1 Kaj Jakob levis siajn piedojn kaj iris al la lando de la orientanoj.

2 Kaj li vidis: jen estas puto sur la kampo, kaj tri gregoj da sxafoj kusxas apud gxi; cxar el tiu puto oni trinkigadis la gregojn; kaj granda sxtono estis sur la aperturo de la puto.

3 Kaj kiam tie kunvenis cxiuj gregoj, tiam oni deruladis la sxtonon de sur la aperturo kaj trinkigadis la sxafojn kaj denove remetadis la sxtonon sur gxian lokon, sur la aperturon de la puto.

4 Kaj Jakob diris al ili: Fratoj miaj, ke kie vi estas? Kaj ili diris: Ni estas el HXaran.

5 Kaj li diris al ili: CXu vi konas Labanon, filon de Nahxor? Kaj ili diris: Ni konas.

6 Kaj li diris al ili: CXu li bone fartas? Kaj ili diris: Li fartas bone, kaj jen lia filino Rahxel venas kun la sxafoj.

7 Kaj li diris: De la tago restas ja ankoraux multe, ankoraux ne estas la tempo, por kolekti la gregojn; trinkigu la sxafojn kaj iru, pasxtu.

8 Kaj ili diris: Ni ne povas, gxis kolektigxos cxiuj gregoj kaj oni derulos la sxtonon de sur la aperturo de la puto kaj ni trinkigos la sxafojn.

9 Dum li ankoraux parolis kun ili, venis Rahxel kun la sxafoj de sia patro, cxar sxi pasxtis ilin.

10 Kaj kiam Jakob ekvidis Rahxelon, la filinon de Laban, frato de lia patrino, kaj la sxafojn de Laban, frato de lia patrino, tiam Jakob alproksimigxis, derulis la sxtonon de sur la aperturo de la puto, kaj trinkigis la sxafojn de Laban, la frato de lia patrino.

11 Kaj Jakob kisis Rahxelon kaj lauxte ekploris.

12 Kaj Jakob diris al Rahxel, ke li estas parenco de sxia patro kaj filo de Rebeka. Kaj sxi kuris kaj diris al sia patro.

13 Kaj kiam Laban auxdis la sciigon pri Jakob, filo de lia fratino, li kuris al li renkonte kaj cxirkauxprenis lin kaj kisis lin kaj venigis lin en sian domon. Kaj tiu rakontis al Laban cxion.

14 Kaj Laban diris al li: Vi estas ja mia osto kaj mia karno! Kaj li logxis cxe li tutan monaton.

15 Kaj Laban diris al Jakob: CXu pro tio, ke vi estas mia parenco, vi devas servi min senpage? diru al mi, kion mi devas pagi al vi?

16 Sed Laban havis du filinojn; la nomo de la pli maljuna estis Lea, kaj la nomo de la pli juna estis Rahxel.

17 La okuloj de Lea estis malsanaj, sed Rahxel estis belforma kaj belvizagxa.

18 Kaj Jakob ekamis Rahxelon, kaj diris: Mi servos vin sep jarojn pro Rahxel, via pli juna filino.

19 Tiam Laban diris: Pli bone estas, ke mi donu sxin al vi, ol ke mi donu sxin al alia viro; logxu cxe mi.

20 Kaj Jakob servis pro Rahxel sep jarojn, kaj ili estis en liaj okuloj kiel kelke da tagoj, cxar li amis sxin.

21 Kaj Jakob diris al Laban: Donu mian edzinon, cxar finigxis mia tempo, kaj mi envenos al sxi.

22 Kaj Laban kunvenigis cxiujn homojn de tiu loko kaj faris festenon.

23 Sed vespere li prenis sian filinon Lea kaj enirigis sxin al li; kaj tiu envenis al sxi.

24 Kaj Laban donis sian sklavinon Zilpa al Lea kiel sklavinon.

25 Sed matene montrigxis, ke tio estas Lea. Tiam li diris al Laban: Kion do vi faris al mi! cxu ne pro Rahxel mi servis vin? kial do vi min trompis?

26 Tiam Laban diris: En nia loko ne estas moro, ke oni donu la pli junan antaux ol la pli maljunan.

27 Pasigu semajnon kun cxi tiu, tiam mi donos al vi ankaux tiun, pro servo, kiun vi servos cxe mi ankoraux aliajn sep jarojn.

28 Kaj Jakob faris tiel kaj pasigis semajnon kun cxi tiu. Kaj Laban donis al li sian filinon Rahxel kiel edzinon.

29 Kaj Laban donis al sia filino Rahxel sian sklavinon Bilha kiel sklavinon.

30 Kaj Jakob envenis ankaux al Rahxel, kaj li amis Rahxelon pli ol Lean, kaj li servis cxe li ankoraux aliajn sep jarojn.

31 Kiam la Eternulo vidis, ke Lea estas malamata, Li malsxlosis sxian uteron; sed Rahxel estis senfrukta.

32 Kaj Lea gravedigxis kaj naskis filon, kaj sxi donis al li la nomon Ruben, cxar sxi diris: La Eternulo vidis mian mizeron, kaj nun mia edzo min amos.

