创世记 26

Studie

   

1 亚伯拉罕的日子,那有一次饥荒;这时又有饥荒,以撒就往基拉耳去,到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。

2 耶和华向以撒显现,:你不要去,要住在我所指示你的

3 你寄居在这,我必与你同在,赐福你,因为我要将这些都赐你和你的後裔。我必坚定我向你父亚伯拉罕所起的誓。

4 我要加增你的後裔,像上的那样多,又要将这些都赐你的後裔。并且上万国必因你的後裔得福─

5 都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话,遵守我的吩咐和我的命令、律例、度。

6 以撒在基拉耳。

7 地方的人问到他的妻子,他便:那是我的妹子。原来他:是我的妻子;他心里想:恐地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我,因为他容貌俊美。

8 他在那里住了许久。有一天非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观,见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。

9 亚比米勒召了以撒来,对他:他实在是你的妻子,你怎麽他是你的妹子?以撒:我心里想,恐怕我因他而

10 亚比米勒:你向我们做的是甚麽事呢?民中险些有人和你的妻同寝,把我们陷在罪里。

11 於是亚比米勒晓谕众民说:凡沾着这个,或是他妻子的,定要把他治

12 以撒在那耕种,那一年有倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他,

13 他就昌大,日增月盛,成了大富户。

14 他有羊群牛群,又有许多仆人,非利士人就嫉妒他。

15 当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的日子,他父亲仆人非利士人全都塞住,满了土。

16 亚比米勒对以撒:你离开我们去罢。因为你比我们强盛得多。

17 以撒就离开那里,在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚,在那里。

18 当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世之日所非利士人亚伯拉罕塞住了,以撒就重新出来,仍照他父亲那些名字

19 以撒的仆人,便得了一口活

20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争竞,:这是我们的。以撒就给那起名埃色(就是相争的意思),因为他们和他相争。

21 以撒的仆人又了一口,他们又为这争竞,因此以撒给这起名西提拿(就是为敌的意思)。

22 以撒离开那里,又了一口,他们不为这争竞了,他就给那起名利河伯(就是宽阔的意思)。他耶和华现在给我们宽阔之我们必在这昌盛。

23 以撒从那里上别是巴去。

24 当夜耶和华向他显现,:我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的,不要惧!因为我与你同在,要赐福给你,并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故,使你的後裔繁多。

25 以撒就在那里筑了一座,求告耶和华的名,并且支搭帐棚;他的仆人便在那里了一口

26 亚比米勒,同他的朋友亚户撒和他的军长非各,从基拉耳来见以撒。

27 以撒对他们:你们既然恨我,打发我走了,为甚麽到我这里呢?

28 他们我们明明的耶和华与你同在,便,不如我们两下彼此起誓,彼此立约,

29 使你不害我们,正如我们未曾害你,一味的厚待你,并且打发你平平安安的走。你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。

30 以撒就为他们设摆筵席,他们便吃了了。

31 他们清起来彼此起誓。以撒打发他们走,他们就平平安安的离开他走了。

32 一天以撒的仆人,将的事告诉:我们得了了。

33 他就给那井起名示巴;因此那城做别是巴,直到今日。

34 以扫四十岁的时候娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴,与赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。

35 他们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦。

3406. 'And Jehovah blessed him' means as regards the good that flows from love within them. This is clear from the meaning of 'being blessed' as being enriched with every celestial and spiritual good, dealt with in 981, 1731, 2846; so that 'being blessed by Jehovah' means being blessed with celestial good that flows from love, for Jehovah is the Being itself (Esse) of love or good, 1735, and therefore the name Jehovah is used when good is the subject but the name God when truth is the subject, 2586, 2769.

981. That 'God blessed' means the Lord's presence and grace is clear from the meaning of 'blessing'. In the Word, in the external sense, 'blessing' means being enriched with all earthly and bodily good. This is also how all people who keep to the external sense explain the Word, as Jews did in the past, and still do so today, and also as Christians do, especially at the present time. Consequently they have focused the Divine blessing, and still do, on wealth, on having plenty of everything, and on personal glory. But in the internal sense 'blessing' means being enriched with all spiritual and celestial good, a blessing which neither does nor can possibly exist unless it comes from the Lord. This is why 'blessing' means the Lord's presence and grace. The Lord's presence and grace carry such blessing within them. The expression 'presence' is used because the Lord is present only in charity, and the subject at this point is the regenerate spiritual man who acts from charity. The Lord is present with everyone, but as is a person's distance from charity, so is the degree of the Lord's presence, or so is He, let me say, more absent, that is, the Lord is more remote.

[2] The reason the expression grace and not mercy is used - a reason, I presume, that has remained unknown up to now - is that celestial people do not talk of grace but of mercy, while spiritual people talk not of mercy but of grace. This difference has its origins in the fact that celestial people acknowledge that the human race is wholly unclean, and in itself excrementitious and hellish, on account of which they plead for the Lord's mercy - mercy being the appropriate word for people in this condition.

[3] Spiritual people however, though they are aware that the human condition is such, do not acknowledge it, for they still remain in, and love, their proprium; and therefore they find it difficult to make mention of mercy but easy to do so of grace. It is the different kind of humility existing with each that produces this verbal difference. The more anyone loves himself and imagines that he is able to do good of himself and so merit salvation, the less he is able to plead for the Lord's mercy. The reason some [are able to plead] for grace at all is that it has become a commonplace expression. When used however it contains little that is the Lord's and much that is a person's own. This anyone can discover in himself when he uses the expression 'the grace of the Lord'.
