創世記 33

Studie

   

1 さてヤコブはをあげ、エサウ人を率いて来るのを見た。そこで彼は子供たちを分けてレアとラケルとふたりのつかえめとにわたし、

2 つかえめとその子供たちをまっ先に置き、レアとその子供たちを次に置き、ラケルとヨセフを最後に置いて、

3 みずから彼らのに進み、七たび身を地にかがめて、に近づいた。

4 するとエサウは走ってきて迎え、彼を抱き、そのくびをかかえて口づけし、共に泣いた。

5 エサウはをあげて女と子供たちを見て言った、「あなたと一緒にいるこれらの者はだれですか」。ヤコブは言った、「がしもべに授けられた子供たちです」。

6 そこでつかえめたちはその子供たちと共に近寄ってお辞儀した。

7 レアもまたその子供たちと共に近寄ってお辞儀し、それからヨセフとラケルが近寄ってお辞儀した。

8 するとエサウは言った、「わたしが出会ったあのすべての群れはどうしたのですか」。ヤコブは言った、「わがの前に恵みを得るためです」。

9 エサウは言った、「弟よ、わたしはじゅうぶんもっている。あなたの物はあなたのものにしなさい」。

10 ヤコブは言った、「いいえ、もしわたしがあなたの前に恵みを得るなら、どうか、わたしのから贈り物を受けてください。あなたが喜んでわたしを迎えてくださるので、あなたの見て神の見るように思います。

11 どうかわたしが持ってきた贈り物を受けてください。がわたしを恵まれたので、わたしはじゅうぶんもっていますから」。こうして彼がしいたので、彼は受け取った。

12 そしてエサウは言った、「さあ、立って行こう。わたしが先に行く」。

13 ヤコブは彼に言った、「ごぞんじのように、子供たちは、かよわく、また乳を飲ませているや牛をわたしが世話をしています。もし一日でも歩かせ過ぎたら群れはみな死んでしまいます。

14 わがよ、どうか、しもべの先においでください。わたしはわたしのにいる家畜と子供たちの歩みに合わせて、ゆっくり歩いて行き、セイルでわがと一緒になりましょう」。

15 エサウは言った、「それならわたしが連れている者どものうち幾人かをあなたのもとに残しましょう」。ヤコブは言った、「いいえ、それには及びません。わがの前に恵みを得させてください」。

16 そのエサウセイルへの帰途についた。

17 ヤコブは立ってスコテに行き、自分のためにを建て、また家畜のために小屋を造った。これによってその所の名はスコテと呼ばれている。

18 こうしてヤコブはパダンアラムからきて、無事カナンの地のシケムに着き、宿営した。

19 彼は天幕を張った野の一部をシケムの父ハモルのらのからケシタで買い取り、

20 そこに祭壇を建てて、これをエル・エロヘ・イスラエルと名づけた。

4350. 'Esau ran to meet him' means the influx of Divine Natural Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'running to meet' as influx, and from the representation of 'Esau' as Divine Natural Good, dealt with in 4337, 4340. The reason why 'running to meet' means influx in this case is that Divine Good flows in by way of the internal man and goes to meet truth introduced through the external man, so that the two may be joined together. This is also evident from what follows, for the description which follows concerning his embracing him, falling on his neck, and kissing him, will be seen to mean a joining together 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.
