പഠനം

   

1 At si Abraham ay nagasawa ng iba, at ang pangalan ay Cetura.

2 At naging anak nito sa kaniya si Zimram at si Joksan, at si Medan, at si Midiam, at si Ishbak, at si Sua.

3 At naging anak ni Joksan si Seba at si Dedan. At ang mga anak na lalake ni Dedan, ay si Assurim at si Letusim, at si Leummim.

4 At ang mga anak ni Midian: si Epha at si Epher, at si Enech, at si Abida, at si Eldaa. Lahat ng ito ay mga anak ni Cetura.

5 At ibinigay ni Abraham ang lahat ng kaniyang tinatangkilik kay Isaac.

6 Datapuwa't ang mga anak ng naging mga babae ni Abraham, ay pinagbibigyan ni Abraham ng mga kaloob; at samantalang nabubuhay pa siya ay mga inilayo niya kay Isaac na kaniyang anak sa dakong silanganan sa lupaing silanganan.

7 At ito ang mga araw ng mga taon ng buhay na ikinabuhay ni Abraham, isang daan at pitong pu't limang taon.

8 At nalagot ang hininga ni Abraham at namatay sa mabuting katandaan, matanda at puspos ng mga taon; at nalakip sa kaniyang bayan.

9 At inilibing siya ni Isaac at ni Ismael na kaniyang mga anak sa yungib ng Macpela, sa parang ni Ephron, na anak ni Zohar na Hetheo, na nasa tapat ng Mamre;

10 Sa parang na binili ni Abraham sa mga anak ni Heth: doon inilibing si Abraham at si Sara na kaniyang asawa.

11 At nangyari, pagkamatay ni Abraham, na pinagpala ng Dios si Isaac na kaniyang anak; at si Isaac ay nanahan sa tabi ng Beer-lahai-roi.

12 Ang mga ito nga ang sali't saling lahi ni Ismael, anak ni Abraham, na naging anak kay Abraham ni Agar na taga Egipto, na alila ni Sara:

13 At ito ang mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Ismael, ayon sa kanikaniyang lahi: ang panganay ni Ismael ay si Nabaioth; at si Cedar, at si Adbeel, at si Mibsam,

14 At si Misma, at si Duma, at si Maasa,

15 At si Hadad, at si Tema, si Jetur, si Naphis, at si Cedema:

16 Ito ang mga anak ni Ismael, at ito ang kanikaniyang pangalan, ayon sa kanikaniyang nayon, at ayon sa kanikaniyang hantungan: labing dalawang pangulo ayon sa kanilang bansa.

17 At ito ang mga naging taon ng buhay ni Ismael, isang daan at tatlong pu't pitong taon; at nalagot ang hininga at namatay; at siya'y nalakip sa kaniyang bayan.

18 At nagsisitahan sila mula sa Havila hanggang sa Shur, na natatapat sa Egipto, kung patutungo sa Asiria; siya'y tumahan sa harap ng lahat niyang mga kapatid.

19 At ito ang mga sali't saling lahi ni Isaac, na anak ni Abraham: naging anak ni Abraham si Isaac,

20 At si Isaac ay may apat na pung taon, nang siya'y magasawa kay Rebeca, na anak ni Bethuel na taga Siria sa Padan-aram, kapatid na babae ni Laban na taga Siria.

21 At nanalangin si Isaac sa Panginoon dahil sa kaniyang asawa, sapagka't baog; at nadalanginan niya ang Panginoon, at si Rebeca na kaniyang asawa ay naglihi.

22 At nagbubuno ang mga bata sa loob niya; at kaniyang sinabi, Kung ganito'y bakit nabubuhay pa ako? At siya'y yumaong nagsiyasat sa Panginoon.

23 At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Dalawang bansa ay nasa iyong bahay-bata, At dalawang bayan ay papaghihiwalayin mula sa iyong tiyan: At ang isang bayan ay magiging malakas kaysa isang bayan; At ang matanda ay maglilingkod sa bata.

24 At nang matupad ang mga araw ng kaniyang kapanganakan, narito't kambal sa kaniyang bahay-bata.

25 At ang unang lumabas ay mapula na buong katawa'y parang mabalahibong damit; at siya'y pinanganlang Esau.

26 At pagkatapos ay lumabas ang kaniyang kapatid, at ang kaniyang kamay ay nakakapit sa sakong ni Esau; at ipinangalan sa kaniya ay Jacob: at si Isaac ay may anim na pung taon na, nang sila'y ipanganak ni Rebeca.

27 At nagsilaki ang mga bata; at si Esau ay naging maliksi sa pangangaso, lalake sa parang; at si Jacob ay lalaking tahimik, na tumatahan sa mga tolda.

28 Minamahal nga ni Isaac si Esau, sapagka't kumakain ng kaniyang pinangangasuhan: at minamahal ni Rebeca si Jacob.

29 At nagluto si Jacob ng lutuin: at dumating si Esau na galing sa parang, at siya'y nanglalambot:

30 At sinabi ni Esau kay Jacob, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo na pakanin mo ako niyaong mapulang lutuin; sapagka't ako'y nanglalambot: kaya't tinawag ang pangalan niya na Edom.

31 At sinabi ni Jacob, Ipagbili mo muna sa akin ang iyong pagkapanganay.

32 At sinabi ni Esau, Narito, ako'y namamatay: at saan ko mapapakinabangan ang pagkapanganay?

33 At sinabi ni Jacob, Isumpa mo muna sa akin; at isinumpa niya sa kaniya: at kaniyang ipinagbili ang kaniyang pagkapanganay kay Jacob.

