1 εἶπεν δὲ ὁ θεὸς πρὸς ιακωβ ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς τὸν τόπον βαιθηλ καὶ οἴκει ἐκεῖ καὶ ποίησον ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ὀφθέντι σοι ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν σε ἀπὸ προσώπου ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ σου

2 εἶπεν δὲ ιακωβ τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσιν τοῖς μετ' αὐτοῦ ἄρατε τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους τοὺς μεθ' ὑμῶν ἐκ μέσου ὑμῶν καὶ καθαρίσασθε καὶ ἀλλάξατε τὰς στολὰς ὑμῶν

3 καὶ ἀναστάντες ἀναβῶμεν εἰς βαιθηλ καὶ ποιήσωμεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἐπακούσαντί μοι ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως ὃς ἦν μετ' ἐμοῦ καὶ διέσωσέν με ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἐπορεύθην

4 καὶ ἔδωκαν τῷ ιακωβ τοὺς θεοὺς τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους οἳ ἦσαν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια τὰ ἐν τοῖς ὠσὶν αὐτῶν καὶ κατέκρυψεν αὐτὰ ιακωβ ὑπὸ τὴν τερέμινθον τὴν ἐν σικιμοις καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτὰ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

5 καὶ ἐξῆρεν ισραηλ ἐκ σικιμων καὶ ἐγένετο φόβος θεοῦ ἐπὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς κύκλῳ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ κατεδίωξαν ὀπίσω τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

6 ἦλθεν δὲ ιακωβ εἰς λουζα ἥ ἐστιν ἐν γῇ χανααν ἥ ἐστιν βαιθηλ αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαός ὃς ἦν μετ' αὐτοῦ

7 καὶ ᾠκοδόμησεν ἐκεῖ θυσιαστήριον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου βαιθηλ ἐκεῖ γὰρ ἐπεφάνη αὐτῷ ὁ θεὸς ἐν τῷ ἀποδιδράσκειν αὐτὸν ἀπὸ προσώπου ησαυ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ

8 ἀπέθανεν δὲ δεββωρα ἡ τροφὸς ρεβεκκας κατώτερον βαιθηλ ὑπὸ τὴν βάλανον καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτῆς βάλανος πένθους

9 ὤφθη δὲ ὁ θεὸς ιακωβ ἔτι ἐν λουζα ὅτε παρεγένετο ἐκ μεσοποταμίας τῆς συρίας καὶ ηὐλόγησεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός

10 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ θεός τὸ ὄνομά σου ιακωβ οὐ κληθήσεται ἔτι ιακωβ ἀλλ' ισραηλ ἔσται τὸ ὄνομά σου

11 εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ θεός ἐγὼ ὁ θεός σου αὐξάνου καὶ πληθύνου ἔθνη καὶ συναγωγαὶ ἐθνῶν ἔσονται ἐκ σοῦ καὶ βασιλεῖς ἐκ τῆς ὀσφύος σου ἐξελεύσονται

12 καὶ τὴν γῆν ἣν δέδωκα αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ σοὶ δέδωκα αὐτήν σοὶ ἔσται καὶ τῷ σπέρματί σου μετὰ σὲ δώσω τὴν γῆν ταύτην

13 ἀνέβη δὲ ὁ θεὸς ἀπ' αὐτοῦ ἐκ τοῦ τόπου οὗ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ

14 καὶ ἔστησεν ιακωβ στήλην ἐν τῷ τόπῳ ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ στήλην λιθίνην καὶ ἔσπεισεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν σπονδὴν καὶ ἐπέχεεν ἐπ' αὐτὴν ἔλαιον

15 καὶ ἐκάλεσεν ιακωβ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐν ᾧ ἐλάλησεν μετ' αὐτοῦ ἐκεῖ ὁ θεός βαιθηλ

16 ἀπάρας δὲ ιακωβ ἐκ βαιθηλ ἔπηξεν τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ ἐπέκεινα τοῦ πύργου γαδερ ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα ἤγγισεν χαβραθα εἰς γῆν ἐλθεῖν εφραθα ἔτεκεν ραχηλ καὶ ἐδυστόκησεν ἐν τῷ τοκετῷ

17 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ σκληρῶς αὐτὴν τίκτειν εἶπεν αὐτῇ ἡ μαῖα θάρσει καὶ γὰρ οὗτός σοί ἐστιν υἱός

