1 雅各起行,到了东方人之

2 见田间有一,有卧在旁;因为人饮羊群都是用那里的上的石头的。

3 常有羊群在那里聚集,牧人把石头转离,随後又把石头放在的原处。

4 雅各对牧人弟兄们,你们是那里来的?他们:我们是哈兰来的。

5 他问他们:拿鹤的孙子拉班,你们认识麽?他们:我们认识。

6 雅各:他平安麽?他们:平安。看哪,他女儿拉结领着来了

7 雅各:日头还,不是羊群聚集的时候,你们不如饮,再去放一放。

8 他们:我们不能,必等羊群聚齐,人把石头转离才可饮

9 雅各正和他们说话的时候,拉结领着他父亲来了,因为那些是他牧放的。

10 雅各见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群,就上前把石头转离,饮他母舅拉班的羊群

11 雅各与拉结亲嘴,就放声而哭。

12 雅各告诉拉结,自己是他父亲的外甥,是利百加的儿子,拉结就跑去告诉他父亲

13 拉班见外甥雅各的信息,就跑去迎接,抱着他,与他亲嘴,领他到自己的家。雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班

14 拉班对他:你实在是我的。雅各就和他同一个月

15 拉班雅各:你虽是我的骨肉(原文作弟兄),岂可白白地服事我?请告诉我,你要甚麽为工价?

16 拉班有两个女儿,大的名叫利亚,小的名叫拉结。

17 利亚的眼睛没有神气,拉结却生得美貌俊秀。

18 雅各拉结,就:我愿为你小女儿拉结服事你年。

19 拉班:我把他你,胜似,你与我同罢!

20 雅各就为拉结服事了年;他因为深爱拉结,就看这年如同几

21 雅各拉班:日期已经满了,求你把我的妻子给我,我好与他同房。

22 拉班就摆设筵席,请齐了那地方的众人。

23 晚上,拉班将女儿利亚送给雅各,雅各就与他同房。

24 拉班又将婢女悉帕女儿利亚作使女。

25 到了早晨,雅各一看是利亚,就对拉班:你向我做的是甚麽事呢?我服事你,不是为拉结麽?你为甚麽欺哄我呢?

26 拉班:大女儿还没有人,先把小女儿人,在我们这地方没有这规矩。

27 你为这个满了日,我就把那个也你,你再为他服事我年。

28 雅各就如此行。满了利亚的七日,拉班便将女儿拉结雅各为妻。

29 拉班又将婢女辟拉女儿拉结作使女。

30 雅各也与拉结同房,并且拉结胜似利亚,於是又服事了拉班年。

31 耶和华见利亚失宠(原文作被恨;下同),就使他生育,拉结却不生育。

32 利亚怀孕生子,就给他起名流便(就是有儿子的意思),因而耶和华见我的苦情,如今我的丈夫我。

33 他又怀孕生子,就耶和华因为见我失宠,所以又赐我这个儿子,於是他起名西缅(就是见的意思)。

34 他又怀孕生子,起名利未(就是联合的意思),:我给丈夫生了儿子,他必与我联合。

35 他又怀孕生子,:这回我要赞美耶和华,因此给他起名犹大(就是赞美的意思)。这才停了生育。

3865. 'For now my husband will love me' means that from this state would come the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'will love' as the good coming from this state, for all good is the product of love and is therefore the meaning of 'love' at this point; and from the meaning of 'husband' (vir) as truth, dealt with in 3134. What the good of truth is has been explained frequently already, namely an affection for truth for the sake of life, for life is the good seen within truth by those who are subsequently regenerated. Without life in accordance with truth no truth can ever become joined to good nor consequently can good be made one's own.

[2] This can be seen quite clearly by anyone if he turns his attention to those who lead evil lives and to those who lead good lives. Those who lead evil lives, though instructed in the teachings of the Church during childhood and youth like everybody else, will be found on examination to believe nothing at all about the Lord, about faith in Him, or about the truths of the Church, whereas those who lead good lives will be found in every case to have faith in those truths which they believe to be truths. Those however who teach truths, as Church leaders do, and yet lead evil lives will indeed say that they believe, yet they do not believe in their hearts.

[3] With some a persuasive faith exists which is an imitation of true faith, but that faith is no more than factual knowledge which has been corroborated by them not because it is the truth but because by declaring their allegiance to it they improve their chances of personal position, honour, and gain. That knowledge goes no further than through the ears into the memory, and from the memory passes out on to the lips. It does not enter the heart and from there into a confession of it. From these considerations it is evident that the life is the guide to what kind of acknowledgement of truth exists, that is, to what kind of faith. They also show that faith separated from the good of life declares that no matter how a person lives he can still be saved by grace, and that such faith argues against the teaching that everyone's life remains with him after death.
