Postanak 26

Studija

   

1 Ali nasta glad u zemlji svrh prve gladi koja beše za vremena Avramovog; i Isak otide k Avimelehu caru filistejskom u Gerar.

2 I javi mu se Gospod i reče: Nemoj ići u Misir, nego sedi u zemlji koju ću ti kazati.

3 Sedi u toj zemlji, i ja ću biti s tobom, i blagosloviću te; jer ću tebi i semenu tvom dati sve ove zemlje, i potvrdiću zakletvu, kojom sam se zakleo Avramu ocu tvom.

4 I umnožiću seme tvoje da ga bude kao zvezda na nebu, i daću semenu tvom sve ove zemlje; i u semenu tvom blagosloviće se svi narodi na zemlji,

5 Zato što je Avram slušao glas moj i čuvao naredbu moju, zapovesti moje i pravila moja i zakone moje.

6 I osta Isak u Geraru.

7 A ljudi u mestu onom pitahu za ženu njegovu, a on govoraše: Sestra mi je. Jer se bojaše kazati: Žena mi je; da me, veli, ne ubiju ovi ljudi radi Reveke, jer je lepa.

8 I kad provede mnogo vremena onde, dogodi se, te pogleda Avimeleh car filistejski s prozora, i vide Isaka gde se šali s Revekom ženom svojom.

9 I dozva Avimeleh Isaka i reče: Ta to ti je žena; kako si kazao: Sestra mi je? A Isak mu odgovori: Rekoh: da ne poginem s nje.

10 A Avimeleh reče: Šta si nam učinio? Lako je mogao ko od naroda ovog leći s tvojom ženom, te bi nas ti uvalio u greh.

11 I zapovedi Avimeleh svemu narodu svom govoreći: Ko se dotakne ovog čoveka ili žene njegove, poginuće.

12 I Isak stade sejati u onoj zemlji, i dobi one godine po sto, tako ga blagoslovi Gospod.

13 I obogati se čovek, i napredovaše sve većma, te posta silan.

14 I imaše ovaca i goveda i mnogo sluga; a Filisteji mu zaviđahu,

15 Pa sve studence koje behu iskopale sluge oca njegovog za vremena Avrama oca njegovog zaroniše Filisteji, i zasuše ih zemljom.

16 I Avimeleh reče Isaku: Idi od nas, jer si postao silniji od nas.

17 I Isak otide odande, i razape šatore u dolini gerarskoj, i nastani se onde.

18 I stade Isak otkopavati studence, koji behu iskopani za vremena Avrama oca njegovog, i koje zaroniše Filisteji po smrti Avramovoj; i prozva ih imenima koja im beše nadeo otac njegov.

19 I kopajući sluge Isakove u onom dolu nađoše studenac žive vode.

20 Ali se svađaše pastiri gerarski s pastirima Isakovim govoreći: Naša je voda. I nadede ime onom studencu Esek, jer se svadiše s njim.

21 Posle iskopaše drugi studenac, pa se i oko njega svađaše, zato ga nazva Sitna.

22 Tada se podiže odande, i iskopa drugi studenac, i oko njega ne bi svađe; zato ga nazva Rehovot, govoreći: Sad nam dade Gospod prostora da rastemo u ovoj zemlji.

23 I otide odande gore u Virsaveju.

24 I istu noćjavi mu se Gospod, i reče: Ja sam Bog Avrama oca tvog. Ne boj se, jer sam ja s tobom, i blagosloviću te i umnožiću seme tvoje Avrama radi sluge svog.

25 I načini onde žrtvenik, i prizva ime Gospodnje; i onde razape šator svoj; i sluge Isakove iskopaše onde studenac.

26 I dođe k njemu Avimeleh iz Gerara s Ohozatom prijateljem svojim i s Fiholom vojvodom svojim.

27 A Isak im reče: Što ste došli k meni, kad mrzite na me i oteraste me od sebe?

28 A oni rekoše: Videsmo zaista da je Gospod s tobom, pa rekosmo: Neka bude zakletva između nas, između nas i tebe; hajde da uhvatimo veru s tobom;

29 Da nam ne činiš zla, kao što se mi tebe ne dotakosmo i kao što mi tebi samo dobro činismo, i pustismo te da ideš na miru, i eto si blagosloven od Gospoda.

