1 Kad Isak ostare i oči mu potamneše, te ne videše, dozva Isava starijeg sina svog, i reče mu: Sine! A on odgovori: Evo me.

2 Tada reče: Evo ostareo sam, ne znam kad ću umreti;

3 Uzmi oružje svoje, tul i luk, i izađi u planinu, te mi ulovi lov;

4 I zgotovi mi jelo po mojoj volji, i donesi mi da jedem, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja dok nisam umro.

5 A Reveka ču šta Isak reče sinu svom Isavu. I Isav otide u planinu da ulovi lov i donese.

6 A Reveka reče Jakovu, sinu svom govoreći: Gle, čuh oca tvog gde govori s Isavom, bratom tvojim i reče:

7 Donesi mi lov, i zgotovi jelo da jedem, pa da te blagoslovim pred Gospodom dok nisam umro.

8 Nego sada, sine, poslušaj me šta ću ti kazati.

9 Idi sada k stadu i donesi dva dobra jareta, da zgotovim ocu tvom jelo od njih, kako rado jede.

10 Pa ćeš uneti ocu da jede i da te blagoslovi dok nije umro.

11 A Jakov reče Reveci materi svojoj: Ali je Isav brat moj rutav, a ja sam gladak;

12 Može me opipati otac, pa će se osetiti da sam ga hteo prevariti, te ću navući na se prokletstvo mesto blagoslova.

13 A mati mu reče: Neka prokletstvo tvoje, sine padne na mene; samo me poslušaj, i idi i donesi mi.

14 Tada otišavši uze i donese materi svojoj; a mati njegova zgotovi jelo kako jeđaše rado otac njegov.

15 Pa onda uze Reveka najlepše haljine starijeg sina svog, koje behu u nje kod kuće, i obuče Jakova mlađeg sina svog.

16 I jarećim kožicama obloži mu ruke i vrat gde beše gladak.

17 I dade Jakovu sinu svom u ruke jelo i hleb što zgotovi.

18 A on uđe k ocu svom i reče: Oče. A on odgovori: Evo me; koji si ti, sine?

19 I Jakov reče ocu svom: Ja, Isav tvoj prvenac; učinio sam kako si mi rekao; digni se, posadi se da jedeš lov moj, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.

20 A Isak reče sinu svom: Kad brže nađe, sine? A on reče: Gospod Bog tvoj dade, te izađe preda me.

21 Tada reče Isak Jakovu: Hodi bliže, sine da te opipam jesi li sin moj Isav ili ne.

22 I pristupi Jakov k Isaku ocu svom, a on ga opipa, pa reče: Glas je Jakovljev, ali ruke su Isavove.

23 I ne pozna ga, jer mu ruke behu kao u Isava brata njegovog rutave: Zato ga blagoslovi;

24 I reče mu: Jesi li ti sin moj Isav? A on odgovori: Ja sam.

25 Tada reče: A ti daj, sine, da jedem lov tvoj, pa da te blagoslovi duša moja. I dade mu, te jede; pa mu donese i vino te pi.

26 Potom Isak, otac njegov reče mu: Hodi sine, celivaj me.

27 I on pristupi i celiva ga; a Isak oseti miris od haljina njegovih, i blagoslovi ga govoreći: Gle, miris sina mog kao miris od polja koje blagoslovi Gospod.

28 Bog ti dao rose nebeske, i dobre zemlje i pšenice i vina izobila!

29 Narodi ti služili i plemena ti se klanjala! Bio gospodar braći svojoj i klanjali ti se sinovi matere tvoje! Proklet bio koji tebe usproklinje, a blagosloven koji tebe uzblagosilja!

30 A kad Isak blagoslovi Jakova, i Jakov otide ispred Isaka oca svog, u taj čas dođe Isav brat njegov iz lova.

31 Pa zgotovi i on jelo i unese ocu svom, i reče mu: Ustani, oče, da jedeš šta ti je sin ulovio, pa da me blagoslovi duša tvoja.

