1 προσθεμενος δε αβρααμ ελαβεν γυναικα η ονομα χεττουρα

2 ετεκεν δε αυτω τον ζεμραν και τον ιεξαν και τον μαδαν και τον μαδιαμ και τον ιεσβοκ και τον σωυε

3 ιεξαν δε εγεννησεν τον σαβα και τον θαιμαν και τον δαιδαν υιοι δε δαιδαν εγενοντο ραγουηλ και ναβδεηλ και ασσουριιμ και λατουσιιμ και λοωμιμ

4 υιοι δε μαδιαμ γαιφα και αφερ και ενωχ και αβιρα και ελραγα παντες ουτοι ησαν υιοι χεττουρας

5 εδωκεν δε αβρααμ παντα τα υπαρχοντα αυτου ισαακ τω υιω αυτου

6 και τοις υιοις των παλλακων αυτου εδωκεν αβρααμ δοματα και εξαπεστειλεν αυτους απο ισαακ του υιου αυτου ετι ζωντος αυτου προς ανατολας εις γην ανατολων

7 ταυτα δε τα ετη ημερων ζωης αβρααμ οσα εζησεν εκατον εβδομηκοντα πεντε ετη

8 και εκλιπων απεθανεν αβρααμ εν γηρει καλω πρεσβυτης και πληρης ημερων και προσετεθη προς τον λαον αυτου

9 και εθαψαν αυτον ισαακ και ισμαηλ οι υιοι αυτου εις το σπηλαιον το διπλουν εις τον αγρον εφρων του σααρ του χετταιου ο εστιν απεναντι μαμβρη

10 τον αγρον και το σπηλαιον ο εκτησατο αβρααμ παρα των υιων χετ εκει εθαψαν αβρααμ και σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου

11 εγενετο δε μετα το αποθανειν αβρααμ ευλογησεν ο θεος ισαακ τον υιον αυτου και κατωκησεν ισαακ παρα το φρεαρ της ορασεως

12 αυται δε αι γενεσεις ισμαηλ του υιου αβρααμ ον ετεκεν αγαρ η παιδισκη σαρρας τω αβρααμ

13 και ταυτα τα ονοματα των υιων ισμαηλ κατ' ονομα των γενεων αυτου πρωτοτοκος ισμαηλ ναβαιωθ και κηδαρ και ναβδεηλ και μασσαμ

14 και μασμα και ιδουμα και μασση

15 και χοδδαδ και θαιμαν και ιετουρ και ναφες και κεδμα

16 ουτοι εισιν οι υιοι ισμαηλ και ταυτα τα ονοματα αυτων εν ταις σκηναις αυτων και εν ταις επαυλεσιν αυτων δωδεκα αρχοντες κατα εθνη αυτων

17 και ταυτα τα ετη της ζωης ισμαηλ εκατον τριακοντα επτα ετη και εκλιπων απεθανεν και προσετεθη προς το γενος αυτου

18 κατωκησεν δε απο ευιλατ εως σουρ η εστιν κατα προσωπον αιγυπτου εως ελθειν προς ασσυριους κατα προσωπον παντων των αδελφων αυτου κατωκησεν

19 και αυται αι γενεσεις ισαακ του υιου αβρααμ αβρααμ εγεννησεν τον ισαακ

20 ην δε ισαακ ετων τεσσαρακοντα οτε ελαβεν την ρεβεκκαν θυγατερα βαθουηλ του συρου εκ της μεσοποταμιας αδελφην λαβαν του συρου εαυτω γυναικα

21 εδειτο δε ισαακ κυριου περι ρεβεκκας της γυναικος αυτου οτι στειρα ην επηκουσεν δε αυτου ο θεος και ελαβεν εν γαστρι ρεβεκκα η γυνη αυτου

22 εσκιρτων δε τα παιδια εν αυτη ειπεν δε ει ουτως μοι μελλει γινεσθαι ινα τι μοι τουτο επορευθη δε πυθεσθαι παρα κυριου

23 και ειπεν κυριος αυτη δυο εθνη εν τη γαστρι σου εισιν και δυο λαοι εκ της κοιλιας σου διασταλησονται και λαος λαου υπερεξει και ο μειζων δουλευσει τω ελασσονι

24 και επληρωθησαν αι ημεραι του τεκειν αυτην και τηδε ην διδυμα εν τη κοιλια αυτης

25 εξηλθεν δε ο υιος ο πρωτοτοκος πυρρακης ολος ωσει δορα δασυς επωνομασεν δε το ονομα αυτου ησαυ

