1 拉结见自己不给雅各生子,就嫉妒他姊姊,对雅各:你给我孩子,不然我就死了

2 雅各向拉结生气,:叫你不生育的是,我岂能代替他作主呢?

3 拉结:有我的使女辟拉在这里,你可以与他同房,使他生子在我膝下,我便因他也得孩子(原文作被建立)。

4 拉结就把他的使女辟拉丈夫为妾;雅各便与他同房,

5 辟拉就怀孕,给雅各生了一个儿子

6 拉结伸了我的冤,也了我的声音,赐我一个儿子,因此他起名但(就是伸冤的意思)。

7 拉结的使女辟拉又怀孕,给雅各生了第二个儿子

8 拉结:我与我姊姊大大相争,并且得胜,於是给他起名拿弗他利(就是相争的意思)。

9 利亚见自己停了生育,就把使女悉帕雅各为妾。

10 利亚的使女悉帕给雅各生了一个儿子

11 利亚:万幸!於是给他起名迦得(就是万幸的意思)。

12 利亚的使女悉帕又给雅各生了第二个儿子

13 利亚:我有福阿,众女子都要称我是有福的,於是给他起名亚设(就是有福的意思)。

14 割麦子的时候,流便往田里去,寻见风茄,拿来母亲利亚。拉结对利亚:请你把你儿子的风茄我些。

15 利亚:你夺了我的丈夫还算小事麽?你又要夺我儿子的风茄麽?拉结:为你儿子的风茄,今夜他可以与你同寝。

16 到了晚上雅各从田里回,利亚出迎接他,:你要与我同寝,因为我实在用我儿子的风茄把你雇下了。那一夜,雅各就与他同寝。

17 应允了利亚,他就怀孕,给雅各生了第五个儿子

18 利亚了我价值,因为我把使女了我丈夫,於是他起名以萨迦(就是价值的意思)。

19 利亚又怀孕,给雅各生了第六儿子

20 利亚赐我厚赏;我丈夫必与我同住,因我给他生了个儿子,於是给他起名西布伦(就是同住的意思)。

21 来又生了一个女儿,给他起名底拿。

22 顾念拉结,应允了他,使他能生育。

23 拉结怀孕生子,除去了我的羞耻,

24 就给他起名约瑟(就是增添的意思),意思:愿耶和华再增添我一个儿子

25 拉结生约瑟之後,雅各拉班:请打发我走,叫我回到我本乡本土去。

26 请你把我服事你所得的妻子和儿女我,让我走;我怎样服事你,你都知道

27 拉班对他:我若在你眼前蒙恩,请你仍与我同住,因为我已算定,耶和华赐福与我是为你的缘故;

28 :请你定你的工价,我就你。

29 雅各对他:我怎样服事你,你的牲畜在我手里怎样,是你知道的。

30 我未来之先,你所有的很少,现今却发大众多,耶和华随我的步赐福与你。如今,我甚麽时候才为自己兴家立业呢?

31 拉班:我当你甚麽呢?雅各:甚麽你也不必我,只有一件事,你若应承,我便仍旧牧放你的羊群

32 今天我要走遍你的羊群,把绵中凡有点的、有的,和黑色的,并山羊中凡有的、有点的,都挑出来;将来这一等的就算我的工价。

33 以後你查看我的工价,凡在我手里的山羊不是有点有的,绵羊不是黑色的,那就算是我的;这样便可证出我的公

34 拉班:好阿!我情愿照着你的行。

35 当日,拉班把有纹的、有的公山羊,有点的、有的、有杂白纹的母山羊,并黑色的绵羊,都挑出来,交在他儿子们的下,

36 又使自己和雅各相离的路程。雅各就牧养拉班其馀的

37 雅各拿杨树、杏树、枫树的嫩枝,将皮剥成白纹,使枝子露出白的来,

38 将剥了皮的枝子,对着羊群,插在饮沟里和里,的时候,牝牡配合。

39 对着枝子配合,就生下有纹的、有点的、有的来。

40 雅各羔分出来,使拉班的与这有纹和黑色的相对,把自己的另放一处,不叫他和拉班的混杂。

41 羊群肥壮配合的时候,雅各就把枝子插在水沟里,使对着枝子配合。

42 只是到瘦弱配合的时候就不插枝子。这样,瘦弱的就归拉班,肥壮的就归雅各

43 於是雅各极其发大,得了许多羊群、仆婢、骆驼,和

3870. 'That I was hated' means the state of faith if there is no will corresponding to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'hated' as not loved, for this is the state of faith if the will does not correspond to it. The subject in the internal sense is the advance of a person's regeneration from what is external to what is internal, that is, from the truth of faith towards the good of charity. Truth which is the truth of faith is external, and good which is the good of charity is internal. So that it may be living, truth which is the truth of faith must be introduced into the will so as to receive life there. For truth which issues from knowledge is not living, only truth which issues from the will. Through the new will which the Lord creates in man life flows in from Him. The life which comes first manifests itself in obedience, this being the first degree of the will. The life which comes second manifests itself in the affection for doing what is true, this being a more advanced degree of the will, which is arrived at when delight and blessing are felt in the doing of what is true. Unless faith advances in this way truth does not become truth but something separated from life. Sometimes it becomes the corroboration of falsity, sometimes persuasive belief, and so something debased, for it couples itself to man's evil affection or desire, that is, to the will that is properly his own and the reverse of charity. Such is the faith which is believed to be true faith by many at the present day; they believe that this faith is able - of itself, without the works of charity - to save a person.

[2] But this faith - that is to say, faith separated from charity and therefore contrary to charity - is represented later on by Reuben's lying with Bilhah his father's concubine, Genesis 35:22, and by the expression of disgust by Jacob, who by then was named Israel, in the following words,

Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my power. Unstable as water, may you not excel, for you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it. He went up to my couch. Genesis 49:3-4.

Also described in that chapter, by means of Simeon and Levi, is the contrariety to charity of the will and affection that go with this faith, namely faith separated from charity, in the following words,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; weapons of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their assembly let not my glory be united; for in their fury they killed a man, and in their wilfulness they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their fury, for it is fierce, and their anger, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

That faith separated from charity is described in this case by Simeon and Levi will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown later on.
