1 ιδουσα δε ραχηλ οτι ου τετοκεν τω ιακωβ και εζηλωσεν ραχηλ την αδελφην αυτης και ειπεν τω ιακωβ δος μοι τεκνα ει δε μη τελευτησω εγω

2 εθυμωθη δε ιακωβ τη ραχηλ και ειπεν αυτη μη αντι θεου εγω ειμι ος εστερησεν σε καρπον κοιλιας

3 ειπεν δε ραχηλ τω ιακωβ ιδου η παιδισκη μου βαλλα εισελθε προς αυτην και τεξεται επι των γονατων μου και τεκνοποιησομαι καγω εξ αυτης

4 και εδωκεν αυτω βαλλαν την παιδισκην αυτης αυτω γυναικα εισηλθεν δε προς αυτην ιακωβ

5 και συνελαβεν βαλλα η παιδισκη ραχηλ και ετεκεν τω ιακωβ υιον

6 και ειπεν ραχηλ εκρινεν μοι ο θεος και επηκουσεν της φωνης μου και εδωκεν μοι υιον δια τουτο εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου δαν

7 και συνελαβεν ετι βαλλα η παιδισκη ραχηλ και ετεκεν υιον δευτερον τω ιακωβ

8 και ειπεν ραχηλ συνελαβετο μοι ο θεος και συνανεστραφην τη αδελφη μου και ηδυνασθην και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου νεφθαλι

9 ειδεν δε λεια οτι εστη του τικτειν και ελαβεν ζελφαν την παιδισκην αυτης και εδωκεν αυτην τω ιακωβ γυναικα

10 εισηλθεν δε προς αυτην ιακωβ και συνελαβεν ζελφα η παιδισκη λειας και ετεκεν τω ιακωβ υιον

11 και ειπεν λεια εν τυχη και επωνομασεν το ονομα αυτου γαδ

12 και συνελαβεν ζελφα η παιδισκη λειας και ετεκεν ετι τω ιακωβ υιον δευτερον

13 και ειπεν λεια μακαρια εγω οτι μακαριζουσιν με αι γυναικες και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ασηρ

14 επορευθη δε ρουβην εν ημεραις θερισμου πυρων και ευρεν μηλα μανδραγορου εν τω αγρω και ηνεγκεν αυτα προς λειαν την μητερα αυτου ειπεν δε ραχηλ τη λεια δος μοι των μανδραγορων του υιου σου

15 ειπεν δε λεια ουχ ικανον σοι οτι ελαβες τον ανδρα μου μη και τους μανδραγορας του υιου μου λημψη ειπεν δε ραχηλ ουχ ουτως κοιμηθητω μετα σου την νυκτα ταυτην αντι των μανδραγορων του υιου σου

16 εισηλθεν δε ιακωβ εξ αγρου εσπερας και εξηλθεν λεια εις συναντησιν αυτω και ειπεν προς με εισελευση σημερον μεμισθωμαι γαρ σε αντι των μανδραγορων του υιου μου και εκοιμηθη μετ' αυτης την νυκτα εκεινην

17 και επηκουσεν ο θεος λειας και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν τω ιακωβ υιον πεμπτον

18 και ειπεν λεια εδωκεν ο θεος τον μισθον μου ανθ' ου εδωκα την παιδισκην μου τω ανδρι μου και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ισσαχαρ ο εστιν μισθος

19 και συνελαβεν ετι λεια και ετεκεν υιον εκτον τω ιακωβ

20 και ειπεν λεια δεδωρηται μοι ο θεος δωρον καλον εν τω νυν καιρω αιρετιει με ο ανηρ μου ετεκον γαρ αυτω υιους εξ και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ζαβουλων

21 και μετα τουτο ετεκεν θυγατερα και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτης δινα

22 εμνησθη δε ο θεος της ραχηλ και επηκουσεν αυτης ο θεος και ανεωξεν αυτης την μητραν

23 και συλλαβουσα ετεκεν τω ιακωβ υιον ειπεν δε ραχηλ αφειλεν ο θεος μου το ονειδος

24 και εκαλεσεν το ονομα αυτου ιωσηφ λεγουσα προσθετω ο θεος μοι υιον ετερον

25 εγενετο δε ως ετεκεν ραχηλ τον ιωσηφ ειπεν ιακωβ τω λαβαν αποστειλον με ινα απελθω εις τον τοπον μου και εις την γην μου

26 αποδος τας γυναικας μου και τα παιδια περι ων δεδουλευκα σοι ινα απελθω συ γαρ γινωσκεις την δουλειαν ην δεδουλευκα σοι

