1 Gia-cốp nhướng mắt lên và nhìn, kìa, Ê-sau dẫn bốn trăm người đi đến. Người bèn chia các con cho Lê-a, a-chên, và cho hai tên đòi;

2 sắp hai tên đòi và con cái họ ở trước; kế đến Lê-a và con cái nàng; a-chên cùng Giô-sép ở sau chót.

3 Còn người, thì đi trước họ và sấp mình xuống đất bảy lần cho đến khi tới gần anh mình.

4 Nhưng Ê-sau chạy đến trước mặt người, ôm choàng cổ mà hôn, rồi hai anh em đều khóc.

5 Ðoạn, Ê-sau nhướng mắt lên thấy mấy người đờn bà và con cái, thì hỏi rằng: Các người mà em có đó là ai? Ðáp rằng: Ấy là con cái mà Ðức Chúa Trời đã cho kẻ tôi tớ anh.

6 Hai tên đòi và con cái họ lại gần người, sấp mình xuống.

7 Lê-a và các con cái nàng cũng lại gần, sấp mình xuống; đoạn, a-chên và Giô-sép lại gần, và sấp mình xuống.

8 Ê-sau hỏi: Toán quân anh đã gặp đi trước đó, em tính làm chi? Ðáp rằng: Ấy để nhờ được ơn trước mặt chúa tôi.

9 Ê-sau nói: Hỡi em! anh đã được đủ rồi; vậy, hãy lấy lại vật chi của em đi.

10 Thưa rằng: Xin anh, không. Nếu em được ơn trước mặt anh, hãy nhậm lấy lễ vật bởi tay em làm ra đi; vì em thấy được mặt anh khác nào người ta thấy được mặt Ðức Chúa Trời, và anh đã đẹp lòng tiếp rước em.

11 Xin anh hãy nhậm lấy lễ vật em đã dâng cho anh, vì Ðức Chúa Trời cho em đầy dẫy ân huệ, và em có đủ hết. Người nài xin Ê-sau quá đến đỗi phải chịu nhậm lấy.

12 Ê-sau nói: Hè, ta hãy lên đường! Anh sẽ đi trước em.

13 Gia-cốp đáp: Chúa biết rằng các đứa trả yếu lắm, và em lại mắc coi chừng chiên và bò cái đương có con bú; nếu ép đi mau chỉ trong một ngày, chắc cả bầy phải chết hết.

14 Xin chúa hãy đi trước kẻ tôi tớ chúa, còn tôi sẽ đi tới chậm chậm theo bước một của súc vật đi trước và của các trẻ, cho đến chừng nào tới nhà chúa tại xứ Sê -i-rơ.

15 Ê-sau nói: Vậy, anh xin để lại cùng em một vài người tùy tùng của anh. Gia-cốp đáp rằng: Chi vậy? miễn em được nhờ ơn trước mặt chúa thôi!

16 Nội ngày đó, Ê-sau bắt đường trở về Sê -i-rơ.

17 Gia-cốp đi đến Su-cốt; bèn cất một nhà cho mình ở, và mấy cái lều cho súc vật; cho nên họ đặt tên chốn nầy là Su-cốt.

18 Gia-cốp ở xứ Pha-ran-a-ram đến thành Si-chem thuộc về xứ Ca-na-an, được bình an. Người đóng tại trước thành,

19 bèn mua miếng đất chỗ người đóng trại, giá một trăm miếng bạc của con Hê-mô, cha Si-chem.

20 Nơi đó người lập một bàn thờ, đặt trên là En-Eân-ô-hê -Y-sơ-ra-ên.

6307. Continuation about influx, and about the interaction of the soul and the body.

That there is an influx from the spiritual world through angels and spirits into the affections and thoughts, has been given me to know so manifestly by the experience of many years, that nothing can be more manifest. I have felt the influx, not only as to the thoughts, but also as to the affections and when evils and falsities were flowing in, I was given to know from what hells they came; and when goods and truths, from what angels. This experience has consequently become so familiar to me that at last I have been able to know whence came every one of my thoughts and affections; and nevertheless my thoughts have been just like those which I had before.

Genesis 34

പഠനം

   

1 Dinah, the daughter of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

2 Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, the prince of the land, saw her. He took her, lay with her, and humbled her.

3 His soul joined to Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the young lady, and spoke kindly to the young lady.

4 Shechem spoke to his father, Hamor, saying, "Get me this young lady as a wife."

5 Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah, his daughter; and his sons were with his livestock in the field. Jacob held his peace until they came.

6 Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to talk with him.

7 The sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it. The men were grieved, and they were very angry, because he had done folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter; a which thing ought not to be done.

8 Hamor talked with them, saying, "The soul of my son, Shechem, longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

9 Make marriages with us. Give your daughters to us, and take our daughters for yourselves.

10 You shall dwell with us, and the land will be before you. Live and trade in it, and get possessions in it."

11 Shechem said to her father and to her brothers, "Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you will tell me I will give.

12 Ask me a great amount for a dowry, and I will give whatever you ask of me, but give me the young lady as a wife."

13 The sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father with deceit, and spoke, because he had defiled Dinah their sister,

14 and said to them, "We can't do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised; for that is a reproach to us.

15 Only on this condition will we consent to you. If you will be as we are, that every male of you be circumcised;

16 then will we give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

17 But if you will not listen to us, to be circumcised, then we will take our sister, and we will be gone."

18 Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

19 The young man didn't wait to do this thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was honored above all the house of his father.

20 Hamor and Shechem, his son, came to the gate of their city, and talked with the men of their city, saying,

21 "These men are peaceful with us. Therefore let them live in the land and trade in it. For behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.

22 Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people, if every male among us is circumcised, as they are circumcised.

23 Won't their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? Only let us give our consent to them, and they will dwell with us."

24 All who went out of the gate of his city listened to Hamor, and to Shechem his son; and every male was circumcised, all who went out of the gate of his city.

25 It happened on the third day, when they were sore, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword, came upon the unsuspecting city, and killed all the males.

26 They killed Hamor and Shechem, his son, with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went away.

27 Jacob's sons came on the dead, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

28 They took their flocks, their herds, their donkeys, that which was in the city, that which was in the field,

29 and all their wealth. They took captive all their little ones and their wives, and took as plunder everything that was in the house.

30 Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have troubled me, to make me odious to the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I am few in number. They will gather themselves together against me and strike me, and I will be destroyed, I and my house."

31 They said, "Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?"
