1 ויסף אברהם ויקח אשה ושמה קטורה׃

2 ותלד לו את־זמרן ואת־יקשן ואת־מדן ואת־מדין ואת־ישבק ואת־שוח׃

3 ויקשן ילד את־שבא ואת־דדן ובני דדן היו אשורם ולטושים ולאמים׃

4 ובני מדין עיפה ועפר וחנך ואבידע ואלדעה כל־אלה בני קטורה׃

5 ויתן אברהם את־כל־אשר־לו ליצחק׃

6 ולבני הפילגשים אשר לאברהם נתן אברהם מתנת וישלחם מעל יצחק בנו בעודנו חי קדמה אל־ארץ קדם׃

7 ואלה ימי שני־חיי אברהם אשר־חי מאת שנה ושבעים שנה וחמש שנים׃

8 ויגוע וימת אברהם בשיבה טובה זקן ושבע ויאסף אל־עמיו׃

9 ויקברו אתו יצחק וישמעאל בניו אל־מערת המכפלה אל־שדה עפרן בן־צחר החתי אשר על־פני ממרא׃

10 השדה אשר־קנה אברהם מאת בני־חת שמה קבר אברהם ושרה אשתו׃

11 ויהי אחרי מות אברהם ויברך אלהים את־יצחק בנו וישב יצחק עם־באר לחי ראי׃ ס

12 ואלה תלדת ישמעאל בן־אברהם אשר ילדה הגר המצרית שפחת שרה לאברהם׃

13 ואלה שמות בני ישמעאל בשמתם לתולדתם בכר ישמעאל נבית וקדר ואדבאל ומבשם׃

14 ומשמע ודומה ומשא׃

15 חדד ותימא יטור נפיש וקדמה׃

16 אלה הם בני ישמעאל ואלה שמתם בחצריהם ובטירתם שנים־עשר נשיאם לאמתם׃

17 ואלה שני חיי ישמעאל מאת שנה ושלשים שנה ושבע שנים ויגוע וימת ויאסף אל־עמיו׃

18 וישכנו מחוילה עד־שור אשר על־פני מצרים באכה אשורה על־פני כל־אחיו נפל׃ ף

19 ואלה תולדת יצחק בן־אברהם אברהם הוליד את־יצחק׃

20 ויהי יצחק בן־ארבעים שנה בקחתו את־רבקה בת־בתואל הארמי מפדן ארם אחות לבן הארמי לו לאשה׃

21 ויעתר יצחק ליהוה לנכח אשתו כי עקרה הוא ויעתר לו יהוה ותהר רבקה אשתו׃

22 ויתרצצו הבנים בקרבה ותאמר אם־כן למה זה אנכי ותלך לדרש את־יהוה׃

23 ויאמר יהוה לה שני [כ= גיים] [ק= גוים] בבטנך ושני לאמים ממעיך יפרדו ולאם מלאם יאמץ ורב יעבד צעיר׃

24 וימלאו ימיה ללדת והנה תוםם בבטנה׃

25 ויצא הראשון אדמוני כלו כאדרת שער ויקראו שמו עשו׃

26 ואחרי־כן יצא אחיו וידו אחזת בעקב עשו ויקרא שמו יעקב ויצחק בן־ששים שנה בלדת אתם׃

