Бытие 24

Studie

   

1 Авраамъ былъ уже старъ и въ лјтахъ преклонныхъ. Іегова благословилъ Авраама всјмъ.

2 И сказалъ Авраамъ рабу своему, старшему въ домј его, управлявшему всјмъ, что у него было: положи руку твою подъ стегно мое,

3 и клянись мнј Іеговою, Богомъ небесь и Богомъ земли, что ты не возмешь сыну моему жены изъ дочерей Хананеевъ, среди которыхъ я живу;

4 но пойдешь въ землю мою, на родину мою, взять жену сыну моему Исааку.

5 Рабъ сказалъ ему: можетъ быть, не захочетъ женщина идти со мною въ эту землю; долженъ ли я возвратить сына твоего въ землю, изъ которой ты вышелъ?

6 Авраамъ сказалъ ему: берегись, не возвращай сына моего туда.

7 Іегова, Богъ небесъ, Который взялъ меня изъ дома отца моего, и изъ земли рожденія моего, Который објщался мнј, и Который клялся мнј, говоря: потомству твоему дамъ сію землю, Онъ пошлетъ Ангела Своего предъ лицемъ твоимъ, и ты возмешь жену сыну моему оттуда.

8 Если не захочетъ женщина идти съ тобою, ты будешь свободенъ отъ клятвы моей сей; только сына моего не возвращай туда.

9 Тогда рабъ положилъ руку свою подъ стегно Авраама, господина своего, и клялся ему въ семъ.

10 Потомъ рабъ взялъ изъ верблюдовъ господина своего десять верблюдовъ и пошелъ; въ рукахъ у него были также всякія сокровища господина его; онъ всталъ, и пошелъ въ Месопотамію, въ городъ Нахоровъ.

11 И остановилъ верблюдовъ внј города, у источника водъ, подъ вечеръ, въ такое время, когда выходятъ женщины черпать воду.

12 И сказалъ: Іегова, Боже господина моего Авраама! пошли ее сегодня на встрјчу мнј, и сотвори милость съ господиномъ моимъ Авраамомъ.

13 Вотъ, я стою у источника водъ, и дочери жителей города выходятъ черпать воду:

14 итакъ сдјлай, чтобы дјвица, которой я скажу: наклони ведро свое, я напьюсь, и которая скажетъ: пей, я напою и верблюдовъ твоихъ, была та, которую ты указуешь рабу Твоему Исааку; посему узнаю я, что ты творишь милость съ господиномъ моимъ.

15 Еще не окончилъ онъ словъ сихъ, какъ вышла Ревекка, которая родилась отъ Ваѕуила, сына Милки, жены Нахора, брата Авраамова. На плечј ея было ведро.

16 Она была дјвица прекраснаа видомъ, дјва, которой не позналъ мужъ. Она сошла къ источнику, наполнила ведро свое и пошла вверхъ.

17 Тогда рабъ побјжалъ на встрјчу ей, и сказалъ: дай мнј испить немного воды изъ ведра твоего.

18 Она сказала: пей, господинъ мой; и тотчасъ опустила ведро свое на руку свою и напоила его.

19 И когда напоила его, то сказала: я стану черпать и верблюдамъ твоимъ, нока напьются.

20 И тотчасъ вылила ведро свое въ пойло, и побјжала опять къ колодезю почерпнуть, и начерпала всјмъ верблюдамъ его.

21 Онъ смотрјлъ на нее съ изумленіемъ, въ молчаніи, желая уразумјть, благословилъ ли Іегова путь его или нјтъ.

22 Когда же верблюды перестали пить; тогда онъ взялъ золотое кольцо, вјсомъ въ полсикля, и два запястья на руки ей, вјсомъ въ десять сиклей золота;

23 и сказалъ: чья ты дочь? скажи мнј; есть ли въ домј отца твоего мјсто намъ ночевать?

24 Она отвјчала ему: я дочь Ваѕуила, сына Милки, котораго она родила Нахору.

25 Притомъ сказала ему: у насъ много и соломы, и корму; и естъ мјсто для ночлега.

26 Тогда онъ падши поклонился Іеговј,

27 и сказалъ: благословенъ Іегова, Богъ господина моего Авраама, Который не оставилъ господина моего милостію Своею и истиною Своею! Іегова прямымъ путемъ привелъ меня въ домъ родственниковъ господина моего.

