لِئَلاَّ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ زَانِيًا أَوْ مُسْتَبِيحًا كَعِيسُو، الَّذِي لأَجْلِ أَكْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ بَاعَ بَكُورِيَّتَهُ.

fornicator-- (Heb 13:4; Co1 10:8). or profane--Fornication is nearly akin to gluttony, Esau's sin. He profanely cast away his spiritual privilege for the gratification of his palate. Gen 25:34 graphically portrays him. An example well fitted to strike needful horror into the Hebrews, whosoever of them, like Esau, were only sons of Isaac according to the flesh [BENGEL]. for one morsel--The smallness of the inducement only aggravates the guilt of casting away eternity for such a trifle, so far is it from being a claim for mercy (compare Gen 3:6). One single act has often the greatest power either for good or for evil. So in the cases of Reuben and Saul, for evil (Gen 49:4; Ch1 5:1; Sa1 13:12-14); and, on the other hand, for good, Abraham and Phinehas (Gen 12:1, &c.; Gen 15:5-6; Num 25:6-15). his birthright--Greek, "his own (so the oldest manuscripts read, intensifying the suicidal folly and sin of the act) rights of primogeniture," involving the high spiritual privilege of being ancestor of the promised seed, and heir of the promises in Him. The Hebrews whom Paul addressed, had, as Christians, the spiritual rights of primogeniture (compare Heb 12:23): he intimates that they must exercise holy self-control, if they wish not, like Esau, to forfeit them.
افتح المصدر ↗The apostle, in this chapter, applies what he has collected in the chapter foregoing, and makes use of it as a great motive to patience and perseverance in the Christian faith and state, pressing home the argument, I. From a greater example than he had yet mentioned, and that is Christ himself (Heb 12:1-3). II. From the gentle and gracious nature of the afflictions they endured in their Christian course (Heb 12:4-17). III. From the communion and conformity between the state of the gospel-church on earth and the triumphant church in heaven (Heb 12:18 to the end).
افتح المصدر ↗12:16 Ancient Jewish literature describes Esau as sexually immoral because he was married to the Hittite women Judith and Basemath (Gen 26:34; see Jubilees 25:1; Philo, On the Virtues 208). • Esau’s lack of regard for his birthright (Gen 25:29-34) was godless. His willingness to give up God’s blessings for immediate satisfaction illustrates the opposite of faith.

لأَنَّ خَارِجًا الْكِلاَبَ وَالسَّحَرَةَ وَالزُّنَاةَ وَالْقَتَلَةَ وَعَبَدَةَ الأَوْثَانِ، وَكُلَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَيَصْنَعُ كَذِبًا.
لِيَكُنِ الزِّوَاجُ مُكَرَّمًا عِنْدَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ، وَالْمَضْجَعُ غَيْرَ نَجِسٍ. وَأَمَّا الْعَاهِرُونَ وَالزُّنَاةُ فَسَيَدِينُهُمُ اللهُ.
لأَنَّهُ مِنَ الدَّاخِلِ، مِنْ قُلُوبِ النَّاسِ، تَخْرُجُ الأَفْكَارُ الشِّرِّيرَةُ: زِنىً، فِسْقٌ، قَتْلٌ،
أَنْ تَمْتَنِعُوا عَمَّا ذُبحَ لِلأَصْنَامِ، وَعَنِ الدَّمِ، وَالْمَخْنُوقِ، وَالزِّنَا، الَّتِي إِنْ حَفِظْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْهَا فَنِعِمَّا تَفْعَلُونَ. كُونُوا مُعَافَيْنَ».
بَلْ يُرْسَلْ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَمْتَنِعُوا عَنْ نَجَاسَاتِ الأَصْنَامِ، وَالزِّنَا، وَالْمَخْنُوقِ، وَالدَّمِ.
أَنْ يُذِلَّنِي إِلهِي عِنْدَكُمْ، إِذَا جِئْتُ أَيْضًا وَأَنُوحُ عَلَى كَثِيرِينَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَخْطَأُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَلَمْ يَتُوبُوا عَنِ النَّجَاسَةِ وَالزِّنَا وَالْعَهَارَةِ الَّتِي فَعَلُوهَا.
وَلاَ نَزْنِ كَمَا زَنَى أُنَاسٌ مِنْهُمْ، فَسَقَطَ فِي يَوْمٍ وَاحِدٍ ثَلاَثَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا.
فَإِنَّكُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ هذَا أَنَّ كُلَّ زَانٍ أَوْ نَجِسٍ أَوْ طَمَّاعٍ الَّذِي هُوَ عَابِدٌ لِلأَوْثَانِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِيرَاثٌ فِي مَلَكُوتِ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ.
فَأَمِيتُوا أَعْضَاءَكُمُ الَّتِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ: الزِّنَا، النَّجَاسَةَ، الْهَوَى، الشَّهْوَةَ الرَّدِيَّةَ، الطَّمَعَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِبَادَةُ الأَوْثَانِ،
فَقَالَ: «أَلاَ إِنَّ اسْمَهُ دُعِيَ يَعْقُوبَ، فَقَدْ تَعَقَّبَنِي الآنَ مَرَّتَيْنِ! أَخَذَ بَكُورِيَّتِي، وَهُوَذَا الآنَ قَدْ أَخَذَ بَرَكَتِي». ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَا أَبْقَيْتَ لِي بَرَكَةً؟»
