Genesis 34

Studie

   

1 At lumabas si Dina na anak ni Lea, na ipinanganak nito kay Jacob, upang tingnan ang mga anak na babae ng lupaing yaon.

2 At siya'y nakita ni Sichem, anak ni Hamor, na Heveo, na prinsipe sa lupain; at siya'y kinuha at sumiping sa kaniya, at siya'y pinangayupapa.

3 At inilakip niya ang kaniyang kaluluwa kay Dina, na anak ni Jacob at kaniyang sininta ang dalaga, at nakiusap ng kalugodlugod sa dalaga.

4 At si Sichem ay nagsalita sa kaniyang amang kay Hamor, na sinabi, Ipakamit mo sa akin ang dalagang ito na maging asawa ko.

5 Nabalitaan nga ni Jacob na dinahas ang kaniyang anak na si Dina; at ang kaniyang mga anak ay nasa kasamahan ng mga hayop niya sa parang: at tumahimik si Jacob hanggang sa sila'y dumating.

6 At nilabas ni Hamor na ama ni Sichem si Jacob upang makiusap sa kaniya.

7 At ang mga anak ni Jacob ay nagsiuwi mula sa parang nang kanilang mabalitaan: at nangagdamdam ang mga lalake, at nagningas ang kanilang galit, sapagka't gumawa ng kaululan sa Israel, na sinipingan ang anak ni Jacob; bagay na di nararapat gawin.

8 At nakiusap si Hamor sa kanila, na sinasabi, Ang kaluluwa ni Sichem na aking anak ay sumasa iyong anak; ipinamamanhik ko sa inyo na ipagkaloob ninyo sa kaniya na maging asawa niya.

9 At magsipagasawa kayo sa amin; ibigay ninyo sa amin ang inyong mga anak na babae, at ibibigay namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae.

10 At tatahan kayong kasama namin; at ang lupain ay sasa harap ninyo; tumahan kayo at mangalakal kayo riyan at magkaroon kayo ng mga pag-aari riyan.

11 At sinabi ni Sichem sa ama ni Dina, at sa mga kapatid niya, Makasundo nawa ako ng biyaya sa inyong mga mata at ang sabihin ninyo sa akin ay aking ibibigay.

12 Hingin ninyo sa akin ang walang bilang na bigay-kaya at kaloob, at aking ibibigay ayon sa sabihin ninyo sa akin; ipagkaloob lamang ninyo sa akin ang dalaga na maging asawa ko.

13 At nagsisagot na may pagdaraya ang mga anak ni Jacob kay Sichem at kay Hamor na kaniyang ama, at sila'y nagsalitaan, sapagka't kaniyang dinahas si Dina na kanilang kapatid.

14 At sinabi niya sa kanila, Hindi namin magagawa ito, na ibigay ang aming kapatid sa isang hindi tuli; sapagka't isang kasiraan ng puri namin.

15 Sa ganitong paraan lamang papayag kami sa inyo: kung kayo'y magiging gaya namin, na mangatuli ang lahat ng lalake sa inyo;

16 Ay ibibigay nga namin sa inyo ang aming mga anak na babae, at makikisama kami sa inyong mga anak na babae, at tatahan kami sa inyo, at tayo'y magiging isa lamang bayan.

17 Datapuwa't kung ayaw ninyo kaming pakinggan, na kayo'y mangatuli; ay dadalhin nga namin ang aming anak na babae at kami ay yayaon.

18 At ang kanilang mga salita ay kinalugdan ni Hamor at ni Sichem, na anak ni Hamor.

19 At hindi iniliban ng binata ang paggawa niyaon, sapagka't nalugod siya sa anak na babae ni Jacob: at siya ang pinarangalang higit sa buong sangbahayan ng kaniyang ama.

20 At si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak ay napasa pintuang-bayan ng kanilang bayan, at sila'y nakiusap sa mga tao sa kanilang bayan, na sinasabi.

21 Ang mga taong ito ay tahimik sa atin; kaya't magsitahan sila sa lupain at magsipangalakal sila riyan; sapagka't narito, ang lupain, ay may malabis na kaluwangan sa kanila; tayo'y makisama sa kanilang mga anak na babae, at ating ibigay sa kanila ang ating mga anak.

22 Sa ganito lamang paraan papayagan tayo ng mga taong iyan, sa pagtahan sa atin, na maging isa lamang bayan, kung patuli ang lahat ng lalake sa atin, na gaya naman nila na mga tuli.

23 Di ba magiging atin ang kanilang mga baka at ang kanilang mga pag-aari at ang lahat nilang hayop? Atin lamang silang payagan, at tatahan sa atin.

24 At pinakinggan si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, ng lahat na lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan; at ang lahat ng lalake ay nagtuli, ang lahat ng lumalabas sa pintuan ng kaniyang bayan.

25 At nangyari, nang ikatlong araw, nang sila'y nangasasaktan, na ang dalawa sa mga anak ni Jacob, si Simeon at si Levi, na mga kapatid ni Dina, na kumuha ang bawa't isa ng kaniyang tabak, at sila'y lihim na pumasok sa bayan, at kanilang pinatay ang lahat ng mga lalake.

