Genesis 38

Studie

   

1 At nangyari nang panahong yaon, na humiwalay si Juda sa kaniyang mga kapatid, at nagdaan sa isang Adullamita na ang pangalan ay Hira.

2 At nakita roon ni Juda ang anak na babae ng isang Cananeo, na tinatawag na Sua; at kinuha niya at kaniyang sinipingan.

3 At naglihi, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Er.

4 At naglihi uli, at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Onan.

5 At muling naglihi at nanganak ng lalake; at tinawag niya ang kaniyang pangalang Selah: at si Juda ay nasa sa Chezib nang siya'y manganak.

6 At pinapag-asawa ni Juda si Er na kaniyang panganay, at ang pangalan niyao'y Thamar.

7 At si Er, na panganay ni Juda, ay naging masama sa paningin ng Panginoon; at siya'y pinatay ng Panginoon.

8 At sinabi ni Juda kay Onan, Sumiping ka sa asawa ng iyong kapatid, at tuparin mo sa kaniya ang tungkulin ng kapatid ng asawa, at ipagbangon mo ng binhi ang iyong kapatid.

9 At nalalaman ni Onan na hindi magiging kaniya ang binhi; at nangyari, na pagka sisiping siya sa asawa ng kaniyang kapatid, ay pinatutulo niya sa lupa, nang huwag lamang niyang bigyan ng binhi ang kaniyang kapatid.

10 At ang bagay na ginawa niya ay masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, at siya'y pinatay rin naman.

11 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ni Juda kay Thamar na kaniyang manugang na babae: Manatili kang bao sa bahay ng iyong ama, hanggang sa lumaki si Selah na aking anak: sapagka't sinabi niya, Marahil ay hindi siya mamamatay ng gaya ng kaniyang mga kapatid. At yumaon si Thamar at tumahan sa bahay ng kaniyang ama.

12 At nagdaan ang maraming araw; at namatay ang anak na babae ni Sua, na asawa ni Juda; at nagaliw si Juda, at umahon sa Timnath sa mga manggugupit sa kaniyang mga tupa, siya at ang kaniyang kaibigang si Hira na Adullamita.

13 At naibalita kay Thamar, na sinasabi, Narito, ang iyong biyanang lalake ay umaahon sa Timnath upang pagupitan ang kaniyang mga tupa.

14 At siya'y nagalis ng suot pagkabao, at nagtakip ng kaniyang lambong, at pagkapagtakip ay naupo sa pasukan ng Enaim, na nasa daan ng Timnath; sapagka't kaniyang nakikita, na si Selah ay malaki na, at hindi pa siya ibinibigay na asawa.

15 Nang makita siya ni Juda ay ipinalagay siyang patutot, sapagka't siya'y nagtakip ng kaniyang mukha.

16 At lumapit sa kaniya, sa tabi ng daan, at sinabi, Narito nga, ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na ako'y pasipingin mo sa iyo: sapagka't hindi niya nakilalang kaniyang manugang. At kaniyang sinabi, Anong ibibigay mo sa akin sa iyong pagsiping sa akin?

17 At kaniyang sinabi, Padadalhan kita ng isang anak ng kambing na mula sa kawan. At kaniyang sinabi, Bibigyan mo ba ako ng sangla hanggang sa maipadala mo?

18 At kaniyang sinabi, Anong sangla ang ibibigay ko sa iyo? At kaniyang sinabi, Ang iyong singsing, at ang iyong pamigkis, at ang tungkod na dala mo sa kamay. At kaniyang ipinagbibigay sa kaniya, at sumiping sa kaniya; at siya'y naglihi sa pamamagitan niya.

19 At siya'y bumangon, at yumaon, at siya'y nagalis ng kaniyang lambong, at isinuot ang mga kasuutan ng kaniyang pagkabao.

20 At ipinadala ni Juda ang anak ng kambing sa pamamagitan ng kamay ng kaniyang kaibigan, na Adullamita, upang tanggapin ang sangla sa kamay ng babae: datapuwa't hindi niya nasumpungan.

21 Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang itinanong sa mga tao sa dakong yaon na sinasabi, Saan nandoon ang patutot na nasa tabi ng daan sa Enaim? At kanilang sinabi, Walang naparitong sinomang patutot.

22 At nagbalik siya kay Juda, at sinabi, Hindi ko nasumpungan: at sinabi rin naman ng mga tao sa dakong yaon, Walang naging patutot rito.

23 At sinabi ni Juda, Pabayaang ariin niya, baka tayo'y mapahiya: narito, aking ipinadala itong anak ng kambing at hindi mo siya nasumpungan.

24 At nangyari, na pagkaraan ng tatlong buwan, humigit kumulang, ay naibalita kay Juda, na sinasabi, Ang iyong manugang na si Thamar ay nagpatutot; at, narito, siya'y buntis sa pakikiapid. At sinabi ni Juda, Siya'y ilabas upang sunugin.

