创世记 35

Studie

   

1 雅各起来!上伯特利去,在那里;要在那里筑一座,就是你逃避你哥哥以扫的时候向你显现的那位。

2 雅各就对他家中的人并一切与他同在的人:你们要除掉你们中间的外邦,也要自洁,更换衣裳。

3 我们起来,上伯特利去,在那里我要筑一座给神,就是在我遭难的日子应允我的祷告、在我行的上保佑我的那位。

4 他们就把外邦人的像和他们耳朵上的环子交雅各雅各都藏在示剑那里的橡树

5 他们便起行前往。使那周围城邑的人都甚惊惧,就不追赶雅各的众子了。

6 於是雅各和一切与他同在的人到了迦南的路斯,就是伯特利

7 他在那里筑了一座,就给那地方起名伊勒伯特利(就是伯特利之的意思);因为他逃避他哥哥的时候,在那里向他显现。

8 利百加的奶母底波拉死了,就葬在伯特利边橡树底;那棵树名亚伦巴古。

9 雅各从巴旦亚兰回又向他显现,赐福与他,

10 且对他:你的名原是雅各,从今以後不要再雅各,要以色列。这样,他就改名以色列

11 又对他:我是全能的;你要生养众多,将来有一族和多国的民从你而生,又有君从你而出。

12 我所赐亚伯拉罕以撒的,我要赐你与你的裔。

13 就从那与雅各说话地方升上去了。

14 雅各便在那里立了一根柱,在柱子上奠酒,浇

15 雅各就给那地方起名伯特利

16 他们从伯特利起行,离以法他还有一段程,拉结临产甚是艰难。

17 正在艰难的时候,收生婆对他:不要,你又要得一个儿子了。

18 他将近於灵魂要走的时候,就给他儿子起名便俄尼;他父亲却给他起名便雅悯。

19 拉结死了,葬在以法他旁;以法他就是伯利恒

20 雅各在他的坟上立了一统碑,就是拉结的墓碑,到今日还在。

21 以色列起行前往,在以得楼那边支搭帐棚。

22 以色列住在那的时候,流便去与他父亲的妾辟拉同寝,以色列见了。雅各共有十二个儿子。

23 利亚所生的是雅各长子流便,还有西缅、利未、犹大、以萨迦、西布伦。

24 拉结所生的是约瑟、便雅悯。

25 拉结的使女辟拉所生的是但、拿弗他利。

26 利亚的使女悉帕所生的是迦得、亚设。这是雅各在巴旦亚兰所生的儿子。

27 雅各到他父亲以撒那里,到了基列亚巴的幔利,乃是亚伯拉罕以撒寄居的地方;基列亚巴就是希伯仑。

28 以撒共活了一八十岁。

29 以撒年纪老迈,日子满足,气绝而,归到他列祖(原文作本民)那里。他两个儿子以扫雅各把他埋葬了。

3861. 'And she called his name Reuben' means the essential nature of it, which is described. This is clear from the meaning of 'name' and 'calling the name' as the essential nature, dealt with in 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421. That nature itself is described by the statement, 'Because Jehovah has seen my affliction, for now my husband will love me', the literal meaning of the name Reuben. Spiritually however all names in the Word mean real things, as has been shown often, see 1224, 1264, 1876, 1888; and among me ancients when a name was given it meant some state, 340, 1946, 2643, 3422. Here it will be seen that the names of all the sons of Jacob mean the universal attributes of the Church. Also one specific universal attribute has been combined within each name, but what that attribute is no one can possibly know unless he knows the internal sense embodied in the words from which each son's name is derived. That is, he needs to know the internal sense embodied in 'has seen' from which Reuben is derived, and in 'has heard' from which Simeon is derived, and in 'has clung to' from which Levi is derived, and in 'to confess' from which Judah is derived, and so on with all the other sons.

Arcana Coelestia # 3190

3190. 'And they rode on the camels' means the understanding part of the mind, raised up above natural facts. This is clear from the meaning of 'riding' as the understanding when raised up, dealt with in 2761, 2762, and from the meaning of 'camels' as general facts in the natural man, dealt with in 3048, 3071, and so natural facts. The implications of this are that when truth from the natural is raised up into the rational it is borne out of the sphere of worldly light into that of heavenly light - so to speak from the obscurity of night into the brightness of day. For the things that belong to the light of the world, in which all natural objects exist, dwell so to speak in night, compared with things belonging to the light of heaven; but things that belong to the light of heaven, in which all spiritual objects exist, dwell so to speak in daylight, compared with things belonging to the light of the world. Consequently when truth from the natural is raised up towards the rational, the person is raised up at the same time into intelligence and wisdom. All the intelligence and wisdom present with man comes from this source. These are the things meant by the understanding part, raised up above natural facts.
