1 Byl pak opět hlad na zemi, mimo hlad první, kterýž byl za dnů Abrahamových. Tedy odebral se Izák k Abimelechovi králi Filistinskému do Gerar.

2 Nebo ukázal se jemu Hospodin a řekl: Nesstupuj do Egypta; ale bydli v zemi, kterouž oznámím tobě.

3 Budiž tedy pohostinu v zemi této, a budu s tebou, a požehnám tobě; nebo tobě a semeni tvému dám všecky země tyto, a utvrdím přísahu, kterouž jsem přisáhl Abrahamovi, otci tvému.

4 Rozmnožím také símě tvé jako hvězdy nebeské, a dám semeni tvému všecky země tyto, a požehnáni budou v semeni tvém všickni národové země;

5 Protože uposlechl Abraham hlasu mého, a ostříhal nařízení mých, přikázaní mých, ustanovení mých a zákonů mých.

6 Bydlil tedy Izák v Gerar.

7 Ptali se pak muži místa toho o manželce jeho. Kterýžto odpověděl: Sestra má jest; nebo nesměl říci: Manželka má jest, mysle sobě: Aby mne nezabili muži místa toho pro Rebeku. Nebo byla krásná na pohledění.

8 I přihodilo se, když již čas nějaký tam bydlil, že vyhlédal Abimelech král Filistinský z okna a uzřel Izáka, an pohrává s Rebekou manželkou svou.

9 Protož povolav Abimelech Izáka, řekl: Aj, v pravdě manželka tvá to jest. Jakž to, že jsi pravil: Sestra má jest? I odpověděl jemu Izák: Nebo jsem řekl sám u sebe: Abych snad neumřel pro ni.

10 I řekl Abimelech: Což jsi to učinil nám? O málo, že by byl spal někdo z lidu s manželkou tvou, a ty byl bys uvedl na nás vinu.

11 I přikázal Abimelech všemu lidu, řka: Kdo by se dotkl člověka toho, aneb manželky jeho, smrtí umře.

12 Sel pak Izák v zemi té, a shledal v tom roce sto měr; nebo požehnal mu Hospodin.

13 I rostl muž ten, a prospíval vždy více v zrostu, až i zrostl velmi.

14 Nebo měl stáda ovcí i stáda volů, a čeledi mnoho; pročež záviděli mu Filistinští.

15 A všecky studnice, kteréž vykopali služebníci otce jeho za dnů Abrahama otce jeho, zařítili Filistinští, zasypavše je prstí.

16 I řekl Abimelech Izákovi: Odejdi od nás; nebo mnohem mocnější jsi než my.

17 Tedy odšel odtud Izák, a rozbil stany v údolí Gerar, a bydlil tu.

18 A kopal zase Izák studnice vod, kteréž byli vykopali za dnů Abrahama otce jeho, a kteréž zařítili Filistinští po smrti Abrahamově; a nazval je těmi jmény, kterýmiž je jmenoval otec jeho.

19 I kopali služebníci Izákovi v tom údolí, a nalezli tam studnici vody živé.

20 Vadili se pak pastýři Gerarští s pastýři Izákovými, pravíce: Naše jest voda. Pročež nazval jméno studnice té Esek, že se vadili s ním.

21 Vykopali také jinou studnici, a nesnáz byla i o tu; pročež dal jí jméno Sitnah.

22 I hnul se odtud, a kopal jinou studnici, o kterouž se nevadili; protož nazval jméno její Rehobot. Nebo řekl: Nyní uprostrannil nám Hospodin, a vzrostli jsme na zemi.

23 Vstoupil pak odtud do Bersabé.

24 A ukázal se mu Hospodin v tu noc, a řekl: Já jsem Bůh Abrahama otce tvého; neboj se, nebo s tebou já jsem, a požehnám tobě, a rozmnožím símě tvé pro Abrahama služebníka svého.

25 I vzdělal tu oltář, a vzýval jméno Hospodinovo, a rozbil tu stan svůj; a služebníci Izákovi vykopali tam studnici.

26 Abimelech pak přijel k němu z Gerar, a Ochozat, přítel jeho, a Fikol, kníže vojska jeho.

27 I řekl jim Izák: Z jaké příčiny přišli jste ke mně? Poněvadž vy nenáviděli jste mne, a vybyli jste mne od sebe.

28 Kteřížto odpověděli: Patrně jsme to shledali, že jest Hospodin s tebou, i řekli jsme: Učiňme nyní přísahu mezi sebou, mezi námi a mezi tebou; a učiníme smlouvu s tebou:

29 Že neučiníš nám nic zlého, jako i my nedotkli jsme se tebe, a jakž jsme my toliko dobře činili tobě, a propustili jsme tě v pokoji; ty nyní tedy povol tomu, požehnaný Hospodinův.

