1 아브라함이 후처를 취하였으니 그 이름은 그두라라

2 그가 시므란과, 욕산과, 므단과, 미디안과, 이스박과, 수아을 낳았고

3 욕산과, 스바와, 드단을 낳았으며 드단의 자손은 앗수르 족속과, 르두시 족속과, 르움미 족속이며

4 미디안의 아들은 에바와, 에벨과, 하녹과, 아비다와, 엘다아니 다 그두라의 자손이었더라

5 아브라함이 이삭에게 자기 모든 소유를 주었고

6 자기 서자들에게도 재물을 주어 자기 생전에 그들로 자기 아들 이삭을 떠나 동방 곧 동국으로 가게 하였더라

7 아브라함의 향년이 일백 칠십 오세라

8 그가 수가 높고 나이 많아 기운이 진하여 죽어 자기 열조에게로 돌아가매

9 그 아들 이삭과 이스마엘이 그를 마므레 앞 헷 족속 소할의 아들 에브론의 밭에 있는 막벨라 굴에 장사하였으니

10 이것은 아브라함이 헷 족속에게서 산 밭이라 아브라함과 그 아내 사라가 거기 장사되니라

11 아브라함이 죽은 후에 하나님이 그 아들 이삭에게 복을 주셨고 이삭을 브엘 라해로이 근처에 거하였더라

12 사라의 여종 애굽인 하갈이 아브라함에게 낳은 아들 이스마엘의 후예는 이러하고

13 이스마엘의 아들들의 이름은 그 이름과 그 세대 대로 이와 같으니라 이스마엘의 장자는 느바욧이요, 그 다음은 게달과, 앗브엘과, 밉삼과,

14 미스마와, 두마와, 맛사와,

15 하닷과, 데마와, 여둘과, 나비스와, 게드마니

16 이들은 이스마엘의 아들들이요 그 촌과 부락대로 된 이름이며 그 족속대로는 십 이방백이었더라

17 이스마엘은 향년이 일백 삼십 칠세에 기운이 진하여 죽어 자기 열조에게로 돌아갔고

18 그 자손들은 하윌라에서부터 앗수르로 통하는 애굽 앞 술까지 이르러 그 모든 형제의 맞은편에 거하였더라

19 아브라함의 아들 이삭의 후예는 이러하니라 아브라함이 이삭을 낳았고

20 이삭은 사십세에 리브가를 취하여 아내를 삼았으니 리브가는 밧단 아람의 아람 족속 중 브두엘의 딸이요 아람 족속 중 라반의 누이였더라

21 이삭이 그 아내가 잉태하지 못하므로 그를 위하여 여호와께 간구하매 여호와께서 그 간구를 들으셨으므로 그 아내 리브가가 잉태하였더니

22 아이들이 그의 태 속에서 서로 싸우는지라 그가 가로되 `이같으면 내가 어찌할꼬 ?' 하고 가서 여호와께 묻자온대

23 여호와께서 그에게 이르시되 두 국민이 네 태 중에 있구나 두 민족이 네 복 중에서부터 나누이리라 이 족속이, 저 족속보다 강하겠고 큰 자는 어린 자를 섬기리라 하셨더라

24 그 해산 기한이 찬즉 태에 쌍동이가 있었는데

25 먼저 나온 자는 붉고 전신이 갖옷 같아서 이름을 에서라 하였고

26 후에 나온 아우는 손으로 에서의 발꿈치를 잡았으므로 그 이름을 야곱이라 하였으며 리브가가 그들을 낳을 때에 이삭이 육십세이었더라

27 그 아이들이 장성하매 에서는 익숙한 사냥군인고로 들 사람이 되고 야곱은 종용한 사람인고로 장막에 거하니

28 이삭은 에서의 사냥한 고기를 좋아하므로 그를 사랑하고 리브가는 야곱을 사랑하였더라

29 야곱이 죽을 쑤었더니 에서가 들에서부터 돌아와서 심히 곤비하여

30 야곱에게 이르되 `내가 곤비하니 그 붉은 것을 나로 먹게 하라' 한지라 그러므로 에서의 별명은 에돔이더라

31 야곱이 가로되 `형의 장자의 명분을 오늘날 내게 팔라'

32 에서가 가로되 `내가 죽게 되었으니 이 장자의 명분이 내게 무엇이 유익하리요'

