Бытие 29

Étudier

   

1 И всталъ Іаковъ, и пошелъ въ землю сыновъ востока.

2 И увидјлъ на полј колодезь, и три стада мелкаго скота, лежавшія около его, потому что изъ того колодезя поили стада. Надъ устьемъ колодезя былъ большой камень.

3 Когда собирались туда всј стада, отваливали камень отъ устья колодезя и поили овецъ; потомъ опять клали камень на свое мјсто, на устье колодезя.

4 Іаковъ сказалъ имъ: братіа мои! откуда вы? Они отвјчали: изъ Харрана.

5 Тогда онъ спросилъ ихъ: знаете ли Лавана, сына Нахорова? они отвјчали: зваемъ.

6 Онъ еще спросилъ: благополученъ ли онъ? они отвјчали: благополученъ; и вотъ, Рахиль, дочь его идетъ съ овцами.

7 Онъ сказалъ: вотъ дня еще много; не время собирать скотъ; напойте овецъ и подите, пасите.

8 Они отвјчали: не можемъ, пока не соберутся всј стада, и не отвалятъ камня отъ устья колодезя; тогда будемъ мы поить овецъ.

9 Еще, какъ онъ разговаривалъ съ ними, пришла Рахиль съ мелкимъ скотомъ отца своего, потому что она пасла.

10 Какъ скоро Іаковъ увидјлъ Рахиль, дочь Лавана, брата матери своей, и овецъ Лавана, брата матери своей: тотчасъ подошелъ Іаковъ, отвалилъ камень отъ устья колодезя, и далъ пить овцамъ Лавана, брата матери своей.

11 Потомъ Іаковъ поцјловалъ Рахили, и, поднявъ вопль, заплакалъ;

12 и сказалъ Іаковъ Рахили, что онъ родственникъ отцу ея, и что онъ сынъ Ревеккинъ. А она побјжала, и сказала отцу своему.

13 Лававъ услышавъ о Іаковј, сынј сестры своей, выбјжалъ ему на встрјчу, обнялъ его, и поцјловалъ его, и ввелъ его въ домъ свой; и онъ разсказалъ Лавану все сіе.

14 Лаванъ же сказалъ ему: подлинно ты кость моя и плоть моя. И жилъ у него Іаковъ цјлый мјсяцъ.

15 Потомъ Лаванъ сказалъ Іакову: неужели ты даромъ будешь работать на меня, потому что ты родственникъ? скажи мнј, что заплатить тебј?

16 У Лавана же были двј дочери, имя старшей: Лія, имя младшей: Рахиль.

17 Лія была больна глазами, а Рахиль была красива станомъ, и красива лицемъ.

18 Іаковъ полюбилъ Рахиль; и потому сказалъ: я буду тебј работать семь лјтъ за Рахиль, младшую дочь твою.

19 На сіе Лаванъ сказалъ: для меня лучше отдать ее за тебя, нежели отдать ее за другаго кого; живи у меня.

20 Такимъ образомъ Іаковъ работалъ за Рахиль семь лјтъ; и они показались ему за нјсколько дней, потому что онъ любилъ ее.

21 И сказалъ Іаковъ Лавану: дай жену мою; потому что мнј уже исполнилось время, чтобы мнј войдти къ ней.

22 Тогда Лаванъ созвалъ всјхъ людей того мјста, и сдјлалъ пиръ.

23 Вечеромъ же взялъ дочь свою Лію, и ввелъ ее къ нему; и онъ вошелъ къ ней.

24 И далъ Лаванъ служанку свою Зелфу въ служанки дочери своей Ліи.

25 Настало утро, и оказалось, что это Лія. Тогда Іаковъ сказалъ Лавану: что это ты сдјлалъ со мною? не за Рахиль ли я работалъ у тебя? зачјмъ ты обманулъ меня?

26 Но Лаванъ сказалъ: въ нашемъ мјстј такъ не дјлаютъ, чтобы младшую выдать прежде старшей;

27 окончи недјлю этой; потомъ дадимъ тебј и ту, за работу, которую ты будешь работать у меня еще семь лјтъ другихъ.

28 Іаковъ такъ и сдјлалъ, и окончилъ недјлю этой. Потомъ Лаванъ далъ Рахиль, дочь свою, ему въ жену.

29 И далъ Лаванъ служанку свою Валлу въ служанки дочери своей Рахили.

30 Іаковъ вошелъ и къ Рахили, и любилъ Рахиль больше, нежели Лію; и работалъ у него еще семь лјтъ другихъ.

31 Іегова узрјлъ, что Лія была нелюбима, и отверзъ утробу ея, а Рахиль была неплодна.

