερου· και πεμψασα εκαλεσεν Ιακωβ τον υιον αυτης τον νεωτερον, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, Ησαυ ο αδελφος σου παρηγορει εαυτον κατα σου, οτι θελει σε φονευσει.

43 Τωρα λοιπον, τεκνον μου, ακουσον την φωνην μου· και σηκωθεις, φυγε προς Λαβαν τον αδελφον μου εις Χαρραν·

44 και κατοικησον μετ' αυτου ημερας τινας, εωσου παρελθη ο θυμος του αδελφου σου·

45 εωσου παυση η κατα σου οργη του αδελφου σου, και λησμονηση τα οσα επραξας εις αυτον· τοτε θελω στειλει, και θελω σε φερει εκειθεν· δια τι να σας στερηθω και τους δυο εν μια ημερα;

46 Και ειπεν η Ρεβεκκα προς τον Ισαακ, Αηδιασα την ζωην μου εξ αιτιας των θυγατερων του Χετ· εαν ο Ιακωβ λαβη γυναικα εκ των θυγατερων του Χετ, καθως ειναι αυται εκ των θυγατερων της γης ταυτης, τι με ωφελει να ζω;

3603. 'That you will break his yoke from above your neck' means that good would now be the means through which any joining together was effected - and that truth would be the truth of good. This is clear from the meaning of 'breaking the yoke from above the neck' as release. For 'the neck' means influx and communication and consequently a joining together, while 'a yoke above the neck' means a blocking and cutting off, see 3542; so that 'breaking the yoke from above the neck' means release from such blocking and cutting off, and consequently a joining together through good. It also means that truth becomes the truth of good, for when there is no longer any blocking or cutting off, good flows in and joins itself to truth.

[2] What is implied in all this may be seen from what has been stated and shown so far. But because few understand what is meant by the apparent priority of truth, and by the inferiority for the time being of good - the chief reason for their not understanding being that few stop to reflect on such matters, indeed they do not even reflect on the idea that good is distinct and separate from truth - [let some explanation be offered here]. None of those who pursue a life of self-love and love of the world are aware of what good is, for they do not believe in the existence of any other kind of good than that which is a product of that life. And being unaware of what good is they are also unaware of what truth is, for truth is the companion of good. They do, it is true, know from revelation that good consists in loving God and the neighbour, and truth in matters of doctrine drawn from the Word. But because they do not live according to those things they have no perception of that good and truth; for these are known to them but are not actually present in them. Indeed even those persons who are in the process of being regenerated do not know what good is until they have been regenerated. For prior to their regeneration they have supposed that truth is good and that acting in accordance with truth is good, when in fact it is not good that they are doing at that time but truth. While a person is passing through this state he is passing through that state which is described as Jacob and the blessing conferred on him. But once he passes on into the state in which he performs a good action from an affection for good, that is, once he has been regenerated, he passes into that state which is described in the blessing conferred on Esau.

[3] This may be illustrated from what happens to a person in the first and second stages of life, and after that in the third and fourth stages. During the first stage nothing more than his memory is involved in his knowing things in the Word and likewise matters of doctrine regarding faith. During this stage also he believes he is good when he knows many things from the Word and from doctrine and is able to apply some of them not to his own life but to the lives of others. During the second stage when he is more grown up he is not content to know only with his memory things in the Word and matters of doctrine but now begins to reflect on these with his own ability to think, and insofar as he adds anything to these from his own thought he is pleased by it. Consequently he is moved by an affection for truth which originates in some worldly love, which is also a means to his learning further things which would be neglected by him but for that worldly love. During the third stage however, if he is among such people as are able to be regenerated he starts to think about use, and in that case to reflect on what he reads in the Word and absorbs from doctrine for the sake of the use these serve. While he is passing through this state order is reversed; that is to say, truth is no longer placed first quite so much. But during the fourth stage, when it is the stage of his regeneration, because now the state is complete, dealt with in 2636, he loves the Word and matters of doctrine drawn from the Word - that is, he loves truth - for the sake of the good of life, and therefore loves them from a desire for the good of life. Thus good, which up to that time has apparently taken second place, now comes to occupy the first.

[4] The reason why good has apparently taken second place is that it has lain concealed inmostly within the person's entire affection. Nor has it been able to show itself because it has been surrounded by such things as those with which it could not accord, that is to say, by vain and worthless things like those that constitute worldly glory and self-glory. But once he has been regenerated these things depart and the good that has lain inmostly comes so to speak out of prison and enters into those things which are outside, and takes truths to itself, makes them the truths of good, and in this way manifests itself.

[5] During all this time the good present with a person is something which so to speak he does not consciously will, yet is present within his will - present in every detail of his thought and consequently in every detail of his activity. He is not aware of possessing this which he does not consciously will because he does not perceive anything present with himself apart from that which is his own, that is, which he does will. That which he does not will is twofold: on the one hand there is that which he has inherited from father and mother, on the other that which flows in from the Lord by way of heaven. While a person is growing up that which he has inherited from parents manifests itself more and more, if he is such that he does not allow himself to be regenerated. For he draws on evils from his heredity and makes them properly his own. But that which is not consciously willed yet flows from the Lord by way of heaven manifests itself in adult years with those who are being regenerated. With the latter this activity has in the meantime arranged and governed every single detail of thought, and also of will, though that activity has not been apparent.
