Genesis 33

Studie

   

1 At itiningin ni Jacob ang kaniyang mga mata at tumingin, at, narito, si Esau ay dumarating, at kasama niya'y apat na raang tao. At kaniyang binahagi ang mga bata kay Lea at kay Raquel, at sa dalawang alilang babae.

2 At inilagay niya ang mga alila na kasama ng kanilang mga anak na pinakapanguna, at si Lea na kasama ng kaniyang mga anak na pinakapangalawa, at si Raquel at si Jose na pinakahuli.

3 At siya naman ay lumagpas sa unahan nila, at yumukod sa lupa na makapito, hanggang sa nalapit sa kaniyang kapatid.

4 At tumakbo si Esau na sinalubong siya, at niyakap siya at niyapos siya sa leeg, at hinagkan siya: at nagiyakan,

5 At itiningin ni Esau ang mga mata niya, at nakita ang mga babae at ang mga bata, at sinabi, Sinosino itong mga kasama mo? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang mga anak na ipinagkaloob ng Dios sa iyong lingkod.

6 Nang magkagayo'y nagsilapit ang mga alilang babae, sila at ang kanilang mga anak, at nagsiyukod.

7 At lumapit din si Lea at ang kaniyang mga anak, at nagsiyukod: at pagkatapos ay nagsilapit si Jose at si Raquel, at nagsiyukod.

8 At kaniyang sinabi, Anong palagay mo sa buong karamihang ito na nasumpungan ko? At kaniyang sinabi, Nang makasundo ng biyaya sa paningin ng aking panginoon.

9 At sinabi ni Esau, Mayroon akong kasiya; kapatid ko, ariin mo ang iyo.

10 At sinabi sa kaniya ni Jacob, Hindi, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na kung ngayo'y nakasundo ako ng biyaya sa iyong paningin, ay tanggapin mo nga ang aking kaloob sa aking kamay: yamang nakita ko ang iyong mukha, na gaya ng nakakakita ng mukha ng Dios, at ikaw ay nalugod sa akin.

11 Tanggapin mo, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, ang kaloob na dala sa iyo; sapagka't ipinagkaloob sa akin ng Dios, at mayroon ako ng lahat. At ipinilit sa kaniya, at kaniyang tinanggap.

12 At kaniyang sinabi, Yumaon tayo at tayo'y lumakad, at ako'y mangunguna sa iyo.

13 At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Nalalaman ng aking panginoon na ang mga bata ay mahihina pa at ang mga kawan at ang mga baka ay nagpapasuso: at kung ipagmadali sa isa lamang araw ay mamamatay ang lahat ng kawan.

14 Magpauna ang aking panginoon sa kaniyang lingkod: at ako'y mamamatnubay na dahandahan, ayon sa hakbang ng mga hayop na nasa aking unahan, at ng hakbang ng mga bata, hanggang sa makarating ako sa aking panginoon sa Seir.

15 At sinabi ni Esau, Pahintulutan mong iwan ko sa iyo ang ilan sa mga taong kasama ko. At kaniyang sinabi, Ano pang dahil nito? Makasundo nawa ako ng biyaya sa paningin ng aking panginoon.

16 Gayon nagbalik si Esau ng araw ding yaon sa kaniyang lakad sa Seir.

17 At si Jacob ay naglakbay sa Succoth, at nagtayo ng isang bahay para sa kaniya, at iginawa niya ng mga balag ang kaniyang hayop: kaya't tinawag ang pangalan ng dakong yaon na Succoth.

18 At dumating si Jacob na payapa sa bayan ng Sichem, na nasa lupain ng Canaan, nang siya'y manggaling sa Padan-aram; at siya'y humantong sa tapat ng bayan.

19 At binili ang pitak ng lupa na pinagtayuan ng kaniyang tolda, sa kamay ng mga anak ni Hamor, na ama ni Sichem, ng isang daang putol na salapi.