33 Kaj sxi denove gravedigxis kaj naskis filon. Kaj sxi diris: La Eternulo auxdis, ke mi estas malamata, tial Li donis al mi ankaux cxi tiun; kaj sxi donis al li la nomon Simeon.

34 Kaj sxi denove gravedigxis kaj naskis filon. Kaj sxi diris: La nunan fojon mia edzo aligxos al mi, cxar mi naskis al li tri filojn; tial al li estis donita la nomo Levi.

35 Kaj sxi denove gravedigxis kaj naskis filon. Kaj sxi diris: Nun mi dankos la Eternulon; tial sxi donis al li la nomon Jehuda. Kaj sxi cxesis naski.

395. 'Anyone killing Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold' means that to violate faith thus separated was utterly forbidden. This is clear from the meaning of 'Cain' as separated faith, and from the meaning of 'seven' as utterly inviolable. As is well known, the number seven was considered holy on account of the six days of creation and of the seventh, which is the celestial man in whom peace, rest, and the Sabbath exist. This is the reason why the number seven occurs so many times in the religious ceremonies of the Jewish Church, in every instance standing for that which is holy. It is also the reason why periods of time, long as well as short, were divided into seven, and were called weeks, as in the case of the long time intervals leading up to the time when the Messiah was to come, Daniel 9:24-25. A period of seven years is also called a week by Laban and Jacob, Genesis 29:27-28. Consequently wherever the number seven occurs it stands either for something holy or else for something utterly inviolable, as in David,

Seven times in the day I praise You. Psalms 119:164.

In Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days. Isaiah 30:26.

Here 'the sun' is love, and 'the moon' faith deriving from love, a faith which is to be as love.

[2] Just as the periods of man's regeneration divide into six before he reaches the seventh, which is the celestial man, so also do the periods of vastation even until nothing celestial is left. This was represented by the many captivities of the Jews, and by the last of them, the Babylonian, which was a captivity of seven decades, that is, seventy years. And it was several times stated that the land had to rest during its Sabbaths. It was also represented by Nebuchadnezzar, of whom it is said in Daniel,

His heart will be changed from man, and the heart of a beast given him until seven times will pass over him. Daniel 4:16, 25, 32.

In reference to the vastation of the last times it is recorded in John,

I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful - seven angels holding the seven Revelation 15:1, 6-7.

They will trample over the holy city for forty-two months (that is, six times seven). Revelation 11:2.

In the same book,

I saw a book [written] within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Revelation 5:1.

Severe and increased penalties were for the same reason expressed by the number seven, as in Moses,

If you will not obey Me in this matter, I will chastise you seven times worse for your sins. Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28.

In David,

Return to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom. Psalms 79:12.

So then, it is because it was utterly forbidden to violate faith - since it had a use to serve, as has been stated - that the statement is made about 'vengeance being taken sevenfold on him who killed Cain'.

Leviticus 26

1 "'You shall make for yourselves no idols, neither shall you raise up an engraved image or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am Yahweh your God.

2 "'You shall keep my Sabbaths, and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.

3 "'If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4 then I will give you your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 "'I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and no one will make you afraid; and I will remove evil animals out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 You shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 "'I will have respect for you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.

10 You shall eat old store long kept, and you shall move out the old because of the new.

11 I will set my tent among you: and my soul won't abhor you.

12 I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you will be my people.

13 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 "'But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 and if you shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that you will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

16 I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away; and you will sow your seed in vain, for your enemies will eat it.

17 I will set my face against you, and you will be struck before your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you; and you will flee when no one pursues you.

18 "'If you in spite of these things will not listen to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

19 I will break the pride of your power, and I will make your sky like iron, and your soil like brass;

20 and your strength will be spent in vain; for your land won't yield its increase, neither will the trees of the land yield their fruit.

21 "'If you walk contrary to me, and won't listen to me, then I will bring seven times more plagues on you according to your sins.

22 I will send the wild animals among you, which will rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and make you few in number; and your roads will become desolate.

23 "'If by these things you won't be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me;

24 then I will also walk contrary to you; and I will strike you, even I, seven times for your sins.

25 I will bring a sword upon you, that will execute the vengeance of the covenant; and you will be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 "'If you in spite of this won't listen to me, but walk contrary to me;

28 then I will walk contrary to you in wrath; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 You will eat the flesh of your sons, and you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

30 I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

31 I will lay your cities waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not take delight in the sweet fragrance of your offerings.

32 I will bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein will be astonished at it.

33 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land will be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

34 Then the land will enjoy its sabbaths as long as it lies desolate and you are in your enemies' land. Even then the land will rest and enjoy its sabbaths.

35 As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it didn't have in your sabbaths, when you lived on it.

36 "'As for those of you who are left, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf will put them to flight; and they shall flee, as one flees from the sword; and they will fall when no one pursues.

37 They will stumble over one another, as it were before the sword, when no one pursues: and you will have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will eat you up.

39 Those of you who are left will pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 "'If they confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,

41 I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and they then accept the punishment of their iniquity;

42 then I will remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham; and I will remember the land.

43 The land also will be left by them, and will enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them: and they will accept the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them; for I am Yahweh their God;

45 but I will for their sake remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.'"

46 These are the statutes, ordinances and laws, which Yahweh made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses.
