Postanak 35

Studie

   

1 Bog reče Jakovu: "Ustani, idi gore u Betel te ondje ostani! Načini ondje žrtvenik Bogu koji ti se objavio kad si bježao od svoga brata Ezava!"

2 I Jakov reče svojoj obitelji i svima koji bijahu s njime: "Odbacite tuđe kumire koji se nalaze u vašoj sredini; očistite se i preobucite.

3 Idemo gore u Betel; ondje ću načiniti žrtvenik Bogu, koji me uslišao kad sam bio u nevolji i sa mnom bio na putu kojim sam hodio."

4 Oni predaju Jakovu sve tuđe kumire što su ih imali i naušnice što su bile o njihovim ušima, pa ih Jakov zakopa pod hrast kod Šekema.

5 Kad su se zaputili, strah od Boga spopadne okolišna mjesta, tako da nisu išli u potjeru za Jakovljevim sinovima.

6 Jakov stigne u Luz, to jest Betel, u zemlji kanaanskoj, i sav puk što je bio s njim.

7 Ondje sagradi žrtvenik i mjesto nazva El Betel, jer mu se ondje Bog objavio kad on bježaše pred svojim bratom Ezavom.

8 Tada umre Rebekina dojilja Debora te je sahraniše pod Betelom, pod hrastom, koji se otad zove "Tužni hrast".

9 Bog se opet objavi Jakovu kad je stigao iz Padan Arama, te ga blagoslovi.

10 Bog mu reče: "Ime ti je Jakov, ali se odsad nećeš zvati Jakov nego će Izrael biti tvoje Ime." Tako ga prozva Izraelom.

11 Onda mu Bog reče: "Ja sam El Šadaj - Bog Svesilni! Budi rodan i množi se! Od tebe poteći će narod, mnoštvo naroda, i kraljevi iz tvog će izaći krila.

12 Zemlju što je dadoh Abrahamu i Izaku tebi predajem; i potomstvu tvojem poslije tebe zemlju ću ovu dati."

13 A onda Bog ode od njega gore.

14 Na mjestu gdje je Bog s njim govorio Jakov uspravi stup, stup od kamena; na njemu prinese žrtvu i izli ulja.

15 A mjesto gdje mu je Bog govorio Jakov nazva Betel.

16 Potom odu iz Betela. Još bijaše malo puta do Efrate, a Rahela se nađe pri porođaju. Napali je teški trudovi.

17 Kad su joj porođajni bolovi bili najteži, reče joj babica: "Ne boj se jer ti je i ovo sin!"

18 Kad se rastavljala s dušom - jer umiraše Rahela - nadjenu sinu ime Ben Oni; ali ga otac prozva Benjamin.

19 Tako umrije Rahela. Sahrane je na putu u Efratu, to jest Betlehem.

20 A na njezinu grobu Jakov podigne spomenik - onaj što je na Rahelinu grobu do danas.

21 Izrael krenu dalje te razape svoj šator s onu stranu Migdal-Edera.

22 Dok je Izrael boravio u onom kraju, ode Ruben i legne s Bilhom, priležnicom svoga oca. Sazna za to Izrael. Izrael je imao dvanaest sinova.

23 S Leom: Rubena, koji je Jakovljev prvorođenac, Šimuna, Levija, Judu, Jisakara i Zebuluna;

24 s Rahelom: Josipa i Benjamina;

25 s Bilhom, Rahelinom sluškinjom: Dana i Naftalija;

26 sa Zilpom, sluškinjom Leinom: Gada i Ašera. To su Jakovljevi sinovi što su mu se rodili u Padan Aramu.

27 Jakov dođe k svome ocu Izaku u Mamru u Kirjat Arbu, to je Hebron - gdje su boravili Abraham i Izak kao pridošlice.

28 Kad je Izaku bilo sto i osamdeset godina, umrije.

29 Izak izdahne i umre, starac i godinama zasićen, te bude pridružen svojim precima. Sahrane ga njegovi sinovi, Ezav i Jakov.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 35

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Here is an excerpt from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that helps explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 4536. The subject treated of in the internal sense of this chapter is the residue in the Lord’s natural, that it was made Divine. The interior things of the natural that were made Divine are here "Israel." The progress toward things still more interior, where is the rational, is described by the birth of Benjamin, and afterwards by the coming of the sons of Jacob to Isaac.

4536. Genesis 35

1. And God said to Jacob, Rise up, go up to Bethel and settle there, and make there an altar to the God who appeared to you when you fled from before Esau your brother.

2. And Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, Remove the gods of the foreigner which are in the midst of you, and be purified, and change your garments.

3. And let us rise up and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar to the God who answered me on the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went. 1

4. And they gave to Jacob all the gods of the foreigner which were in their hand, and the jewels which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5. And they travelled on; and the terror of God was on the cities which were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.

6. And Jacob came to Luz which is in the land of Canaan - that is, Bethel - he and all the people who were with him.

7. And he built an altar there, and called the place El Bethel, for there the gods were revealed to him, when he was fleeing from before his brother.

8. And Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and was buried below Bethel under an oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

9. And God was seen by Jacob again, when he was coming from Paddan Aram; and He blessed him.

10. And God said to him, Your name is Jacob; your name will no longer be called Jacob, but indeed Israel will be your name; and He called his name Israel.

11. And God said to him, I am God Shaddai, be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will go out from your loins.

12. And the land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac I will give to you, and to your seed after you I will give the land.

13. And God went up from over him in the place where He talked to him.

14. And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He talked to him, a stone pillar, and poured out a drink-offering onto it, and poured oil onto it.

15. And Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke to him, Bethel.

16. And they travelled on from Bethel, and there was still a stretch of land to go to Ephrath; and Rachel gave birth, and suffered severely' in giving birth.

17. And it happened in her suffering severely, 2 in giving birth, that the midwife said to her, Do not be afraid, for this also is a son for you.

18. And it happened as her soul was departing, when she was about to die, that she called his name Ben-oni; and his father called him Benjamin.

19. And Rachel died, and was buried on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem.

20. And Jacob set up a pillar over her grave; this is the pillar of Rachel's grave even to this day.

21. And Israel travelled on and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22. And it happened while Israel was residing in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard of it. And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23. The sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun.

24. The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25. And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant-girl: Dan and Naphtali.

26. And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant-girl: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27. And Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, Kiriath Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.

28. And the days of Issac were a hundred and eighty years.

29. And Isaac breathed his last, and died, and was gathered to his peoples, old and full of days. And Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.

CONTENTS

This chapter deals in the internal sense with how all else in the Lord's Natural was made Divine, the interior aspects of the Natural which were made Divine being meant by 'Israel' now. Progress towards aspects even more interior, where the Rational is situated, is described by the birth of Benjamin, and after that by Jacob's sons when they came to Isaac.
