Бытие 25

1 И взялъ Авраамъ еще жену, именемъ Хеттуру.

2 Она родила ему Зимрана, Іокшана, Медана, Мадіана, Ишбака и Шуаха.

3 Отъ Іокшана родились Шева и Деданъ. Сыны Дедана были: Ашуримъ, Летушимъ и Леюмимъ.

4 Сыны Мадіана: Ефа, Еферъ, Ханохъ, Авида и Елдага. Всј сіи суть сыны Хеттуры.

5 Впрочемъ Авраамъ отдалъ все имјніе свое Исааку.

6 А сынамъ наложницъ, которыя были у Авраама, далъ Авраамъ дары, и отпустилъ ихъ отъ Исаака, сына своего, еще при жизни своей, къ востоку, въ землю восточную.

7 Дней жизни Авраамовой, которые онъ прожилъ, было сто семьдесять пять лјтъ.

8 И скончался Авраамъ, и умеръ въ старости доброй, будучи престарјлъ и насыщенъ жизнію, и присоединился къ народу своему.

9 И погребли его Исаакъ и Измаилъ, сыновьа его, въ пещерј Махпелј, на полј ЕФрона, сына Цохара, Хеттеянина, которое находится противъ Мамре,

10 на полј, которое Авраамъ приобрјлъ отъ сыновъ Хетовыхъ. Тамъ погребены Авраамъ и Сарра, жена его.

11 По смерти Авраама, Богъ благословилъ Исаака, сына его. Исаакъ жилъ при Беэр-лахай-рои.

12 Вотъ родословіе Измаила, сына Авраамова, котораго родила Аврааму Агарь, Египтянка, служанка Саррина;

13 и вотъ имена сыновъ Измаиловыхъ, имена ихъ по поколјніямъ ихъ: первенецъ Измаиловъ Наваіоѕъ, за нимъ Кедаръ, Адбеелъ, Мивсамъ,

14 Мишма, Дума, Масса,

15 Хададъ, Ѕема, Іетуръ, Нафишъ и Кедма.

16 Сіи суть сыны Измаиловы, и сіи суть имена ихъ въ родахъ ихъ, въ кочевьяхъ ихъ. Это двјнадцать князей племенъ ихъ.

17 Лјтъ же жизни Измаиловой было сто тридцать семь лјтъ; и скончался онъ, и умеръ, и присоединился къ народу своему.

18 Потомки его разселились отъ Хавилы до Сура, что противъ Египта, и даже до Ассиріи. Такъ палъ ему жребій жить предъ лицемъ всјхъ братьевъ своихъ.

19 Воть родословіе Исаака, сына Авраамова. Авраамъ родилъ Исаака.

20 Исааку было сорокъ лјтъ отъ рожденія, когда онъ взялъ себј въ жену Ревекку, дочь Ваѕуила Арамеянина изъ Месопотаміи, сестру Лавана Арамеянина.

21 И молился Исаакъ Іеговј о женј своей, потому что она была неплодна: и услышалъ его Іегова, и зачала Ревекка, жена его.

22 И стали биться младенцы въ утробј ея; тогда сказала она: если такъ, то для чего мнј это? и пошла вопросить Іегову.

23 Іегова сказалъ ей: Два племени во чревј твоемъ, И Два различныхъ народа произойдутъ изъ утробы твоей; Одинъ народъ сдјлается сильнје другаго, И большій будетъ въ порабощеніи у меньшаго.

24 Когда настало время родить ей: оказалось, что въ утробј ея были близнецы.

25 Первый вышелъ рыжій, весь какъ волосяная одежда; и нарекли ему имя: Исавъ.

26 Потомъ вышелъ братъ его, держась рукою своею за пяту Исава; и наречено ему имя: Іаковъ. Исааку же было шестьдесятъ лјтъ, когда они родились.

