3449. 'And Isaac said to them, For what reason have you come to me, seeing that you hate me and have sent me away from you?' means, Why should they desire that which is Divine seeing that they refused to recognize it and loathed that which is contained in the internal sense of the Word? This becomes clear from what has been stated above at verses 15, 16, 19-21.
