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

4570. But Israel shall be thy name. That this signifies the quality of His internal natural, or the quality of the spiritual of this natural, which is “Israel,” and that and He called his name Israel” signifies His internal natural, or the celestial spiritual of the natural, is evident from the signification of “name,” as being quality (see just above, n. 4568); and from the signification of “Israel,” as being the internal of the Lord’s natural. No one can know why Jacob was called Israel unless he knows what the internal natural is, and what the external natural, and further, what is the celestial spiritual of the natural. These things have indeed been explained above, when Jacob was called Israel by the angel; but as they are of such a nature that very little if anything is known about them, it is necessary to explain again what they are.

[2] There are two things in man that are most distinct from each other, namely, the rational and the natural. The rational constitutes the internal man, and the natural the external; but the natural, like the rational, has also its own external and internal. The external of the natural is from the senses of the body, and from what flows in from the world immediately through these senses. By these man has communication with worldly and bodily things. They who are exclusively in this natural are called sensuous men, for in thought they scarcely go beyond this. But the internal of the natural is constituted of the conclusions drawn analytically and analogically from these things in the external, and yet it draws and deduces its conclusions from the senses. Thus the natural has communication through the senses with worldly and bodily things, and through things analogical and analytical with the rational, and thus with the things of the spiritual world. Such is the natural. There also exists an intermediate which communicates with both the external and the internal, thus by the external with what is in the natural world, and by the internal with what is in the spiritual world. This natural is what Jacob specifically represents, and the internal natural is what Israel represents. The case is the same with the rational, namely, that it is external and internal, and also intermediate; but of the Lord’s Divine providence this subject shall be spoken of in connection with Joseph, for Joseph represents the external of the rational.

[3] But what the celestial spiritual is has already been stated, namely, that the celestial is that which is of good, and the spiritual that which is of truth; thus the celestial spiritual is that which is of good from truth. Now as the Lord’s church is external and internal, and as by the descendants of Jacob must be represented the internals of the church by means of externals, Jacob could therefore no longer be named Jacob, but Israel (see what has been said of this above, n. 4286,4292). Be it known moreover that both the rational and the natural are called celestial and spiritual, celestial when they receive good from the Lord, and spiritual when they receive truth from Him; for the good that inflows from the Lord into heaven is called celestial, and the truth is called spiritual. Jacob’s being called “Israel” signifies in the supreme sense that the Lord, advancing to interior things, made the natural in Himself Divine, both as to its external and as to its internal; for in the supreme sense what is represented has reference to Him.