28 Дјвица же побјжала, и разсказала о семъ приключеніи въ домј матери своей.

29 У Ревекки былъ братъ, именемъ Лаванъ. Лаванъ побјжалъ къ оному человјку за городъ къ источнику.

30 Какъ скоро онъ увидјлъ кольцо и запястья на рукахъ у сестры своей, и услышалъ слова Ревекки, сестры своей, которая говорила: вотъ что сказалъ мнј этотъ человјкъ; то пришелъ къ сему человјку, и нашелъ его стоящимъ съ верблюдами у источника,

31 и сказалъ: войди благословенный Іеговою; что тебј стоять на полј? Я приготовилъ домъ, и мјсто верблюдамъ.

32 Онъ вошелъ въ домъ, и Лаванъ разсјдлалъ верблюдовъ, и далъ соломы и корму верблюдамъ, и воды умыть ноги ему и людямъ, которые были съ нимъ.

33 Потомъ предложена ему пища; но онъ сказалъ: не стану јсть, пока не скажу, что я сказать долженъ. Лаванъ сказалъ: говори!

34 Онъ сказалъ: я рабъ Авраамовъ.

35 Іегова весьма благословилъ господина моего, такъ что онъ сдјлался великимъ; ибо Онъ далъ ему овецъ и воловъ, серебра и золота, рабовъ и рабынь, верблюдовъ и ословъ.

36 Сарра, жена господина моего, уже состарјвшись, родила господину моему сына, которому онъ и отдалъ все, что у него было.

37 И взялъ съ меня клятву господинъ мой, сказавъ: не бери жены сыну моему изъ дочерей Хананеевъ, въ землј которыхъ я живу;

38 а поди въ домъ отца моего, и къ племени моему, взять жену сыну моему.

39 Когда же я сказалъ господину моему: можетъ быть, не пойдетъ женщина со мною;

40 то онъ сказалъ мнј: Іегова, предъ лицемъ Котораго я хожу, пошлетъ съ тобою Ангела Своего, и благословитъ путь твой, и ты возмешь жену сыну моему изъ племени моего, и изъ дома отца моего.

41 Тогда будешь ты свободенъ отъ клятвы моей, когда сходишь къ родственникамъ моимъ; если они не дадутъ тебј, то будешь свободенъ оть клятвы моей.

42 Итакъ я нынј пришелъ къ источнику, и сказалъ: Іегова, Боже господина моего Авраама! если есть благословеніе Твое надъ путемъ моимъ, который я совершаю;

43 то, вотъ, я стою у источника водъ; сдјлай же, чтобы дјвица, которая выйдетъ почерпнуть воды и которой я скажу: дай мнј испить немного воды изъ ведра твоего,

44 и которая скажетъ мнј: и ты пей, и верблюдамъ твоимъ я начерпаю, была та жена, которую Іегова указуетъ сыну господина моего.

45 Еще не окончилъ я словъ сихъ въ сердцј моемъ. какъ вышла Ревекка, съ ведромъ на плечј, и сошла къ источнику и почерпнула; тогда я сказалъ ей: напой меня.

46 Она тотчасъ опустила съ себя ведро свое, и сказала: пей; я напою и верблюдовъ твоихъ. Итакъ я пилъ, и верблюдовъ она напоила.

47 И когда я спросилъ ее и сказалъ: чья ты дочь? она сказала: дочь Ваѕуила, сына Нахорова, котораго родила ему Милка. Тогда я вдјлъ кольцо въ ноздри ея, и запястья надјлъ на руки ея.

48 И падши поклонился Іеговј, и благословилъ Іегову, Бога господина моего Авраама, Который прямымъ путемъ привелъ меня, чтобы дочь брата господина моего взять за сына его.

49 Итакъ теперь, если вы намјрены сотворить милость и истину съ господиномъ моимъ, скажите мнј; и если нјтъ, скажите мнј, чтобы мнј обратиться или направо, или налјво.

50 Лаванъ и Ваѕуилъ сказали въ отвјтъ: отъ Іеговы происходятъ дјло сіе; мы не можемъ сказать тебј вопреки ни худаго, ни добраго.

51 Вотъ Ревекка предъ тобою; возми и поди; да будетъ она женою сыну господина твоего, какъ сказалъ Іегова.

52 Когда рабъ Авраамовъ услышалъ слова ихъ: то поклонился Іеговј до земли.