30 Tedy učinil jim hody, i jedli a pili.

31 A vstavše velmi ráno, přisáhli jeden druhému. I propustil je Izák, a oni odešli od něho v pokoji.

32 Toho dne přišli služebníci Izákovi, a oznámili mu o studnici, kterouž kopali, řkouce: Nalezli jsme vodu.

33 I nazval ji Seba. Protož jméno města toho jest Bersabé až do dnešního dne.

34 Ezau pak jsa v letech čtyřidcíti, pojal ženu Judit, dceru Béry Hetejského, a Bazematu, dceru Elona Hetejského.

35 A kormoutily Izáka a Rebeku.

3369. Sojourn in this land. That this signifies instruction, is evident from the signification of “sojourning,” as being to instruct (n. 1463, 2025); and from the signification in this place of “land,” as being rational things which when enlightened by the Divine are appearances of truth (see just above, n. 3368). Thus “sojourning in this land” signifies instruction in these things.

Arcana Coelestia #2025

2025. I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land of thy sojournings. That this signifies that the Lord acquired to Himself all things by His own forces or powers, which are “the land of the sojournings,” is evident from the signification of “sojourning,” as being to be instructed (see n. 1463). And as a man acquires life to himself especially by means of instruction in memory-knowledges, doctrinal matters, and the knowledges of faith, therefore “sojourning,” signifies the life so acquired. As applied to the Lord, “sojourning” signifies the life which He procured to Himself by means of knowledges, combats of temptations, and victories therein; and as He procured for Himself that life by His own forces, this is here signified by “the land of the sojournings.”

[2] That the Lord procured all things to Himself by His own forces, and by His own forces united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence, and the Divine Essence to the Human Essence; and that He alone thus became righteousness, is clearly evident in the Prophets. As in Isaiah:

Who is this that cometh from Edom, marching in the multitude of his strength? I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was none with Me; I looked around, and there was no one helping; and I was amazed, and there was no one upholding; therefore Mine arm brought salvation unto Me (Isaiah 63:1, 3, 5)

“Edom” denotes the Lord’s Human Essence; “strength,” and “arm,” power that this was from what was His own is clearly said, in that “there was no one helping,” “no one upholding,” and that “His own arm brought salvation unto Him.”

[3] In the same Prophet:

He saw that there was not anyone, and He was amazed that there was none to intercede; and His arm achieved salvation unto Him, and His righteousness supported Him; and He put on righteousness as a coat of mail, and a helmet of salvation upon His head (Isaiah 59:16-17)

meaning in like manner by His own power, and that thereby He became righteousness. That the Lord is righteousness is stated in Daniel:

Seventy weeks are decreed to expiate iniquity, and to bring in the righteousness of the ages, and to seal up vision and prophet, and to anoint the holy of holies (Dan 9:24). And in Jeremiah:

I will raise unto David a righteous offshoot, and He shall reign as King, and shall act intelligently, and shall do judgment and righteousness in the land.

In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in confidence; and this is His name whereby they shall call Him, Jehovah our righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6; 33:15-16).

For this reason He is also called “the Habitation of righteousness,” in Jeremiah (31:23; 50:7); and in Isaiah (9:6), “Wonderful,” and “Hero.”

[4] The reason why the Lord so often attributes to the Father that which is His own, has been explained above (n. 1999, 2004); for Jehovah was in Him, and consequently in everything that was His. This can be illustrated by what is similar, though not equal, in man. A man’s soul is in him; and as it is in him, it is in the veriest singulars of him, that is in the veriest singulars of his thought, and of his action. Whatever has not his soul in it, is not his. The Lord’s soul was Life itself, or Being [Esse] itself, which is Jehovah, for He was conceived from Jehovah; and consequently Jehovah or Life itself was in His veriest singulars; and as Life itself, or Being itself, which is Jehovah, was His, as the soul is man’s, so that which was Jehovah’s was His, which is what the Lord says: that He “is in the bosom of the Father” (John 1:18), and that “all things whatsoever that the Father hath are His” (John 16:15, 17:10-11).

[5] From good, which is Jehovah’s, He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence; and from truth He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence; thus He did all things both in general and in particular from Himself; in fact His Human was left to itself, in order that He might fight of Himself against all the hells, and overcome them; and as He had life in Himself that was His own-as already said-He overcame them by His own power and by His own forces, as is also clearly stated in the Prophets, in the passages that have been cited. Consequently, as He acquired all things for Himself by His own forces, He became righteousness, emancipated the world of spirits from infernal genii and spirits, and thereby delivered the human race from destruction-for the human race is ruled by means of spirits-and so redeemed it. For this reason He is so often called in the Word of the Old Testament the Deliverer and the Redeemer, and the Saviour, which is the meaning of His name Jesus.