33 야곱이 가로되 `오늘 내게 맹세하라' 에서가 맹세하고 장자의 명분을 야곱에게 판지라

34 야곱이 떡과 팥죽을 에서에게 주매 에서가 먹으며 마시고 일어나서 갔으니 에서가 장자의 명분을 경홀히 여김이었더라

2943. Of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying. That this signifies as to the doctrinal things through which there is faith, is evident from the signification of “gate,” as being entrance, thus that which introduces (in like manner as “door,” see n. 2145, 2152, 2356, 2385); and from the signification of “city,” as being the truth of faith (see n. 402, 2268, 2449, 2451, 2712). Cities in the Ancient Church were not like the cities of later times and of the present day, that is, assemblages and gatherings of people; but they were the dwelling together of separate families. The family of one parent constituted a city, as for instance the city of Nahor (to which Abraham’s servant came when he was to betroth Rebekah to Isaac, Genesis 24:10) was Nahor’s family which was there; and Shalem, the city of Shechem (to which Jacob came when he journeyed from Paddan-aram, Genesis 33:18; 34 (Genesis 34:2) (Genesis 34:4) (Genesis 34:6) (Genesis 34:8) (Genesis 34:11) (Genesis 34:13) (Genesis 34:18) (Genesis 34:20) (Genesis 34:24) (Genesis 34:26)) was the family of Hamor and Shechem, which was there; and so with the other cities of that time.

[2] And as they had learned from the most ancient people that nations and families represented the heavenly societies, and thus the things of love and charity (n. 655, 1159), so when a “city” is mentioned instead of a family, and “people” instead of nation, truth is signified which is of faith. Hence also the “city of God” and the “holy city,” in the genuine sense signify faith in the Lord; and as a walled town or city signified faith, the “gate” of the city signified doctrinal things, because these introduce to faith. This in the representative Jewish Church was also signified by the judges and the elders sitting in the gate of the city and judging there; as is plain from the historical parts of the Word; and also in Zechariah:

These are the words that ye shall do: Speak ye every man the truth with his companion, judge truth and the judgment of peace in your gates (Zech. 8:16).

Also in Amos:

Hate the evil and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate (Amos 5:15).

(That a “gate” also signifies the way of access to the rational mind, and that this mind is compared to a city, may be seen above, n. 2851)

1159. Everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations. That this signifies that these were according to the genius of each; “according to their tongue,” according to the opinion of each; “according to their families,” according to their uprightness; and “as to their nations,” as regards both in general, may be seen from the signification of “tongue,” of “families,” and of “nations,” in the Word; concerning which of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. That “tongue,” or “language,” in the internal sense, signifies opinion, thus principles and persuasions, is because there is a correspondence of the tongue with the intellectual part of man, or with his thought, like that of an effect with its cause. Such also is not only the influx of a man’s thoughts into the movements of the tongue in speaking, but also the influx of heaven, concerning which some things from experience, by the Divine mercy of the Lord, will be told elsewhere.

[2] That “families” in the internal sense signify uprightness, and also charity and love, comes from the fact that in the heavens all things which are of mutual love are circumstanced as are relationships by blood and by marriage, thus as families (see n. 685). In the Word therefore the things which pertain to love or charity are expressed by “houses,” and also by “families,” which it is unnecessary here to stop to confirm. (That such is the signification of a “house” may be seen at n. 710)

[3] That “nations” here signify both, in general, is evident from the signification of a nation, or nations, in the Word. In a good sense “nations” signify things of the new will and understanding, consequently the goods of love and truths of faith; but in the opposite sense they signify evils and falsities; and in like manner so also do “houses,” “families,” and “tongues,” as may be confirmed by very many passages from the Word. The reason is that the Most Ancient Church was distinguished into houses, families, and nations. A married pair with their children, and their menservants and maidservants, constituted a house; a number of houses that were not far distant from one another constituted a family; and a number of families, a nation. Hence “nations” signified all the families taken together in the aggregate. It is much the same in heaven; but the relation of all there is according to love and faith toward the Lord (see n. 685).

[4] From this then comes the signification of “nations” in the internal sense, as a general term comprising things of both the will and the understanding, or what is the same of both love and faith; but relatively to the families and houses of which they are composed. (See also what has been said before concerning this subject, n. 470, 471, 483.) It is evident from these considerations that “nations” signify both [opinion and uprightness] in general; and that “everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations,” signifies according to the genius of each man, family, and nation, to whom worship was derived from the Ancient Church.
