Genesi 35

1 Iddio disse a Giacobbe: "Lèvati, vattene a Bethel, dimora quivi, e fa’ un altare all’Iddio che ti apparve, quando fuggivi dinanzi al tuo fratello Esaù".

2 Allora Giacobbe disse alla sua famiglia e a tutti quelli ch’erano con lui: "Togliete gli dèi stranieri che sono fra voi, purificatevi, e cambiatevi i vestiti;

3 e leviamoci, andiamo a Bethel, ed io farò quivi un altare all’Iddio che mi esaudì nel giorno della mia angoscia, e ch’è stato con me nel viaggio che ho fatto".

4 Ed essi dettero a Giacobbe tutti gli dei stranieri ch’erano nelle loro mani e gli anelli che avevano agli orecchi; e Giacobbe li nascose sotto la quercia ch’è presso a Sichem.

5 Poi si partirono; e un terrore mandato da Dio invase le città ch’erano intorno a loro; talché non inseguirono i figliuoli di Giacobbe.

6 Così Giacobbe giunse a Luz, cioè Bethel, ch’è nel paese di Canaan: egli con tutta la gente che avea seco;

7 ed edificò quivi un altare, e chiamò quel luogo El-Bethel, perché quivi Iddio gli era apparso, quando egli fuggiva dinanzi al suo fratello.

8 Allora morì Debora, balia di Rebecca, e fu sepolta al di sotto di Bethel, sotto la quercia, che fu chiamata Allon-Bacuth.

9 Iddio apparve ancora a Giacobbe, quando questi veniva da Paddan-Aram; e lo benedisse.

10 E Dio gli disse: "Il tuo nome è Giacobbe; tu non sarai più chiamato Giacobbe, ma il tuo nome sarà Israele". E gli mise nome Israele.

11 E Dio gli disse: "Io sono l’Iddio onnipotente; sii fecondo e moltiplica; una nazione, anzi una moltitudine di nazioni discenderà da te, e dei re usciranno dai tuoi lombi;

12 e darò a te e alla tua progenie dopo di te il paese che detti ad Abrahamo e ad Isacco".

13 E Dio risalì di presso a lui, dal luogo dove gli avea parlato.

14 E Giacobbe eresse un monumento di pietra nel luogo dove Iddio gli avea parlato; vi fece sopra una libazione e vi sparse su dell’olio.

15 E Giacobbe chiamò Bethel il luogo dove Dio gli avea parlato.

16 Poi partirono da Bethel; e c’era ancora qualche distanza per arrivare ad Efrata, quando Rachele partorì. Essa ebbe un duro parto;

17 e mentre penava a partorire, la levatrice le disse: "Non temere, perché eccoti un altro figliuolo".

18 E com’ella stava per rendere l’anima (perché morì), pose nome al bimbo Ben-Oni; ma il padre lo chiamò Beniamino.

19 E Rachele morì, e fu sepolta sulla via di Efrata; cioè di Bethlehem.

20 E Giacobbe eresse un monumento sulla tomba di lei. Questo è il monumento della tomba di Rachele, il quale esiste tuttora.

21 Poi Israele si partì, e piantò la sua tenda al di là di Migdal-Eder.

22 E avvenne che, mentre Israele abitava in quel paese, Ruben andò e si giacque con Bilha, concubina di suo padre. E Israele lo seppe.

23 Or i figliuoli di Giacobbe erano dodici. I figliuoli di Lea: Ruben, primogenito di Giacobbe, Simeone, Levi, Giuda, Issacar, Zabulon.

24 I figliuoli di Rachele: Giuseppe e Beniamino.

25 I figliuoli di Bilha, serva di Rachele: Dan e Neftali.

26 I figliuoli di Zilpa, serva di Lea: Gad e Ascer. Questi sono i figliuoli di Giacobbe che gli nacquero in Paddan-Aram.

27 E Giacobbe venne da Isacco suo padre a Mamre, a Kiriath-Arba, cioè Hebron, dove Abrahamo e Isacco aveano soggiornato.

28 E i giorni d’Isacco furono centottant’anni.

29 E Isacco spirò, morì, e fu raccolto presso il suo popolo, vecchio e sazio di giorni; ed Esaù e Giacobbe, suoi figliuoli, lo seppellirono.

