Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives, which he had
Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of
Nebajoth, to be his wife.
• Elon, #356, ' אילוןEylown, Terebinth, long-lived tree, from the root ‘ayil,
meaning ram.
The expanded definition here is: With an oath I will praise (my well, my
source has been shattered). In the name of the oath/covenant of the Ram, I am
shattered!
These two declarations have only served to increase the antipathy between the
two brothers! Esau waits the day for revenge upon Jacob! Let’s continue…
II. What follows is the literal, physical, acting out of the Future of
Jacob/Israel
Pg. 3.
Gen. 28: 10: Incidentally, we need to contrast Jacob with Esau again, because
the previous verse and this one, declares both WENT! Two separate words
are used. Let’s look at Esau first. (28:9):
Esau went.
• Went, #3212, ילךyalak, to go, walk, come. It has related words (#3211,
yaliyd, indicating descendants of those born, one born & #3213 – 15 which
denote a wail, to howl, deep mourning of despair or distress, because of
YHVH’s judgment). These words indicate the action of Esau’s rebellion would
cause those born in his house to wail and mourn in deep agony under the
judgment of YHVH! It hints at Esau being pregnant with the Seed of the
Serpent who would strike at the Seed of the Woman – Jacob, with its’ heel.
Gen. 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward
Haran.

Hmmm? The Sages teach that Jacob had spent the previous 14 years in
the tents of Shem & Eber learning Torah at this very location and now
chooses to leave?
• Went, #3212, yalak, *Note the above definition regarding Esau. The
usage of this word also hints that Jacob’s descendants would go into bondage
and howl at the judgment of YHVH. The House of Joseph, the 10 Northern
tribes scattered into the earth have only just been released from their bondage
of 2730 years!
What we have is a juxtaposition of Esau & Jacob! They mirror each other,
one the Yetzer rah, the other the Yetzer Tov (evil vs. good inclination). Both
are impregnated with the Prophetical declaration of the Seed sown in them!
The two words above, Yatsa, and Yalak have an interesting gematria. Yatsa
(101) – Yalak (60). 101 is the gematria of #3610, kil’ayim, meaning a mixing of
two kinds, two seed and 60 is the gematria of #5112, nod, to wander, to flee, to
mourn. Thus, the mixing of the Seed of the Serpent and that of the Woman
would cause one to wander, to flee from the Presence of YHVH as did Cain
who dwelt in the land of Nod! This is also prophetic regarding both Esau and
Jacob both of whom have seed have mingled with the Serpent Seed through
spiritual adultery and are facing judgment.
Padanaram.
Pg. 5
• Bruise, #7779, שוףshuwph, to bruise. Let me call attention to the Hebrew
letters. Shin, tooth, teeth, to destroy. Vav, the humbled man, Pey, the mouth.
Hmmm? To bite the humbled man with the mouth! Gen. 33: 4 is where you
find Jacob meeting Esau again after leaving Padanaram whereupon, Esau
“kisses” him.
• Aram, #761, Aramean, from #759, Armon, a masc. noun meaning fortress,
citadel.
Interesting, though not yet with a wife or children, the prophetic picture
here is that of Jacob/Messiah battling with the Serpent and Jacob/Messiah
going down into the Fortress or citadel of Satan, leading a company of
Redeemed – His Bride to Liberty! Eph. 4: captivity captive!
The Place.
IV. It is not accidental that Jacobs’ transition takes place at his first
stop after leaving Beersheva, the “Well of Oaths”. In Gen. 28:19 the
verse reads: And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name
of that city [was called] Luz at the first. The wording has brought some
confusion. Jacob calls the name of it ‘THE PLACE’:
מֹקו ם
ָּ ַשם־ה
ֵֽׁאת־
ֶ the hyphen connects all these words, thus it is Alep-Tav
(Messiah) – Shem – maqowm, #4725, sanctuary, the Place, I.E. where
Abraham offered Isaac. The gematria of maqowm #4725 מקום is 186,
the same as the words Is. 8: 14, stone of stumbling, אֶבן ֶנֶגף
ֶ the same
verse declares Yahsua is the Sanctuary – the Miqdash, #4720, a cognate
of Maqowm! Jacob could have been describing the place – this is the
Sanctuary of the Aleph-Tav, or a Person, this is the Sanctuary – the
Aleph-Tav!!!
Luz is the Hebrew word for Almond tree or wood, and also means bone,
as in the Luz bone. This, I believe, along with other scholars, separates
it from the place known as Bethel, which would
have been west of Luz. (Josh. 16: 2)I also believe this place to be the
same as the location of Mt. Sinai where the Oath is again confirmed.
Sinai is known for its almond trees and is today called ‘Jabel al Lawz’.
The Mountain of the almonds! Interestingly, a direct line bisects the two
mountains, Sinai and Horeb and runs through Jerusalem! The Picture
of Jacob being laid upon the earth would fit that of Messiah being
offered upon the earth as well!
