1 Mosebok 29

Studie

   

1 Så gav Jakob sig atter på veien og drog til Østens barns land.

2 Og da han så sig omkring, fikk han se en brønn på marken, og ved den lå det tre flokker småfe. for av denne brønn vannet de feet; men stenen som lå over brønnens åpning, var stor.

3 Der samlet alle feflokkene sig, og gjæterne veltet stenen fra brønnens åpning og vannet småfeet, og så la de stenen tilbake på sitt sted, over brønnens åpning.

4 Jakob spurte dem: Mine brødre, hvor er I fra? De svarte: Vi er fra Karan.

5 Så spurte han dem: Kjenner I Laban, sønn til Nakor? De svarte: Ja, vi kjenner ham.

6 Da spurte han dem: Står det vel til med ham? De svarte: Ja, det gjør det, og se, der kommer hans datter akel med småfeet.

7 Da sa han: Det er jo ennu høi dag, det er ennu ikke tid til å samle buskapen; vann småfeet og gå avsted igjen og gjæt!

8 Men de sa: Det kan vi ikke før alle feflokkene er samlet, og stenen blir veltet fra brønnens åpning; da vanner vi småfeet.

9 Mens han ennu talte med dem, kom akel med sin fars småfe; for det var hun som gjætte.

10 Og da Jakobakel, sin morbror Labans datter, og så småfeet som hørte hans morbror til, gikk han frem og veltet stenen fra brønnens åpning og vannet sin morbror Labans småfe.

11 Og Jakob kysset akel og brast i gråt.

12 Og Jakob fortalte akel at han var hennes fars frende, og at han var sønn til ebekka; da sprang hun avsted og fortalte det til sin far.

13 Da nu Laban fikk høre om Jakob, sin søstersønn, løp han ham i møte og omfavnet ham og kysset ham og førte ham inn i sitt hus; og han fortalte Laban alt det som hadde hendt.

14 Da sa Laban til ham: Sannelig, vi er av samme kjød og blod. Og han blev hos ham en måneds tid.

15 sa Laban til Jakob: Skulde du tjene mig for intet, fordi om du er min frende? Si mig hvad du vil ha i lønn!

16 Nu hadde Laban to døtre, den eldste hette Lea, og den yngste hette akel.

17 Lea hadde matte øine; men akel var vakker av skapning og vakker å se til.

18 Og Jakob hadde akel kjær; derfor sa han: Jeg vil tjene dig syv år for akel, din yngste datter.

19 Laban svarte: Det er bedre at jeg gir henne til dig, enn at jeg gir henne til en annen mann; bli hos mig!

20 Så tjente Jakob i syv år for akel; og disse år syntes han var nogen få dager, fordi han hadde henne kjær.

21 Derefter sa Jakob til Laban: La mig nu få min hustru, for min tid er ute, og jeg vil gå inn til henne.

22 Da samlet Laban alle menn der på stedet og gjorde et gjestebud.

23 Og om aftenen tok han sin datter Lea og førte henne inn til ham, og han gikk inn til henne.

24 Og Laban gav sin trælkvinne Silpa til sin datter Lea som trælkvinne.

25 Men om morgenen - se, da var det Lea. Da sa han til Laban: Hvad er det du har gjort mot mig? Var det ikke for akel jeg tjente hos dig? Hvorfor har du sveket mig?

