Бытие 34

1 Нјкогда Дина, дочь Ліи, которую она родила Іакову, вышла посмотрјть дочерей земли той.

2 Увидјлъ ее Сихемъ, сынъ Эммора, Хиввеянина, князя земли той, и взялъ ее, и былъ съ нею, и сдјлалъ ей насиліе.

3 И прилјпилась душа его къ Динј, дочери Іаковлевой, и онъ полюбилъ дјвицу, и говорилъ по сердцу дјвицы.

4 И сказалъ Сихемъ Эммору, отцу своему, говоря: возьми мнј эту дјвицу въ жену.

5 Іаковъ слышалъ, что онъ обезчестилъ Дину, дочь его; но какъ сыновья его были со скотомъ его въ полј, то Іаковъ молчалъ, пока не пришли они.

6 И пришелъ Эмморъ, отецъ Сихемовъ, къ Іакову, поговорить съ нимъ.

7 Сыновъя же Іаковлевы, услышавъ, пришли съ поля, и огорчились, и воспылаъ у нихъ сильный гнјвъ, потому, что безчестіе сдјлалъ онъ Израилю, бывъ съ дочерью Іакова; такъ не надлежало бы дјлать.

8 Эмморъ сталъ говорить имъ, и сказалъ: Сихемъ, сынъ мой, прилјпился душею къ дочери вашей; дайте ее въ жену ему.

9 Породнитесъ съ нами; отдавайте за насъ дочерей вашихъ, и нашихъ дочерей берите себј.

10 Съ нами и живите, земля сія предъ вами, живите на ней, и производите на ней промыслъ, пріобрјтайте ее во владјніе.

11 Сихемъ также сказалъ отцу ея и братьямъ ея: только бы мнј обрјсти благоволеніе въ очахъ вашихъ, я дамъ, что ни скажете мнј.

12 Назначьте самое большое вјно и дары, я дамъ, что ни скажете мнј: только дайте мнј дјвицу въ жену.

13 И отвјчали сыновья Іакова Сихему и Эммору, отцу его, съ лукавствомъ, за то, что онъ обезчестилъ Дину, сестру ихъ, и говорили;

14 и сказали имъ: не можемъ того сдјлать, чтобы выдать сестру нашу за человјка, который не обрјзанъ; ибо это у насъ безчестно.

15 Впрочемъ мы согласимся съ вами на семъ условіи, если вы будете подобны намъ въ томъ, чтобы у васъ весь мужскій полъ былъ обрјзанъ.

16 Тогда будемъ отдавать за васъ дочерей нашихъ, и брать за себя вашихъ дочерей, и будемъ жить съ вами, а составимъ одинъ народъ.

17 А если не послушаетесь насъ въ томъ, чтобы обрјзаться, то мы возьмемъ сестру свою, и удалимся.

18 И былъ Эмморъ доволенъ словами ихъ, и Сихемъ, сынъ Эмморовъ, былъ доволенъ.

19 Юноша не умедлилъ исполнить сіе; потому что любилъ дочь Іаковлеву. Притомъ же онъ болје всјхъ уважаемъ былъ въ дому отца своего.

20 И пришелъ Эмморъ и сынъ его Сихемъ къ воротамъ города своего, и стали говорить жителямъ города своего, и сказали:

21 сіи люди мирно живутъ съ нами; пусть они селятся на землј, и производятъ на ней промыслы; земля же, видите, пространна во всј стороны передъ ними. Станемъ брать дочерей ихъ себј въ жены, и нашихъ дочерей выдавать за нихъ.

22 Только сіи люди соглашаются жить съ нами, и быть однимъ народомъ, на томъ условіи, чтобы и у насъ обрјзанъ былъ весь мужескій полъ, какъ они обрјзаны.

23 Не намъ ли достанутся стада ихъ, и имјніе ихъ, и весь скотъ ихъ? только согласимся съ ними, чтобы они жили у насъ.

24 И послушались Эммора и сына его Сихема всј выходящіе изъ воротъ города его, и всякій выходящій изъ воротъ города его, мужескаго пола, былъ обрјзанъ.

25 Но на третій день, когда они были въ болјзни, два сына Іакова, Симеонъ и Левій, братья Дины, взяли каждый свой мечъ, напали нечаянно на городъ, и перебили весь мужескій полъ;

26 и самаго Эммора и Сихема, сына его, убили остріемъ меча; и взяли Дину изъ дома Сихемова и вышли.

27 Сыновья Іакова пришли къ убитымъ, и разграбили городъ, за то, что они обезчестили сестру ихъ.

28 Они взяли мелкій и крупный скотъ ихъ, и ословъ ихъ, и что ни было въ городј, и что ни было въ полј.

29 И все богатство ихъ, и всјхъ дјтей ихъ, и женъ ихъ взяли въ плјнъ, и разграбили также и все, что было въ домахъ.

30 И сказалъ Іаковъ Симеону и Левію: вы нарушили покой мой, сдјлавъ меня ненавистнымъ между жителями сей земли, между Хананеями и Ферезеями. У меня людей мало, соберутся противъ меня, поразятъ меня, и истребленъ буду я и домъ мой.

31 Но они сказали: надлежало ли поступать съ сестрою нашею, какъ съ блудницею!