27 ויגדלו הנערים ויהי עשו איש ידע ציד איש שדה ויעקב איש תם ישב אהלים׃

28 ויאהב יצחק את־עשו כי־ציד בפיו ורבקה אהבת את־יעקב׃

29 ויזד יעקב נזיד ויבא עשו מן־השדה והוא עיף׃

30 ויאמר עשו אל־יעקב הלעיטני נא מן־האדם האדם הזה כי עיף אנכי על־כן קרא־שמו אדום׃

31 ויאמר יעקב מכרה כיום את־בכרתך לי׃

32 ויאמר עשו הנה אנכי הולך למות ולמה־זה לי בכרה׃

33 ויאמר יעקב השבעה לי כיומ* וישבע לו וימכר את־בכרתו ליעקב׃

34 ויעקב נתן לעשו לחם ונזיד עדשים ויאכל וישת ויקם וילך ויבז עשו את־הבכרה׃ ס

3249. Eastward to the land of the east. That this signifies to the good of faith, is evident from the signification of “the east” and the “land of the east,” which will be treated of in what follows. The good of faith which is signified by the “land of the east,” is no other than that which in the Word is called charity toward the neighbor; and charity toward the neighbor is nothing else than a life according to the Lord’s commandments. That this is signified by the “land of the east” may be seen above (n. 1250); therefore they who were in the knowledges of the good of faith were called “sons of the east.” The land of the sons of the east was Aram of Syria. (That Aram or Syria represents the knowledges of good, may be seen above, n. 1232, 1234; and that Aram Naharaim, or Syria of the rivers, represents the knowledges of truth, n. 3051.) And as by the “Syrians” or “sons of the east” were signified those who were in the knowledges of good and truth, they were preeminently called the “wise,” as in the first book of Kings, where it is said of Solomon:

The wisdom of Solomon was multiplied above the wisdom of all the sons of the east (1 Kings 4:30);

and as in Matthew, where it is said of those who came to Jesus when He was born:

Wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, Where is He that is born king of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him (Matthew 2:1-2).

For in Syria were the last remains of the Ancient Church, and therefore in that land there still remained the knowledges of good and truth, as can also be seen from Balaam, who not only adored Jehovah, but also prophesied concerning the Lord, and called Him the “Star out of Jacob, and the Scepter out of Israel” (Numbers 24:17). That Balaam was of the sons of the east in Syria is manifest, for he says this of himself when he utters the declaration:

From Syria hath Balak brought me, the king of Moab, from the mountains of the east (Numbers 33:7).

That it was Aram or Syria where the sons of the east dwelt, is evident from the fact that when Jacob went into Syria he is said to have gone “to the land of the sons of the east” (Genesis 29:1).

Matthew 1

Studija

1 The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

2 Abraham became the father of Isaac. Isaac became the father of Jacob. Jacob became the father of Judah and his brothers.

3 Judah became the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar. Perez became the father of Hezron. Hezron became the father of Ram.

4 Ram became the father of Amminadab. Amminadab became the father of Nahshon. Nahshon became the father of Salmon.

5 Salmon became the father of Boaz by Rahab. Boaz became the father of Obed by Ruth. Obed became the father of Jesse.

6 Jesse became the father of King David. David became the father of Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah.

7 Solomon became the father of Rehoboam. Rehoboam became the father of Abijah. Abijah became the father of Asa.

8 Asa became the father of Jehoshaphat. Jehoshaphat became the father of Joram. Joram became the father of Uzziah.

9 Uzziah became the father of Jotham. Jotham became the father of Ahaz. Ahaz became the father of Hezekiah.

10 Hezekiah became the father of Manasseh. Manasseh became the father of Amon. Amon became the father of Josiah.

11 Josiah became the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the exile to Babylon.

12 After the exile to Babylon, Jechoniah became the father of Shealtiel. Shealtiel became the father of Zerubbabel.

13 Zerubbabel became the father of Abiud. Abiud became the father of Eliakim. Eliakim became the father of Azor.

14 Azor became the father of Sadoc. Sadoc became the father of Achim. Achim became the father of Eliud.

15 Eliud became the father of Eleazar. Eleazar became the father of Matthan. Matthan became the father of Jacob.

16 Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary, from whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the exile to Babylon fourteen generations; and from the carrying away to Babylon to the Christ, fourteen generations.

18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was like this; for after his mother, Mary, was engaged to Joseph, before they came together, she was found pregnant by the Holy Spirit.

19 Joseph, her husband, being a righteous man, and not willing to make her a public example, intended to put her away secretly.

20 But when he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, don't be afraid to take to yourself Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.

21 She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who shall save his people from their sins."

22 Now all this has happened, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying,

23 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son. They shall call his name Immanuel;" which is, being interpreted, "God with us."

24 Joseph arose from his sleep, and did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and took his wife to himself;

25 and didn't know her sexually until she had brought forth her firstborn son. He named him Jesus.
