Genesis 33

Studie

   

1 Kui Jaakob oma silmad üles tõstis ja vaatas, ennäe, siis tuli Eesav ja koos temaga nelisada meest. Ta jaotas nüüd lapsed Lea ja Raaheli ja mõlema teenija vahel,

2 seadis teenijad ja nende lapsed ette, Lea ja tema lapsed nende järele, Raaheli ja Joosepi viimaseiks.

3 Ta ise aga läks nende eel ja kummardas seitse korda maani, kuni ta jõudis oma venna juurde.

4 Aga Eesav jooksis temale vastu ja süleles teda, langes temale kaela ja suudles teda; ja nad nutsid.

5 Siis ta tõstis oma silmad üles ja nägi naisi ja lapsi, ja ta küsis: 'Kes need sul on?' Ja tema vastas: 'Need on lapsed, keda Jumal su sulasele armulikult on andnud.'

6 Ka teenijad astusid ligi, nemad ise ja nende lapsed, ja nad kummardasid.

7 Siis astus ligi ka Lea koos oma lastega ja nad kummardasid; lõppeks astusid ligi Joosep ja Raahel ja kummardasid.

8 Siis ta küsis: 'Mida sa kavatsed kogu selle leeriga, keda ma kohtasin?' Ja tema vastas: 'Oma isanda silmis armu leida!'

9 Aga Eesav ütles: 'Mul eneselgi on küllalt, mu vend. Jäägu sulle, mis sul on!'

10 Kuid Jaakob vastas: 'Sugugi mitte! Kui ma nüüd su silmis olen armu leidnud, siis võta mu kingitus minult vastu! Sest ma olen ju tohtinud näha su palet, otsekui näeks Jumala palet, ja sa oled olnud mu vastu lahke.

11 Võta nüüd minu tervituskink, mis sulle toodi, sest Jumal on olnud mu vastu armuline ja mul on kõike küllalt!' Ja ta käis temale peale, kuni ta võttis.

12 Siis ütles Eesav: 'Hakkame liikuma ja lähme, ja mina käin sinuga rinnu.'

13 Aga Jaakob vastas temale: 'Mu isand näeb ju, et lapsed on väetid ja minu hooleks on imetajad lambad ja lehmad; kui neid liiga kiiresti aetakse ühegi päeva, siis sureb kogu kari.

14 Mingu aga mu isand oma sulase eel ja mina liigun pikkamisi oma ees käiva karja kannul ja laste kannul, kuni ma jõuan oma isanda juurde Seiri.'

15 Eesav ütles: 'Ma jätan siis sinu juurde osa rahvast, kes koos minuga on.' Aga tema vastas: 'Mispärast nõnda? Kui ma ainult oma isanda silmis armu leiaksin!'

16 Ja Eesav läks selsamal päeval oma teed tagasi Seiri.

17 Aga Jaakob liikus Sukkotti, ehitas enesele koja ja tegi oma karjadele lehtkatused; seepärast pandi sellele paigale nimeks Sukkot.

18 Ja Jaakob jõudis Mesopotaamiast tulles õnnelikult Sekemi linna, mis on Kaananimaal, ja lõi linna ees leeri üles.

19 Ta ostis selle väljaosa, kuhu ta oma telgi oli üles löönud, Sekemi isa Hamori lastelt saja rahatüki eest.

20 Ja ta püstitas sinna altari ning pani sellele nimeks 'Jumal, Iisraeli Jumal'.

4354. 'And they wept' means the outward expression. This is clear from the meaning of 'weeping' as the outward expression of grief or else the outward expression of joy, dealt with in 3081, in this case of joy resulting from the joining together of good and truths effected through love.

Genesis 33

Studie

   

1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

2 He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.

5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

6 Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."

9 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."

10 Jacob said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it.

12 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."

13 Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir."

15 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me." He said, "Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred pieces of money.

20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