26 At kanilang pinatay si Hamor at si Sichem na kaniyang anak, sa talim ng tabak, at kanilang kinuha si Dina sa bahay ni Sichem, at sila'y nagsialis.

27 Nagsiparoon ang mga anak ni Jacob sa mga patay, at kanilang sinamsaman ang bayan, sapagka't kanilang dinahas ang kapatid nila.

28 Kinuha nila ang kanilang mga kawan at ang kanilang mga bakahan, at ang kanilang mga asno, at ang nasa bayan, at ang nasa parang;

29 At ang kanilang buong yaman, at ang lahat ng kanilang mga anak, at mga asawa, ay dinala nilang bihag at samsam, sa makatuwid baga'y lahat na nasa bahay.

30 At sinabi ni Jacob kay Simeon at kay Levi, Ako'y inyong binagabag, na pinapaging mapagtanim ninyo ako sa mga tumatahan sa lupain, sa mga Cananeo, at sa mga Pherezeo; at akong may kaunting tao, ay magpipisan sila laban sa akin, at ako'y sasaktan nila; at lilipulin ako at ang aking sangbahayan.

31 At kanilang sinabi, Aariin ba niya ang aming kapatid na parang isang patutot?

4429. 'To see the daughters of the land' means to get to know the affections for truth, and the Churches which arise from these. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' as getting to know, dealt with frequently already; from the meaning of 'the daughters' as affections, and consequently Churches, dealt with in 2362, 3024, 3963; and from the meaning of 'the land', in this case the land of Canaan, as that area where the Church is, and therefore also the Church itself, dealt with in 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355, 3686, 3705.

[2] The meaning of these things contained in this verse becomes clear from those that follow, for the subject is the representative of the Church which was to be established among the descendants of Jacob. This representative among them could not be established until they had undergone complete vastation so far as interior truths were concerned, that is, until they no longer had any knowledge of them; see 4289. Interior truths are all those which are represented and meant by the religious observances which they were commanded to keep; for every religious observance represented, and was a sign meaning, something in the Lord's kingdom in heaven, and consequently something in the Lord's kingdom on earth, that is, in the Church. The things which they meant and represented are in this instance interior truths. The fact that all the things, each one, which the descendants of Jacob were commanded to observe when a representative of the Church was established among them - which things are laid down in the books of Moses, especially in Exodus and Leviticus - were representatives and meaningful signs of the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom has been shown throughout the explanatory sections. None of these spiritual and celestial things were known to the descendants of Jacob, for the character of those descendants was such that if they had known them they would have profaned them, 301-303, 2520, 3398, 3479, 3769, 4281, 4293. For that reason they did not enter into those representatives until they had undergone complete vastation so far as interior things were concerned. The subject in this chapter therefore is those truths and that people's annihilation of them.

[3] The representatives which the descendants of Jacob were commanded to observe were not new, the majority being like those that had been in use formerly among the Ancients. Unlike the descendants of Jacob however, that is, unlike the Jews and Israelites, the Ancients did not worship external things but internal ones. Through internal things they acknowledged the Lord Himself. Remnants of the Church from ancient times still existed in the land of Canaan, especially among those who were called Hittites and Hivites. This is why those nations represent the truths of the Church. From all this one may now have some idea of what is meant by Dinah, the daughter of Jacob by Leah, going out to see the daughters of the land. For 'Dinah' represents the external Church such as was established among the descendants of Jacob, while 'the daughters of the land' means Churches existing among the Ancients. Everywhere in the Word Churches are meant in its internal sense by 'daughters', see 2362, 3024, where this meaning has been shown; and 'land' means an area and a nation where the Church exists, and so means the Church, 662, 1066, 1067, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928, 3355, 3686, 3705.

4526. To take further the correspondence of the sight of the eye, begun at the end of the previous chapter, it should be recognized that its correspondence is with the things of the understanding, for the understanding is internal sight and this internal sight functions in the light which is above the light of the world. The reason why man is able to acquire intelligence to himself by means of the things which are seen by him in the light of the world is that a higher light, or the light of heaven, flows into the objects made visible by the light of the world and causes them to be seen in a representative and correspondential fashion. For the light that is above the light of the world is that which proceeds from the Lord who enlightens the whole of heaven. Intelligence and wisdom themselves which come from the Lord are seen there as light, and it is this light which constitutes man's understanding or internal sight. When that light is flowing in through the understanding into the objects made visible by the light of the world it causes them to be seen in a representative and correspondential fashion, and so to be seen with understanding. And because the sight of the eye which operates in the natural world corresponds to the sight of the understanding which operates in the spiritual world, it corresponds to the truths of faith, for these belong to a genuine understanding. Indeed truths constitute the whole understanding of man, for every part of his thought revolves around the matter of whether something is so or not so, that is, whether it is true or not true. As regards the sight of the eye corresponding to the truths and goods of faith, see above in 4410.
