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

4316. In the internal historical sense 'even to this day' means that their nature was perpetually so. This is clear from the meaning of 'even to this day', when used in the Word, as that which is perpetual, dealt with in 2838. The fact that the nature of those descendants was such from earliest times becomes clear from Jacob's sons themselves - from Reuben, in that he lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, Genesis 35:22; from Simeon and Levi, in that they killed Hamor and Shechem and all the men of their city [Genesis 34:25-26]; and from the remaining sons, in that these came on the slain and destroyed the city, Genesis 34:27-29. Because of all this Jacob, who by then was Israel, spoke of them in the following manner before he died: Of Reuben he said,

You shall not be a superior one, for you went up to your father's bed; then you made yourself unworthy. He went up to my couch. Genesis 49:3-4.

And of Simeon and Levi he said,

Into their secret place let my soul not come; with their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and deliberately hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them within Jacob, and will scatter them within Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

[2] What Judah was like becomes additionally clear from his marriage to a Canaanite, Genesis 38:1-2, which was nevertheless contrary to what had been commanded, as may be seen from Abraham's words addressed to the servant who was sent to betroth Rebekah to Isaac his son, Genesis 24:3, 6, and from many places in the Word. A third of that nation belonged to this lineage, that is to say, a third descended from his son Shelah who was born from a Canaanite mother, Genesis 38:11; 46:12. See Numbers 26:20; and 1 Chronicles 4:21-22. Further evidence of what these and the rest of Jacob's sons were like lies in the unspeakable crime which they committed against Joseph, Genesis 37:18-end. What their descendants in Egypt were like is evident from the details which are recorded about them when they were in the desert, where they were rebellious on so many occasions, and after that in the land of Canaan where they became idolaters on so many occasions; and lastly what they were like in the Lord's time is shown just above, in 4314. And what they are like today is well known - they are opposed to the Lord, opposed to the things that constitute the Church, and opposed to charity towards the neighbour, being opposed even to one another. These considerations show that the nature of that nation has been such perpetually. Let no one therefore assume any longer that any Church has existed among them, only that which is a representative of the Church. Still less should anyone assume that they have been chosen in preference to others.
