1 И услышалъ Іаковъ слова сыновъ Лавановыхъ, которые говорили: Іаковъ завладјлъ всјмъ, что было у отца нашего, и изъ имјнія отца нашего составилъ все богатство сіе.

2 Іаковъ увидјлъ, что и Лаванъ уже не такъ смотритъ на него, какъ вчера и третьяго дня.

3 И сказалъ Іегова Іакову: возвратись въ землю отцевъ твоихъ, и на родину твою; и Я буду съ тобою.

4 Тогда Іаковъ, пославъ, призвалъ Рахиль и Лію въ поле, къ стаду мелкаго скота своего;

5 и сказалъ имъ: я вижу, что отецъ вашъ смотритъ на меня не такъ, какъ вчера и третьяго дня. Но Богъ отца моего со мною.

6 Вы сами знаете, что я всјми силами работалъ отцу вашему.

7 А отецъ вашъ обманулъ меня, и разъ десять перемјнялъ награду мою. Но Богъ не попустилъ ему сдјлать мнј зло.

8 Скажетъ ли онъ, что скотъ, который съ крапинами будетъ тебј въ награду; скотъ рождается все съ крапинами. Скажетъ ли: пестрый будетъ тебј въ награду; скотъ рождается все пестрый.

9 И отнялъ Богъ скотъ у отца вашего, и отдалъ мнј.

10 Однажды въ такое время, когда скотъ зачинаетъ, я взглянулъ, и увидјлъ во снј козловъ пестрыхъ, съ крапинами и пятнами, скачущихъ на скотъ.

11 Ангелъ Божій сказалъ мнј во снј: Іаковъ! я отвјчалъ: вотъ я.

12 Онъ сказалъ: возведи очи твои, и посмотри; всј козлы, скачущіе на скотинъ, суть пестрые, съ крапинами, и съ пятнами; ибо Я вижу все, что Лаванъ дјлаетъ съ тобою.

13 Я Богъ Веѕиля, гдј ты возлилъ елей на памятникъ, и гдј ты далъ Мнј објтъ. Теперь встань, поди изъ земли сей, и возвратися въ землю рожденія твоего.

14 Рахиль и Лія сказали ему въ отвјтъ: есть ли уже намъ доля, или наслјдство въ домј отца нашего?

15 Не за чужихъ ли онъ насъ почитаетъ? ибо онъ продалъ насъ, и серебро наше съјлъ.

16 Все богатство, которое Богъ отнялъ у отца нашего, есть наше и дјтей нашихъ. И такъ дјлай все, что Богъ повелјлъ тебј.

17 Тогда Іаковъ всталъ, и посадилъ дјтей своихъ и женъ своихъ на верблюдовъ;

18 и взялъ съ собою весь скотъ свой, и все богатство свое, которое пріобрјлъ; скотъ собственный его, который онъ пріобрјлъ въ Падан-Арамј; и пошелъ къ Исааку, отцу своему, въ землю Ханаанскую.

19 И какъ Лаванъ пошелъ стричь скотъ свой: то Рахиль украла идоловъ, которые были у отца ея.

20 И Іаковъ укрылся отъ проницаніа Лавана Арамеянина, поелику не далъ ему знать, что удаляется.

21 И ушелъ со всјмъ, что у него было; и вставъ перешелъ рјку, и пошелъ прямо къ горј Галаадъ

22 На третій день сказали Лавану, что Іаковъ ушелъ.

23 Посему онъ взялъ съ собою сродниковъ своихъ, и гнался за нимъ семь дней, и догналъ его на горј Галаадъ.

24 Но Богъ пришелъ къ Лавану Арамеянину ночью, во снј, и сказалъ ему: берегись, не говори вопреки Іакову ни худаго, ни добраго.

25 Итакъ, когда Лаванъ догналъ Іакова, и когда Іаковъ поставилъ шатеръ свой на горј, а также и Лаванъ расположился съ сродниками своими на горј Галаадъ:

26 тогда Лаванъ сказалъ Іакову: что ты сдјлалъ? для чего ты укрылся отъ меня, и увелъ дочерей моихъ, какъ будто взятыхъ въ плјнъ оружіемъ?

27 Зачјмъ ты убјжалъ тайно, и укрылся отъ меня, и не сказалъ мнј? Я отпустилъ бы тебя съ веселіемъ и съ пјснями, съ тимпаномъ и съ гуслями.

28 Ты не позволилъ мнј даже поцјловать внуковъ моихъ и дочерей моихъ! Это неблагоразумно ты сдјлалъ.

29 Есть въ рукј моей сила сдјлать вамъ зло, но Богъ отца вашего вчера говорилъ ко мнј, и сказалъ: берегись, не говори вопреки Іакову ни худаго, ни добраго.

30 Но пустъ бы ты ушелъ, потому что ты нетерпјливо захотјлъ быть въ домј отца твоего: зачјмъ ты укралъ боговъ моихъ?

