19 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的後代记在下面。亚伯拉罕以撒

20 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候正四十岁。利百加是巴旦亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿,是亚兰人拉班的妹子。

21 以撒因他妻子不生育,就为他祈求耶和华耶和华应允他的祈求,他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。

22 孩子们在他腹中彼此相争,他就:若是这样,我为甚麽活着呢(或作我为甚麽如此呢)?他就去求问耶和华

23 耶和华对他:两国在你腹内;两族要从你身上出来。这族必强於那族;将来大的要服事小的。

24 生产的日子到了,腹中果然是双子。

25 先产的身体发红,浑身有毛,如同皮衣,他们就给他起名以扫(就是有毛的意思)。

26 又生了以扫兄弟抓住以扫脚跟,因此给他起名雅各(就是抓住的意思)。利百加生下两个儿子的时候,以撒年正六十岁。

27 两个孩子渐渐长大,以扫善於打猎,常在田野;雅各安静,常在帐棚里。

28 以撒以扫,因为常吃他的野味;利百加却雅各

29 有一天,雅各熬汤,以扫从田野回累昏了。

30 以扫雅各:我累昏了,求你把这红汤给我喝。因此以扫以东(就是红的意思)。

31 雅各:你今日把长子的名分给我罢。

32 以扫:我将要,这长子的名分於我有甚麽益处呢?

33 雅各:你今日对我起誓罢。以扫就对他起了誓,把长子的名分雅各

34 於是雅各将饼和红豆汤以扫以扫吃了了,便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。

3241. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim. That this signifies the derivations from the second class, is evident from the representation of Dedan, as being those who are in the good of faith, properly those who are in the truth of faith from good (n. 3240, at the end). That the derivations are from a second class is manifest. By these three sons of Dedan are especially signified the truths of faith from good; but what is signified by each can indeed be told, but cannot be confirmed by other passages from the Word, because the names are not mentioned elsewhere.

[2] In the kingdom of the Lord there are innumerable varieties as to goods and truths, and yet of these innumerable varieties one heaven is constituted; for the varieties are so many that no one society is exactly like another, that is, is never in the same good and truth (n. 684, 685, 690). The one heaven therein is constituted of the many varieties so disposed by the Lord that they agree, the agreement or harmony of the many being imparted by the Lord, by means of all referring themselves to Him (n. 551). The case herein is the same as with the organs, members, and viscera of the body, not one of which is exactly like another. They are all different and yet make a one, and this by reason of their all referring themselves to one soul, and through this to heaven, and thus to the Lord; for whatever is unconnected with the Lord is nothing. From this it is evident that the differences of truth and of good are innumerable in species; but their genera, and these the most general, which are spiritual churches, are signified by these sons and grandsons of Abraham.

[3] As they who are of the spiritual church have no perception of what is good and true, like those of the celestial church, but acknowledge as truths the things they have learned, they are on this account continually in dispute concerning them, reasoning whether a thing is true; and each person abides in that doctrine (and calls it true) which is of his own church. This is the source of so many differences. Moreover very many form their conclusions concerning things good and true from appearances and fallacies-one in one way, another in another, but none from any perception; they do not even know what perception is; and as their understanding is thus in obscurity as to the goods and truths of faith, it is not surprising that dissensions should arise concerning the most essential of all the things of faith, namely, concerning the Divine, the Human, and the Holy Proceeding of the Lord. The celestial perceive that these are not three, but One; but the spiritual abide in the idea of three, although they desire to think that they are One. Seeing then that there are dissensions concerning that which is the most essential, it is evident that the varieties and differences of doctrinal things must be innumerable. From this all may know whence come the derivations signified by those who are here named. But granting the existence of so many varieties and differences of doctrinal things (that is, of so many derivations), they nevertheless together form one church when all acknowledge charity as essential to the church; or what is the same, when they regard life as the end of doctrine; that is, when they inquire how the man of the church lives, and not so much what his sentiments are; for in the other life everyone receives from the Lord a lot in accordance with his good of life, and not in accordance with his truth of doctrine separated from the good of life.
