1 Tada se podiže Jakov i otide u zemlju istočnu.

2 I obzirući se ugleda studenac u polju; i gle, tri stada ovaca ležahu kod njega, jer se na onom studencu pojahu stada, a veliki kamen beše studencu na vratima.

3 Onde se skupljahu sva stada, te pastiri odvaljivahu kamen s vrata studencu i pojahu stada, i posle opet privaljivahu kamen na vrata studencu na njegovo mesto.

4 I Jakov im reče: Braćo, odakle ste? Rekoše: Iz Harana smo.

5 A on im reče: Poznajete li Lavana sina Nahorovog? Oni rekoše: Poznajemo.

6 On im reče: Je li zdrav? Rekoše: Jeste, i evo Rahilje kćeri njegove, gde ide sa stadom.

7 I on reče: Eto još je rano, niti je vreme vraćati stoku; napojte stoku pa idite i pasite je.

8 A oni rekoše: Ne možemo, dokle se ne skupe sva stada, da odvalimo kamen s vrata studencu, onda ćemo napojiti stoku.

9 Dok on još govoraše s njima, dođe Rahilja sa stadom oca svog, jer ona pasaše ovce.

10 A kad Jakov vide Rahilju kćer Lavana ujaka svog, i stado Lavana ujaka svog, pristupi Jakov i odvali kamen studencu s vrata, i napoji stado Lavana ujaka svog.

11 I poljubi Jakov Rahilju, i povikavši zaplaka se.

12 I kaza se Jakov Rahilji da je rod ocu njenom i da je sin Revečin; a ona otrča te javi ocu svom.

13 A kad Lavan ču za Jakova sina sestre svoje, istrča mu na susret, i zagrli ga i poljubi, i uvede u svoju kuću. I on pripovedi Lavanu sve ovo.

14 A Lavan mu reče: Ta ti si kost moja i telo moje. I osta kod njega ceo mesec dana.

15 Tada reče Lavan Jakovu: Zar badava da mi služiš, što si mi rod? Kaži mi šta će ti biti plata?

16 A Lavan imaše dve kćeri: starijoj beše ime Lija, a mlađoj Rahilja.

17 I u Lije behu kvarne oči, a Rahilja beše lepog stasa i lepog lica.

18 I Jakovu omile Rahilja, te reče: Služiću ti sedam godina za Rahilju, mlađu kćer tvoju.

19 A Lavan mu reče: Bolje tebi da je dam nego drugom; ostani kod mene.

20 I odsluži Jakov za Rahilju sedam godina, i učiniše mu se kao nekoliko dana, jer je ljubljaše.

21 I reče Jakov Lavanu: Daj mi ženu, jer mi se navrši vreme, da legnem s njom.

22 I sazva Lavan sve ljude iz onog mesta i učini gozbu.

23 A uveče uze Liju kćer svoju i uvede je k Jakovu, i on leže s njom.

24 I Lavan dade Zelfu robinju svoju Liji kćeri svojoj da joj bude robinja.

25 A kad bi ujutru, gle, ono beše Lija; te reče Jakov Lavanu: Šta si mi to učinio? Ne služim li za Rahilju kod tebe? Zašto si me prevario?

26 A Lavan mu reče: Ne biva u našem mestu da se uda mlađa pre starije.

27 Navrši nedelju dana s tom, pa ćemo ti dati i drugu za službu što ćeš služiti kod mene još sedam godina drugih.

28 Jakov učini tako, i navrši s njom nedelju dana, pa mu dade Lavan Rahilju kćer svoju za ženu.

29 I dade Lavan Rahilji kćeri svojoj robinju svoju Valu da joj bude robinja.

30 I tako leže Jakov s Rahiljom; i voljaše Rahilju nego Liju, i stade služiti kod Lavana još sedam drugih godina.

31 A Gospod videći da Jakov ne mari za Liju, otvori njoj matericu, a Rahilja osta nerotkinja.

32 I Lija zatrudne, i rodi sina, i nadede mu ime Ruvim, govoreći: Gospod pogleda na jade moje, sada će me ljubiti muž moj.

33 I opet zatrudne, i rodi sina i reče: Gospod ču da sam prezrena, pa mi dade i ovog. I nadede mu ime Simeun.

34 I opet zatrudne, i rodi sina, i reče: Da ako se sada većpriljubi k meni muž moj, kad mu rodih tri sina. Zato mu nadeše ime Levije.

35 I zatrudne opet, i rodi sina, i reče: Sada ću hvaliti Gospoda. Zato mu nadede ime Juda; i presta rađati.

3973. Send me away, and I will go to my place, and to my land. That this signifies that there was then a longing of the natural represented by Jacob for a state of conjunction with the Divine of the rational, is evident from the representation of Jacob, who speaks these words, as being the good of natural truth (n. 3972); from the signification of “place,” as being state (n. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387); and from the signification of “land” here, as being the Divine of the rational; for by “my land” is meant his father Isaac and his mother Rebekah, as it was to them he desired to be sent and to go. (That “Isaac” is the Divine rational as to good, may be seen above, n. 2083, 2630, 3012, 3194, 3210; and also that “Rebekah” is Divine truth conjoined with the Divine good of the rational, n. 3012, 3013, 3077.) That a longing for conjunction is signified, is evident from the affection contained in the words.

3194. Isaac came from coming from [or to] Beer-lahai-roi. That this signifies Divine good rational born from Divine truth itself, is evident from the representation of Isaac, as being the Lord’s Divine rational (see n. 2083, 2630); here, as to the Divine good therein, because Divine truth called forth out of the natural (which Divine truth is represented by Rebekah) was not as yet conjoined with good; this conjunction is treated of in the verses which follow; and also from the signification of “to come from coming from Beer-lahai-roi,” as denoting to be born from Divine truth; Beer-lahai-roi in the original tongue signifies “the fountain to the Living One that seeth me;” as above (Genesis 16:13-14) where we read:

Hagar called the name of Jehovah that was speaking unto her, “Thou art the God that seeth me; for she said, Have I also here seen after Him that seeth me? Therefore she called the fountain Beer-lahai-roi (the fountain to the Living One that seeth me).

What is signified by these words may be seen above (n. 1952); where also it is evident that the “fountain” is Divine truth; and that the “Living One that seeth me” is Divine good rational, which is there called the Lord’s interior man, from Divine truth. The case in regard to this very deep arcanum is this: The veriest Divine has Good and Truth; the Lord as to the Divine Human came forth from the Divine good, and was born of the Divine truth; or what is the same, the very esse [or being] of the Lord was Divine good, and the very existere [or manifestation] was Divine truth; and this was the source of the Lord’s Divine good rational, with which He conjoined the Divine truth from the Human.