27 ειπεν δε αυτω λαβαν ει ευρον χαριν εναντιον σου οιωνισαμην αν ευλογησεν γαρ με ο θεος τη ση εισοδω

28 διαστειλον τον μισθον σου προς με και δωσω

29 ειπεν δε αυτω ιακωβ συ γινωσκεις α δεδουλευκα σοι και οσα ην κτηνη σου μετ' εμου

30 μικρα γαρ ην οσα σοι ην εναντιον εμου και ηυξηθη εις πληθος και ηυλογησεν σε κυριος επι τω ποδι μου νυν ουν ποτε ποιησω καγω εμαυτω οικον

31 και ειπεν αυτω λαβαν τι σοι δωσω ειπεν δε αυτω ιακωβ ου δωσεις μοι ουθεν εαν ποιησης μοι το ρημα τουτο παλιν ποιμανω τα προβατα σου και φυλαξω

32 παρελθατω παντα τα προβατα σου σημερον και διαχωρισον εκειθεν παν προβατον φαιον εν τοις αρνασιν και παν διαλευκον και ραντον εν ταις αιξιν εσται μοι μισθος

33 και επακουσεται μοι η δικαιοσυνη μου εν τη ημερα τη αυριον οτι εστιν ο μισθος μου ενωπιον σου παν ο εαν μη η ραντον και διαλευκον εν ταις αιξιν και φαιον εν τοις αρνασιν κεκλεμμενον εσται παρ' εμοι

34 ειπεν δε αυτω λαβαν εστω κατα το ρημα σου

35 και διεστειλεν εν τη ημερα εκεινη τους τραγους τους ραντους και τους διαλευκους και πασας τας αιγας τας ραντας και τας διαλευκους και παν ο ην λευκον εν αυτοις και παν ο ην φαιον εν τοις αρνασιν και εδωκεν δια χειρος των υιων αυτου

36 και απεστησεν οδον τριων ημερων ανα μεσον αυτων και ανα μεσον ιακωβ ιακωβ δε εποιμαινεν τα προβατα λαβαν τα υπολειφθεντα

37 ελαβεν δε εαυτω ιακωβ ραβδον στυρακινην χλωραν και καρυινην και πλατανου και ελεπισεν αυτας ιακωβ λεπισματα λευκα περισυρων το χλωρον εφαινετο δε επι ταις ραβδοις το λευκον ο ελεπισεν ποικιλον

38 και παρεθηκεν τας ραβδους ας ελεπισεν εν ταις ληνοις των ποτιστηριων του υδατος ινα ως αν ελθωσιν τα προβατα πιειν ενωπιον των ραβδων ελθοντων αυτων εις το πιειν

39 εγκισσησωσιν τα προβατα εις τας ραβδους και ετικτον τα προβατα διαλευκα και ποικιλα και σποδοειδη ραντα

40 τους δε αμνους διεστειλεν ιακωβ και εστησεν εναντιον των προβατων κριον διαλευκον και παν ποικιλον εν τοις αμνοις και διεχωρισεν εαυτω ποιμνια καθ' εαυτον και ουκ εμιξεν αυτα εις τα προβατα λαβαν

41 εγενετο δε εν τω καιρω ω ενεκισσησεν τα προβατα εν γαστρι λαμβανοντα εθηκεν ιακωβ τας ραβδους εναντιον των προβατων εν ταις ληνοις του εγκισσησαι αυτα κατα τας ραβδους

42 ηνικα δ' αν ετεκον τα προβατα ουκ ετιθει εγενετο δε τα ασημα του λαβαν τα δε επισημα του ιακωβ

43 και επλουτησεν ο ανθρωπος σφοδρα σφοδρα και εγενετο αυτω κτηνη πολλα και βοες και παιδες και παιδισκαι και καμηλοι και ονοι

9139. 'When a man devastates a field or a vineyard' means a stripping away of the Church's goodness and truth by evil desires. This is clear from the meaning of 'devastating' as a stripping away by evil desires, dealt with below in 9141; from the meaning of 'a field' as the Church in respect of good, dealt with in 2971, 3766, 4982, 7502, thus the Church's good; and from the meaning of 'a vineyard' as the Church in respect of truth, thus the Church's truth. The reason why 'a field' is the Church in respect of good is that the products of a field, such as wheat and barley, mean forms of good in the Church, internal and external ones, 3941, 7602, 7605; and the reason why 'a vineyard' is the Church in respect of truth is that 'wine', which is the product of a vineyard, means the truth of good, 1071, 6377.

