创世记 33

Studie

   

1 雅各举目观,见以扫来了,後头跟着,他就把孩子们分开交给利亚、拉结,和两个使女,

2 并且叫两个使女和他们的孩子在前头,利亚和他的孩子在後头,拉结和约瑟在尽後头。

3 他自己在他们前头过去,一连次俯伏在才就哥哥

4 以扫跑来迎接他,将他抱住,又搂着他的颈项,与他亲嘴,两个人就哭了。

5 以扫举目见妇人孩子,就:这些?和你同行的是谁呢?雅各:这些孩子是施恩给你的仆人的

6 於是两个使女和他们的孩子前来下拜;

7 利亚和他的孩子也前来下拜;随约瑟和拉结也前来下拜。

8 以扫:我所遇见的这些群畜是甚麽意思呢?雅各:是要在我面前蒙恩的。

9 以扫兄弟阿,我的已经够了,你的仍归你罢!

10 雅各:不然,我若在你眼前蒙恩,就求你从我里收下这礼物;因为我见了你的面,如同见了的面,并且你容纳了我。

11 求你收下我带来给你的礼物;因为恩待我,使我充足。雅各再三地求他,他才收下了。

12 以扫我们可以起身前往,我在你前头走。

13 雅各对他:我知道孩子们年幼娇嫩,牛也正在乳养的时候,若是催赶一天畜都必死了

14 求我仆人前头走,我要量着在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行,直走到西珥我那里。

15 以扫:容我把跟随我的人留几个在你这里。雅各:何必呢?只要在我眼前蒙恩就是了。

16 於是,以扫当日起行,回往西珥去了。

17 雅各就往疏割去,在那里为自己盖造房屋,又为牲畜搭棚;因此那地方疏割(就是棚的意思)。

18 雅各从巴旦亚兰回的时候,平平安安到了迦南示剑城,在城东支搭帐棚,

19 就用一块银子向示剑的父亲、哈抹的子孙买了支帐棚的那块地,

20 在那里筑了一座,起名伊利伊罗伊以色列(就是神、以色列神的意思)。

4358. And said, Who are these to thee? That this signifies acknowledgment, may be seen from the fact that interrogations in the sense of the letter are not interrogations in the supreme sense; for the Lord, who is treated of in this sense, has no need to interrogate man, because He knows all things both in general and in particular. Hence this interrogation, “Who are these to thee?” signifies acknowledgment. For by Esau is represented the Lord as to Divine good natural; and Divine good immediately acknowledges the truths that it conjoins with itself. And moreover all good does this, for good cannot have being without what it calls truths, nor can truths without that which they call good. They conjoin themselves of themselves; but such as the good is, such are the truths it conjoins with itself. It is good that acknowledges them, and couples itself as a husband with a wife; for the conjunction of good with truths is marriage in the spiritual sense (see n. 2508, 2618). (That good acknowledges its own truth, and truth its own good, and that they are conjoined see n. 3101, 3102, 3161, 3179, 3180.)
