Бытие 29

Lernen

   

1 И всталъ Іаковъ, и пошелъ въ землю сыновъ востока.

2 И увидјлъ на полј колодезь, и три стада мелкаго скота, лежавшія около его, потому что изъ того колодезя поили стада. Надъ устьемъ колодезя былъ большой камень.

3 Когда собирались туда всј стада, отваливали камень отъ устья колодезя и поили овецъ; потомъ опять клали камень на свое мјсто, на устье колодезя.

4 Іаковъ сказалъ имъ: братіа мои! откуда вы? Они отвјчали: изъ Харрана.

5 Тогда онъ спросилъ ихъ: знаете ли Лавана, сына Нахорова? они отвјчали: зваемъ.

6 Онъ еще спросилъ: благополученъ ли онъ? они отвјчали: благополученъ; и вотъ, Рахиль, дочь его идетъ съ овцами.

7 Онъ сказалъ: вотъ дня еще много; не время собирать скотъ; напойте овецъ и подите, пасите.

8 Они отвјчали: не можемъ, пока не соберутся всј стада, и не отвалятъ камня отъ устья колодезя; тогда будемъ мы поить овецъ.

9 Еще, какъ онъ разговаривалъ съ ними, пришла Рахиль съ мелкимъ скотомъ отца своего, потому что она пасла.

10 Какъ скоро Іаковъ увидјлъ Рахиль, дочь Лавана, брата матери своей, и овецъ Лавана, брата матери своей: тотчасъ подошелъ Іаковъ, отвалилъ камень отъ устья колодезя, и далъ пить овцамъ Лавана, брата матери своей.

11 Потомъ Іаковъ поцјловалъ Рахили, и, поднявъ вопль, заплакалъ;

12 и сказалъ Іаковъ Рахили, что онъ родственникъ отцу ея, и что онъ сынъ Ревеккинъ. А она побјжала, и сказала отцу своему.

13 Лававъ услышавъ о Іаковј, сынј сестры своей, выбјжалъ ему на встрјчу, обнялъ его, и поцјловалъ его, и ввелъ его въ домъ свой; и онъ разсказалъ Лавану все сіе.

14 Лаванъ же сказалъ ему: подлинно ты кость моя и плоть моя. И жилъ у него Іаковъ цјлый мјсяцъ.

15 Потомъ Лаванъ сказалъ Іакову: неужели ты даромъ будешь работать на меня, потому что ты родственникъ? скажи мнј, что заплатить тебј?

16 У Лавана же были двј дочери, имя старшей: Лія, имя младшей: Рахиль.

17 Лія была больна глазами, а Рахиль была красива станомъ, и красива лицемъ.

18 Іаковъ полюбилъ Рахиль; и потому сказалъ: я буду тебј работать семь лјтъ за Рахиль, младшую дочь твою.

19 На сіе Лаванъ сказалъ: для меня лучше отдать ее за тебя, нежели отдать ее за другаго кого; живи у меня.

20 Такимъ образомъ Іаковъ работалъ за Рахиль семь лјтъ; и они показались ему за нјсколько дней, потому что онъ любилъ ее.

21 И сказалъ Іаковъ Лавану: дай жену мою; потому что мнј уже исполнилось время, чтобы мнј войдти къ ней.

22 Тогда Лаванъ созвалъ всјхъ людей того мјста, и сдјлалъ пиръ.

23 Вечеромъ же взялъ дочь свою Лію, и ввелъ ее къ нему; и онъ вошелъ къ ней.

24 И далъ Лаванъ служанку свою Зелфу въ служанки дочери своей Ліи.

25 Настало утро, и оказалось, что это Лія. Тогда Іаковъ сказалъ Лавану: что это ты сдјлалъ со мною? не за Рахиль ли я работалъ у тебя? зачјмъ ты обманулъ меня?

26 Но Лаванъ сказалъ: въ нашемъ мјстј такъ не дјлаютъ, чтобы младшую выдать прежде старшей;

27 окончи недјлю этой; потомъ дадимъ тебј и ту, за работу, которую ты будешь работать у меня еще семь лјтъ другихъ.

28 Іаковъ такъ и сдјлалъ, и окончилъ недјлю этой. Потомъ Лаванъ далъ Рахиль, дочь свою, ему въ жену.

29 И далъ Лаванъ служанку свою Валлу въ служанки дочери своей Рахили.

30 Іаковъ вошелъ и къ Рахили, и любилъ Рахиль больше, нежели Лію; и работалъ у него еще семь лјтъ другихъ.

31 Іегова узрјлъ, что Лія была нелюбима, и отверзъ утробу ея, а Рахиль была неплодна.

32 Лія зачала, и родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: Рувимъ; потому что, говорила она: Іегова призрјлъ на меня бјдную; теперь будетъ любить меня мужъ мой.

33 И зачала опять, и родила сына, и сказала: Іегова услышалъ, что я нелюбима, и даровалъ мнј еще сего; посему нарекла ему имя: Симеонъ.