27 Дјти выросли. Исавъ былъ человјкъ искусный въ звјроловствј, любящій быть въ полј; а Іаковъ человјкъ кроткій, живущій въ шатрахъ.

28 Исаакъ любилъ Исава, потому что любилъ јсть изловленное; а Ревекка любила Іакова.

29 Однажды сварилъ Іаковъ похлебку; а Исавъ пришелъ съ поля и усталъ.

30 И сказалъ Исавъ Іакову: дай мнј појсть краснаго, краснаго этого, ибо я усталъ. Отъ сего дано ему прозваніе: Эдомъ.

31 Но Іаковъ сказалъ: продай мнј теперь свое первородство.

32 Исавъ сказалъ: вотъ я скоро умру; что мнј въ этомъ первородствј?

33 Іаковъ сказалъ: поклянись мнј теперь же. Онъ поклялся, и такимъ образомъ продалъ первородство свое Іакову.

34 Тогда Іаковъ далъ Исаву хлјба и похлебки изъ чечевицы; и онъ јлъ, и пилъ, и всталъ, и пошелъ; и за ничто почелъ Исавъ первородство.

3235. 'Abraham took another wife' means a further state which the Lord, whom Abraham represents, passed through - for 'Abraham and Sarah' represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, 'Abraham and Keturah' the Lord as regards the Divine Spiritual. This is clear from what has been stated and shown so far about Abraham and his wife Sarah, and from what is recorded here about Abraham and Keturah. But as it is said that Abraham here represents a further state which the Lord passed through, and that Abraham and Sarah represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, whereas Abraham and Keturah did so as regards the Divine Spiritual, one needs to know what is meant by the Divine Celestial and by the Divine Spiritual. The Divine Celestial and the Divine Spiritual have to do with those people who receive the Lord's Divine, for the Lord is seen by everyone according to the character of the recipient, as becomes clear from what has been stated in 1838, 1861, and is quite evident from the fact that the Lord appears to celestial people in one way but to spiritual in another. For He appears as the sun to those who are celestial, but as the moon to those who are spiritual, 1529-1531, 1838. The Lord appears to celestial people as the sun because in them celestial love, which is love to the Lord, is present, but to spiritual people as the moon because in these spiritual love, which is charity towards the neighbour, is present. The difference is like that between the light of the sun during the daytime and the light of the moon at night, and also between the warmth of both which causes things in the ground to grow. These are what were meant in Genesis 1 by the words,

And God made the two great Lights, the greater Light to have dominion over the day, and the lesser Light to have dominion over the night. Genesis 1:16.

[2] The Lord's kingdom is in general celestial and spiritual, that is, it consists of those who are celestial and of those who are spiritual. And because the Lord's Divine appears to those who are celestial as being celestial, but to those who are spiritual as being spiritual, it is therefore said that Abraham and Sarah represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, but Abraham and Keturah as regards the Divine Spiritual. But as scarcely anyone knows what the celestial is or what the spiritual, and who they are who are celestial or spiritual, please see what has been stated and shown about them already in the following places:

What the celestial is and what the spiritual, 1155, 1577, 1824, 2048, 2184, 2227, 2507.

Who celestial people are and who spiritual, 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715.

The celestial man is a likeness of the Lord and does good from love, whereas the spiritual man is an image of the Lord and does it from faith, 50-52, 1013.

Those who are celestial perceive truth from good and never indulge in reasoning about it, 202, 337, 607, 895, 1121, 2715.

With the celestial man good is implanted in the will part of his mind, but with the spiritual man in the understanding part, within which, in the case of those who are spiritual, a new will is created, 863, 875, 895, 897, 927, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2256.

From good itself those who are celestial see things without limit, but those who are spiritual, because they reason whether a thing is so, cannot reach even the furthest limit to which the light that the celestial have spreads, 2718.

Compared with those who are celestial those who are spiritual dwell in obscurity, 1043, 2708, 2715.

The Lord came into the world to save those who are spiritual, 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.
