1 Niin Isaak kutsui poikansa Jakobin ja siunasi häntä, käski ja sanoi hänelle: älä ota emäntää Kanaanin tyttäristä.

2 Vaan valmista ja mene Mesopotamiaan, Betuelin sinun äitis isän huoneesen: ja ota sinulles sieltä emäntä, Labanin sinun enos tyttäristä.

3 Ja Jumala kaikkivaltias siunatkoon sinua, ja tehköön sinun hedelmälliseksi ja enätköön sinun, ettäs tulisit (suureksi) kansain joukoksi.

4 Antakoon myös sinulle Abrahamin siunauksen, sinulle ja sinun siemenelles sinun kanssas: periäkses sitä maata, jossas muukalainen olet, jonka Jumala Abrahamille antanut on.

5 Niin lähetti Isaak Jakobin tyköänsä menemään Mesopotamiaan, Labanin, Betuelin Syrialaisen pojan tykö, Rebekan, Jakobin ja Esaun äidin, veljen.

6 Koska Esau näki, että Isaak oli siunannut Jakobin, ja lähettänyt hänen Mesopotamiaan ottamaan sieltä itsellensä emäntää: ja että hän, sittekuin hän hänen siunannut oli, käski häntä ja sanoi: ei sinun pidä ottaman emäntää Kanaanin tyttäristä.

7 Ja että Jakob oli isällensä ja äidillensä kuuliainen; ja meni Mesopotamiaan.

8 Esau näki myös, ettei Isaak hänen isänsä voinut nähdä Kanaanin tyttäriä;

9 Meni Esau Ismaelin tykö: ja otti Mahalatin Ismaelin Abrahamin pojan tyttären, Nabojotin sisaren, emännäksensä, paitsi entisiä.

10 Niin Jakob läksi BerSabasta: ja meni Haraniin.

11 Ja joutui yhteen paikkaan, ja oli siinä yötä: sillä aurinko oli laskenut, ja otti kiven siitä paikasta, ja pani päänsä alaiseksi, ja makasi siinä paikassa.

12 Ja näki unta, ja katso, tikapuut seisoivat maan päällä, joiden pää ulottui taivaasen: ja katso, Jumalan enkelit kävivät ylös ja alas niitä myöten.

13 Ja katso, Herra seisoi niiden päällä, ja sanoi: Minä olen Herra, Abrahamin sinun isäs Jumala, ja Isaakin Jumala: tämän maan, jonka päällä sinä makaat, annan minä sinulle ja sinun siemenelles.

14 Ja sinun siemenes pitää oleman niinkuin maan tomu, ja sinun pitää leviämän länteen ja itään, pohjaan ja etelään päin. Ja sinussa pitää kaikki sukukunnat maan päällä siunatuksi tuleman, ja sinun siemenessäs.

15 Ja katso, minä olen sinun kanssas, ja varjelen sinua, kuhunkas ikänänsä joudut, ja saatan sinun jällensä tälle maalle: sillä en minä hylkää sinua siihenasti, että minä kaikki teen, mitä minä sinulle puhunut olen.

16 Koska Jakob heräsi unestansa, niin hän sanoi: totisesti on Herra tässä paikassa: ja en minä sitä tietänyt.

17 Niin hän pelkäsi, ja sanoi: kuinka peljättävä on tämä paikka! ei tässä muu ole kuin Jumalan huone ja taivaan ovi.

18 Ja Jakob nousi varhain aamulla, ja otti kiven, jonka hän oli pannut päänsä alaiseksi, ja pani sen pystyälle muistopatsaaksi: ja vuodatti öljyä sen päälle.

19 Kutsui siis sen paikan BetEl; vaan muinaisiin aikoin se kutsuttiin Luts.

20 Niin Jakob teki lupauksen, sanoen: jos Jumala on minun kanssani, ja varjelee minua tällä tiellä, jota minä vaellan, antaa myös minulle leipää syödäkseni, ja vaatetta verhokseni:

21 Ja tulen takaperin rauhassa kotia isäni tykö: ja Herra on minun Jumalani.

22 Niin tämä kivi, jonka minä panin pystyälle muistopaatsaaksi, pitää oleman Jumalan huone: ja kaikista, jotkas minulle annat, annan minä tosin sinulle kymmenykset.

