Quotation 25. Esau, hispidus atque rufus, populus est Judaeorum, in Christum et prophetas impia persecutione sanguineus, et indicio pilosae cutis tegmine peccatorum horribilis. 26. Jacob autem Christum demonstrat, sive populum gentium, qui Dei Patris benedictione praelatus est priori populo Judaeorum. 27. Laban legis et diaboli habuit typum, ex cujus corpore assumpsit sibi Christus duas conjuges, plebis scilicet circumcisionis et gentium.
Translation 25. Esau, hairy and ruddy, is the people of the Jews, sanguine in their impious persecution of Christ and the prophets, known by the sign of their hairy skin and horrible in their covering of sins. 26. But Jacob shows Christ, or the people of nations, who were preferred in the blessing of God the Father before the people of the Jews. 27. Laban has the image of the law and the devil, from whose body Christ took two spouses to himself, of the people of the circumcision and of the nations.