32 A Isak otac njegov reče mu: Ko si ti? A on reče: Ja, sin tvoj, prvenac tvoj Isav.

33 Tada se prepade Isak, i reče: Ko? Da gde je onaj koji ulovi i donese mi lova, i od svega jedoh pre nego ti dođe, i blagoslovih ga? On će i ostati blagosloven.

34 A kad ču Isav reči oca svog, vrisnu glasno i ožalosti se veoma, i reče ocu svom: Blagoslovi i mene, oče.

35 A on mu reče: Dođe brat tvoj s prevarom, i odnese tvoj blagoslov.

36 A Isav reče: Pravo je što mu je ime Jakov, jer me većdrugom prevari. Prvenaštvo mi uze, pa eto sada mi uze i blagoslov. Potom reče: Nisi li i meni ostavio blagoslov?

37 A Isak odgovori, i reče Isavu: Eto sam ga postavio tebi za gospodara; i svu braću njegovu dadoh mu da mu budu sluge; pšenicom i vinom ukrepih ga; pa šta bih sada tebi učinio, sine?

38 I Isav reče ocu svom: Eda li je samo jedan blagoslov u tebe, oče? Blagoslovi i mene, oče. I stade glasno plakati Isav.

39 A Isak otac njegov odgovarajući reče mu: Evo, stan će ti biti na rodnoj zemlji i rosi nebeskoj ozgo.

40 Ali ćeš živeti od mača svog, i bratu ćeš svom služiti; ali će doći vreme, te ćeš pošto se naplačeš skršiti jaram njegov s vrata svog.

41 I Isav omrze ljuto na Jakova radi blagoslova, kojim ga blagoslovi otac, i govoraše u srcu svom: Blizu su žalosni dani oca mog, tada ću ubiti Jakova brata svog.

42 I kazaše Reveci reči Isava sina njenog starijeg, a ona poslavši dozva Jakova mlađeg sina svog, i reče mu: Gle, Isav brat tvoj teši se time što hoće da te ubije.

43 Nego, sine, poslušaj šta ću ti kazati; ustani i beži k Lavanu bratu mom u Haran.

44 I ostani kod njega neko vreme dokle prođe srdnja brata tvog,

45 Dokle se gnev brata tvog odvrati od tebe, te zaboravi šta si mu učinio; a onda ću ja poslati da te dovedu odande. Zašto bih ostala bez obojice vas u jedan dan?

46 A Isaku reče Reveka: Omrzao mi je život radi ovih Hetejaka. Ako se Jakov oženi Hetejkom, kakvom između kćeri ove zemlje, na šta mi život?

3582. 'Be lord over your brothers' means the apparent dominion at first of the affection for natural truth over affections for natural good. This is clear from the meaning of 'being lord over' as having dominion, and from the meaning of 'brothers' as affections for good, in this case natural good, dealt with in 367, 2360, 3303. Regarding the apparent dominion at first of truth over good, see 3324, 3325, 3330, 3332, 3336, 3470, 3539, 3548, 3556, 3563, 3570.

2360. He calls them 'brothers' because it was from good that he made his appeal. This is clear from the meaning of 'brother', for 'brother' in the Word has the same meaning as 'neighbour', the reason being that everyone ought to love his neighbour as himself. Thus 'brothers' were called such out of love, or what amounts to the same, from good. The origin of naming and greeting the neighbour in this way lies in heaven where the Lord is Father of all and loves all as His children; and so love is spiritual conjunction. From this the whole of heaven resembles so to speak one family born from love and charity, 685, 917.

[2] All the children of Israel therefore, since they represented the Lord's heavenly kingdom, that is, the kingdom of love and charity, were among themselves called 'brothers' and also 'companions', though they were called 'companions' not from the good of love but from the truth of faith, as in Isaiah,

Every one helps his companion and says to his brother, Be firm. Isaiah 41:6.