20 At siya'y nagtindig doon ng isang dambana, at tinawag niyang El-Elohe-Israel.

4392. Therefore he called the name of the place Succoth. That this signifies the quality of this state, is evident from the signification of “calling a name,” as being the quality (n. 144, 145, 1754, 1896, 2009, 2724, 3006, 3421); and from the signification of “place,” as being state (n. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 4321). The quality of this state is what “Succoth” involves, namely, the quality of the state of the holy in truth from good at that time. For “Succoth” means “tents,” and “tents” signify the holy of truth (as shown just above, n. 4391). “Succoth” signifies the like also in David:

I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth; Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the strength of My head, Judah is My lawgiver (Psalms 60:6-7; 108:7-8).

4391. And made booths for his acquisition. 1 That this signifies likewise in general an increase in good and truth then, is evident from the signification of “acquisition,” as being goods and truths in general; and from the signification of “making booths” or tents, as being like that of building a house, namely, to receive an increase of good from truth, with the difference that “building a house” is less general, thus is more interior; and “making booths” or tents is more general, thus more external. The former was for themselves (that is, for Jacob, his women and children), the latter was for the servants, the flocks, and the herds. “Booths” or “tents” in the Word properly signify the holy of truth, and are distinguished from tabernacles, which are also called, “tents,” by the fact that the latter signify the holy of good (n. 414, 1102, 2145, 2152, 4128). In the original language the former are called “Succoth,” but the latter “Ohalim.” The holy of truth is the good which is from truth.

[2] That this is the signification of the booths or tents which are called “Succoth,” is evident also from the following passages in the Word.

In David:

Jehovah God rode upon a cherub and did fly, and was carried upon the wings of the wind; He made darkness His hiding place, and His surroundings His tent [succoth], darkness of waters, clouds of the heavens (Psalms 18:11-12).

And again:

He bowed the heavens when He came down, and thick darkness was under His feet; and He rode upon a cherub and did fly, and was carried upon the wings of the wind; and He put darkness round about Him for tents (succoth), bindings of the waters, clouds of the heavens (2 Samuel 22:10-12); where the subject treated of is Divine revelation or the Word. To “bow the heavens when He came down” denotes to hide the interiors of the Word; “thick darkness under His feet” denotes that the things which appear to man are relatively darkness (such is the literal sense of the Word.) To “ride upon a cherub” denotes that it was so provided; to “put darkness round about Him for tents,” or “His surroundings for His tent,” denotes the holy of truth in its hiding place, namely, within the literal sense; the “bindings of the waters” and “clouds of the heavens,” denote the Word in the letter. (That the “clouds of the heavens” denote the Word in the letter, may be seen above, preface to Genesis 18, and n. 4060.)

[3] The like is signified by these words in Isaiah:

Jehovah will create over every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and over her convocations, a cloud by day, and a smoke and the shining of a flame of fire by night; for over all the glory there shall be a covering. And there shall be a tent [succah] for a shade by day, and for refuge and hiding against flood and rain (Isaiah 4:5-6);

a “cloud” here also denotes the literal sense of the Word; and “glory,” the internal sense; as also in Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27; a “tent” here also denotes the holy of truth. Interior truths are said to be in “hiding,” for the reason that if they had been revealed, they would in that case have been profaned (see n. 3398, 3399, 4289); which is also set forth by these words in David:

Thou hidest them in the hiding place of Thy faces from the ensnaring counsels of a man; Thou hidest them in a tent [succah] by reason of the strife of tongues (Psalms 31:21).

[4] That a “tent” denotes the holy of truth is evident also in Amos:

In that day will I set up the tent [succah] of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches, and I will set up the ruins, and I will build according to the days of eternity (Psalms 9:11);

to “set up the tent of David that is fallen,” denotes to restore the holy of truth after it has perished; “David” denotes the Lord relatively to Divine truth (n. 1888), for a “king” denotes Divine truth (n. 2015, 2069, 3009). As a “tent” signified the holy of truth, and “dwelling in tents,” the derivative worship, therefore the feast of tents, which is called the “feast of tabernacles,” was instituted in the Jewish and Israelitish Church (Leviticus 23:34, 42-43; Deuteronomy 16:13, 16); where also this feast is called the “feast of Succoth,” or “of tents.”