31 Іаковъ сказалъ въ отвјтъ Лавану: я ушелъ, потому что боялся; ибо я сказалъ самъ въ себј: не отнялъ бы ты у меня дочерей своихъ.

32 Боговъ же твоихъ, если у кого найдешь, тотъ да не будетъ живъ. При сродникахъ нашихъ узнавай свое въ томъ, что есть у меня, и бери себј. А того не зналъ Іаковъ, что Рахиль украла ихъ.

33 Итакъ Лаванъ ходилъ въ шатеръ Іакова, и въ шатеръ Ліи, и въ шатеръ двухъ рабынь, и не нашелъ ничего. И вышедши изъ шатра Ліи, вошелъ въ шатеръ Рахили.

34 Рахиль же взяла идоловъ и положила ихъ подъ верблюжье сјдло, и сјла на нихъ. И обыскалъ Лаванъ весь шатеръ; но не нашелъ.

35 Она же сказала отцу своему: да не прогнјвается господинъ мой, видя, что я не могу встать предъ тобою; ибо у меня обыкновенное женское. Такимъ образомъ онъ искалъ, но не нашелъ идоловъ.

36 Тогда Іаковъ осердился,. и вступилъ въ споръ съ Лаваномъ. И началъ Іаковъ говорить, и сказалъ Лавану: какая вина моя, какой грјхъ мой, что ты преслјдуешь меня?

37 Ты осмотрјлъ у меня всј вещи; что нашелъ ты изъ всјхъ вещей твоего дома? Покажи здјсь передъ сродниками твоими и передъ сродниками моими; пусть они разсудятъ обоихъ насъ.

38 Двадцать лјтъ я жилъ у тебя; овцы твои и козы твои не выкидывали; овновъ стада твоего я не јлъ.

39 Разтерзаннаго звјремъ я не носилъ тебј; это была моя бјда, ты съ меня взыскивалъ, днемъ ли что пропало, ночью ли пропало.

40 Я томился днемъ отъ жара, а ночью отъ стужи; и сонъ убјгалъ отъ глазъ моихъ.

41 Таковы мои двадцать лјтъ въ домј твоемъ. Я работалъ тебј четырнадцать лјтъ за двухъ дочерей твоихъ, и шесть лјтъ за скотъ твой; а ты десять разъ перемјнялъ награду мою.

42 Еслибы не былъ со мною Богъ отца моего, Богъ Авраама и страхъ Исаака; ты бы теперь отпустилъ меня ни съ чјмъ. Богъ увидјлъ бјдствіе мое, и трудъ рукъ моихъ; и вступился за меня вчера.

43 Лаванъ сказалъ въ отвјтъ: дочери, дочери мои; дјти, дјти мои; скотъ, скотъ мой; все что ты видишь, это мое; но что мнј дјлать теперь съ дочерьми моими и съ дјтьми ихъ, которые рождены ими?

44 Итакъ, сдјлаемъ теперь завјтъ, ты и я; и это будетъ свидјтельствомъ между мною и тобою.

45 И взялъ Іаковъ камень, и поставилъ его въ памятникъ.

46 И сказалъ Іаковъ сродникамъ своимъ: наберите камней. Они набрали камней, и сдјлали холмъ, и јли тамъ на холмј.

47 И назвалъ его Лаванъ: Іегар-Сагадуѕа; а Іаковъ назвалъ его Галаадомъ.

48 И сказалъ Лаванъ: этотъ холмъ свидјтель между мною и тобою сего дня; посему и наречено ему имя: Галаадъ;

49 также Мицфа, отъ того, что Лаванъ сказалъ: да надзираетъ Іегова надо мною и надъ тобою, когда мы скроемся другъ отъ друга.

50 Если ты будешь худо поступать съ дочерями моими, или если возмешь женъ, сверхъ дочерей моихъ: то смотри, человјка нјтъ между нами: Богъ свидјтель между мною и между тобою.

51 И еще сказалъ Лаванъ Іакову: вотъ холмъ сей, и вотъ памятникъ сей, который я поставилъ между мною и тобою.

52 Этотъ холмъ свидјтель, и этотъ памятникъ свидјтель, что ни я не перейду къ тебј за этотъ холмъ, ни ты не перейдешь ко мнј за этотъ холмъ, и за этотъ памятникъ съ злымъ намјреніемъ.

53 Богъ Авраамовъ и Богъ Нахоровъ, да судитъ насъ, Богъ отца ихъ. Тогда Іаковъ поклялся страхомъ отца своего Исаака;

54 и закололъ Іаковъ жертву на горј, и позвалъ сродниковъ своихъ јсть хлјба; и они јли хлјбъ, и ночевали на горј.

55 Вставъ поутру, Лаванъ поцјловалъ внуковъ своихъ и дочерей своихъ, и благословилъ ихъ, потомъ пошелъ, и возвратился Лаванъ въ свое мјсто.

