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。

3451. And they said, Seeing we have seen that Jehovah was with thee. That this signifies that they knew the Divine was therein, is evident from the signification of “seeing to see,” as being to observe and thus know for certain; and from the signification of “Jehovah being with thee,” as being that the Divine was therein. The subject here, as before said (n. 3447), is the agreement of the literal sense of the Word with the internal sense; consequently the agreement therewith of the doctrinal things of faith, which are signified by “Abimelech, Ahuzzath, and Phicol,” insofar as they are from the literal sense of the Word; thus also the conjunction of the Lord’s kingdom on earth with His kingdom in the heavens and consequently with the Lord, by the Word. For the Word as to the supreme sense is the Lord Himself; and as to the internal sense it is the Lord’s kingdom itself in the heavens; and as to the literal sense it is the Lord’s kingdom itself on earth, as also before said.

[2] But as regards the Lord’s kingdom on earth, that is, His church, the case is that inasmuch as it has its doctrinal things from the literal sense of the Word, it cannot but be various and diverse in respect to these doctrinal things; that is to say, one society will profess one thing to be a truth of faith, because it is so said in the Word, and another society will profess another thing, also because it is so said; and so on. Consequently, as the Lord’s church has its doctrinal things from the literal sense of the Word, it will everywhere differ, and this not only as to societies, but sometimes as to the individuals in a society. Nevertheless a difference in the doctrinal things of faith does not prevent the church from being one, provided there is unanimity as to willing well and doing well.

[3] For example, if anyone should acknowledge as a matter of doctrine that charity is from faith, and at the same time lives in charity toward the neighbor, then indeed he is not in truth as to doctrine, but still he is in truth as to life; consequently there is in him the Lord’s church or kingdom. And again, if anyone should say that good works ought to be done in order that he may have recompense in heaven, according to the literal sense of the Word in Matthew 10:41-42; 25:34-46; and in other places; and yet in doing good works never thinks of merit, he in like manner is in the Lord’s kingdom, because as to life he is in the truth; and because he is such as to life, he readily suffers himself to be instructed that no one can merit heaven, and that works wherein merit is placed are not good. And so in other cases. For the literal sense is such that in many passages it appears opposed to itself; but the reason is that in this sense there are appearances of truth accommodated to those who are in externals, consequently to those who are also in worldly and even in bodily loves.

[4] Here therefore by “Abimelech” those are treated of who are in the doctrinal things of faith, and who as before said are such as make faith that which is essential to salvation; and there is also treated of the agreement of their, doctrinal things with the internal sense; with whom also it is evident that conjunction is effected, but only with those who are in good, that is, with those who, although they make faith essential as to doctrine, still make charity essential as to life; for when with such there is confidence or trust in the Lord, which they call faith itself, then they are in the affection of love to the Lord, consequently as to life they are in good. But see what was said and shown above on this subject, namely: That what is doctrinal does not make the church, but charity (n. 809, 916, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844): That doctrinal things are of no account unless men live according to them (n. 1515): That the church is various as to truths, but is one through charity (n. 3267): That there is a parallelism between the Lord and man as to celestial things which are of good, but not as to spiritual things which are of truth (n. 1831, 1832): That there is one only doctrine, namely, that of love to the Lord and of charity toward the neighbor (n. 3445): That the church would be one if all had charity, although they differed as to worship and doctrinal things (n. 809, 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2982): That the church would be like the Lord’s kingdom in the heavens, if all had charity (n. 2385): That in heaven there are innumerable varieties of good and truth, but that by harmony they nevertheless make a one, like the organs and members of the body (n. 684, 690, 3241).