30 Tada ih on ugosti; te jedoše i piše.

31 A sutradan ustavši rano, zakleše se jedan drugom, i otpusti ih Isak i otidoše od njega s mirom.

32 Isti dan došavši sluge Isakove kazaše mu za studenac koji iskopaše, i rekoše mu: Nađosmo vodu.

33 I nazva ga Saveja; otuda se zove grad onaj Virsaveja do današnjeg dana.

34 A kad bi Isavu četrdeset godina, uze za ženu Juditu, kćer Veoha Hetejina, i Vasematu kćer Elona Hetejina.

35 I one zadavahu mnogo jada Isaku i Reveci.

3443. And called upon the name of Jehovah. That this signifies worship thence, is evident from the signification of “calling on the name of Jehovah,” as being worship (n. 440, 2724); and that the “name of Jehovah” is everything in one complex whereby the Lord is worshiped (n. 2628, 2724, 3006).

2724. And called there on the name of the God of eternity. That this signifies worship therefrom, is evident from the signification of “calling upon the name of God,” as being worship (see n. 440). They who were of the Ancient Church did not by a name understand the name, but all the quality (see n. 144-145, 440, 768, 1754, 1896, 2009); and thus by the “name of God” all that in one complex by which God was worshiped, consequently everything of love and faith; but when the internal of worship perished, and only the external remained, they then began to understand by the name of God nothing else than the name, so much so that they worshiped the name itself, feeling no care about the love and the faith from which they worshiped. On this account the nations began to distinguish themselves by the names of their gods; and the Jews and Israelites set themselves up above the rest, because they worshiped Jehovah, placing the essential of worship in uttering the name and invoking it, when in truth the worship of a name only is no worship, and may also be found among the worst of men, who thereby profane the more.

[2] But as by the “name of God” everything of worship is signified, that is, everything of love and faith from which He is worshiped, it is therefore evident what is meant by “hallowed be Thy Name,” in the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6:9); also by what the Lord said:

Ye shall be hated for My name’s sake (Matthew 10:22).

If two shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in the heavens; for where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them (Matthew 18:19-20).

Everyone that hath left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life (Matthew 19:29).

Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord (Matthew 21:9).

Jesus said, Ye shall not see Me henceforth till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord (Matthew 23:39).

Ye shall be hated of all nations for My name’s sake; and then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another (Matthew 24:9-10).

As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, to them that believe on His name (John 1:12).

He that believeth not is judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18).

Jesus said, Whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do (John 14:14-15; 15:16; 16:23-24, 26-27).

Jesus said, I have manifested Thy name unto the men (John 17:6).

Holy Father, keep them in Thy name whom Thou hast given Me, that they may be one, as We are (John 17:11-12).

I have made known unto them Thy name, and will make it known; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them (John 17:26).

That ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in His name (John 20:31).

Besides very many passages in the Old Testament, in which by the “name” of Jehovah and of God the name is not meant, but everything of love and faith from which is worship.

[3] But they who worship a name only, without love and faith, are thus spoken of in Matthew:

Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied by Thy name, and by Thy name have cast out demons, and in Thy name done many mighty works? But I will confess unto them, I know you not; depart from Me ye that work iniquity (Matthew 7:22-23).

When as before said the men of the church became external, from being internal, and began to place worship in a name alone, they then no longer acknowledged one God, but many. For it was a common thing for the ancients to add something to the name of Jehovah, and thereby call to mind some benefit or attribute of His, as in the passage before us, “he called upon the name of the God of eternity;” and in the following chapter (22), “Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah-jireh,” that is, “Jehovah shall see” (verse 14). “Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah-nissi,” that is, “Jehovah my banner” (Exodus 17:15); “Gideon built an altar there unto Jehovah, and called it Jehovah-shalom” that is, “Jehovah of peace” (Judges 6:24); besides other places. From this it came to pass that they who placed worship in a name only, acknowledged so many gods; and also that among the Gentiles, especially in Greece and at Rome, so many gods were acknowledged and worshiped; whereas the Ancient Church, from which the epithets emanated, never worshiped but one God, reverenced under so many names, because by the “name” they understood the quality.
