Genesis 28

勉強

   

1 En Izak riep Jakob, en zegende hem; en gebood hem, en zeide tot hem: Neem geen vrouw van de dochteren van Kanaan.

2 Maak u op, ga naar Paddan-Aram, ten huize van Bethuel, den vader uwer moeder, en neem u van daar een vrouw, van de dochteren van Laban, uwer moeders broeder.

3 En God almachtig zegene u, en make u vruchtbaar, en vermenigvuldige u, dat gij tot een hoop volken wordt.

4 En Hij geve u den zegen van Abraham; aan u, en uw zaad met u, opdat gij erfelijk bezit het land uwer vreemdelingschappen, hetwelk God aan Abraham gegeven heeft.

5 Alzo zond Izak Jakob weg, dat hij toog naar Paddan-Aram, tot Laban, den zoon van Bethuel, den Syrier, den broeder van Rebekka, Jakobs en Ezau's moeder.

6 Als nu Ezau zag, dat Izak Jakob gezegend, en hem naar Paddan-Aram weggezonden had om zich van daar een vrouw te nemen; en als hij hem zegende, dat hij hem geboden had, zeggende: Neem geen vrouw van de dochteren van Kanaan;

7 En dat Jakob zijn vader en zijn moeder gehoorzaam geweest was, en naar Paddan-Aram getrokken was;

8 En dat Ezau zag, dat de dochteren van Kanaan kwaad waren in de ogen van Izak, zijn vader;

9 Zo ging Ezau tot Ismael, en nam zich tot een vrouw boven zijn vrouwen, Mahalath, de dochter van Ismael, den zoon van Abraham, de zuster van Nebajoth.

10 Jakob dan toog uit van Ber-seba, en ging naar Haran.

11 En hij geraakte op een plaats, waar hij vernachtte; want de zon was ondergegaan; en hij nam van de stenen dier plaats, en maakte zijn hoofdpeluw, en legde zich te slapen te dierzelver plaats.

12 En hij droomde; en ziet, een ladder was gesteld op de aarde, welker opperste aan de hemel raakte; en ziet, de engelen Gods klommen daarbij op en neder.

13 En ziet, de HEERE stond op dezelve en zeide: Ik ben de HEERE, de God van uw vader Abraham, en de God van Izak; dit land, waarop gij ligt te slapen, zal Ik aan u geven, en aan uw zaad.

14 En uw zaad zal wezen als het stof der aarde, en gij zult uitbreken in menigte, westwaarts en oostwaarts, en noordwaarts en zuidwaarts; en in u, en in uw zaad zullen alle geslachten des aardbodems gezegend worden.

15 En zie, Ik ben met u, en Ik zal u behoeden overal, waarheen gij trekken zult, en Ik zal u wederbrengen in dit land; want Ik zal u niet verlaten, totdat Ik zal gedaan hebben, hetgeen Ik tot u gesproken heb.

16 Toen nu Jakob van zijn slaap ontwaakte, zeide hij: Gewisselijk is de HEERE aan deze plaats, en ik heb het niet geweten!

17 En hij vreesde, en zeide: Hoe vreselijk is deze plaats! Dit is niet dan een huis Gods, en dit is de poort des hemels!

18 Toen stond Jakob des morgens vroeg op, en hij nam dien steen, dien hij tot zijn hoofdpeluw gelegd had, en zette hem tot een opgericht teken, en goot daar olie boven op.

19 En hij noemde den naam dier plaats Beth-El; daar toch de naam dier stad te voren was Luz.

20 En Jakob beloofde een gelofte, zeggende: Wanneer God met mij geweest zal zijn, en mij behoed zal hebben op dezen weg, dien ik reize, en mij gegeven zal hebben brood om te eten, en klederen om aan te trekken;

21 En ik ten huize mijns vaders in vrede zal wedergekeerd zijn; zo zal de HEERE mij tot een God zijn!

22 En deze steen, dien ik tot een opgericht teken gezet heb, zal een huis Gods wezen, en van alles, wat Gij mij geven zult, zal ik U voorzeker de tienden geven!

