1 ときにはヤコブに言われた、「あなたは立ってベテルに上り、そこに住んで、あなたがさきにエサウを避けてのがれる時、あなたに現れた祭壇を造りなさい」。

2 ヤコブは、その族および共にいるすべての者に言った、「あなたがたのうちにある異なる神々を捨て、身を清めて着物を着替えなさい。

3 われわれは立ってベテルに上り、その所でわたしの苦難のにわたしにこたえ、かつわたしの行く道で共におられた神に祭壇を造ろう」。

4 そこで彼らは持っている異なる神々と、耳につけている耳輪をことごとくヤコブに与えたので、ヤコブはこれをシケムのほとりにあるテレビンの木の下に埋めた。

5 そして彼らは、いで立ったが、大いなる恐れが周囲の々に起ったので、ヤコブの子らのあとを追う者はなかった。

6 こうしてヤコブは共にいたすべての人々と一緒にカナンの地にあるルズ、すなわちベテルにきた。

7 彼はそこに祭壇を築き、その所をエル・ベテルと名づけた。彼がを避けてのがれる時、がそこで彼に現れたからである。

8 時にリベカのうばデボラが死んで、ベテルのしもの、かしの木の下に葬られた。これによってその木の名をアロン・バクテと呼ばれた

9 さてヤコブがパダンアラムから帰ってきた時、は再び彼に現れて彼を祝福された。

10 は彼に言われた、「あなたの名はヤコブである。しかしあなたの名をもはやヤコブと呼んではならない。あなたの名をイスラエルとしなさい」。こうして彼をイスラエルと名づけられた。

11 はまた彼に言われた、「わたしは全能である。あなたは生めよ、またふえよ。一つの民、また多くの民があなたから出て、王たちがあなたの身から出るであろう。

12 わたしはアブラハムとイサクとに与えた地を、あなたに与えよう。またあなたのの子孫にその地を与えよう」。

13 は彼と語っておられたその場所から彼を離れてのぼられた。

14 そこでヤコブは神が自分と語られたその場所に、一本の石の柱を立て、その上に灌祭をささげ、またを注いだ。

15 そしてヤコブはが自分と語られたその場所ベテルと名づけた。

16 こうして彼らはベテルを立ったが、エフラタに行き着くまでに、なお隔たりのある所でラケルは産気づき、その産は重かった。

17 その難産に当って、産婆は彼女に言った、「心配することはありません。今度も男のです」。

18 彼女は死にのぞみ、の去ろうとする時、子の名をベノニと呼んだ。しかし、父はこれをベニヤミンと名づけた。

19 ラケルは死んでエフラタ、すなわちベツレヘムの道に葬られた。

20 ヤコブはその墓に柱を立てた。これはラケルの墓の柱であって、今日に至っている。

21 イスラエルはまた、いで立ってミグダル・エダルの向こうに天幕を張った。

22 イスラエルがその地に住んでいた時、ルベンは父のそばめビルハのところへ行って、これと寝た。イスラエルはこれを聞いた

23 すなわちレアのらはヤコブの長ルベンとシメオン、レビ、ユダイッサカル、ゼブルン。

24 ラケルの子らはヨセフとベニヤミン。

25 ラケルのつかえめビルハの子らはダンナフタリ

26 レアのつかえめジルパの子らはガドとアセル。これらはヤコブの子らであって、パダンアラムで彼に生れた者である。

27 ヤコブはキリアテ・アルバ、すなわちヘブロンのマムレにいる父イサクのもとへ行った。ここはアブラハムとイサクとが寄留した所である。

28 イサクの年は八十歳であった。

29 イサクは年老い、満ちて息絶え、死んで、その民に加えられた。その子エサウとヤコブとは、これを葬った。

4442. And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to speak with him. That this signifies a consultation about the truth of that church, is evident from the representation of Hamor the father of Shechem, as being the truth of the ancients (see n. 4430, 4431); from the representation of Jacob, as being the external Ancient Church (n. 4439); and from the signification of “speaking with him,” as being to consult. Hence by these words is signified a consultation about the truth of that church.

[2] He who does not know that names in the Word signify things, will wonder that by the words “Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to speak with him,” is signified a consultation of the truth of the church that existed among the ancients with the truth that was in accordance with the Ancient Church that was to be set up anew among the descendants of Jacob; but this will excite no surprise in anyone who knows that such is the nature of the internal sense of the Word, nor in those who have learned from the books of the ancients their manner of writing; for it was customary with them to set forth things as speaking together, such as wisdom, intelligence, knowledges, and the like; and also to give them names by which such things were signified. The gods and demigods of the ancients were nothing else, and so were the personages whom they devised in order to present their subjects in a historical form.

[3] The sages of old took this custom from the Ancient Church, which was spread over much of the Asiatic world (n. 1238, 2385); for the people of the Ancient Church set forth sacred things by means of representatives and significatives. The Ancient Church, however, received this from the mouth of the Most Ancient people, who were before the flood (n. 920, 1409, 1977, 2896, 2897); and these from heaven, for they had communication with heaven (n. 784, 1114-1125); and the first heaven, which is the last of the three, is in such representatives and significatives. This is the reason why the Word was written in such a style. But the Word has this peculiar feature, not possessed by the writings of the ancients, that each of the subjects in a continuous series represents the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord’s kingdom, and in the supreme sense the Lord Himself; even the historicals themselves being of the same character; and-what is more-they are real correspondences, and these continuous through the three heavens from the Lord.

4431. The son of Hamor the Hivite. That this signifies from the ancients, is evident from the signification of a “son,” who here is Shechem, as being interior truth, of which just above (that a “son” denotes truth see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373, 4257); and from the representation of Hamor, as being the father of this truth, thus meaning from the ancients; for the truth that was interior in the representatives and rituals emanated from the church of ancient time. For this reason Hamor is also named “the Hivite,” for the Hivite nation was that by which such truth among the ancients was signified, because the Hivites had been in such truth from ancient time, and hence it is that Hamor is here called “the Hivite.” For by all the nations in the land of Canaan some good or truth of the church of ancient time was signified, because the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial, was there (n. 4116). But afterwards these nations, like all the other nations among whom the church had been, turned aside to things idolatrous, and therefore by the same nations idolatries also are signified. Yet because the Hivites had from ancient time signified interior truth, and because they were one of the better disposed nations, with whom iniquity was not so far consummated (that is, the truth of the church was not so far extinguished as with others), the Gibeonite Hivites were of the Lord’s providence preserved, by means of a covenant made with them by Joshua and the princes (Josh. 9:15). That they were Hivites may be seen in Joshua 9:7; 11:19. From all that has been said it is now evident whence it is that interior truth from the ancients is signified by “Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite.”
