Postanak 33

Studie

   

1 A Jakov podigavši oči svoje pogleda, a to Isav ide, i četiri stotine ljudi s njim. I razdeli decu uz Liju i uz Rahilju i uz dve robinje.

2 I namesti napred robinje i njihovu decu, pa Liju i njenu decu za njima, a najposle Rahilju i Josifa.

3 A sam prođe napred, i pokloni se do zemlje sedam puta dokle dođe do brata svog.

4 A Isav pritrča preda nj i zagrli ga i pade mu oko vrata i celiva ga, i obojica se zaplakaše,

5 I Isav podigavši oči ugleda žene i decu, pa reče: Ko su ti ono? A Jakov reče: Deca, koju Bog milostivo darova sluzi tvom.

6 I pristupiše robinje s decom svojom, i pokloniše se.

7 Potom pristupi i Lija i deca njena, i pokloniše se; a najposle pristupi Josif i Rahilja, i pokloniše se.

8 A Isav reče: Šta će ti čitava vojska ona koju sretoh? A on reče: Da nađem milost pred gospodarem svojim.

9 A Isav reče: Ima, brate, u mene dosta; neka tebi šta je tvoje.

10 A Jakov reče: Ne; ako sam sada našao milost pred tobom, primi dar iz moje ruke, jer videh lice tvoje kao da videh lice Božje, tako si me lepo dočekao.

11 Primi dar moj, koji ti je doveden; jer me je obilato obdario Bog, i imam svega. I navali na nj, te primi.

12 Posle reče Isav: Hajde da idemo, ići ću i ja s tobom.

13 A Jakov mu reče: Zna gospodar moj da su ova deca nejaka, i imam ovaca i krava dojilica, pa ako ih usteram jedan dan, poginuće mi sve stado.

14 Nego gospodar moj neka ide pred slugom svojim, a ja ću polako ići, koliko mogu deca i stoka, dokle dođem ka gospodaru svom u Sir.

15 A Isav reče: A ono da ti ostavim nekoliko ljudi što su sa mnom. A on reče: Na šta? Daj da nađem milost pred gospodarem svojim.

16 I tako Isav vrati se isti dan svojim putem u Sir.

17 A Jakov otide u Sokot, i onde načini sebi kuću a stoci svojoj načini staje; zato nazva ono mesto Sokot.

18 Posle dođe Jakov zdravo u grad Sihem u zemlji hananskoj, vrativši se iz Padan-Arama, i namesti se prema gradu.

19 I kupi komad zemlje, gde razape šator svoj, od sinova Emora oca Sihemovog za sto novaca.

20 I načini onde žrtvenik, i nazva ga: Silni Bog Izrailjev.

4384. Until I come unto my lord unto Seir. That this signifies until they could be conjoined (namely, the truth which is Jacob with the good which is Esau), may be seen from the signification of “Seir,” as being the conjunction in the natural of spiritual things with celestial things, that is, of the truth which is of faith with the good which is of charity. The good with which truth is conjoined in the natural, and in the supreme sense the Lord’s Divine natural as to good conjoined with the truth therein, is what is properly signified by “Seir” in the following passages in the Word. In the prophecy of Moses regarding the sons of Israel:

Jehovah came from Sinai, and arose from Seir unto them; He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came from the ten thousands of holiness (Deuteronomy 33:2).

In the prophecy of Balaam:

I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not nigh; there shall arise a star out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel; and Edom shall be an inheritance, and Seir shall be an inheritance, of his enemies, and Israel shall perform strength (Numbers 24:17-18).

In the song of Deborah and Barak:

O Jehovah, when Thou wentest forth out of Seir, when Thou departedst out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the mountains flowed down, this Sinai before Jehovah the God of Israel (Judges 5:4, (Judges 5:6)).

In Isaiah:

He crieth to me out of Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, The morning cometh, and also the night (Isaiah 21:11-12).

Besides these passages in regard to Seir, see also those cited above (n. 4240).
