創世記 33

1 雅各舉目觀,見以掃來了,後頭跟著,他就把孩子們分開交給利亞、拉結,和兩個使女,

2 並且叫兩個使女和他們的孩子在前頭,利亞和他的孩子在後頭,拉結和約瑟在儘後頭。

3 他自己在他們前頭過去,一連次俯伏在才就哥哥

4 以掃跑來迎接他,將他抱住,又摟著他的頸項,與他親嘴,兩個人就哭了。

5 以掃舉目見婦人孩子,就:這些?和你同行的是誰呢?雅各:這些孩子是施恩給你的僕人的

6 於是兩個使女和他們的孩子前來下拜;

7 利亞和他的孩子也前來下拜;隨約瑟和拉結也前來下拜。

8 以掃:我所遇見的這些群畜是甚麼意思呢?雅各:是要在我面前蒙恩的。

9 以掃兄弟阿,我的已經夠了,你的仍歸你罷!

10 雅各:不然,我若在你眼前蒙恩,就求你從我裡收下這禮物;因為我見了你的面,如同見了的面,並且你容納了我。

11 求你收下我帶來給你的禮物;因為恩待我,使我充足。雅各再三地求他,他才收下了。

12 以掃我們可以起身前往,我在你前頭走。

13 雅各對他:我知道孩子們年幼嬌嫩,牛也正在乳養的時候,若是催趕一天畜都必死了

14 求我僕人前頭走,我要量著在我面前群畜和孩子的力量慢慢地前行,直走到西珥我那裡。

15 以掃:容我把跟隨我的人留幾個在你這裡。雅各:何必呢?只要在我眼前蒙恩就是了。

16 於是,以掃當日起行,回往西珥去了。

17 雅各就往疏割去,在那裡為自己蓋造房屋,又為牲畜搭棚;因此那地方疏割(就是棚的意思)。

18 雅各從巴旦亞蘭回的時候,平平安安到了迦南示劍城,在城東支搭帳棚,

19 就用一塊銀子向示劍的父親、哈抹的子孫買了支帳棚的那塊地,

20 在那裡築了一座,起名伊利伊羅伊以色列(就是神、以色列神的意思)。

4394. Which is in the land of Canaan. That this signifies in the Lord’s kingdom, is evident from the signification of the “land of Canaan,” as being the Lord’s kingdom (see n. 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705). When a man is in interior truths in faith and in life, he is in the Lord’s kingdom, and in a state of tranquillity, and then looks at exterior things as one who looks from a high hill upon a tempestuous sea.

Arcana Coelestia #1610

1610. I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth. That this signifies multiplication immeasurably, is evident without explication. It is here said that his seed should be made “as the dust of the earth;” in other places in the Word, “as the sand of the sea,” and in others, “as the stars of the heavens.” Each expression has its own peculiar signification. “The dust of the earth” refers to things that are celestial, for “the earth,” as before shown, signifies the celestial of love. “The sand of the sea” refers to things that are spiritual; for “the sea,” as has also been shown, signifies the spiritual of love. “As the stars of the heavens” signifies both of these, in a higher degree; and as none of these things can be numbered, it became a customary form of speaking to express by them immeasurable fructification and multiplication.

[2] That his seed (that is, the faith of love, or love) should be immeasurably multiplied, in the supreme sense, signifies the Lord, and in fact His Human Essence; for the Lord as to His Human Essence was called “the Seed of the woman” (see n. 256). And when the Lord’s Human Essence is signified, by immeasurable multiplication is meant the infinite celestial and spiritual; but when the faith of charity, or charity, in the human race, is signified by “seed,” it is meant that this seed in each one who lives in charity is immeasurably multiplied; as also comes to pass in the other life, with everyone who lives in charity. With such a one, charity and the derivative faith, and, together with these, happiness, are multiplied to such a degree, that it can only be described as immeasurable, and beyond words. When by “seed” there is signified the human race, the multiplication of this in the Lord’s Kingdom is also immeasurable, not only from those who are within the church and their children, but also from those who are without the church and their children. Hence the kingdom of the Lord, or heaven, is immeasurable. Concerning its immensity, of the Lord’s Divine mercy more will be said elsewhere.
