Genesis 35

Estudio

   

1 Ja Jumal ütles Jaakobile: 'Võta kätte, mine üles Peetelisse, ela seal ja tee sinna altar Jumalale, kes sulle ennast ilmutas, kui sa põgenesid oma venna Eesavi eest!'

2 Ja Jaakob ütles oma perele ja kõigile, kes olid koos temaga: 'Kõrvaldage võõrad jumalad, kes teie keskel on, ja puhastage endid ning vahetage riided!

3 Ja me võtame kätte ning läheme üles Peetelisse ja teeme sinna altari Jumalale, kes mind kuulis mu ahastuse ajal ja oli minuga teel, mida käisin.'

4 Siis nad andsid Jaakobile kõik nende käes olevad võõrad jumalad ja kõrvarõngad, mis neil kõrvus olid, ja Jaakob mattis need maha Sekemi ligidal oleva tamme alla.

5 Ja nad läksid teele; aga hirm Jumala ees lasus ümberkaudseil linnadel ja need ei ajanud taga Jaakobi poegi.

6 Ja Jaakob jõudis Luusi, see on Peetelisse Kaananimaal, tema ja kogu rahvas, kes oli koos temaga.

7 Ja ta ehitas sinna altari ning pani sellele paigale nimeks 'Peeteli Jumal', sest seal oli Jumal ennast temale ilmutanud, kui ta põgenes oma venna eest.

8 Aga Deboora, Rebeka imetaja, suri, ja ta maeti ühe tamme alla allpool Peetelit, ja sellele pandi nimeks Nututamm.

9 Ja Jumal ilmutas ennast taas Jaakobile, kui see Mesopotaamiast tuli, ja õnnistas teda.

10 Ja Jumal ütles temale: 'Jaakob on su nimi. Ärgu hüütagu su nime enam Jaakobiks, vaid su nimi olgu Iisrael!' Ja ta pani temale nimeks Iisrael.

11 Ja Jumal ütles temale: 'Mina olen Kõigeväeline Jumal. Ole viljakas ja paljune! Sinust saab rahvas, jah, rahvaste hulk, ja sinu niudeist tulevad kuningad.

12 Ja maa, mille ma andsin Aabrahamile ja Iisakile, ma annan sinule; ka sinu soole pärast sind ma annan selle maa.'

13 Ja Jumal läks tema juurest üles paigast, kus ta temaga oli rääkinud.

14 Ja Jaakob püstitas samba sinna paika, kus ta temaga oli rääkinud, kivisamba, ja kallas selle peale joogiohvri ning valas õli.

15 Ja Jaakob nimetas paiga, kus Jumal temaga oli rääkinud, Peeteliks.

16 Siis nad läksid Peetelist teele. Aga kui veel tükk maad oli minna Efratani, pidi Raahel sünnitama, ja tal oli raske sünnitus.

17 Tema raske sünnituse ajal ütles aitajanaine temale: 'Ära karda, sest ka seekord on sul poeg!'

18 Ja kui ta hing oli välja minemas, sest varsti ta surigi, pani ta temale nimeks Ben-Ooni; aga tema isa kutsus teda Benjaminiks.

19 Ja Raahel suri ning ta maeti Efrata tee äärde, see on Petlemma.

20 Ja Jaakob püstitas tema hauale samba; see Raaheli hauasammas on alles tänapäevani.

21 Ja Iisrael läks teele ning lõi oma telgi üles teisele poole Karjatorni.

22 Ja kui Iisrael elas seal maal, juhtus, et Ruuben läks ja magas oma isa liignaise Billa juures. Ja Iisrael sai sellest kuulda ja see oli paha tema silmis.

23 Jaakobil oli kaksteist poega; Lea pojad: Ruuben, Jaakobi esmasündinu, Siimeon, Leevi, Juuda, Issaskar ja Sebulon;

24 Raaheli pojad: Joosep ja Benjamin;

25 Billa, Raaheli teenija pojad: Daan ja Naftali;

26 Silpa, Lea teenija pojad: Gaad ja Aaser. Need olid Jaakobi pojad, kes sündisid temale Mesopotaamias.

27 Ja Jaakob jõudis oma isa Iisaki juurde Mamresse, Kirjat-Arbasse, see on Hebronisse, kus Aabraham ja Iisak olid võõrastena elanud.

28 Ja Iisaki elupäevi oli sada kaheksakümmend aastat.

29 Siis Iisak heitis hinge ja suri; ta koristati oma rahva juurde, vana ja elatanud; ta pojad Eesav ja Jaakob matsid tema.

