Genesi 33

Სწავლა

   

1 Giacobbe alzò gli occhi, guardò, ed ecco Esaù che veniva, avendo seco quattrocento uomini. Allora divise i figliuoli fra Lea, Rachele e le due serve.

2 E mise davanti le serve e i loro figliuoli, poi Lea e i suoi figliuoli, e da ultimo Rachele e Giuseppe.

3 Ed egli stesso passò dinanzi a loro, s’inchinò fino a terra sette volte, finché si fu avvicinato al suo fratello.

4 Ed Esaù gli corse incontro, l’abbracciò, gli si gettò al collo, e lo baciò: e piansero.

5 Poi Esaù, alzando gli occhi, vide le donne e i fanciulli, e disse: "Chi son questi qui che hai teco?" Giacobbe rispose: "Sono i figliuoli che Dio s’è compiaciuto di dare al tuo servo".

6 Allora le serve s’accostarono, esse e i loro figliuoli, e s’inchinarono.

7 S’accostarono anche Lea e i suoi figliuoli, e s’inchinarono. Poi s’accostarono Giuseppe e Rachele, e s’inchinarono.

8 Ed Esaù disse: "Che ne vuoi fare di tutta quella schiera che ho incontrata?" Giacobbe rispose: "E’ per trovar grazia agli occhi del mio signore".

9 Ed Esaù: "Io ne ho assai della roba, fratel mio; tienti per te ciò ch’è tuo".

10 Ma Giacobbe disse: "No, ti prego; se ho trovato grazia agli occhi tuoi, accetta il dono dalla mia mano, giacché io ho veduto la tua faccia, come uno vede la faccia di Dio, e tu m’hai fatto gradevole accoglienza.

11 Deh, accetta il mio dono che t’è stato recato; poiché Iddio m’ha usato grande bontà, e io ho di tutto". E insisté tanto, che Esaù l’accettò.

12 Poi Esaù disse: "Partiamo, incamminiamoci, e io andrò innanzi a te".

13 E Giacobbe rispose: "Il mio signore sa che i fanciulli son di tenera età, e che ho con me delle pecore e delle vacche che allattano; se si forzassero per un giorno solo a camminare, le bestie morrebbero tutte.

14 Deh, passi il mio signore innanzi al suo servo; e io me ne verrò pian piano, al passo del bestiame che mi precederà, e al passo de’ fanciulli, finché arrivi presso al mio signore, a Seir".

15 Ed Esaù disse: "Permetti almeno ch’io lasci con te un po’ della gente che ho meco". Ma Giacobbe rispose: "E perché questo? Basta ch’io trovi grazia agli occhi del mio signore".

16 Così Esaù, in quel giorno stesso, rifece il cammino verso Seir.

17 Giacobbe partì alla volta di Succoth e edificò una casa per sé, e fece delle capanne per il suo bestiame; e per questo quel luogo fu chiamato Succoth.

18 Poi Giacobbe, tornando da Paddan-Aram, arrivò sano e salvo alla città di Sichem, nel paese di Canaan, e piantò le tende dirimpetto alla città.

19 E comprò dai figliuoli di Hemor, padre di Sichem, per cento pezzi di danaro, la parte del campo dove avea piantato le sue tende.

20 Ed eresse quivi un altare, e lo chiamò El-Elohè-Israel.

4378. And that the flocks and the herds are suckling with me. That this signifies goods both interior and natural, which as yet have not acquired Divine life, is evident from the signification of “flocks,” as being interior goods (n. 2566, 3783); and from the signification of “herds,” as being exterior or natural goods (n. 2566, and further, n. 2180, 2781); and from the signification of “suckling,” as being also recent goods, here spiritual goods that are being born in the natural. For in the state of infancy (in relation to the regeneration of man) spiritual things are in potency within; for spiritual life develops successively from one age to another, as from an egg. The age of infancy is as an egg to the age of childhood, and the age of childhood is as an egg to the age of youth and early manhood, and this as an egg to adult age; so that man is as it were being born continually. From this it is evident what is meant by goods both interior and natural which as yet have not acquired Divine life, and which are here signified by the flocks and the herds that are suckling. (See also what was said just above concerning the state of infancy, n. 4377)

415. That by the “father of cattle” is signified the good that is derived from the holy things of love, is evident from what was shown above, at verse 2 of this chapter, where it was shown that a “shepherd of the flock” signifies the good of charity. Here however the term “father” is employed instead of “shepherd” and “cattle” instead of “flock;” and the word “cattle” of which Jabal is said to be the “father” follows immediately after “tent” whence it is evident that it signifies the good that comes from the holy of love, and that there is meant a habitation or fold for cattle, or the father of them that dwell in tents and in folds for cattle. And that these expressions signify goods from the celestial things of love, is evident from various passages in the Word. As in Jeremiah:

I will gather the remnants of My flock out of all lands whither I have scattered them, and I will bring them again to their folds, that they may be fruitful and multiply (Jeremiah 23:3).

In Ezekiel:

I will feed them in a good pasture, and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be; there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel (Ezekiel 34:14),

where “folds” and “pastures” denote the goods of love, of which “fatness” is predicated.

In Isaiah:

He shall give the rain of thy seed wherewith thou shalt sow the ground; and bread of the increase of the ground shall be fat and full of oil; in that day shall He feed thy cattle in a broad meadow (Isaiah 30:23),

where by “bread” is signified what is celestial, and by the “fat” whereon the cattle should feed, the goods thence derived.

In Jeremiah:

Jehovah hath redeemed Jacob, and they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the good of Jehovah, for the wheat, and for the new wine, and for the oil, and for the sons of the flock, and of the herd; and their soul shall be as a watered garden (Jeremiah 31:11-12),

where the Holy of Jehovah is described by “wheat” and “oil” and the goods derived from it by “new wine” and the “sons of the flock and of the herd” or of “cattle.” Again:

The shepherds and the flocks of their cattle shall come unto the daughter of Zion; they shall pitch their tents toward her round about; they shall feed everyone his own space (Jeremiah 6:3).

The “daughter of Zion” denotes the celestial church, of which “tents” and “flocks of cattle” are predicated.