25 Nang siya'y ilabas, ay nagpasabi siya sa kaniyang biyanan. Sa lalaking may-ari ng mga ito, ay nagdalangtao ako: at kaniyang sinabi pang, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, na kilalanin mo kung kanino ang mga ito, ang singsing, ang pamigkis, at ang tungkod.

26 At nangakilala ni Juda, at sinabi, Siya'y matuwid kay sa akin; sapagka't hindi ko ibinigay sa kaniya si Selah na aking anak. At hindi na niya muling sinipingan pa.

27 At nangyari, na sa pagdaramdam niya, na, narito, kambal ang nasa kaniyang tiyan.

28 At nangyari, nang nanganganak siya, na inilabas ng isa ang kamay: at hinawakan ng hilot at tinalian sa kamay ng isang sinulid na mapula, na sinasabi, Ito ang unang lumabas.

29 At nangyari, na pagkaurong ng kaniyang kamay, na, narito, ang kaniyang kapatid ang lumabas. At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit nagpumiglas ka? kaya't tinawag ang pangalan niyang Phares.

30 At pagkatapos ay lumabas ang kaniyang kapatid, na siyang may sinulid na mapula sa kamay: at tinawag na Zara ang kaniyang pangalan.

4875. 'Your cord' means through truth, that is to say, truth accompanying the token of consent. This is clear from the meaning of 'a cord' as truth. The reason 'a cord' means truth is that it is one of the items associated with 'garments', and 'garments' in general means truths, for the reason that as garments clothe the flesh, so truths clothe good, 297, 2132, 2576, 4545, 4763. Among the ancients therefore whatever clothing they wore meant some specific or individual truth. Consequently a tunic had one meaning, a chlamys another, and a toga another; also coverings for the head, such as a turban and a mitre, had one meaning, coverings for the thighs and feet, such as breeches, stockings, and so on, had another meaning. But 'a cord' meant outermost or lowest truth, for it was made from threads twisted together, by which the final demarcation of that kind of truth was meant. This kind of truth is again meant by 'a cord' in Moses,

Every open vessel on which there is no covering [or] cord [to fasten it] is unclean. Numbers 19:15.

By this was meant that nothing should exist without having an outer limit, for that which does not have an outer limit is 'open'. Furthermore outermost truths serve as the outer limit and terminus of interior truths.

3686. 'And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of Isaac his father' means the Lord's foresight and provision that the affections for that truth - the affections to which natural good had been joined until then - would not be suitable for such conjunction. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing' here as foresight and provision, dealt with in 2837, 2839; from the representation of 'Esau' as the Lord as regards the Divine Good of the Natural, dealt with already; from the meaning of 'the daughters of Canaan', in this case the daughters of Heth, as affections for truth from a non-genuine source, dealt with in 3470, 3620-3622; and from the meaning of '[evil] in the eyes of Isaac his father' as not being suitable for such conjunction, that is to say, through the good of the natural, represented by 'Esau', with the good of the rational, represented by 'Isaac'. From this it is evident that all these words mean the Lord's foresight and provision that the affections for that truth, being from a non-genuine source, would not be suitable for conjunction. The truth of all this may be seen from the explanation given at 26:34-35, where the subject is the daughters of Heth whom Esau had taken as wives, and at 27:46, where the subject is the plea to Jacob not to marry one of the daughters of Canaan. The reason why 'the daughters of Canaan' here means affections for truth from a non-genuine source, whereas above 'the daughters of Canaan' meant affections for falsity and evil, 3662, 3683, is that the Hittites in the land of Canaan belonged to the Church as it existed among gentiles. They were not so much under the influence of falsity and evil as other nations there, such as the Canaanites, Amorites, and Perizzites. This also was why the Hittites represented the Lord's spiritual Church among the gentiles, 2913, 2986.

[2] The Most Ancient Church which was celestial and existed before the Flood was situated in the land of Canaan, see 567. The Ancient Church which existed after the Flood was also situated there, as well as in many other countries, 1238, 2385. This was how it came about that all the gentile nations there, and also all the territories there, and all the rivers there, served as representatives. For the most ancient people, who were celestial, perceived through all the objects they beheld the kind of things that belong to the Lord's kingdom, 920, 1409, 2896, 2897, 2995, and so beheld the same through the territories and the rivers there.

[3] After their times those representatives survived in the Ancient Church, including the representatives related to the places there. Furthermore the Word that existed in the Ancient Church, dealt with in 2897-2899, contained place-names which were for the same reason representative; and the Word existing after their times, which is called Moses and the Prophets, also contains them. This was why Abraham was commanded to go there, and the promise was made to him that his descendants would possess that land. That promise was not made because they were any better than all the other nations, for they were the worst of them all, 1167, 3373. But it was made so that through them the representative Church might be established, in which no attention was paid to representative persons and places themselves but to the actual things which these represented, 3670, and thus also so that the names existing in the Most Ancient and the Ancient Churches might be preserved.
