创世记 25

勉強

   

1 亚伯拉罕又娶了一妻，名叫基土拉。

2 基土拉给他生了心兰、约珊、米但、米甸、伊施巴，和书亚。

3 约珊生了示巴和底但。底但的子孙是亚书利族、利都是族，和利乌米族。

4 米甸的儿子是以法、以弗、哈诺、亚比大，和以勒大。这都是基土拉的子孙。

5 亚伯拉罕将一切所有的都给了以撒。

6 亚伯拉罕把财物分给他庶出的众子，趁着自己还在世的时候打发他们离开他的儿子以撒，往东方去。

7 亚伯拉罕一生的年日是一百七十五岁。

8 亚伯拉罕寿高年迈，气绝而死，归到他列祖(原文作本民)那里。

9 他两个儿子以撒、以实玛利把他埋葬在麦比拉洞里。这洞在幔利前、赫人琐辖的儿子以弗仑的田中，

10 就是亚伯拉罕向赫人买的那块田。亚伯拉罕和他妻子撒拉都葬在那里。

11 亚伯拉罕死了以後，神赐福给他的儿子以撒。以撒靠近庇耳拉海莱居住。

12 撒拉的使女埃及人夏甲给亚伯拉罕所生的儿子是以实玛利。

13 以实玛利儿子们的名字，按着他们的家谱记在下面。以实玛利的长子是尼拜约，又有基达、亚德别、米比衫、

14 米施玛、度玛、玛撒、

15 哈大、提玛、伊突、拿非施、基底玛。

16 这是以实玛利众子的名字，照着他们的村庄、营寨，作了十二族的族长。

17 以实玛利享寿一百三十七岁，气绝而死，归到他列祖(原文作本民)那里。

18 他子孙的住处在他众弟兄东边，从哈腓拉直到埃及前的书珥，正在亚述的道上。

19 亚伯拉罕的儿子以撒的後代记在下面。亚伯拉罕生以撒。

20 以撒娶利百加为妻的时候正四十岁。利百加是巴旦亚兰地的亚兰人彼土利的女儿，是亚兰人拉班的妹子。

21 以撒因他妻子不生育，就为他祈求耶和华；耶和华应允他的祈求，他的妻子利百加就怀了孕。

22 孩子们在他腹中彼此相争，他就说：若是这样，我为甚麽活着呢(或作我为甚麽如此呢)？他就去求问耶和华。

23 耶和华对他说：两国在你腹内；两族要从你身上出来。这族必强於那族；将来大的要服事小的。

24 生产的日子到了，腹中果然是双子。

25 先产的身体发红，浑身有毛，如同皮衣，他们就给他起名叫以扫(就是有毛的意思)。

26 随後又生了以扫的兄弟，手抓住以扫的脚跟，因此给他起名叫雅各(就是抓住的意思)。利百加生下两个儿子的时候，以撒年正六十岁。

27 两个孩子渐渐长大，以扫善於打猎，常在田野；雅各为人安静，常住在帐棚里。

28 以撒爱以扫，因为常吃他的野味；利百加却爱雅各。

29 有一天，雅各熬汤，以扫从田野回来累昏了。

30 以扫对雅各说：我累昏了，求你把这红汤给我喝。因此以扫又叫以东(就是红的意思)。

31 雅各说：你今日把长子的名分卖给我罢。

32 以扫说：我将要死，这长子的名分於我有甚麽益处呢？

33 雅各说：你今日对我起誓罢。以扫就对他起了誓，把长子的名分卖给雅各。

34 於是雅各将饼和红豆汤给了以扫，以扫吃了喝了，便起来走了。这就是以扫轻看了他长子的名分。

Arcana Coelestia＃3300

この節の研究

3300. 'And the first came out, ruddy all over, like a hairy garment' 1 means good constituting the life of natural truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming out' as being born, from the meaning of 'ruddy' as good constituting the life, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'a hairy garment' as the truth of the natural, also dealt with below. His being 'the first' means that in essence good is prior, as stated above in 3299. It is also called 'a hairy garment' so as to mean that good was clothed with truth as in a thin casing or body, as also stated above in 3299. In the Word 'a tunic' means nothing else in the internal sense than something that clothes another thing, and that also is why truths are compared to garments, 1073, 2576.

