1 亚伯拉罕的日子,那有一次饥荒;这时又有饥荒,以撒就往基拉耳去,到非利士人的王亚比米勒那里。

2 耶和华向以撒显现,:你不要去,要住在我所指示你的

3 你寄居在这,我必与你同在,赐福你,因为我要将这些都赐你和你的後裔。我必坚定我向你父亚伯拉罕所起的誓。

4 我要加增你的後裔,像上的那样多,又要将这些都赐你的後裔。并且上万国必因你的後裔得福─

5 都因亚伯拉罕听从我的话,遵守我的吩咐和我的命令、律例、度。

6 以撒在基拉耳。

7 地方的人问到他的妻子,他便:那是我的妹子。原来他:是我的妻子;他心里想:恐地方的人为利百加的缘故杀我,因为他容貌俊美。

8 他在那里住了许久。有一天非利士人的王亚比米勒从窗户里往外观,见以撒和他的妻子利百加戏玩。

9 亚比米勒召了以撒来,对他:他实在是你的妻子,你怎麽他是你的妹子?以撒:我心里想,恐怕我因他而

10 亚比米勒:你向我们做的是甚麽事呢?民中险些有人和你的妻同寝,把我们陷在罪里。

11 於是亚比米勒晓谕众民说:凡沾着这个,或是他妻子的,定要把他治

12 以撒在那耕种,那一年有倍的收成。耶和华赐福给他,

13 他就昌大,日增月盛,成了大富户。

14 他有羊群牛群,又有许多仆人,非利士人就嫉妒他。

15 当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世的日子,他父亲仆人非利士人全都塞住,满了土。

16 亚比米勒对以撒:你离开我们去罢。因为你比我们强盛得多。

17 以撒就离开那里,在基拉耳谷支搭帐棚,在那里。

18 当他父亲亚伯拉罕在世之日所非利士人亚伯拉罕塞住了,以撒就重新出来,仍照他父亲那些名字

19 以撒的仆人,便得了一口活

20 基拉耳的牧人与以撒的牧人争竞,:这是我们的。以撒就给那起名埃色(就是相争的意思),因为他们和他相争。

21 以撒的仆人又了一口,他们又为这争竞,因此以撒给这起名西提拿(就是为敌的意思)。

22 以撒离开那里,又了一口,他们不为这争竞了,他就给那起名利河伯(就是宽阔的意思)。他耶和华现在给我们宽阔之我们必在这昌盛。

23 以撒从那里上别是巴去。

24 当夜耶和华向他显现,:我是你父亲亚伯拉罕的,不要惧!因为我与你同在,要赐福给你,并要为我仆人亚伯拉罕的缘故,使你的後裔繁多。

25 以撒就在那里筑了一座,求告耶和华的名,并且支搭帐棚;他的仆人便在那里了一口

26 亚比米勒,同他的朋友亚户撒和他的军长非各,从基拉耳来见以撒。

27 以撒对他们:你们既然恨我,打发我走了,为甚麽到我这里呢?

28 他们我们明明的耶和华与你同在,便,不如我们两下彼此起誓,彼此立约,

29 使你不害我们,正如我们未曾害你,一味的厚待你,并且打发你平平安安的走。你是蒙耶和华赐福的了。

30 以撒就为他们设摆筵席,他们便吃了了。

31 他们清起来彼此起誓。以撒打发他们走,他们就平平安安的离开他走了。

32 一天以撒的仆人,将的事告诉:我们得了了。

33 他就给那井起名示巴;因此那城做别是巴,直到今日。

34 以扫四十岁的时候娶了赫人比利的女儿犹滴,与赫人以伦的女儿巴实抹为妻。

35 他们常使以撒和利百加心里愁烦。

3402. 'Anyone touching this man and his wife will surely die' means that Divine Truth and Divine Good were not to be disclosed, insomuch that not even any approach was to be made towards them by faith because of the danger of eternal condemnation if they were profaned. This is clear from the meaning of 'touching this man and his wife' as making an approach towards Divine Truth and Divine Good, represented by Isaac and Rebekah - truth here being mentioned first and good second because the subject is people who belong to the spiritual Church and who are capable of adulterating and indeed of profaning truth, but not good, which is why the expression 'man and wife' (vir et mulier) is used, see 915, 2517; and from the meaning of 'surely dying' as eternal condemnation (which is spiritual death) resulting from profanation, under discussion here.

[2] For information about the Lord in His providence not allowing anyone, because of the danger of eternal condemnation, to enter into goodness and truth, that is, into an acknowledgement of them and affection for them, beyond the point where he is able to remain with them, see above in 3398. For goodness and truth, as stated and shown several times already, are such that when present with a person they retreat to an internal position that is determined by the amount of evil and falsity also present in him. Consequently insofar as the angels present with him from heaven depart, the devil-spirits present with him from hell draw near, and vice versa. To one in whom evil and falsity are present, the removal of good and truth, and consequently of angels, is not apparent, for at that time he is convinced that evil is good, and falsity is truth. This conviction arises from his affection for them and from the resulting delight. And when this is his state he is quite incapable of recognizing that goodness and truth have been removed from him. Goodness and truth - or angels - are said to be removed from a person when he has no affection for them, that is, when he no longer takes any delight in them, and instead his affection is for the things that go with self-love and love of the world, that is, when he takes delight wholly in these.

[3] Having a knowledge of goodness and truth - or holding them in the memory, and testifying to them with the lips - does not constitute possession of goodness and truth, but a heartfelt affection for them does. Nor does anyone possess goodness and truth when his affection for them springs from a desire to gain reputation or wealth by means of them. In his case he is not stirred by any real affection for them but by honour and gain, and he makes such goodness and truth the means for obtaining these. In the next life the goods and truths which such people have known, even proclaimed, are taken away from them, while the self-love and love of the world remain from which their life is derived. From these considerations it may be seen what the situation is with goodness and truth, namely that unless he is able to remain with them to the end of his life no one is allowed to approach goodness and truth with affection and faith, unlike those who actually profane them, for such people are unable to be held back from approaching them.
