創世記 28

Studie

   

1 以撒叫了雅各來，給他祝福，並囑咐他說：你不要娶迦南的女子為妻。

2 你起身往巴旦亞蘭去，到你外祖彼土利家裡，在你母舅拉班的女兒中娶一女為妻。

3 願全能的神賜福給你，使你生養眾多，成為多族，

4 將應許亞伯拉罕的福賜給你和你的後裔，使你承受你所寄居的地為業，就是神賜給亞伯拉罕的地。

5 以撒打發雅各走了，他就往巴旦亞蘭去，到亞蘭人彼土利的兒子拉班那裡。拉班是雅各、以掃的母舅。

6 以掃見以撒已經給雅各祝福，而且打發他往巴旦亞蘭去，在那裡娶妻，並見祝福的時候囑咐他說：不要娶迦南的女子為妻，

7 又見雅各聽從父母的話往巴旦亞蘭去了，

8 以掃就曉得他父親以撒看不中迦南的女子，

9 便往以實瑪利那裡去，在他二妻之外又娶了瑪哈拉為妻。他是亞伯拉罕兒子以實瑪利的女兒，尼拜約的妹子。

10 雅各出了別是巴，向哈蘭走去；

11 到了一個地方，因為太陽落了，就在那裡住宿，便拾起那地方的一塊石頭枕在頭下，在那裡躺臥睡了，

12 夢見一個梯子立在地上，梯子的頭頂著天，有神的使者在梯子上，上去下來。

13 耶和華站在梯子以上(或作站在他旁邊)，說：我是耶和華─你祖亞伯拉罕的神，也是以撒的神；我要將你現在所躺臥之地賜給你和你的後裔。

14 你的後裔必像地上的塵沙那樣多，必向東西南北開展；地上萬族必因你和你的後裔得福。

15 我也與你同在。你無論往那裡去，我必保佑你，領你歸回這地，總不離棄你，直到我成全了向你所應許的。

16 雅各睡醒了，說：耶和華真在這裡，我竟不知道！

17 就懼怕，說：這地方何等可畏！這不是別的，乃是神的殿，也是天的門。

18 雅各清早起來，把所枕的石頭立作柱子，澆油在上面。

19 他就給那地方起名叫伯特利(就是神殿的意思)；但那地方起先名叫路斯。

20 雅各許願說：神若與我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又給我食物吃，衣服穿，

21 使我平平安安地回到我父親的家，我就必以耶和華為我的神。

22 我所立為柱子的石頭也必作神的殿，凡你所賜給我的，我必將十分之一獻給你。

3736. 'And I come back in peace to my father's house' means even to the point of perfect union. This becomes clear from the fact that 'father's house', used in reference to the Lord, is the Divine itself which was the Lord's from actual conception. 'Coming back to that house' is resuming to Divine Good itself, which is called 'the Father' - Divine Good being 'the Father', see 3704. 'Coming back to that house' clearly means being united. The same was meant by the Lord when He said that He had come forth from the Father and had come into the world, and that He would be going again to the Father. That is to say, His coming forth from the Father means that the Divine itself had taken on the Human; His coming into the world means that He was as a human being; and His going again to the Father means that He would unite the Human Essence to the Divine Essence. This was the meaning of the following words spoken by the Lord in John,

What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before? John 6:62.

In the same gospel,

Jesus knew that the Father had given all things into His hands and that He had come forth from God and was going to God. My children, yet a little while I am with you. Where I am going you cannot come. John 13:3, 33.

In the same gospel,

Now I am going away to Him who sent Me; but none of you asks Me, Where are you going away? It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I did not go away the Paraclete would not come to you; but if I go away I will send Him to you. A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me [because I am going away to the Father. Some of His disciples said to one another, What is this that He says to us, A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me,] and, Because I am going away to the Father? John 16:5, 7, 10, 16-17.

In the same gospel,

I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father. John 16:28.

'Going away to the Father' in these places means uniting the Human Essence to the Divine Essence.