In Jeremiah,

Thus shall you say, every one to his companion and every one to his brother, What has Jehovah answered? and what has Jehovah spoken? Jeremiah 23:35.

In David,

For my brothers' and my companions' sakes I will say. Peace be within you! Psalms 122:8.

In Moses,

He shall not press his companion and his brother, because Jehovah's release has been proclaimed. Deuteronomy 15:2-3.

In Isaiah,

I will confound Egypt with Egypt, and they will fight, every one against his brother, and every one against his companion. Isaiah 19:2.

In Jeremiah,

Take heed, every one, of his companion and put no trust in any brother, for every brother will supplant wholly, and every companion will utter slanders. Jeremiah 9:4.

[3] The fact that all belonging to that Church were called by the one name 'brothers' may be seen in Isaiah,

They will bring all your brothers from all nations as an offering to Jehovah, on horses, and in chariots, and in covered wagons, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to My holy mountain, Jerusalem. Isaiah 66:20.

People, like the Jews, who know nothing beyond the sense of the letter believe that none else are meant than the descendants of Jacob, and also that those descendants will be brought back to Jerusalem on horses, and in chariots, and in covered wagons, and on mules by those whom they call the gentiles. But the word 'brothers' is used to mean all who are governed by good, 'horses, chariots, and wagons' to mean the things that belong to truth and good, and 'Jerusalem' the Lord's kingdom.

[4] In Moses,

When there is a needy person among you, one of your brothers, within one of your gates, you shall not harden your heart nor shut your hand against your needy brother. Deuteronomy 15:7, 11.

In the same author,

From among your brothers shall you set a king over you; you may not place over you a foreigner, who is not your brother. And his heart shall not be lifted up above his brothers. Deuteronomy 17:15, 20.

In the same author,

Jehovah your God will raise up for you from the midst of you, from your brothers, a prophet like me; Him shall you obey. Deuteronomy 18:15, 18.

[5] From these quotations it is evident that the Jews and Israelites all called one another brothers, but allies they called companions. But because they discerned nothing beyond the historical and worldly descriptions of the Word they consequently believed that they called one another brothers because they were all children of one forefather, namely Abraham. They were not called brothers in the Word for this reason however but from the good which they represented. Furthermore 'Abraham' in the internal sense means nothing else than love itself, that is, the Lord, 1893, 1965, 1989, 2011, whose sons who therefore are brothers - are those who are governed by good, all those in fact who are called 'the neighbour', as the Lord teaches in Matthew,

One is your Master, Christ, and all you are brothers. Matthew 23:8.

[6] In the same gospel,

Whoever is angry with his brother without cause will be liable to judgement; whoever says to his brother, Raca! will be liable to the Sanhedrin. If you offer your gift on the altar and there remember that your brother-has something against you, leave the gift there before the altar, go away and first be reconciled to your brother. Matthew 5:22-24.

In the same gospel,

Why do you notice the speck which is in your brother's eye? How will you say to your brother, Let me cast the speck out of your eye? Matthew 7:2-4.

In the same gospel,

If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. Matthew 18:15.

In the same gospel,

Peter came and said to Him, Lord, how many times shall my brother sin against me and I ought to forgive him? Matthew 18:21.

In the same gospel,

So also My heavenly Father will do to you if you from your hearts do not forgive - everyone his brother's trespasses. Matthew 18:35.

[7] From all this it is plain that all men everywhere, being the neighbour, are called brothers. They are called 'brothers' because everyone ought to love the neighbour as himself, so that they are called such from love or good. And because the Lord is Good itself and views everyone from good, and is Himself the Neighbour in the highest sense of all, He Himself refers to them as 'brothers', as in John,

Jesus said to Mary, Go to My brothers. John 20:17.

And in Matthew,

The king will answer them and say, Truly I say to you, insofar as you did it to one of the least of these My brothers you did it to Me. Matthew 25:40.

From this it is now clear that 'brother' is a term expressive of love.