26 Laban svarte: Det er ikke skikk her hos oss å gi den yngste bort før den eldste.

27 La nu Leas bryllups-uke gå til ende, så vil vi også gi dig den andre, hvis du vil tjene hos mig i syv år til.

28 Og Jakob gjorde så, og han lot bryllups-uken gå til ende. Da gav han ham sin datter akel til hustru.

29 Og Laban gav sin trælkvinne Bilha til sin datter akel som trælkvinne.

30 Så gikk han også inn til akel, og han holdt mere av akel enn av Lea. Siden tjente han ennu syv år til hos Laban.

31 Da Herren så at Lea blev tilsidesatt, åpnet han hennes morsliv; men akel var barnløs.

32 Og Lea blev fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn, og hun kalte ham uben*; for hun sa: Herren har sett til mig i min ulykke; nu vil min mann elske mig. / {* se, en sønn!.}

33 Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Herren har hørt at jeg var tilsidesatt; derfor har han gitt mig også denne sønn. Så kalte hun ham Simeon*. / {* bønnhørelse.}

34 Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Nu må vel endelig min mann holde sig til mig, for jeg har født ham tre sønner. Derfor kalte de ham Levi*. / {* vedhengen.}

35 Og hun blev atter fruktsommelig og fødte en sønn og sa: Nu vil jeg prise Herren. Derfor kalte hun ham Juda*. Så fikk hun ikke flere barn da. / {* den for hvem Herren prises; egentlig: den priste.}

3758. Genesis 29

1. And Jacob lifted up his feet and went to the land of the sons of the east.

2. And he saw, and behold, a well in the field, and behold, three droves of a flock there, lying nearby it; for out of that well they watered the droves; and there was a large stone over the mouth of the well.

3. And all the droves would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from over the mouth of the well and water the flock; and they would put the stone back in its place over the mouth of the well.

4. And Jacob said to them, My brothers, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.

5. And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We do.

6. And he said to them, Does he have peace? 1 And they said, [He has] peace; and behold, Rachel his daughter is coming with the flock.

7. And he said, Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together; water the flock, and go and pasture them.

8. And they said, We cannot until all the droves are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from over the mouth of the well, and we water the flock.

9. While he was still speaking to them Rachel came with the flock which was her father's, for she was a shepherdess.

10. And so it was, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the flock of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob came near and rolled the stone from over the mouth of the well, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

11. And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

12. And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son; and she ran and told her father.

13. And so it was, when Laban heard the news about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. And he told Laban all these things.

14. And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he dwelt with him for a full month.

15. And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother should you serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your reward be?

16. And Laban had two daughters; the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger Rachel.

17. And Leah's eyes were weak; and Rachel was beautiful in form and beautiful in appearance.

18. And Jacob loved Rachel and said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.

19. And Laban said, It is better for me to give her to you than to give her to another man; remain with me.

20. And Jacob served seven years for Rachel; and they were in his eyes like a few days, because of his love for her.

21. And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are completed, and I will go [in] to her.

22. And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

23. And so it was in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him; and he came [in] to her.

24. And Laban gave to her Zilpah his servant-girl - to Leah his daughter to be her servant-girl.

25. And so it was in the morning, that behold it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? And why have you cheated me?

26. And Laban said, It is not done that way in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27. Complete this week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you render with me for another seven years.

28. And Jacob did so and completed this week, and he gave him Rachel his daughter for his wife.

29. And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his servant-girl, to her to be a servant-girl.

30. And he came [in] also to Rachel, and he loved Rachel also, more than Leah; and he served with him yet another seven years.

31. And Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, and He opened her womb; and Rachel was barren.

32. And Leah conceived and bore a son; and she called his name Reuben, for she said, Because Jehovah has seen my affliction; for now my husband (vir) will love me.

33. And she conceived again and bore a son, and she said, For Jehovah has heard that I was hated and has given me this one also; and she called his name Simeon.

34. And she conceived again and bore a son, and she said, Now this time my husband (vir) will cling to me, because I have borne him three sons; therefore she called his name Levi.

35. And she conceived again and bore a son, and she said, This time I will confess Jehovah; therefore she called his name Judah. And she left off bearing.

CONTENTS

In this chapter 'Jacob' refers, in the internal sense, to the Lord's Natural, the subject being how the Good of Truth in His Natural was joined to a kindred good from a Divine source, meant by 'Laban'. First these were so joined through the affection for external truth, meant by 'Leah', and then through the affection for internal truth, meant by 'Rachel'.
