Бытие 38

Studie

   

1 Въ то время случилось, что Іуда, отошедши отъ братьевъ своихъ, поставилъ шатеръ свой въ сосјдствј одного Одолламитянина, которому имя Хира.

2 Тамъ увидјлъ Іуда дочь одного Хананеянина, которому имя: Шуа, и взялъ ее за себя, и вошелъ къ ней.

3 Она зачала, и родила сына; и онъ нарекъ ему имя: Иръ.

4 И зачала опять, и родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: Онанъ.

5 Потомъ и еще родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: Шела. Онъ былъ въ Хезивј, когда она родила сего.

6 И взялъ Іуда за Ира, первенца своего, жену, именемъ Ѕамарь.

7 Иръ, первенецъ Іудинъ, былъ неблагоугоденъ предъ очами Іеговы; и Іегова умертвилъ его.

8 Тогда Іуда сказалъ Онану: войди къ женј брата твоего, вступи у ней въ права деверя, и возстанови сјмя брату твоему.

9 Онанъ зналъ, что сјмя будетъ не ему; и потому, когда входилъ къ женј брата своего, погублялъ сјмя пролитіемъ на землю, чтобы не дать сјмени брату своему.

10 То, что онъ дјлалъ, было зло предъ очами Іеговы: посему Онъ умертвилъ и его.

11 Тогда Іуда сказалъ Ѕамарј, невјсткј своей: оставайся вдовою въ домј отца твоего, пока подростетъ сынъ мой Шела. Ибо онъ сказалъ въ умј своемъ: не умеръ бы и онъ подобно братьямъ его. Ѕамарь пошла, и осталась въ домј отца своего.

12 По прошествіи немалаго времени умерла дочь Шуи, жена Іудина. Іуда, утјшившись, пошелъ въ Ѕимну, къ стригущимъ скотъ его, самъ и Хира другъ его, Одолламитянинъ.

13 И дали Ѕамари вјсть, говоря: вотъ, свекоръ твой идетъ въ Ѕимну, стричь скотъ свой.

14 Тогда она сняла съ себя одежду вдовства своего, покрыла себя покрываломъ, и, закрывшись, сјла у воротъ Енаима, по дорогј въ Ѕимну. Ибо видјла, что Шела выросъ, а она не дана ему въ жену.

15 Іуда, увидя ее, почелъ ее за блудницу; потому что она закрыла лице свое.

16 Онъ поворотилъ къ ней съ дороги, и сказалъ: войду я къ тебј. Ибо не зналъ, что это невјстка его. Она сказала: что ты дашь мнј за то, что войдешь ко мнј?

17 Онъ отвјчалъ: я пришлю тебј козленка изъ стада. Она сказала: дашь ли ты мнј залогъ, пока пришлешь?

18 Онъ сказалъ: какой дать тебј залогь? она отвјчала: печать твою, и цјпочку твою, и трость твою, которая въ рукј твоей. Онъ отдалъ ей сіе, и вошелъ къ ней; и она зачала отъ него.

19 И вставъ, пошла, сняла съ себя покрывало свое, и одјлась въ одежду вдовства своего.

20 Іуда же послалъ козленка черезъ друга своего Одолламитянина, чтобы возвратить залогъ изъ руки женщины; но онъ не нашелъ ея.

21 И спросилъ жителей того мјста, говоря: гдј блудница, которая была въ Енаимј при дорогј? но они отвјчали: здјсь не было блудницы,

22 И такъ онъ возвратился къ Іудј, и сказалъ: я не нашелъ ея; да и жители мјста того сказали: здјсь не было блудницы.

23 Сказалъ Іуда: пусть она возметъ себј, чтобы не стали надъ нами смјяться: вотъ, я послалъ этого козленка; но ты не нашелъ ея.

24 Прошло около трехъ мјсяцевъ, и сказали Іудј, говоря: Ѕамарь, невјстка твоя, впала въ блудъ, и вотъ она беременна отъ блуда. Іуда сказалъ: выведите ее, и пусть сожгутъ ее.