4316. That in the internal historical sense by “even unto this day” is signified that they are such forever, is evident from the signification of “even unto this day,” which where mentioned in the Word means forever (see n. 2838). That this posterity was such from the earliest times, may be seen from the sons of Jacob themselves-from Reuben, in that he “lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine” (Genesis 35:22); from Simeon and Levi, who killed Hamor and Shechem, and all the men of their city; and that the rest of his sons came upon the pierced and plundered the city (Genesis 34:1-31). Therefore Jacob, then Israel, before he died, spoke of them thus: of Reuben, “Thou shalt not excel, because thou wentest up on thy father’s bed; then didst thou make thyself unworthy; he went up on my couch” (Genesis 49:3-4); and of Simeon and Levi, “Into their secret let not my soul come, with their assembly let not my glory be united; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their set purpose they houghed an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it was vehement, and their fury, for it was grievous; I will divide them among Jacob, and scatter them among Israel” (Genesis 49:5-7).

[2] The quality of Judah may also be seen from the fact that he took a Canaanitess for his wife (Genesis 38:1-2), which nevertheless was contrary to what had been commanded, as may be seen from Abraham’s words to his servant, whom he sent to betroth Rebekah to his son Isaac (Genesis 24:3, 6); and from many other passages in the Word. A third part of that nation was from this stock, that is, from his son Shelah who was born of the Canaanitish mother (Genesis 38:11; 46:12; see Numbers 26:20; 1 Chron. 4:21-22). The same may be further seen from the wicked deed of these and the other sons of Jacob against Joseph (Genesis 37:18-36). The quality of their posterity in Egypt is manifest from what is related of them when they were in the wilderness, where they were so often rebellious; and afterwards in the land of Canaan, where they so frequently became idolaters. Lastly, their quality in the Lord’s time has been shown just above (see n. 4314); and what they are at this day is known, namely, opposed to the Lord, to the things of the church, to charity toward the neighbor, and to one another. From all this it may be seen that this nation has ever been of this nature. Let no one therefore any longer entertain the opinion that there was any church among them, or more than a representative of a church, and still less that they were chosen in preference to others.

2838. As it is said to this day. That this signifies what is perpetual, is evident from the signification of “today” in the Word explained in what follows. We read in several places in the Word, “even to this day,” or “to today;” as in what goes before, “He is the father of Moab even unto this day; and the father of Ammon unto this day” (Genesis 19:37-38); and later in the same book, “The name of the city is Beersheba, even to this day” (Genesis 26:33). Also this, “The sons of Israel eat not the sinew of the part put out of place, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, even to this day” (Genesis 32:32). And also this, “This is the pillar of Rachel’s grave even unto this day” (Genesis 35:20). “Joseph made it a statute even to this day” (Genesis 47:26). In the historical sense these things regard the time when Moses lived; but in the internal sense by “this day” and by “today” there is signified perpetuity and eternity of state. That “day” is state may be seen above (n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893); and thus “today” also, which is time present. That which is of time in the world, is eternal in heaven. That this might be signified, “today” is added, or “to this day,” although it appears to those who are in the historical sense as if it involved nothing further. The like is said elsewhere in the Word (as Josh. 4:9; 6:25; 7:26; Judges 1:21, 1:26; other places).

[2] That “today” signifies perpetuity and eternity may be seen in David:

I will tell of the decree: Jehovah hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten Thee (Psalms 2:7); where “this day” manifestly denotes what is eternal. In the same:

Forever O Jehovah Thy Word is settled in the heavens, Thy truth is unto generation and generation; Thou hast established the earth, and it abideth; they abide this day according to Thy judgments (Psalms 119:89-91); where also “this day” manifestly denotes what is eternal.

In Jeremiah:

Before I formed Thee in the belly, I knew Thee; and before Thou camest forth out of the womb, I sanctified Thee; I gave Thee for a prophet unto the nations; I have set Thee this day over the nations and over the kingdoms, and I have made Thee this day a defensed city, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass (Jeremiah 1:5, 10, 18);

here in the sense of the letter Jeremiah is treated of, but in the internal sense the Lord is meant; “I have set Thee this day, or today, over the nations and over the kingdoms, and I have made Thee this day a defensed city” means that it was from eternity. Of the Lord nothing else than what is eternal can be predicated.

[3] In Moses:

Ye are standing this day all of you before Jehovah your God, to enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath, which Jehovah thy God maketh with thee this day, that He may establish thee this day unto Himself for a people; and He will be a God unto thee; and not with you only, but with them who stand here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with them who are not with us this day (Deuteronomy 29:10, 12-14).

In the sense of the letter here “this day” is the time present when Moses spoke to the people; but that it nevertheless involves the time to come and what is perpetual, is evident; for to make a covenant with anyone, and with those who were there, and not there, involves perpetuity, and the perpetuity itself is what is meant in the internal sense.

[4] That “daily” and “this day” signify what is perpetual, is also evident from the sacrifice which was made every day. This, on account of the signification of “day,” “daily,” and “this day,” was called the continual or perpetual sacrifice (Numbers 28:3, 23; Deuteronomy 8:13; 11:31; 12:11). This is still more plainly evident from the manna which rained from heaven, of which it is thus said in Moses:

Behold I will rain bread from heaven; and the people shall go out and gather a portion day by day; and let no man leave of it till the morning. What they left till the morning bred worms, and putrefied, except what was kept the day before the Sabbath (Exodus 16:4, 19-20, 23).

This was because the manna signified the Lord’s Divine Human (John 6:31-32, 49-50, 58). And because it signified the Lord’s Divine Human, it signified heavenly food, which is nothing else than love and charity together with the goods and truths of faith. This food is given by the Lord in the heavens to the angels every moment, and thus perpetually and to eternity (see n. 2493). This also is what is meant in the Lord’s Prayer by “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11; Luke 11:3); that is, every instant to eternity.