34 At binigyan ni Jacob si Esau ng tinapay at nilutong lentehas; at siya'y kumain, at uminom, at bumangon at yumaon: gayon niwalang halaga ni Esau ang kaniyang pagkapanganay.

3246. And to the sons of the concubines that Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts. That this signifies the spiritual adopted by the Lord’s Divine Human, that they have allotted places in His spiritual kingdom, is evident from the signification of the “sons of the concubines,” as denoting those who are spiritual (concerning whom in what follows); from the representation here of Abraham, as being the Lord’s Divine Human; so that by the words “which Abraham had,” is signified that they (namely, the spiritual) were adopted by the Lord’s Divine Human; and from the signification of the “gifts” which Abraham gave them, as being allotted places in the Lord’s spiritual kingdom.

[2] From what has already been shown in several places (as n. 3235, and elsewhere) concerning those who constitute the Lord’s spiritual kingdom and are called the spiritual, it can be seen that they are not sons born of the marriage itself of good and truth, but of a certain covenant not so conjugial; they are indeed from the same father, but not from the same mother; that is, they are from the same Divine good, but not from the same Divine truth. For as the celestial are from the very marriage of good and truth, they have good and thence truth; wherefore they never inquire what is true, but perceive it from good; and they discourse not about truth beyond affirming that it is so-according to what the Lord teaches in Matthew:

Let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, Nay; for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil (Matthew 5:37); whereas the spiritual, because they are from a covenant not so conjugial, do not know from any perception what truth is, but call that true which they have been told to be so by parents and masters; and therefore in them there is not the marriage of good and truth; but still the truth which they thus believe is adopted by the Lord for truth when they are in the good of life (concerning this see n. 1832). Therefore it is that those who are spiritual are here called the “sons of the concubines,” and by these are meant all the sons of Keturah hitherto enumerated, and also the sons of Hagar, who will be named immediately below, from the twelfth to the eighteenth verse.

[3] In former times, in order that both the celestial and the spiritual might be represented in marriages, it was permissible for a man to have a concubine in addition to a wife; such concubine being given to the husband by the wife, and she was then called his “woman,” or was said to be “given to him for a woman,” as when Hagar the Egyptian was given to Abraham by Sarah (Genesis 16:3); when Bilhah the handmaid was given by Rachel to Jacob (Genesis 30:4), and the handmaid Zilpah to Jacob by Leah (Genesis 30:9). They are there called “women,” but elsewhere they are called “concubines,” as Hagar the Egyptian in this verse, and Bilhah in Genesis 35:22, also Keturah herself in 1 Chronicles 1:32.

[4] That those ancients had concubines besides a wife, as was the case not only with Abraham and Jacob, but also with their descendants, as Gideon (Judges 8:31), Saul (2 Samuel 3:7), David (2 Samuel 5:13; 15:16), and Solomon (1 Kings 11:3), was of permission, for the sake of the representation, namely, of the celestial church by a wife, and of the spiritual church by a concubine: this was of permission because they were such that they had no conjugial love, neither was marriage to them marriage, but only a carnal coupling for the sake of procreating offspring. To such there might be permissions without injury to conjugial love, and consequently to its covenant; but never to those who are in good and truth, and who are or can become internal men; for as soon as man is in good and truth, and in things internal, such things cease. For this reason it is not allowable for Christians, as it was for the Jews, to take to themselves a concubine together with a wife, for this is adultery. That the spiritual were adopted by the Lord’s Divine Human, may be seen from what has been stated and shown before on the same subject (n. 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834).

2661. On account of his son. That this signifies on this account, that He loved it, namely, the first rational, is evident from the signification of the “son,” namely, that of the handmaid, as being the merely human or first rational, described before. Although the cause of this grief is not told, it is evident from what follows. That the cause is the love is plain enough, for it is said “on account of his son;” and the same son is treated of in what follows, from verse 13 to 21 verse 21. Nevertheless in order that it may be known why there was this grief, or on what account it is said that the word was very evil in Abraham’s eyes on account of his son; take these few things by way of illustration.

[2] The Lord did not come into the world to save the celestial, but the spiritual. The Most Ancient Church, called “Man,” was celestial; and if this church had remained in its integrity, the Lord would have had no need to be born a man. But as soon as this church began to decline, the Lord foresaw that the celestial church would wholly perish from the world; and on that account the prediction was then made concerning the Lord’s coming into the world (Genesis 3:15). After the time of that church there was no longer a celestial church, but a spiritual church; for the Ancient Church which was after the flood (spoken of many times in Part First) was a spiritual church; and this church, that is, those who were of the spiritual church, could not have been saved unless the Lord had come into the world. This is meant by the Lord’s words in Matthew:

They that are well have no need of a physician, but they that are sick; I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance (Matthew 9:12-13).

Also by these words in John:

And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd (John 10:16).

Also by the parable of the hundred sheep, in Matthew 18:11-13.

[3] Now as by Isaac is represented the Lord’s Divine rational, and as by him are also signified the celestial who are called “heirs;” and as by Ishmael is represented the Lord’s merely human rational, and as by him are also signified the spiritual who are called “sons” (as is manifest from (2658) what was said above, n. 2658), this was the reason why the Lord felt grief from Divine love, as shown in the words of this verse; and also in those which follow from verse 13 to verse 21, where by Hagar’s son and the mother of that son is represented the spiritual church; and the state of this church, that is, the state of those who were of this church, is treated of (n. 2612). These arcana cannot as yet be set forth more fully; it may simply be said that with the Lord when in the world all the states of the church were represented, and also in what manner those who belonged to the church were to be saved by Him; and for this reason the same states of the church are likewise signified by these same names.
