Postanak 35

Studie

   

1 A Bog reče Jakovu: Ustani, idi gore u Vetilj i onde stani; i načini onde žrtvenik Bogu, koji ti se javio kad si bežao od Isava brata svog.

2 I Jakov reče porodici svojoj i svima koji behu s njim: Bacite tuđe bogove što su u vas, i očistite se i preobucite se;

3 Pa da se dignemo i idemo gore u Vetilj, da načinim onde žrtvenik Bogu, koji me čuo u dan nevolje moje i bio sa mnom na putu kojim sam išao.

4 I dadoše Jakovu sve bogove tuđe koji behu u njihovim rukama, i oboce, koje imahu u ušima; i Jakov ih zakopa pod hrastom kod Sihema.

5 Potom otidoše. A strah Božji dođe na gradove koji behu oko njih, te se ne digoše u poteru za sinovima Izrailjevim.

6 I Jakov i sva čeljad što beše s njim dođoše u Luz u zemlji hananskoj, a to je Vetilj.

7 I onde načini žrtvenik, i nazva ono mesto: Bog vetiljski, jer mu se onde javi Bog, kad je bežao od brata svog.

8 Tada umre Devora dojkinja Revečina, i pogreboše je ispod Vetilja pod hrastom, koji nazva Jakov Alon-Vakut.

9 I javi se Bog Jakovu opet, pošto iziđe iz Padan-Arama, i blagoslovi ga,

10 I reče mu Bog: Ime ti je Jakov; ali se odsele nećeš zvati Jakov, nego će ti Ime biti Izrailj. I nadede mu Ime Izrailj.

11 I još mu reče Bog: Ja sam Bog Svemogući; rasti i množi se; narod i mnogi će narodi postati od tebe, i carevi će izaći iz bedara tvojih.

12 I daću ti zemlju koju sam dao Avramu i Isaku, i nakon tebe semenu tvom daću zemlju ovu.

13 Potom otide od njega Bog s mesta gde mu govori.

14 A Jakov metnu spomenik na istom mestu gde mu Bog govori, spomenik od kamena, i pokropi ga kropljenjem, i preli ga uljem.

15 I Jakov prozva mesto gde mu govori Bog Vetilj.

16 I otidoše od Vetilja. A kad im osta još malo puta do Efrate, porodi se Rahilja, i beše joj težak porođaj.

17 I kad se veoma mučaše, reče joj babica: Ne boj se, imaćeš još jednog sina.

18 A kad se rastavljaše s dušom te umiraše, nazva ga Venonija; ali mu otac nadede ime Venijamin.

19 I umre Rahilja, i pogreboše je na putu koji ide u Efratu, a to je Vitlejem.

20 I metnu Jakov spomenik na grob njen. To je spomenik na grobu Rahiljinom do današnjeg dana.

21 Odatle otišavši Izrailj razape šator svoj iza kule migdol-ederske.

22 I kad Izrailj živeše u onoj zemlji, otide Ruvim i leže s Valom inočom oca svog. I to doču Izrailj. A imaše Jakov dvanaest sinova.

23 Sinovi Lijini behu: Ruvim prvenac Jakovljev, i Simeun i Levije i Juda i Isahar i Zavulon;

24 A sinovi Rahiljini: Josif i Venijamin;

25 A sinovi Vale robinje Rahiljine: Dan i Neftalim;

26 A sinovi Zelfe robinje Lijine: Gad i Asir. To su sinovi Jakovljevi, koji mu se rodiše u Padan-Aramu.

27 I Jakov dođe k Isaku ocu svom u Mamriju u Kirijat-Arvu, koje je Hevron, gde Avram i Isak behu došljaci.

28 A Isaku beše sto i osamdeset godina;

29 I onemoćav umre Isak, i bi pribran k rodu svom star i sit života; i pogreboše ga Isav i Jakov sinovi njegovi.

4537. THE INTERNAL SENSE.

Verses 1-4. And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and abide there; and make there an altar unto God who appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from before Esau thy brother. And Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the gods of the stranger which are in the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments; and let us arise, and go up to Bethel, and I will make there an altar unto God who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I walked. And they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. “And God said unto Jacob,” signifies the perception of natural good, such as Jacob now was, from the Divine; “arise, go up to Bethel,” signifies concerning the Divine natural; “and abide there,” signifies life; “and make there an altar unto God who appeared unto thee,” signifies what is holy there; “when thou fleddest from before Esau thy brother,” signifies when truth was set before good; “and Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him,” signifies disposition in natural good, such as there was then; “put away the gods of the stranger which are in the midst of you,” signifies that falsities should be rejected; “and purify yourselves and change your garments,” signifies holiness to be put on; “and let us arise and go up to Bethel,” signifies the Divine natural; “and I will make there an altar to God,” signifies the holy in which interior things are terminated; “who answered me in the day of my distress,” signifies in the state of the setting of truth before good; “and was with me in the way which I walked,” signifies His Divine providence; “and they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the stranger which were in their hand,” signifies that it rejected all falsities as much as possible; “and the earrings which were in their ears,” signifies things actual; “and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem,” signifies eternal rejection; “the oak by Shechem” denotes the fallacious natural.
