“For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, although he sought the blessing with tears — Esau's tragedy: repentance (metanoia) became impossible; no 'place of repentance' (topos metanoias) remained though he sought with tears. The warning is severe: some choices irreversibly foreclose grace.