[2] The origin of these meanings of 'a field' and 'a vineyard' lies in representatives in the spiritual world. For fields full of wheat and barley appear before the eyes of spirits when angels in a higher heaven are talking about an assembly of people governed by good; and vineyards full of grapes appear, together with winepresses in them, when angels are talking about an assembly of people governed by the truth of good. Those representatives are not due to the existence of such fields and vineyards on earth; rather, they are due to correspondences, in that wheat and barley, or bread made from them, nourish the body just as the good of love and charity nourishes the soul, and in that wine serving as drink nourishes the body just as the truth and good of faith nourish the soul. This is the reason why in the Word the good of love and the truth of faith are called food and drink; indeed in this sense they are heavenly food and drink, 56-58, 680, 681, 1973, 1974, 4459, 4792, 5147, 5293, 5576, 5579, 5915, 8562.

[3] The fact that 'a vineyard' means the Church in respect of the good and truth of faith, which is called a spiritual Church, is clear from places in the Word in which a vineyard is mentioned, as in Jeremiah,

Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trampled down My field; they have rendered the field of [My] delight into a lonely wilderness. They have made it (the vineyard) into a solitary place. Jeremiah 12:10-11.

Here 'vineyard' and 'field' plainly stand for the Church; and since the Church is the Church by virtue of the truth and good of faith and charity, it is evident that in these verses 'vineyard' is the Church in respect of truth and 'the field' the Church in respect of good. In Isaiah,

Jehovah enters into judgement with the elders of His people and with its princes. You set alight the vineyard. Isaiah 3:14.

Here also 'vineyard' plainly stands for the Church in respect of the good and truth of faith; for 'the elders' with whom Jehovah will enter into judgement are the Church's forms of good, 6524, 6525, and 'the princes' are its truths, 5044.

[4] In the same prophet,

I will sing to my beloved a song of my friend regarding His vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard in a horn of a son of oil, 1 which he surrounded [with an enclosure], and planted with the choicest vine. Isaiah 5:1-2ff.

This refers to the Lord, who is the 'beloved' and 'friend'. 'The vineyard' is His spiritual Church, 'the choicest vine' is that Church's good of faith, and 'a horn of a son of oil' is that Church's good of faith growing out of the good of love. The person who knows nothing whatever about the internal sense of the Word cannot possibly know what 'a vineyard in a horn of a son of oil' means. Nevertheless this expression has a meaning lying hidden within it such as no words can express. They contain a full description of the Lord's spiritual kingdom linked to His celestial kingdom, that is, of the second heaven to the third, consequently a full description of the good of faith in the Lord, which is the spiritual kingdom's, linked to the good of love to the Lord, which is the celestial kingdom's. 'The vineyard' is the spiritual kingdom; 'in a horn' is in power, thus in that kingdom, 'a son of oil' being the external level of the good of love in the celestial kingdom. The celestial kingdom, which is the Lord's inmost heaven, is called the olive or an olive-grove, for 'oil' means the good of celestial love, 886, 4582, 4638. It should be recognized that the Lord's kingdom on earth is the Church. As regards the existence of two kingdoms, the celestial kingdom and the spiritual kingdom, and the fact that the spiritual kingdom constitutes the second heaven and the celestial kingdom the third, see 3887, 4138, 4279, 4286; and with regard to their being linked together, 6435.

[5] In the same prophet,

On that day, a vineyard of unmixed wine; 2 respond to it. I Jehovah am guarding it; every moment I will water it. Isaiah 27:2-3.

'A vineyard of unmixed wine' stands for the spiritual Church. In Amos,

In all vineyards there will be wailing; I will pass through you. Woe to you desiring the day of Jehovah! What will the day of Jehovah be for you? It will be one of darkness, and not of light. Amos 5:17-18.

This refers to the final period of the Church, when the good and truth of faith do not exist any longer, that final period being meant by 'the day of Jehovah, which will be one of darkness, and not of light'. This is why it says, 'In all vineyards there will be wailing'. In John, in Revelation,

The angel sent his sickle into the earth and harvested the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. Revelation 14:18, 19.

'Harvesting the vine of the earth' means devouring the Church's truth and good, 'the earth' being the Church. From all this one may now see why it is that the Lord likened the kingdom of heaven so many times to a vineyard, as in Matthew 20:1ff; 21:28-29, 33-41; Mark 12:1-13; and why it is that the Lord called Himself 'the vine' in John,

As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; apart from Me you cannot do anything. John 15:1ff.

'The vine' is faith in the Lord, and for that reason is the Lord in respect of faith. For the Lord is faith because faith originates in Him; no faith is faith except that which originates in Him. So it is also that 'the vine' means faith that is faith in Him.

脚注:

1. i.e. on a very fertile hill

2. i.e. a vineyard of grapes that produce strong wine. Some English versions follow a textual variation meaning a delightful vineyard.