53 И вынулъ рабъ серебрянныя вещи, и золотыя вещи, и одежды, и далъ Ревеккј; также и брату ея, и матери ея далъ богатые дары.

54 По семъ онъ, и люди бывшіе съ нимъ, јли и пили, и ночевали. И когда встали по утру: то онъ сказалъ: отпустите меня къ господину моему.

55 Но братъ ея и ея мать сказали: пусть побудетъ съ нами дјвица дней хотя десять; потомъ пойдешь.

56 Онъ сказалъ имъ: не удерживайте меня, ибо Іегова благословилъ путь мой; отпустите меня, и я пойду къ господину моему.

57 Они сказали: призовемъ дјвицу, и спросимъ, что она скажетъ.

58 И призвали Ревекку, и сказали ей: пойдешь ли съ симъ человјкомъ? Она отвјчала: пойду.

59 Итакъ отпустили Ревекку сестру свою, и кормилицу ея, и раба Авраамова, и людей его.

60 И благословили Ревекку, и сказали ей: Сестра наша! да родятся отъ тебя тысячи тысячъ, И да владјетъ потомство твое жилищами враговъ своихъ!

61 И встала Ревекка, и рабыня ея, и сјли на верблюдовъ, я појхали за тјмъ человјкомъ. Такимъ образомъ рабъ взялъ Ревекку, и пошелъ.

62 Между тјмъ Исаакъ шелъ изъ Беэр-лахай-рои; ибо жилъ онъ въ землј полуденной.

63 При наступленіи вечера, Исаакъ вышелъ въ поле для размышленія; и возвелъ очи свои, и видитъ: вотъ, идутъ верблюды.

64 Ревекка возвела очи свои, и, увидя Исаака, соскочила съ верблюда,

65 и сказала рабу: кто зтотъ человјкъ, идущій по полю на встрјчу намъ? рабъ отвјчалъ: зто господинъ мой. Тогда она взяла покрывало, и покрылась.

66 Рабъ же разсказалъ Исааку все, что сдјлалъ.

67 И ввелъ ее Исаакъ въ шатеръ Сарры, матери своей; и взялъ Ревекку, и она сдјлалась ему женою, и онъ возлюбилъ ее; и утјшился Исаакъ въ печали по матери своей.

3182. They sent away Rebekah their sister. That this signifies separation from the affection of Divine truth, is evident from the signification of “sending,” as denoting to be separated; and from the representation of Rebekah the sister, as being the affection of Divine truth (see n. 3077, 3179; that “sister” is truth may be seen above, n. 1495, 2508, 2524, 2556, 3160). How the case herein is, may be seen from what has been said and shown above in this chapter; but to make the matter plainer, a few words more shall be said. When the truth which is to be initiated and conjoined with good is elevated out of the natural, it is separated from what is therein; and this separation is what is signified by their sending away Rebekah their sister. Truth is separated when the man no longer from truth regards good, but from good truth; or what is the same, when he no longer from doctrine regards life, but from life doctrine. For example: doctrine teaches the truth that no one is to be held in hatred; for whoever holds another in hatred, kills him every moment. In early life a man scarcely admits the truth of this, but as he advances in age and is being reformed, he accounts this as one of the doctrinal things according to which he ought to live. At last he lives according to it; and then he no longer thinks from the doctrine, but acts from the life. When this is the case, this truth of doctrine is elevated out of the natural, and indeed is separated from the natural and implanted in good in the rational; and this being effected he no longer suffers the natural man by any of its sophistry to call it in doubt; nay, he does not suffer the natural man to reason against it.

Genesis 24

Studie

   

1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things.

2 Abraham said to his servant, the elder of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please put your hand under my thigh.

3 I will make you swear by Yahweh, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I live.

4 But you shall go to my country, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son Isaac."

5 The servant said to him, "What if the woman isn't willing to follow me to this land? Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?"

6 Abraham said to him, "Beware that you don't bring my son there again.

7 Yahweh, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house, and from the land of my birth, who spoke to me, and who swore to me, saying, 'I will give this land to your seed.' He will send his angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

8 If the woman isn't willing to follow you, then you shall be clear from this my oath. Only you shall not bring my son there again."