Apocalypse Explained #660

660. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them and shall be glad.- That this signifies the delights of infernal love with those who are opposed to the goods and truths of the church, is evident from the signification of they that dwell upon the earth, as denoting those who are in the church; in the present case, those therein who are in evils and in falsities therefrom, consequently those who are opposed to its goods and truths; and from the signification of rejoicing and being glad, as denoting here the delight of infernal love; for all joy and all gladness is from love. For every one rejoices and is glad when his love is favoured, and when he is in pursuit of and attains the object of his love; in a word, all man's joy proceeds from his love, and all sadness and grief of mind from antagonism to his love.

[2] It is said "to rejoice and to be glad" because of the marriage of good and truth. For joy is said of good because it relates to love, as it properly pertains to the heart and will, and gladness is said of truth, because it relates to love of truth, as it properly pertains to the mind and its thought; therefore we say "joy of heart" and "gladness of mind." For everywhere in the Word two expressions occur, one of which has reference to good and the other to truth, and this is the case because the conjunction of good and truth makes both heaven and the church, therefore both heaven and the church are compared to a marriage, from the fact that the Lord is called the bridegroom and husband, and heaven and the church, the bride and wife. He therefore who is not in that marriage is neither an angel of heaven, nor a man of the church. The reason of this also is, that good is not possible with any one unless formed by truths, nor is truth possible unless it lives from good. For all truth is the form of good, and all good is the esse of truth, and because one is not possible without the other, it follows that the marriage of good and truth must necessarily exist both with the men of the church and the angels of heaven; also all intelligence and wisdom are from that marriage, for from it truths and goods are being continually born, by which the understanding and will are formed.

[3] These things have been stated to make it clear why it is said "to rejoice and be glad;" for to rejoice is stated of good and its love or affection, and to be glad is stated of truth, and its love or affection. Similarly also in many other parts of the Word, in the following passages:

"The heavens shall be glad and the earth shall rejoice" (Psalm 96:11).

"Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee" (Psalm 40:16; 70:4).

"The just shall be glad, and exult before God, and shall rejoice in gladness" (Psalm 68:3).

"That we may rejoice all our days, make us glad according to the days thou hast afflicted us" (Psalm 90:14, 15).

"Be glad in Jerusalem, and exult in her, all ye that love her, rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her" (Isaiah 66:10).

"Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Edom" (Lamentations 4:21).

"Behold joy and gladness; killing the ox" (Isaiah 22:13).

"They shall obtain joy and gladness, sadness and sighing shall flee away" (Isaiah 35:10; 51:11).

"Joy and gladness shall be found in Zion, confession and the voice of singing" (Isaiah 51:3).

"Thou wilt make me to hear joy and gladness" (Psalm 51:8).

"Gladness and joy are cut off from the house of our God" (Joel 1:16).

"The fast of the tenth month shall be to the house of Judah for joy and for gladness" (Zech. 8:19).

"The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride" (Jeremiah 7:34; 25:10; 33:11).

[4] In the place of joy, exultation is also mentioned, because exultation like joy, is said of good, because it relates to love, to the heart and to the will; as in the following passages:

"Jacob shall exult, Israel shall be glad" (Psalm 14:7; 53:6).

"I exult and am glad in thy kindness" (Psalm 31:7).

"Be glad in Jehovah, and exult, O ye just" (Psalm 32:11).

"The mount of Zion shall be glad, and the daughters of Judah shall exult" (Psalm 48:11).

"Let all that trust in thee be glad, and let them that love thy name exult in thee" (Psalm 5:11).

"This is the day which Jehovah hath made, we will exult and be glad in it" (Psalm 118:24).

"We will exult and be glad in his salvation" (Isaiah 25:9).

"Be glad and exult for ever in the things which I create" (Isaiah 65:18).

"Exult and be glad that Jehovah hath magnified his doing" (Joel 2:21).

"Sons of Zion exult and be glad in Jehovah your God" (Joel 2:23; Habakkuk 3:18).

"Be glad and exult with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem" (Zephan. 3:14).

"Gladness and exultation are taken away from Carmel" (Isaiah 16:10; Jeremiah 48:33).

The angel said unto Zacharias, "Thou shalt have gladness and exultation, and many shall rejoice at his birth" (Luke 1:14).

In all these passages, exultation signifies delight from the love and affection for good, and gladness signifies pleasure from the love and affection for truth.