377. Verses 7-8. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth animal saying, Come and see. And I saw, and behold a pale horse; and he that sat upon him his name was Death, and hell followed with him. And there was given unto them power over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with famine, and with death, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

7. "And when he had opened the fourth seal," signifies prediction still further manifested (n. 378); "I heard the voice of the fourth animal saying," signifies out of the inmost heaven from the Lord. n. 379); "Come and see," signifies attention and perception (n. 380).

8. "And I saw, and behold a pale horse," signifies the understanding of the Word then become nought in consequence of evils of life and then of falsities therefrom n. 381; "and he that sat upon him," signifies the Word (n. 382); "his name was Death, and hell followed with him," signifies eternal damnation (n. 383); "and there was given unto them power over the fourth part of the earth, to kill," signifies the loss of every good and thence of every truth from the Word, and in consequence, in the doctrine of their church from the Word n. 384; "with sword," signifies by falsity (n. 385); "and with famine," signifies by the loss, lack, and ignorance of the knowledges of truth and good (n. 386); "and with death," signifies the consequent extinction of spiritual life (n. 387); "and by the wild beasts of the earth," signifies the evils of life or lusts and falsities therefrom springing from the love of self and of the world, which devastate all things of the church with man n. 388.

Heaven and Hell#382

この節の研究

382. [a.] In the inmost heaven there is genuine marriage love because the angels there are in the marriage of good and truth, and also in innocence. The angels of the lower heavens are also in marriage love, but only so far as they are in innocence; for marriage love viewed in itself is a state of innocence; and this is why consorts who are in the marriage love enjoy heavenly delights together, which appear before their minds almost like the sports of innocence, as between little children; for everything delights their minds, since heaven with its joy flows into every particular of their lives. For the same reason marriage love is represented in heaven by the most beautiful objects. I have seen it represented by a maiden of indescribable beauty encompassed with a bright white cloud. It is said that the angels in heaven have all their beauty from marriage love. Affections and thought flowing from that love are represented by diamond-like auras with scintillations as if from carbuncles and rubies, which are attended by delights that affect the interiors of the mind. In a word, heaven itself is represented in marriage love, because heaven with the angels is the conjunction of good and truth, and it is this conjunction that makes marriage love.

382. [b.] Marriages in heaven differ from marriages on the earth in that the procreation of offspring is another purpose of marriages on the earth, but not of marriages in heaven, since in heaven the procreation of good and truth takes the place of procreation of offspring. The former takes the place of the latter because marriage in heaven is a marriage of good and truth (as has been shown above); and as in that marriage good and truth and their conjunction are loved above all things so these are what are propagated by marriages in heaven. And because of this, in the Word births and generations signify spiritual births and generations, which are births and generations of good and truth; mother and father signify truth conjoined to good, which is what procreates; sons and daughters signify the truths and goods that are procreated; and sons-in-law and daughters-in-law conjunction of these, and so on. 1 All this makes clear that marriages in heaven are not like marriages on earth. In heaven marryings are spiritual, and cannot properly be called marryings, but conjunctions of minds from the conjunction of good and truth. But on earth there are marryings, because these are not of the spirit alone but also of the flesh. And as there are no marryings in heaven, consorts there are not called husband and wife; but from the angelic idea of the joining of two minds into one, each consort designates the other by a name signifying one's own, mutually and reciprocally. This shows how the Lord's words in regard to marrying and giving in marriage (Luke 20:35, 36), are to be understood.

脚注:

1. [Swedenborg's footnote] Conceptions, pregnancies, births, and generations signify those that are spiritual, that is, such as pertain to good and truth, or to love and faith (Arcana Coelestia 613, 1145, 1255, 2020, 2584, 3860, 3868, 4070, 4668, 6239, 8042, 9325, 10249).

Therefore generation and birth signify regeneration and rebirth through faith and love (5160, 5598, 9042, 9845).

Mother signifies the church in respect to truth, and thus the truth of the church; father the church in respect to good, and thus the good of the church (2691, 2717, 3703, 5581, 8897).

Sons signify affections for truth, and thus truths (489, 491, 533, 2623, 3373, 4257, 8649, 9807).

Daughters signify affections for good, and the goods (489-491, 2362, 3963, 6729, 6775, 6778, 9055).

Son-in-law signifies truth associated with affection for good (2389).

Daughter-in-law signifies good associated with its truth (4843).
