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?

4517. To the Canaanite and the Perizzite. That this signifies who are in good and truth, is evident from the signification of the “Canaanite,” as here being those who were in the good of the church, and of the “Perizzite,” as being those who were in the truth of the church. The reason why “the Canaanite and the Perizzite” have this signification is that the Ancient Church was still among them there, as stated just above (n. 4516). For in the land of Canaan there existed people of the Most Ancient Church (see n. 4447, 4454), and also people of the Ancient Church, especially from that Ancient Church called “Hebrew,” for which reason the inhabitants of the land of Canaan were in general called “Hebrews” (Genesis 40:15), and also had altars, and sacrificed, and therefore after they had become idolaters the destruction of their altars was so frequently enjoined. So long therefore as the church or anything of the church remained among them, the good of the church was signified by the “Canaanite,” and the truth of the church by the “Perizzite.” But when everything of the church with them, had been consummated, evil was signified by the “Canaanite,” and falsity by the “Perizzite” (n. 1573, 1574).

Arcana Coelestia # 1573

1573. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land. That this signifies evils and falsities in the external man, is evident from the signification of “the Canaanite,” as being the hereditary evil from the mother in the external man (as before shown, n. 1444); and from the signification of “the Perizzite,” as being the derivative falsity (concerning which see below). That there was with the Lord an evil heredity from the mother in His external man, may be seen above (n. 1414, 1444); and that there was falsity from this, is a necessary consequence; for where there is hereditary evil, there is also falsity; the latter being born of the former. But the falsity that is from evil cannot be born until the man has been imbued with knowledges [scientifica et cognitiones]. Evil has nothing but these into which it may operate or flow; for in this way the evil which is of the will part is turned into falsity in the intellectual part; so that this falsity also was hereditary, because it was born of what was hereditary, and yet was not the falsity that is derived from principles of falsity; but it was in the external man, and there the internal man could see it to be false.

[2] And because there was hereditary evil from the mother before the Lord had been imbued with knowledges, or before Abram sojourned in Egypt, it is said in the preceding chapter, verse 6, that “the Canaanite was in the land,” but not the Perizzite; but here, after He had been imbued with knowledges, it is said that “the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled in the land;” from which it is evident that by “the Canaanite” is signified evil, and by “the Perizzite” falsity. It is also evident from this, that the mention of the Canaanite and the Perizzite is not in any historical series, for in what goes before and in what follows they are not treated of at all; and the same is true of the mention of the Canaanite in the foregoing chapter, verse 6 from all which it is evident that some arcanum lies hidden here which cannot be known except from the internal sense.

[3] Its being said that there was with the Lord hereditary evil from the mother may cause surprise, but as it is here so plainly declared, and as the Lord is treated of in the internal sense, it cannot be doubted that so it was. For no human being can possibly be born of another human being without thence deriving evil. But the hereditary evil derived from the father is one thing, and that from the mother is another. The hereditary evil from the father is more internal, and remains to eternity, for it cannot possibly be eradicated; but the Lord had not such evil, because He was born of Jehovah the Father, and thus as to internals was Divine or Jehovah. But the hereditary evil from the mother is of the external man; this did exist with the Lord, and it is called “the Canaanite in the land;” and the falsity from this is “the Perizzite.” Thus was the Lord born as are other men, and had infirmities as have other men.

[4] That He derived hereditary evil from the mother is clearly evident from the fact that He underwent temptations; no one can possibly be tempted who has no evil; it is the evil in a man which tempts, and through which he is tempted. That the Lord was tempted, and that he underwent temptations a thousandfold more grievous than any man can ever endure; and that He endured them alone, and overcame evil, or the devil and all hell, by His own power, is also evident.

Concerning these temptations we read thus in Luke:

Jesus was led in the spirit into the wilderness, being forty days tempted by the devil, so that He did not eat in those days. But after the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him for a season. Thence He returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee (Luke 4:1-2, 13-14).

[5] And in Mark:

The Spirit impelling Jesus made Him go forth into the wilderness. And He was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted, and He was with the wild beasts (Mark 1:12-13); where hell is signified by “the wild beasts.” Moreover, He was tempted even unto death, so that His sweat was drops of blood:

And being in an agony, He prayed the more earnestly; and His sweat became as drops of blood falling down upon the earth (Luke 22:44).

[6] No angel can ever be tempted of the devil; because, while he is in the Lord, evil spirits cannot approach him, even distantly, without being instantly seized with horror and terror. Much less would hell have been able to approach the Lord if He had been born Divine; that is, without evil adhering from the mother.

[7] It is likewise a common expression with preachers, that the Lord also bore the iniquities and evils of the human race; but for Him to admit into Himself iniquities and evils, except by the hereditary way, is utterly impossible; for the Divine is not susceptible of evil. And therefore in order that He might conquer evil by His own powers-which no man has been able to do, or is able to do-and so might alone become righteousness, He was willing to be born as are other men. If it had not been for this, there would have been no need of His being born; for the Lord could have assumed the Human Essence without birth, as He did sometimes assume it, when seen by the Most Ancient Church, and likewise by the prophets, but for the additional purpose of putting on evil, against which He might fight, and which He might conquer, and might thus conjoin in Himself the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, He came into the world.

[8] But the Lord had no evil that was actual, or His own, as He also says in John:

Which of you convicted Me of sin? (John 8:46).

From what has been said it is now clearly evident what is signified by there being “strife between the herdmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdmen of Lot’s cattle,” which words immediately precede. The reason was that “the Canaanite and the Perizzite were then dwelling in the land.”