18 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν τῷ ἀφιέναι αὐτὴν τὴν ψυχήν ἀπέθνῃσκεν γάρ ἐκάλεσεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ υἱὸς ὀδύνης μου ὁ δὲ πατὴρ ἐκάλεσεν αὐτὸν βενιαμιν

19 ἀπέθανεν δὲ ραχηλ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εφραθα αὕτη ἐστὶν βηθλεεμ

20 καὶ ἔστησεν ιακωβ στήλην ἐπὶ τοῦ μνημείου αὐτῆς αὕτη ἐστὶν στήλη μνημείου ραχηλ ἕως τῆς σήμερον ἡμέρας

22 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡνίκα κατῴκησεν ισραηλ ἐν τῇ γῇ ἐκείνῃ ἐπορεύθη ρουβην καὶ ἐκοιμήθη μετὰ βαλλας τῆς παλλακῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἤκουσεν ισραηλ καὶ πονηρὸν ἐφάνη ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ ἦσαν δὲ οἱ υἱοὶ ιακωβ δώδεκα

23 υἱοὶ λειας πρωτότοκος ιακωβ ρουβην συμεων λευι ιουδας ισσαχαρ ζαβουλων

24 υἱοὶ δὲ ραχηλ ιωσηφ καὶ βενιαμιν

25 υἱοὶ δὲ βαλλας παιδίσκης ραχηλ δαν καὶ νεφθαλι

26 υἱοὶ δὲ ζελφας παιδίσκης λειας γαδ καὶ ασηρ οὗτοι υἱοὶ ιακωβ οἳ ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ ἐν μεσοποταμίᾳ τῆς συρίας

27 ἦλθεν δὲ ιακωβ πρὸς ισαακ τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ εἰς μαμβρη εἰς πόλιν τοῦ πεδίου αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρων ἐν γῇ χανααν οὗ παρῴκησεν αβρααμ καὶ ισαακ

28 ἐγένοντο δὲ αἱ ἡμέραι ισαακ ἃς ἔζησεν ἔτη ἑκατὸν ὀγδοήκοντα

29 καὶ ἐκλιπὼν ἀπέθανεν καὶ προσετέθη πρὸς τὸ γένος αὐτοῦ πρεσβύτερος καὶ πλήρης ἡμερῶν καὶ ἔθαψαν αὐτὸν ησαυ καὶ ιακωβ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ

2643. 'Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle sons?' means that by His own power the Lord implanted the Human within the Divine. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' and also of 'Sarah', and from the meaning of 'suckling', and of 'sons'. It has been shown already that 'Abraham' represents Divine Good and 'Sarah' Divine Truth. 'Milk' means that which is spiritual from a celestial origin, that is, truth deriving from good, see 2184, so that 'suckling' means implanting that truth; And 'sons' means truths, here truths that exist in the Rational, as is clear from the meaning of 'sons', 489-491, 533. The reason why in the internal sense the words under consideration mean that the Lord by His own power implanted the Human within the Divine is that Divine Truth is one and the same as the Divine Human, and when in reference to this it is said 'to suckle sons for Abraham' the meaning is that He implanted the Human within the Divine; and as it was the Human He implanted, He did so by His own power. But scarcely any clearer and more intelligible explanation of these matters is possible. To say more would obscure still further what is meant; for these are Divine matters, which can be presented to angels alone by means of celestial and spiritual things. If presented to men in some more exalted manner those matters would fall into the material and bodily ideas which men possess.

[2] What is more, it should be recognized that it is the nature of the Lord's Divine Rational when it was first born that is being described by these words, 'God has made laughter for me; everyone that hears will laugh for me; and she said, Who would have said to Abraham, Sarah will suckle sons?' For this was in keeping with an ancient custom that when an infant was born it was given a name which served to mean the state; and at the same time a description of that state was added, as when Cain was born to Eve and Adam, Genesis 4:1, and when Seth was born to the same, Genesis 4:25; and as when Noah was born to Lamech, Genesis 5:29, Esau and Jacob to Isaac, Genesis 25:25-26, the twelve sons to Jacob, Genesis 29:32-35; 30:6, 8, 11, 13, 18, 20, 24; 35:18, Perez and Zerah to Tamar, Genesis 38:29-30, Manasseh and Ephraim to Joseph, Genesis 41:51-52, and Gershom and Eliezer to Moses, Exodus 2:22; 18:4. What all these represent, and what they mean in the internal sense, was embodied in the descriptions added to the names that were given. The same is the case here with what Isaac represents and means. What this name embodies is evident to some small extent from this brief explanation that has been given, but deeper arcana are nevertheless concealed there since they are Divine matters, which no sentences or phrases can be formed to express.