[2] The reason why 'ruddy' or 'red' means good constituting the life is that all good flows from love, and love itself is celestial and spiritual fire. Love is also compared to and actually called fire, see 933-936, as well as being compared to and actually called blood, 1001. Because both fire and blood are red, good that flows from love is meant by 'ruddy' and 'red', as may also be seen from the following places in the Word: In the prophecy of Jacob, who by then was Israel,

He will wash his clothing in wine and his garment in the blood of grapes. His eyes will be redder than wine, and his teeth whiter than milk. Genesis 49:11-12.

This refers to Judah, who is used here to mean the Lord, as may be clear to anyone. 'Clothing' here and 'garment' are the Lord's Divine Natural. 'wine' and 'the blood of grapes' are the Divine Good and Divine Truth of the Natural - Divine Good being spoken of as 'eyes redder than wine', and Divine Truth as 'teeth whiter than milk'. It is the joining together of good and truth within the Natural that is described in this fashion.

[3] In Isaiah,

Who is this who is coming from Edom, red as to his clothing, and his clothes like his that treads in the winepress? Isaiah 63:1-2.

Here 'Edom' stands for the Divine Good of the Lord's Divine Natural, as will be evident later on. 'Red as to clothing' is the good of truth, and 'clothes like his that treads in the winepress' the truth of good. In Jeremiah,

Her Nazirites were brighter than snow, they were whiter than milk. They were ruddier in body 2 than rubies, polished like sapphire. 3 Lamentations 4:7.

'Nazirites' represented the Lord's Divine Human, in particular the Divine Natural, and so the good of the latter was represented by their being 'ruddier in body than rubies'.

[4] Because 'red' meant good, in particular the good of the natural, the Jewish Church - in which every single thing was representative of the Lord, and from this of His kingdom, and consequently of good and truth which are the source of the Lord's kingdom - was therefore commanded to have a covering for the tabernacle of red-rams' skins, Exodus 25:5; 26:14; 35:5-7, 23; 36:19. That Church was also commanded to prepare the water for making atonement from the ashes of the red heifer that had been burnt, Numbers 19:2 and following verses. Unless the colour red had been a sign of something heavenly in the Lord's kingdom, it would never have been commanded that the rams should be red and that the heifer should be red. The fact that they represented sacred things anyone acknowledges who considers the Word to be sacred. Because the colour red had that meaning, therefore also the coverings of the Tabernacle were interwoven with, and had loops made of, scarlet, purple, and violet yarn, Exodus 35:6.

[5] Seeing that almost everything also has a contrary sense, as often stated, so too has 'red'. In the contrary sense 'red' means evil that is the outcome of self-love, the reasons for this being that the desires belonging to self-love are compared to and actually called fire, 934 (end), 1297, 1527, 1528, 1861, 2446, and are likewise compared to and actually called blood, 374, 954, 1005. Consequently 'red' in the contrary sense means those things, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah said, Though your sins are like scarlet, they will be white as snow. Though they are red as crimson, 4 they will be as wool. Isaiah 1:18.

In Nahum,

The shields of the mighty men of Belial have been made red, the mighty men are in crimson!; enveloped in the fire of torches are the chariots on the day [of preparation]. Nahum 2:3.

In John,

Another sign appeared in heaven, Behold, a great fiery-red dragon having seven heads, and on his heads seven jewels. Revelation 12:3.

In the same book,

I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; to him a crown was given; he went out conquering and to conquer. Then there came out another horse, fiery-red; and he who sat on the horse was permitted to take peace away from the earth, and so that men would slay one another. Therefore to him was given a great sword. After that a black horse came out, and at length a pale horse, whose name is death. Revelation 6:2-8.

8 but everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the holy thing of Yahweh, and that soul shall be cut off from his people.

9 "'When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.

23 "'When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as forbidden. Three years shall they be forbidden to you. It shall not be eaten.