34 И зачала еще, и родила сына, и сказала: теперь-то прилјпится ко мнј мужъ мой; ибо я родила ему трехъ сыновъ. Отъ сего наречено ему имя: Левій.

35 И еще зачала, и родила сына и сказала: теперь то я восхвалю Іегову. Посему нарекла ему имя Іуда. И перестала рождать.

3865. For now my man will love me. That this signifies that hence would come the good of truth, is evident from the signification of “will love,” as being the good therefrom; for all good is of love, and is therefore here signified by “loving;” and from the signification of “man,” as being truth (n. 3134). What the good of truth is, has often been explained above, namely, that it is the affection of truth for the sake of life; for life is the good which is regarded in the truth by those who are afterwards regenerated. Without a life according to truth, no conjunction of truth with good is effected, consequently no appropriation.

[2] Everyone can plainly see this by directing his attention to those who live ill, and to those who live well: they who live ill, even although like others they have been instructed during childhood and youth in the doctrines of the church, are nevertheless found on examination to believe nothing at all concerning the Lord, or concerning faith in Him and the truths of the church; whereas they who live well have everyone of them faith in the truths which they believe to be truths. They, however, who teach truths, as do the overseers of the church, and live ill, may indeed profess to believe, yet still at heart they do not believe.

[3] With some of these there is a persuasion which has the semblance of faith, amounting to no more than mere memory-knowledge confirmed, not because it is truth, but because it is expedient to make profession of it for the sake of one’s office, honor, and gain. This penetrates no deeper than through the ears into the memory, and from the memory it goes forth into the lips, but not into the heart, and from this into confession. From this it is evident that it is the life which shows the quality of the acknowledgment of truth; that is, the quality of the faith; and that it is faith separated from the good of life which declares that however a man lives he may nevertheless be saved through grace; and which argues against the doctrine that everyone’s life remains with him after death.

Genesis 30

1 When Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister. She said to Jacob, "Give me children, or else I will die."

2 Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said, "Am I in God's place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?"

3 She said, "Behold, my maid Bilhah. Go in to her, that she may bear on my knees, and I also may obtain children by her."

4 She gave him Bilhah her handmaid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

5 Bilhah conceived, and bore Jacob a son.

6 Rachel said, "God has judged me, and has also heard my voice, and has given me a son." Therefore called she his name Dan.

7 Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid, conceived again, and bore Jacob a second son.

8 Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and have prevailed." She named him Naphtali.

9 When Leah saw that she had finished bearing, she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob as a wife.

10 Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a son.

11 Leah said, "How fortunate!" She named him Gad.

12 Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, bore Jacob a second son.

13 Leah said, "Happy am I, for the daughters will call me Happy." She named him Asher.

14 Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother, Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

15 She said to her, "Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes, also?" Rachel said, "Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes."

16 Jacob came from the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, "You must come in to me; for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." He lay with her that night.

17 God listened to Leah, and she conceived, and bore Jacob a fifth son.

18 Leah said, "God has given me my hire, because I gave my handmaid to my husband." She named him Issachar.

19 Leah conceived again, and bore a sixth son to Jacob.

20 Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good dowry. Now my husband will live with me, because I have borne him six sons." She named him Zebulun.

21 Afterwards, she bore a daughter, and named her Dinah.

22 God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her, and opened her womb.

23 She conceived, bore a son, and said, "God has taken away my reproach."

24 She named him Joseph, saying, "May Yahweh add another son to me."

25 It happened, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, "Send me away, that I may go to my own place, and to my country.

26 Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you."

27 Laban said to him, "If now I have found favor in your eyes, stay here, for I have divined that Yahweh has blessed me for your sake."

28 He said, "Appoint me your wages, and I will give it."

29 He said to him, "You know how I have served you, and how your livestock have fared with me.

30 For it was little which you had before I came, and it has increased to a multitude. Yahweh has blessed you wherever I turned. Now when will I provide for my own house also?"

31 He said, "What shall I give you?" Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed your flock and keep it.

32 I will pass through all your flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted one, and every black one among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats. This will be my hire.

33 So my righteousness will answer for me hereafter, when you come concerning my hire that is before you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that might be with me, will be counted stolen."

34 Laban said, "Behold, let it be according to your word."

35 That day, he removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

36 He set three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.

37 Jacob took to himself rods of fresh poplar, almond, plane tree, peeled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.

38 He set the rods which he had peeled opposite the flocks in the gutters in the watering-troughs where the flocks came to drink. They conceived when they came to drink.

39 The flocks conceived before the rods, and the flocks brought forth streaked, speckled, and spotted.

40 Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the streaked and all the black in the flock of Laban: and he put his own droves apart, and didn't put them into Laban's flock.

41 It happened, whenever the stronger of the flock conceived, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the flock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods;

42 but when the flock were feeble, he didn't put them in. So the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.

43 The man increased exceedingly, and had large flocks, female servants and male servants, and camels and donkeys.