3740. 'And of all that You give me I will surely give You a tenth' means that by His own Divine power He made every single thing Divine. This is clear from the meaning of 'giving' when used in reference to the Lord as the fact that He gave to Himself, dealt with in 3705 (end), and so by His own power; and from the meaning of 'giving a tenth' and of 'tenths' as goods and truths which are stored away by the Lord in a person within the interior parts of him, which goods are called remnants, dealt with in 576, 1738, 2280. With reference to the Lord, Divine Goods and Divine Truths are meant, which the Lord acquired to Himself by His own power, see 1738, 1906.

1906. 'After Abram had been dwelling ten years in the land of Canaan' means the remnants of good and of truth deriving from that good which the Lord acquired to Himself and by means of which this rational was conceived. This is clear from the meaning of 'ten' as remnants, dealt with already in 576. What remnants are has been stated and shown in 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 661, 798, 1050; that is to say, they are all the states of affection for good and truth conferred by the Lord on a person from earliest childhood right through to life's end. These states are stored away within him for the use of his life after death, for in the next life all the states of his life return one after another and at that time they undergo modification through the states of good and truth which the Lord has conferred on him. The more remnants he acquires therefore during his lifetime, or the more good and truth he acquires, the happier and more beautiful the rest of his states seem to be when they actually return. The truth of this may become clear to anyone if he gives the matter careful consideration. At birth no one of himself possesses any good at all, but is wholly defiled with hereditary evil. Everything good flows in, such as his love for parents, nursemaids, and playmates, this influx being from innocence. These are the gifts which flow in from the Lord through the heaven of innocence and peace, which is the inmost heaven, and this is the manner in which they are imparted to him during early childhood.

[2] Later on, when he grows up, this good, innocent, and peaceful state of early childhood departs from him little by little; and insofar as he is introduced into the world, he enters into its pleasures and delights, and so into evils, and the heavenly things or the goods of early childhood start to be dispersed. Yet they still remain, it being by means of these that the states are moderated which a person takes to himself and acquires later on. Without them he cannot possibly be truly human, for states in which evil desires or any evils occur, if not moderated by means of states in which the affection for good is present, would be more dreadful than those of any animal. Those states of good are what are called remnants, which are conferred by the Lord and implanted in a person's natural disposition, this being done when the person is not aware of it.

[3] In later life he has further new states conferred on him; but these are not so much states of good as of truth, for as he grows up he has truths bestowed on him, and these in a similar way are stored away within his interior man. By means of these remnants, which are those of truth, and which have been born from the influx of spiritual things from the Lord, a person has the ability to think, and also to understand what the good and truth of civil or public life and moral or private life are, and also to receive spiritual truth, that is, the truth of faith. Yet he has no ability to do these things except by means of the remnants of good which he received in early childhood. Of the existence of remnants, and the fact that they are stored away in man in his interior rational, man is completely unaware. That unawareness is due to thinking that nothing flows in but that everything is innate within him, and thus present within him when he is an infant, though the reality is altogether different from that. Remnants are referred to in various places in the Word, and by them are meant those states by which a person becomes human, and this from the Lord alone.

[4] The remnants which resided with the Lord however were all the Divine states which He acquired to Himself and by means of which He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence. These are in no way comparable with the remnants that reside with man, for the latter are not Divine but human. The remnants the Lord had are what is meant by the ten years Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan. When angels hear the Word they have no knowledge of what 'ten' is; but the moment ten is mentioned by man the idea of remnants comes to them, for 'ten' and 'tenths' in the Word mean remnants, as is clear from what has been stated and shown in 576, 1738. And when they perceive that 'Abram had been dwelling ten years in the land of Canaan' the idea of the Lord comes to them, and with it simultaneously countless things meant by the remnants residing with the Lord when He was in the world.