25 Но когда повели ее; тогда она послала сказать свекру своему: я беременна отъ того, чье это. И сказала: узнавай, чья эта печать, и цјпочка, и трость.

26 Іуда узналъ, и сказалъ: она правје меня, потому что я не далъ ея Шелј, сыну моему. Потомъ онъ не позналъ ея болје.

27 Настало время родить ей, и вотъ въ утробј ея близнецы.

28 И случилось во время родовъ ея, что показалась рука одного; тогда повивальная бабка, взявъ, навязала ему на руку червленую нить, сказавъ: этотъ вышелъ первый.

29 Но онъ возвратилъ руку свою; и вотъ вышелъ братъ его. Тогда она сказала: какъ ты расторгъ себј преграду? Отъ сего наречено ему имя: Фаресъ.

30 Потомъ вышелъ братъ его съ червленою нитью на рукј. И наречено ему имя: Зара.

4110. 'Laban had gone to shear his flock' means a state of use and an end in view involving the good meant by 'Laban's flock'. This is clear from the meaning of 'shearing' as use, and so the end in view, for the use that is served is the end in view, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'flock' as good, dealt with in 343, 2566. From this it is evident that the state of use and an end in view is meant by 'going to shear'. The subject now is the separation of intermediate good meant by 'Laban' from the good meant by 'Jacob' which was acquired from that intermediate good. But the nature of this separation cannot be known except from those communities of spirits who are governed by that good and from whom it comes to man. But let some facts be given on this matter which I have learned from my experiences.

[2] There are good spirits, there are spirits of an intermediate kind, and there are evil spirits. These are linked to a person when he is being regenerated, to the end that through them he may be introduced into genuine goods and truths - which the Lord effects by means of angels. But they are the kinds of spirits or communities of spirits who do not accord, except for a time, with the one to be regenerated, and therefore when they have performed their use they are separated. The separation of them is effected in differing ways - the separation of the good spirits in one way, that of the spirits of the intermediate kind in another, and that of the evil spirits in yet another. The separation of the good spirits is effected without their being directly conscious of it, for they know from the Lord's good pleasure that all is well with them wherever they are or to wherever the Lord takes them. But the separation of the spirits of the intermediate kind is effected by many means until they depart in freedom. They are returned to the state of their own good, and consequently to the state of the use they serve and of the end they therefore have in view, so that in that state they may experience the delight and blessing that are their own. But because they have derived pleasure out of their previous connection with the one who is being regenerated they are several times returned to and then released from that connection until they no longer take any delight in staying with him and so depart in freedom. Evil spirits too are indeed removed in freedom, but in a kind of freedom which appears to them to be freedom. They are linked to the person who is being regenerated so that they may introduce negative ideas which have to be dispelled, the intention being that this person may be strengthened all the more in truths and goods. And when he starts to be strengthened in these, those spirits take no delight in staying with him, only in separation from him. In this way they are separated by a feeling of freedom that accompanies their delight. This is how the separation takes place of spirits present with a person when he is being regenerated, and how as a consequence changes of his state as regards good and truth are brought about.

[3] As regards 'sheering a flock' meaning performing a use, this is evident from the consideration that the shearing of a flock in the internal sense means nothing else than a use that is served, for wool is obtained in this way. That the shearing of a flock means a use that is served is also evident from the following in Moses,

Every firstborn that is born among your herds and among your flocks you shall sanctify to Jehovah your God; you shall do no work by means of the firstborn of your oxen, and you shall not shear the first born of your flock. But before Jehovah your God you shall eat it year by year in the place which Jehovah will choose. Deuteronomy 15:19, 10.

Here 'not shearing the firstborn of the flock' is a command not to put it to a domestic use. Because 'the shearing of a flock' meant a use that is served, 'shearing the flock' and 'being present at shearings' are included among important duties and functions, as becomes clear from the reference in Genesis 38:12-13, to Judah shearing his flock, and from that to the sons of David in 2 Samuel,

So it was after two full years, that Absalom had shearers in Baalhazor, which is in Ephraim; and Absalom called all the king's sons. And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold, I beg you, your servant has shearers; let the king go, I beg you, and his servants, with your servant. 2 Samuel 13:23-24.