32 Лія зачала, и родила сына, и нарекла ему имя: Рувимъ; потому что, говорила она: Іегова призрјлъ на меня бјдную; теперь будетъ любить меня мужъ мой.

33 И зачала опять, и родила сына, и сказала: Іегова услышалъ, что я нелюбима, и даровалъ мнј еще сего; посему нарекла ему имя: Симеонъ.

34 И зачала еще, и родила сына, и сказала: теперь-то прилјпится ко мнј мужъ мой; ибо я родила ему трехъ сыновъ. Отъ сего наречено ему имя: Левій.

35 И еще зачала, и родила сына и сказала: теперь то я восхвалю Іегову. Посему нарекла ему имя Іуда. И перестала рождать.

Arcana Coelestia #3865

Étudier ce passage

3865. For now my man will love me. That this signifies that hence would come the good of truth, is evident from the signification of “will love,” as being the good therefrom; for all good is of love, and is therefore here signified by “loving;” and from the signification of “man,” as being truth (n. 3134). What the good of truth is, has often been explained above, namely, that it is the affection of truth for the sake of life; for life is the good which is regarded in the truth by those who are afterwards regenerated. Without a life according to truth, no conjunction of truth with good is effected, consequently no appropriation.

[2] Everyone can plainly see this by directing his attention to those who live ill, and to those who live well: they who live ill, even although like others they have been instructed during childhood and youth in the doctrines of the church, are nevertheless found on examination to believe nothing at all concerning the Lord, or concerning faith in Him and the truths of the church; whereas they who live well have everyone of them faith in the truths which they believe to be truths. They, however, who teach truths, as do the overseers of the church, and live ill, may indeed profess to believe, yet still at heart they do not believe.

[3] With some of these there is a persuasion which has the semblance of faith, amounting to no more than mere memory-knowledge confirmed, not because it is truth, but because it is expedient to make profession of it for the sake of one’s office, honor, and gain. This penetrates no deeper than through the ears into the memory, and from the memory it goes forth into the lips, but not into the heart, and from this into confession. From this it is evident that it is the life which shows the quality of the acknowledgment of truth; that is, the quality of the faith; and that it is faith separated from the good of life which declares that however a man lives he may nevertheless be saved through grace; and which argues against the doctrine that everyone’s life remains with him after death.

Genesis 29

Étudier

   

1 Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the children of the east.

2 He looked, and behold, a well in the field, and, behold, three flocks of sheep lying there by it. For out of that well they watered the flocks. The stone on the well's mouth was large.

3 There all the flocks were gathered. They rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the sheep, and put the stone again on the well's mouth in its place.

4 Jacob said to them, "My relatives, where are you from?" They said, "We are from Haran."

5 He said to them, "Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" They said, "We know him."

6 He said to them, "Is it well with him?" They said, "It is well. See, Rachel, his daughter, is coming with the sheep."

7 He said, "Behold, it is still the middle of the day, not time to gather the livestock together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them."

8 They said, "We can't, until all the flocks are gathered together, and they roll the stone from the well's mouth. Then we water the sheep."

9 While he was yet speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she kept them.

10 It happened, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob went near, and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.

11 Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice, and wept.

12 Jacob told Rachel that he was her father's brother, and that he was Rebekah's son. She ran and told her father.

13 It happened, when Laban heard the news of Jacob, his sister's son, that he ran to meet Jacob, and embraced him, and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things.

14 Laban said to him, "Surely you are my bone and my flesh." He lived with him for a month.

15 Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what will your wages be?"

16 Laban had two daughters. The name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

17 Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was beautiful in form and attractive.

18 Jacob loved Rachel. He said, "I will serve you seven years for Rachel, your younger daughter."

19 Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you, than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me."

20 Jacob served seven years for Rachel. They seemed to him but a few days, for the love he had for her.

21 Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her."

22 Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.

23 It happened in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him. He went in to her.

24 Laban gave Zilpah his handmaid to his daughter Leah for a handmaid.

25 It happened in the morning that, behold, it was Leah. He said to Laban, "What is this you have done to me? Didn't I serve with you for Rachel? Why then have you deceived me?"

26 Laban said, "It is not done so in our place, to give the younger before the firstborn.

27 Fulfill the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you will serve with me yet seven other years."

28 Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week. He gave him Rachel his daughter as wife.

29 Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah, his handmaid, to be her handmaid.

30 He went in also to Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

31 Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

32 Leah conceived, and bore a son, and she named him Reuben. For she said, "Because Yahweh has looked at my affliction. For now my husband will love me."

33 She conceived again, and bore a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

34 She conceived again, and bore a son. Said, "Now this time will my husband be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore was his name called Levi.

35 She conceived again, and bore a son. She said, "This time will I praise Yahweh." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
