1 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς πρὸς ιακωβ ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον βαιθηλ καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου

2 εἶπεν δὲ ιακωβ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς μετ' αὐτοῦ ἄρατε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς μεθ' ὑμῶν ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ καθαρίσασθε καὶ ἀλλάξατε τὰς στολὰς ὑμῶν

3 καὶ ἀναστάντες ἀναβῶμεν εἰς βαιθηλ καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἐπακούσαντί μοι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως ὃς ἦν μετ' ἐμοῦ καὶ διέσωσέν με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθην

4 καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ ιακωβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ ιακωβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον τὴν ἐν σικιμοις καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

5 καὶ ἐξῆρεν ισραηλ ἐκ σικιμων καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

6 ἦλθεν δὲ ιακωβ εἰς λουζα ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ χανααν ἥ ἐστιν βαιθηλ αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός ὃς ἦν μετ' αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου βαιθηλ ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐπεφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

8 ἀπέθανεν δὲ δεββωρα ἡ τροφὸς ρεβεκκας κατώτερον βαιθηλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς βάλανος πένθους

9 ὤφθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς ιακωβ ἔτι ἐν λουζα ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ μεσοποταμίας τῆς συρίας καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός

10 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεός τὸ ὄνομά σου ιακωβ οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι ιακωβ ἀλλ' ισραηλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου

11 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ θεός ἐγὼ ὁ θεός σου αὐξάνου καὶ πληθύνου ἔθνη καὶ συναγωγαὶ ἐθνῶν ἔσονται ἐκ σοῦ καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου ἐξελεύσονται

12 καὶ τὴν γῆν ἣν δέδωκα αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν σοὶ ἔσται καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην

13 ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ

14 καὶ ἔστησεν ιακωβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ στήλην λιθίνην καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν σπονδὴν καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν ἔλαιον

15 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ θεός βαιθηλ

16 ἀπάρας δὲ ιακωβ ἐκ βαιθηλ ἔπηξεν τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου γαδερ ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν χαβραθα εἰς γῆν ἐλθεῖν εφραθα ἔτεκεν ραχηλ καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ

17 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρῶς αὐτὴν τίκτειν εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα θάρσει καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοί ἐστιν υἱός

18 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχήν ἀπέθνῃσκεν γάρ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν βενιαμιν

19 ἀπέθανεν δὲ ραχηλ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εφραθα αὕτη ἐστὶν βηθλεεμ

20 καὶ ἔστησεν ιακωβ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου αὐτῆς αὕτη ἐστὶν στήλη μνημείου ραχηλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

22 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα κατῴκησεν ισραηλ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ ἐπορεύθη ρουβην καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ βαλλας τῆς παλλακῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤκουσεν ισραηλ καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἦσαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ ιακωβ δώδεκα

23 υἱοὶ λειας πρωτότοκος ιακωβ ρουβην συμεων λευι ιουδας ισσαχαρ ζαβουλων

24 υἱοὶ δὲ ραχηλ ιωσηφ καὶ βενιαμιν

25 υἱοὶ δὲ βαλλας παιδίσκης ραχηλ δαν καὶ νεφθαλι

26 υἱοὶ δὲ ζελφας παιδίσκης λειας γαδ καὶ ασηρ οὗτοι υἱοὶ ιακωβ οἳ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ ἐν μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς συρίας

27 ἦλθεν δὲ ιακωβ πρὸς ισαακ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς μαμβρη εἰς πόλιν τοῦ πεδίου αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρων ἐν γῇ χανααν οὗ παρῴκησεν αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ

28 ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι ισαακ ἃς ἔζησεν ἔτη ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα

29 καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ησαυ καὶ ιακωβ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ

4573. 'Be fruitful and multiply' means good, and Divine truth arising out of this. This is clear from the fact that 'being fruitful' has reference to good and 'multiplying' to truth, 43, 55, 913, 983, 2846, 2847.

55. Verse 28 And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, 1 and over every living thing that creeps upon the earth.

Because the most ancient people applied the term Marriage to understanding and will, or faith and love, when joined together, they gave the name Fruitfulness to any good resulting from that marriage, and Multiplication to any truth. For this reason similar expressions occur in the Prophets, as in Ezekiel,

I will multiply upon you man and beast, and they will multiply and be fruitful, and I will resettle you 2 to be as in your ancient times, and I will bless you more than in your former times, and you will know that I am Jehovah, and I will cause man to walk upon you, even My people Israel. Ezekiel 36:8-11.

Here 'man' is used to mean the spiritual man, who is also called Israel, 'ancient times' the Most Ancient Church, 'former times' the Ancient Church which came after the Flood. The reason why 'multiplying', which relates to truth, comes first and why 'being fruitful', which relates to good, follows is that the subject is the person who is to be regenerated, not one who has been regenerated.

[2] When the understanding is coupled to the will, or faith to love, the individual is called by the Lord in Isaiah 'a married land',

Your land will no more be called Desolate, but you will be named My-good-pleasure-is-in-her, and your land, Married; for Jehovah will take His pleasure in you, and your land will be married. Isaiah 62:4.

The resulting fruits which are matters of truth are called 'sons', and the fruits which are matters of good are called 'daughters'. This recurs very frequently in the Word.

[3] The earth is 'being filled' when there are many goods and truths, for when the Lord is 'blessing' and 'saying' - that is, when He is at work - the increase of good and truth is limitless, as the Lord says,

The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field; it is indeed the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of all plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air 3 come and nest in its branches. Matthew 13:31-32.

'A grain of mustard seed' is the good a person has before he becomes spiritual. It is 'the smallest of all seeds' because he imagines that he himself is the source of the good he does. In reality what he does of himself is nothing but evil, yet because he is in a state of being regenerated there is some element of good, though it is quite 'the smallest of all'. Later on when faith is being joined to love it grows larger and becomes 'a plant'. Once it has finally been joined to love it develops into a tree, and at that point 'the birds of the air, 3 which here are truths or intellectual concepts, 'nest in its branches', which are facts.

[4] A person is involved in conflict not only when becoming spiritual, but also when he is spiritual. Hence the statement, 'Subdue the earth, and have dominion over it'.