9 The servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

10 The servant took ten camels, of his master's camels, and departed, having a variety of good things of his master's with him. He arose, and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

11 He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening, the time that women go out to draw water.

12 He said, "Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

13 Behold, I am standing by the spring of water. The daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

14 Let it happen, that the young lady to whom I will say, 'Please let down your pitcher, that I may drink,' and she will say, 'drink, and I will also give your camels a drink,'--let her be the one you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I will know that you have shown kindness to my master."

15 It happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, with her pitcher on her shoulder.

16 The young lady was very beautiful to look at, a virgin, neither had any man known her. She went down to the spring, filled her pitcher, and came up.

17 The servant ran to meet her, and said, "Please give me a drink, a little water from your pitcher."

18 She said, "Drink, my lord." She hurried, and let down her pitcher on her hand, and gave him Drink.

19 When she had done giving him drink, she said, "I will also draw for your camels, until they have done drinking."

20 She hurried, and emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran again to the well to draw, and drew for all his camels.

21 The man looked steadfastly at her, remaining silent, to know whether Yahweh had made his journey prosperous or not.

22 It happened, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden ring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold,

23 and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me. Is there room in your father's house for us to lodge in?"

24 She said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor."

25 She said moreover to him, "We have both straw and provender enough, and room to lodge in."

26 The man bowed his head, and worshiped Yahweh.

27 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken his loving kindness and his truth toward my master. As for me, Yahweh has led me in the way to the house of my master's relatives."

28 The young lady ran, and told her mother's house about these words.

29 Rebekah had a brother, and his name was Laban. Laban ran out to the man, to the spring.

30 It happened, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister's hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," that he came to the man. Behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

31 He said, "Come in, you blessed of Yahweh. Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and room for the camels."

32 The man came into the house, and he unloaded the camels. He gave straw and provender for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

33 Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." He said, "Speak on."

34 He said, "I am Abraham's servant.

35 Yahweh has blessed my master greatly. He has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male servants and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

36 Sarah, my master's wife, bore a son to my master when she was old. He has given all that he has to him.

37 My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live,

38 but you shall go to my father's house, and to my relatives, and take a wife for my son.'

39 I asked my master, 'What if the woman will not follow me?'

40 He said to me, 'Yahweh, before whom I walk, will send his angel with you, and prosper your way. You shall take a wife for my son of my relatives, and of my father's house.

41 Then will you be clear from my oath, when you come to my relatives. If they don't give her to you, you shall be clear from my oath.'

42 I came this day to the spring, and said, 'Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, if now you do prosper my way which I go--

43 behold, I am standing by this spring of water. Let it happen, that the maiden who comes forth to draw, to whom I will say, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,"

44 and she will tell me, "Drink, and I will also draw for your camels,"--let her be the woman whom Yahweh has appointed for my master's son.'

45 Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came forth with her pitcher on her shoulder. She went down to the spring, and drew. I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'

46 She hurried and let down her pitcher from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a Drink.' So I drank, and she also gave the camels a Drink.

47 I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' She said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' I put the ring on her nose, and the bracelets on her hands.

48 I bowed my head, and worshiped Yahweh, and blessed Yahweh, the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the right way to take my master's brother's daughter for his son.

49 Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. If not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand, or to the left."

50 Then Laban and Bethuel answered, "The thing proceeds from Yahweh. We can't speak to you bad or good.

51 Behold, Rebekah is before you. Take her, and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as Yahweh has spoken."

52 It happened that when Abraham's servant heard their words, he bowed himself down to the earth to Yahweh.

53 The servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.

54 They ate and drank, he and the men who were with him, and stayed all night. They rose up in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master."

55 Her brother and her mother said, "Let the young lady stay with us a few days, at least ten. After that she will go."

56 He said to them, "Don't hinder me, since Yahweh has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

57 They said, "We will call the young lady, and ask her."

58 They called Rebekah, and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" She said, "I will go."

59 They sent away Rebekah, their sister, with her nurse, Abraham's servant, and his men.

60 They blessed Rebekah, and said to her, "Our sister, may you be the mother of thousands of ten thousands, and let your seed possess the gate of those who hate them."

61 Rebekah arose with her ladies. They rode on the camels, and followed the man. The servant took Rebekah, and went his way.

62 Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he lived in the land of the South.

63 Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the evening. He lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, there were camels coming.

64 Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.

65 She said to the servant, "Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." She took her veil, and covered herself.

66 The servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

67 Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife. He loved her. Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
