Genesis 29

Studie

   

1 Derpå fortsatte Jakob sin Vandring og drog til Østens Børns Land.

2 Da fik han Øje på en Brønd på Marken og tre Hjorde af Småkvæg, der var lejrede ved den. Ved den Brønd vandede man Hjordene; og over Hullet lå der en stor Sten,

3 som man først væltede bort, når alle Hjordene var samlede, for siden, når Dyrene var vandet, at vælte den på Plads igen.

4 Jakob spurgte dem: "Hvor er I fra, Brødre?" De svarede: "Fra Karan!"

5 Da spurgte han dem: "Kender I Laban, Nakors Søn?" De svarede: "Ja, ham kender vi godt."

6 Han spurgte da: "Går det ham vel? De svarede: "Ja, det går ham vel; se, hans Datter akel kommer netop med Hjorden derhenne!"

7 Da sagde han: "Det er jo endnu højlys Dag og for tidligt at drive Kvæget sammen; vand Dyrene og før dem ud på Græsgangene!"

8 Men de svarede: "Det kan vi ikke, før alle Hyrderne er samlede; først når de vælter Stenen fra Brøndhullet, kan vi vande Dyrene."

9 Medens han således stod og talte med dem, var akel kommet derhen med sin Faders Hjord, som hun vogtede;

10 og så snart Jakob så sin Morbroder Labans Datter akel og hans Hjord, gik han hen og væltede Stenen fra Brøndhullet og vandede sin Morbroder Labans Hjord.

11 Så kyssede han akel og brast i Gråd;

12 og han fortalte hende; at han var hendes Faders Frænde, en Søn af ebekka: Da skyndte hun sig hjem til sin Fader og fortalte ham det"

13 og så snart Laban hørte om sin Søstersøn Jakob, løb han ham i Møde, omfavnede og kyssede ham og førte ham hjem til sit Hus. Så fortalte Jakob ham alt, hvad der var sket;

14 og Laban sagde: "Ja, du er mit Kød og Blod!" Han blev nu hos ham en Månedstid.

15 sagde Laban til Jakob: "Skulde du tjene mig for intet fordi du er min Frænde? Sig mig. hvad du vil have i Løn!"

16 Nu havde Laban to Døtre; den ældste hed Lea, den yngste akel;

17 Leas Øjne var matte, men akel havde en dejlig Skikkelse og så dejlig ud,

18 og Jakob elskede akel; derfor sagde han: "Jeg vil tjene dig syv År for din yngste Datter akel."

19 Laban svarede: "Jeg giver hende hellere til dig end til en fremmed; bliv kun hos mig!"

20 Så tjente Jakob syv År for akel; og de syntes ham kun nogle få Dage, fordi han elskede hende.

21 Derefter sagde Jakob til Laban: "Giv mig min Hustru, nu min Tjenestetid er ude, at jeg kan gå ind til hende!"

22 Så indbød Laban alle Mændene på Stedet til Gæstebud.

23 Men da Aftenen kom, tog han sin, Datter Lea og bragte hende til ham, og han gik ind til hende.

24 Og Laban gav sin Datter Lea sin Trælkvinde Zilpa til Trælkvinde.

25 Da det nu om Morgenen viste sig at være Lea, sagde Jakob til Laban: "Hvad er det, du har gjort imod mig? Er det ikke for akel, jeg,har tjent hos dig? Hvorfor har, du bedraget mig?"

26 Laban svarede: "Det er ikke Skik og Brug her til Lands at give den yngste bort før den ældste;

27 men lad nu Bryllupsugen gå til Ende, så vil, jeg også give dig hende, imod at du bliver i min Tjeneste syv År til."

28 Det gik Jakob ind på, og da Bryllupsugen var til Ende, gav Laban ham sin Datter akel til Hustru.

29 Og Laban gav sin Datter akel sin Trælkvinde Bilha til Trælkvinde.

30 Så gik Jakob også ind til akel, og han elskede akel højere end Lea. Derpå blev han i Labans Tjeneste syv År til.

31 Da HE EN så, at Lea blev tilsidesat, åbnede han hendes Moderliv, medens akel var ufrugtbar.

32 Så blev Lea frugtsommelig og fødte en Søn, som hun gav Navnet uben; thi hun sagde: "HE EN har set til min Ulykke; nu vil min Mand elske mig!"

33 Siden blev hun frugtsommelig igen og fødte en Søn;og hun sagde: "HE EN hørte, at jeg var tilsidesat, så gav han mig også ham!" Derfor gav hun ham Navnet Simeon.

34 Siden blev hun frugtsommelig igen og fødte en Søn; og hun sagde: "Nu må da endelig min Mand bolde sig til mig, da jeg har født ham tre Sønner." Derfor gav hun ham Navnet Levi.

35 Siden blev hun frugtsommelig igen og fødte en Søn; og hun sagde:"Nu vil jeg prise HE EN!" Derfor gav hun ham Navnet Juda. Så fik hun ikke flere Børn.

3867. Verse 33 And she conceived again and bore a son, and she said, For Jehovah has heard that I was hated and has given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

'She conceived again and bore a son', as previously, means spiritual conception and birth from what is external towards things that are more internal still. 'For Jehovah has heard' means in the highest sense providence, in the internal sense the will of faith, in the interior sense obedience, in the external sense the sense of hearing - faith in the will which is received from the Lord alone being meant here. 'That I was hated' means the state of faith if there is no will corresponding to it. 'And has given me this one also' means that which happens next. 'And she called his name Simeon' means the essential nature of it.

Genesis 29

Studie

   

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

2 He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

4 Jacob said to them, "My relatives, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."

7 He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.

13 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.

15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

24 Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

25 It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

26 Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid.

30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

34 She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi.

35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