3705. 'The land on which you are lying I will give to you' means that the good on which the Natural rested was His own in origin. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land' here as the good of the natural, dealt with below; from the meaning of 'on which you are lying' as on which it rested; and from the meaning of 'giving it to you' as His own in origin, also dealt with below. The reason 'the land' means the good of the natural, which Jacob will represent from now on, is that 'the land of Canaan' means the Lord's kingdom, 1413, 1437, 1585, 1607, 1866. And since it means the Lord's kingdom it also means in the highest sense the Lord, 3038 - for the Lord is the All in all of His kingdom, and anything there which does not originate in Him and have regard to Him is not part of His kingdom. The Lord's kingdom is also meant in the Word by 'heaven and earth', 1 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), though in this case the interior of that kingdom is meant by 'heaven' and the exterior by 'earth', 82, 1411, 1733, 3355 (end). Consequently 'heaven' in the highest sense means the Lord as regards His Divine Rational and 'earth' as regards His Divine Natural. Here therefore 'the land on which you are lying' means the Good of the Natural on which the Natural, represented by 'Jacob', rested. For 'Jacob' represents the Lord's Divine Natural, as stated many times above.

[2] Furthermore the word 'land' has various meanings, see 620, 636, 1066, 2571, 3368, 3379, the reason being that Canaan, which is called the Holy Land, means the Lord's kingdom in general; and when 'heaven' is mentioned together with 'earth', 'heaven' in that case means, as has been stated, that which is interior, 'earth' that which is exterior. This being so it also means the Lord's kingdom on earth, that is, the Church; and having that meaning, it also means a person who is the Lord's kingdom or who is the Church. With that person 'heaven' accordingly means that which is interior, 'earth' that which is exterior; or what amounts to the same, 'heaven' is the rational and 'earth' the natural since the rational exists more interiorly with man and the natural more exteriorly. And since 'land' [or 'earth'] has all these meanings it also means that which a person puts into effect - namely the good of love which he receives from the Divine - so that he may become the Lord's kingdom. From this it is evident in what way the meaning of 'land' in the Word varies.

[3] 'I will give to you' means that in origin it was His own. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'giving' in the Word when used in reference to the Lord, for as shown just above, the Lord is Divine Good and also Divine Truth, the former being called 'the Father' and the latter 'the Son'. Now because Divine Good is His and consequently that which is His own, it follows that 'giving to you', when spoken by Jehovah and used in reference to the Lord, means that which was His own in origin. From this one may see what is meant in the internal sense by the Lord's frequent reference to the Father's having given to Him - that is to say, to Himself, the Lord - as in John,

Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, as You have given Him power over all flesh, in order that all You have given Him, to them He may give eternal life. I have glorified You on earth; I have accomplished the work which You gave Me to do. I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; Yours they were, and You gave them to Me. Now they know that everything which You have given Me is from You; for the words which You gave Me I have given to them. I am praying for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours; for all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine. John 17:1-2, 4, 6-10.

Each reference here to the Father's giving means originating in the Divine Good that was His, and so in that which was His own.

[4] From this one may see how great an arcanum lies within the particular words spoken by the Lord, and also how greatly different the sense of the letter is from the internal sense, and more so from the highest sense. The Lord spoke in this fashion in order that mankind which at that time had no knowledge at all of any Divine truth might nevertheless be enabled in its own way to grasp and so accept the Word, while angels did so in theirs, for the angels knew that Jehovah and He were one and that the Father was Divine Good. For this reason also they knew that when He spoke of the Father giving to Him He would be giving to Himself and so drawing on what was His own.

255. 'The seed of the woman' is used to mean faith in the Lord. This is clear from the meaning of 'woman' as the Church, the seed of which is nothing else than faith. It is from faith in the Lord that the Church has its being and gets its name. In Malachi faith is called 'God's seed',

Jehovah was a witness between you and the wife of your youth. And not one has done so, though he has a residue of the spirit. And is there one seeking God's seed? But take heed within your spirit, lest he act treacherously against the wife of your youth. Malachi 2:14-15.

Here 'wife of your youth' is the Ancient Church and the Most Ancient, whose seed or faith is the subject. In Isaiah,

I will pour out waters upon the thirsty land, and streams on the dry. I will pour out [My] Spirit upon your seed and My blessing upon your descendants. Isaiah 44:3.

This too refers to the Church. In Revelation,

The dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her seed, who kept the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:17.

And in David,

I have made a covenant with My Chosen One, I have sworn to David My servant, I will establish your seed even for ever; and I will set up his seed in perpetuity, and his throne as the days of the heavens; his seed will be for ever, and his throne will be like the sun in front of Me. Psalms 89:7, 4, 29, 36.

Here David is used to mean the Lord, 'his throne' to mean His Kingdom, 'the sun' love, and 'seed' faith.