4104. And lifted his sons and his women upon the camels. That this signifies the elevation of truths and of the affections of them, and their orderly arrangement in generals, is evident from the signification of “sons,” as being truths (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2693); from the signification of “women,” here Rachel and Leah and also the handmaids, as being the affections of truth, of knowledges, and of memory-knowledges, as shown before; and from the signification of “camels,” as being general memory-knowledges in the natural (see n. 3048, 3071, 3143, 3145).

[2] He who does not know how the case is with representations and correspondences, cannot believe that these words, “he lifted his sons and his women upon the camels,” have such a signification; for they appear to him too remote from such matters to involve and contain within themselves any such spiritual meaning, for he thinks about sons, women, and camels. But the angels, who see and perceive all such things spiritually, do not think about sons, but when “sons” are mentioned they think of truths; nor do they think about women, but when “women” are mentioned they think of the affections of truth, of knowledges, and of memory-knowledges; nor do they think about camels, but instead they think of general things in the natural. For such is the correspondence of all these things; and such is angelic thought; and wonderful to say such is the thought of the internal spiritual man while living in the body, although the external man is entirely unaware of it. For the same reason, when a man who has been regenerated dies, he comes into the like thought, and can think and speak with angels, and this without instruction; which would be quite impossible unless he had had such interior thought. That the thought is of this character comes from the correspondence of natural and spiritual things; and from this it is evident that although the literal sense of the Word is natural, it nevertheless contains within itself and every particular of it spiritual things; that is, such as are of the interior or spiritual thought and the derivative speech; or in other words, such as exist in the thought and speech of the angels.

[3] As regards the elevation of truths and of the affections of them, and their orderly arrangement in generals, the case is this: The truths and the affections are elevated when the things of eternal life and of the Lord’s kingdom are set before those which belong to life in the body and to the kingdom of the world. When a man acknowledges the former as the principal and primary, and the latter as the instrumental and secondary, then with him truths and the affections of them are elevated; for in the same proportion the man is carried away into the light of heaven, within which there are intelligence and wisdom; and in the same proportion the things which are of the light of the world become to him images and as it were mirrors in which he sees the things of the light of heaven. The contrary happens when the man sets the things of the life of the body and of the kingdom of the world before those of eternal life and the Lord’s kingdom; as when he believes that the latter have no existence because he does not see them, and because no one has come from there and made them known; and also when he believes that if they do exist, nothing worse will happen to him than to others; and when he confirms himself in these ideas, and lives the life of the world, and utterly despises charity and faith. With such a man, truths and the affections of them are not elevated, but are either suffocated, or rejected, or perverted; for he is in natural light, into which nothing of heavenly light inflows. From all this it is evident what is meant by the elevation of truths and of the affections of them.

[4] As regards their orderly arrangement in generals, this is a necessary consequence; for insofar as a man sets heavenly things before worldly ones, so far are the things in his natural arranged in order according to the state of heaven, so that as before said they appear therein as images and mirrors of heavenly things, for they are corresponding representatives. It is the ends that effect the arrangement into order, that is, the Lord through the ends in the man. For there are three things that follow in order, namely, ends, causes, and effects. Ends produce causes, and through causes, effects. Such therefore as are the ends, such come forth the consequent causes, and such the consequent effects. Ends are the inmost things with man; causes are middle or mediates, and are called mediate ends; and effects are ultimates, and are called last or ultimate ends. Effects are also what are called generals. From all this it is evident in what consists orderly arrangement in generals, namely, that when the things of eternal life and of the Lord’s kingdom are regarded as the end, all the middle ends or causes, and all the ultimate ends or effects, are arranged in order in accordance with the end itself; and this in the natural, because the effects are there; or what is the same, the generals are there.

[5] Every man of adult age who possesses any judgment, and will give the matter any consideration, is able to know that he is in two kingdoms, namely, in a spiritual kingdom and in a natural kingdom; and also that the spiritual kingdom is interior, and the natural kingdom exterior; and consequently that he can set one before the other, that is, he can regard one as the end in preference to the other; and thus that the one which he regards as his end, or prefers, rules with him. If therefore he regards the spiritual kingdom as his end, and prefers it (that is, the things that belong to this kingdom), he then acknowledges as the principal and primary, love to the Lord and charity toward the neighbor, and consequently all things that confirm this love and charity, and are said to be of faith; for these belong to that kingdom; and in this case all things in his natural are arranged and set in order in accordance therewith, in order that they may be subservient and obedient. But when a man has as his end and sets first the natural kingdom (that is, the things it contains), he then extinguishes all that is of love to the Lord and of charity toward the neighbor, and all that is of faith, insomuch that he makes them of no account whatever; but makes the love of the world and of self, and all that belongs thereto, to be everything. When this is the case, all things in his natural are arranged in order in accordance with these ends, thus in utter contrariety to the things of heaven; and in this way he makes hell in himself. To regard as an end is to love, for every end is of the love, because whatever is loved is regarded as the end.
