Jacob's Legacy: a question of pilu |
pilu and power are strongly interlinked not find some today. The Genesis , in a unique way, addressing the topic. We are at chapter 25 when for the first time we know the children of Isaac and Rebecca , the twins Esau and Jacob . Born first, this book does not bring much ass: as Cain was not considered by God, who instead looked kindly Abel (hence the fit of jealousy that had brought more to kill the child and be forever hailed as 'the bad '), his eldest son Esau will have a decidedly unlucky fate of his brother born just a few minutes later, but immediately became the darling of mother Rebecca.
The outstanding feature of Esau is to be hairy as if he had a cloak (apparently the name, in Hebrew, refers to something like that). This animal is a bit disgusted 'mother - as blame her? - And no matter whether the Instead his father Isaac takes a liking to this furry little bundle: as the Genesis - and daily life - teach us, in the end the decision-making power of the husband, in a pair, is more apparent than real.
Esau, moreover, it shows immediately a simpleton rather stupid and unfit to hold positions of prestige to his brother gave his firstborn rights for a plate of bread and lentils . He was hungry, and stomach can not control. No wonder then that the company rewarded Jacob & Rebecca - two cunning and unscrupulous of conscience - put in the bag without any difficulty he and the old Isaac, now blind, when it comes to bless the heir . And here is the whole question of pilu : Jacob 'disguised' by covering themselves of Esau his brother's clothes and skin of two kids . The caring mother prepares for him a slap-up lunch at Cooked & Eaten , ready to bring a gift to Isaac. L ' deception of his father Isaac wears well in multi-sensory mode : satisfied in taste, the blind old man, betrayed by touch and by smell, touch and smell is convinced that Jacob is actually Esau and solemnly blesses him as his sole and rightful heir. Unparalleled impudence of the young reassured when his father about his identity: "Are you really my son Esau?" "Sure!" - Jacob and here he turns to the objective of the camera slyly wink wink, a typical street urchin who has mastered the art of getting by in the low Naples. Note, once again, the fatalism of the householder who discovered the deception when he washes his hands cheerfully, "Father, bless me, too!", Esau begs him, "Your brother came with a lie and you stole blessing, "" But your father, you have only one blessing? Bless me too. " Nothing to do: pilu pretended Jacob has now irretrievably overthrown the real one of Esau. Like think that, to console, the elder brother has booked a session the beautician.