26 και μετα τουτο εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου και η χειρ αυτου επειλημμενη της πτερνης ησαυ και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ιακωβ ισαακ δε ην ετων εξηκοντα οτε ετεκεν αυτους ρεβεκκα

27 ηυξηθησαν δε οι νεανισκοι και ην ησαυ ανθρωπος ειδως κυνηγειν αγροικος ιακωβ δε ην ανθρωπος απλαστος οικων οικιαν

28 ηγαπησεν δε ισαακ τον ησαυ οτι η θηρα αυτου βρωσις αυτω ρεβεκκα δε ηγαπα τον ιακωβ

29 ηψησεν δε ιακωβ εψεμα ηλθεν δε ησαυ εκ του πεδιου εκλειπων

30 και ειπεν ησαυ τω ιακωβ γευσον με απο του εψεματος του πυρρου τουτου οτι εκλειπω δια τουτο εκληθη το ονομα αυτου εδωμ

31 ειπεν δε ιακωβ τω ησαυ αποδου μοι σημερον τα πρωτοτοκια σου εμοι

32 ειπεν δε ησαυ ιδου εγω πορευομαι τελευταν και ινα τι μοι ταυτα τα πρωτοτοκια

33 και ειπεν αυτω ιακωβ ομοσον μοι σημερον και ωμοσεν αυτω απεδοτο δε ησαυ τα πρωτοτοκια τω ιακωβ

34 ιακωβ δε εδωκεν τω ησαυ αρτον και εψεμα φακου και εφαγεν και επιεν και αναστας ωχετο και εφαυλισεν ησαυ τα πρωτοτοκια

3309. 'And Esau was a man skilled in hunting' means the good of life that has its origin in sensory truths and factual truths. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good of life, dealt with above, and from the meaning of 'a man skilled in hunting' as those who have the affection for truth, dealt with in what follows - for 'a skilled man' has reference to the affection for truth, that is, to those who have that affection for truth, whereas 'hunting' means truths themselves, though truths which belong to the natural man and in which goods have their origin. Now because the truths of the natural man are called factual, 3293, and factual truths are primarily of two kinds or two degrees - sensory and factual proper - 'hunting' here means both of these. Sensory truths occur with children, factual with those same children when they are growing up, for factual truths cannot exist with anyone before he has received sensory truths because the ideas that make up factual truths are acquired from sensory truths. Then, from those factual truths, other truths even more interior can be learned and grasped, which are called matters of doctrine, meant by 'a man of the field', dealt with below in the next paragraph.

[2] The reason why 'hunting' means the sensory truths and factual truths that are taught to those in whom the good of life is present and who have the affection for those truths is that the word 'hunting' in a broad sense refers to creatures caught through hunting, such as rams, he-goats, she-goats, and the like, by which are meant spiritual goods, see 2180, 2830; and also because the weapons used in hunting, which were the quiver, the bow, and darts, mean matters of doctrine upholding what is true, 2685, 2686, 2709. These are the things meant by 'hunting', as may be seen from what Isaac his father told Esau, in Chapter 27 below,

Take now your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt venison for me, and make me savoury food such as I love. Genesis 27:3-4; and, in the same chapter, from what he told Jacob, who was posing as Esau,

Bring it to me that I may eat from my son's venison, so that my soul may bless you. Genesis 27:25.

These quotations show what 'hunting' or 'venison' means.

[3] Consequently 'hunting' is teaching [what is true] or else inducing a belief in what is false, and in both senses, that is to say, acting from an affection for truth or from an affection for falsity. Acting from an affection for truth is described in Jeremiah,

I will bring them back over their land which I gave to their fathers. Behold, I am sending to many fishermen, and they will fish them; and after that I will send to many hunters and they will hunt them from upon every mountain, and from upon every hill, and from the holes in the rocks. Jeremiah 16:15-16.

'Fishermen' stands for those whose teaching is drawn from sensory truths, 40, 991, 'hunters' those whose teaching is drawn from factual truths, and also from matters of doctrine. 'Upon every mountain, and upon every hill' stands for teaching people who are stirred by the affection for good and by the affection for truth - 'mountain' and 'hill' carrying such meanings, see 795, 796, 1430. 'Hunting in the field', as in Genesis 27:3, implies the same. Inducing others to believe what is false and doing so from the affection for falsity is described in Ezekiel,

Behold, I am against your little pillows with which you there hunt the souls to make them fly away, and I will tear them from on your arms, and I will let the souls go that you hunt, souls to fly away; and I will tear off your veils and deliver My people out of your hand, and they will be no more in your hand to be hunted. Ezekiel 13:18-21.

For the meaning of 'hunting' in this sense, see 1178, though nets are normally associated with this type of hunting.
