1 Богъ сказалъ Іакову: встань, поди въ Веѕиль, и живи тамъ; и устрой тамъ жертвейникъ Богу, явившемуся тебј, когда ты бјжалъ отъ лица Исава, брата твоего.

2 И сказалъ Іаковъ дому своему, и всјмъ бывшимъ съ нимъ: бросьте боговъ чужихъ, находящихся у васъ, и очиститесь, и перемјните одежды ваши;

3 встанемъ и пойдемъ въ Веѕиль; тамъ устрою я жертвенникъ Богу, Который услышалъ меня въ день скорби моей, и былъ со мною въ пути, въ который я ходилъ.

4 И отдали Іакову всјхъ боговъ чужихъ, бывшихъ въ рукахъ ихъ, и серьги, бывшія въ ушахъ у нихъ; и закопалъ ихъ Іаковъ подъ терпентиномъ, который близъ Сихема.

5 Потомъ они отправилисъ. И былъ ужасъ Божій на окрестныхъ городахъ, и не преслјдовали сыновъ Іаковлевыхъ.

6 И пришелъ Іаковъ въ Лузъ, иначе Веѕиль, въ землј Ханаанской, самъ и всј люди бывшіе съ нимъ;

7 и устроилъ тамъ жертвенникъ, и назвалъ сіе мјсто: Эл-Веѕиль; ибо тутъ явился ему Богъ, когда онъ бјжалъ отъ лица брата своего.

8 Тогда умерла Девора. кормилица Реввекина, и погребена ниже Веѕиля подъ дубомъ, который и назвалъ Іаковъ дубомъ плача.

9 Опять явился Богъ Іакову, по возврашеніи его изъ Падан-Арама, и благословилъ его.

10 И сказалъ ему Богъ: имя твое Іаковъ. Отнынј ты не будешь называться Іаковомъ, но будетъ имя тебј Израиль. И нарекъ ему имя: Израилъ.

11 И сказалъ ему Богъ: Я Богъ Всемогущій. Плодись и умножайся. Народъ и множество народовъ произойдетъ отъ тебя, и цари выйдутъ изъ чреслъ твоихъ.

12 Землю, которую Я далъ Аврааму и Исааку, Я дамъ тебј, и потомству твоему по тебј дамъ землю сію.

13 И возшелъ отъ него Богъ, отъ мјста, на которомъ говорилъ ему.

14 И поставилъ Іаковъ памятникъ на мјстј. на которомъ говорилъ ему Богъ, памятникъ каменный; и возлилъ на него возліяніе, и возлилъ на него елей.

15 И нарекъ Іаковъ имя мјсту, на которомъ Богъ говорилъ ему: Веѕиль.

16 И отправились изъ Веѕиля. И когда еще оставалось нјкоторое пространство земли до Ефраѕы, Рахиль родила, и роды ея были трудны.

17 Когда же она страдала въ родахъ, повивальная бабка сказала ей: не бойся; ибо это еще тебј сынъ.

18 И когда выходила изъ ней душа, ибо она умирала, то нарекла ему имя: Бен-они. Но отецъ его назвалъ его Веніаминомъ.

19 И умерла Рахиль, и погребена на дорогј въ Ефраѕу, которая есть Виѕлеемъ.

20 Іаковъ поставилъ надъ гробомъ ея памятникъ. Сей памятникъ на гробј Рахилиномъ находится до сего дня.

21 И пошелъ Израиль далје, и раскинулъ шатеръ свой за башнею Гадеръ.

22 Во время пребыванія Израиля въ сей странј случилось, что Рувимъ пошелъ, и преспалъ съ Валлою, наложницею отца своего. И услышалъ Израиль. Сыновъ же у Іакова было двјнадцать.

23 Сыновья Ліи: первенецъ Іаковлевъ Рувимъ, по немъ Симеонъ, Левій, Іуда, Иссахаръ, и Завулонъ.

24 Сыновья Рахили: Іосифъ и Веніаминъ.

25 Сыновья Валлы, служанки Рахилиной: Данъ и Нефѕалимъ.

26 Сыновья Зелфы, служанки Ліиной: Гадъ и Ассиръ. Сіи суть сыновья Іакова, родившіеся ему въ Падан-Арамј.

27 И пришелъ Іаковъ къ Исааку, отцу своему, въ Мамре, въ Киріаѕ-Арбу, иначе Хевронъ, гдј странствовали Авраамъ и Исаакъ.

28 И было дней жизни Исааковой сто восемьдесятъ лјть.

29 И испустилъ Исаакъ духъ, и умеръ, и присоединился къ народу своему, будучи старъ и насыщенъ жизнію; и погребли его Исавъ и Іаковъ, сыновья его

3870. 'That I was hated' means the state of faith if there is no will corresponding to it. This is clear from the meaning of 'hated' as not loved, for this is the state of faith if the will does not correspond to it. The subject in the internal sense is the advance of a person's regeneration from what is external to what is internal, that is, from the truth of faith towards the good of charity. Truth which is the truth of faith is external, and good which is the good of charity is internal. So that it may be living, truth which is the truth of faith must be introduced into the will so as to receive life there. For truth which issues from knowledge is not living, only truth which issues from the will. Through the new will which the Lord creates in man life flows in from Him. The life which comes first manifests itself in obedience, this being the first degree of the will. The life which comes second manifests itself in the affection for doing what is true, this being a more advanced degree of the will, which is arrived at when delight and blessing are felt in the doing of what is true. Unless faith advances in this way truth does not become truth but something separated from life. Sometimes it becomes the corroboration of falsity, sometimes persuasive belief, and so something debased, for it couples itself to man's evil affection or desire, that is, to the will that is properly his own and the reverse of charity. Such is the faith which is believed to be true faith by many at the present day; they believe that this faith is able - of itself, without the works of charity - to save a person.

[2] But this faith - that is to say, faith separated from charity and therefore contrary to charity - is represented later on by Reuben's lying with Bilhah his father's concubine, Genesis 35:22, and by the expression of disgust by Jacob, who by then was named Israel, in the following words,

Reuben, my firstborn, you are my strength and the beginning of my power. Unstable as water, may you not excel, for you went up to your father's bed; then you defiled it. He went up to my couch. Genesis 49:3-4.

Also described in that chapter, by means of Simeon and Levi, is the contrariety to charity of the will and affection that go with this faith, namely faith separated from charity, in the following words,

Simeon and Levi are brothers; weapons of violence are their swords. Into their secret place let my soul not come; in their assembly let not my glory be united; for in their fury they killed a man, and in their wilfulness they hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their fury, for it is fierce, and their anger, for it is severe. I will divide them in Jacob, and will scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

That faith separated from charity is described in this case by Simeon and Levi will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown later on.
