ヨシュア記 4

Studie

   

1 民が皆、ヨルダンを渡り終った時、はヨシュアに言われた、

2 「民のうちから、部族ごとにひとりずつ、合わせて十二人を選び、

3 彼らに命じて言いなさい、『ヨルダンの中で祭司たちがを踏みとどめたその所から、十二を取り、それを携えて渡り、今あなたがたが宿る場所にすえなさい』」。

4 そこでヨシュアはイスラエルの人々のうちから、部族ごとに、ひとりずつ、かねて定めておいた十二人の者を召し寄せ、

5 ヨシュアは彼らに言った、「あなたがたの主の契約の箱のに立って行き、ヨルダンの中に進み入り、イスラエルの人々の部族の数にしたがって、おのおの一つを取り上げ、肩にのせて運びなさい。

6 これはあなたがたのうちに、しるしとなるであろう。後の日になって、あなたがたのどもたちが、『これらのは、どうしたわけですか』と問うならば、

7 その時あなたがたは彼らに、むかしヨルダンの水が、主の契約の箱ので、せきとめられたこと、すなわちその箱がヨルダンを渡った時、ヨルダンの水が、せきとめられたことを告げなければならない。こうして、それらの永久イスラエルの人々の記念となるであろう」。

8 イスラエルの人々はヨシュアが命じたようにし、がヨシュアに言われたように、イスラエルの人々の部族の数にしたがって、ヨルダンの中から十二のを取り、それを携えて渡り、彼らの宿る場所へ行って、そこにすえた。

9 ヨシュアはまたヨルダンの中で、契約の箱をかく祭司たちが、を踏みとどめた所に、十二のを立てたが、今日まで、そこに残っている。

10 箱をかく祭司たちは、がヨシュアに命じて、民に告げさせられた事が、すべて行われてしまうまで、ヨルダンの中に立っていた。すべてモーセがヨシュアに命じたとおりである。民は急いで渡った。

11 民がみな渡り終った時、主の箱と祭司たちとは、民の見るで渡った。

12 ルベンの孫とガド孫、およびマナセの部族の半ばは、モーセが彼らに命じていたように武装して、イスラエルの人々に先立って渡り、

13 戦いのために武装したおおよそ四万の者が戦うため、主のに渡って、エリコの平野に着いた。

14 このイスラエルのすべての人の前にヨシュアを尊い者とされたので、彼らはみなモーセを敬ったように、ヨシュアを一生のあいだ敬った。

15 はヨシュアに言われた、

16 「あかしの箱をかく祭司たちに命じて、ヨルダンから上がってこさせなさい」。

17 ヨシュアは祭司たちに命じて言った、「ヨルダンから上がってきなさい」。

18 主の契約の箱をかく祭司たちはヨルダンの中から上がってきたが、祭司たちのの裏がかわいた地にあがると同時に、ヨルダンの水はもとの所に流れかえって、以前のように、その岸にことごとくあふれた。

19 民は正月の十日に、ヨルダンから上がってきて、エリコの東の境にあるギルガル宿営した。

20 そしてヨシュアは、人々がヨルダンから取ってきた十二のギルガルに立て、

21 イスラエルの人々に言った、「後の日にあなたがたのどもたちが、その父に『これらのは、どうしたわけですか』とたずねたならば、

22 『むかしイスラエルがこのヨルダンを、かわいた地にされて渡ったのだ』と言って、そのどもたちに知らせなければならない。

23 すなわちあなたがたのヨルダンの水を、あなたがたのために干しからして、あなたがたを渡らせてくださった。それはあたかも、あなたがたのが、われわれのために紅を干しからして、われわれを渡らせてくださったのと同じである。

24 このようにされたのは、地のすべての民に、主のに力のあることを知らせ、あなたがたのをつねに恐れさせるためである」。

Hasten

  

'Hasten,' in reference to Joseph, as mentioned in Genesis 43:30, signifies what bursts forth from the inmost. This is because his compassions were moved, which signifies mercy from love. When this bursts forth, it bursts forth from the inmost, and this at the first striking of the eye, or at the first moment of thought, therefore, 'hastening,' signifies nothing but 'from the inmost.' 'To hasten' or 'hastiness' in the internal sense, does not denote what is quick, but what is certain, and also what is full, thus every event. For 'haste' involves time, and in the spiritual world there is not time, but instead of time there is state, thus the haste of time has relation to such a quality of state that corresponds, and the quality of the state which corresponds is that there are several things which are efficient together, from which results a certain and full event.

Genesis 30

Studie

   

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."

2 Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

3 She said, "Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her."

4 She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore called she his name Dan.

7 Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

8 Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed." She named him Naphtali.

9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

10 Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

11 Leah said, "How fortunate!" She named him Gad.

12 Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a second son.

13 Leah said, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me Happy." She named him Asher.

14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

15 She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." He lay with her that night.

17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar.

19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20 Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun.

21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach."

24 She named him Joseph, saying, "May Yahweh add another son to me."

25 It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you."

27 Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake."

28 He said, "Appoint me your wages, and I will give it."

29 He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?"

31 He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.

32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen."

34 Laban said, "Behold, let it be according to your word."

35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.

39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and didn't put them into Laban's flock.

41 It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn't put them in. So the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
