1 Богъ сказалъ Іакову: встань, поди въ Веѕиль, и живи тамъ; и устрой тамъ жертвейникъ Богу, явившемуся тебј, когда ты бјжалъ отъ лица Исава, брата твоего.

2 И сказалъ Іаковъ дому своему, и всјмъ бывшимъ съ нимъ: бросьте боговъ чужихъ, находящихся у васъ, и очиститесь, и перемјните одежды ваши;

3 встанемъ и пойдемъ въ Веѕиль; тамъ устрою я жертвенникъ Богу, Который услышалъ меня въ день скорби моей, и былъ со мною въ пути, въ который я ходилъ.

4 И отдали Іакову всјхъ боговъ чужихъ, бывшихъ въ рукахъ ихъ, и серьги, бывшія въ ушахъ у нихъ; и закопалъ ихъ Іаковъ подъ терпентиномъ, который близъ Сихема.

5 Потомъ они отправилисъ. И былъ ужасъ Божій на окрестныхъ городахъ, и не преслјдовали сыновъ Іаковлевыхъ.

6 И пришелъ Іаковъ въ Лузъ, иначе Веѕиль, въ землј Ханаанской, самъ и всј люди бывшіе съ нимъ;

7 и устроилъ тамъ жертвенникъ, и назвалъ сіе мјсто: Эл-Веѕиль; ибо тутъ явился ему Богъ, когда онъ бјжалъ отъ лица брата своего.

8 Тогда умерла Девора. кормилица Реввекина, и погребена ниже Веѕиля подъ дубомъ, который и назвалъ Іаковъ дубомъ плача.

9 Опять явился Богъ Іакову, по возврашеніи его изъ Падан-Арама, и благословилъ его.

10 И сказалъ ему Богъ: имя твое Іаковъ. Отнынј ты не будешь называться Іаковомъ, но будетъ имя тебј Израиль. И нарекъ ему имя: Израилъ.

11 И сказалъ ему Богъ: Я Богъ Всемогущій. Плодись и умножайся. Народъ и множество народовъ произойдетъ отъ тебя, и цари выйдутъ изъ чреслъ твоихъ.

12 Землю, которую Я далъ Аврааму и Исааку, Я дамъ тебј, и потомству твоему по тебј дамъ землю сію.

13 И возшелъ отъ него Богъ, отъ мјста, на которомъ говорилъ ему.

14 И поставилъ Іаковъ памятникъ на мјстј. на которомъ говорилъ ему Богъ, памятникъ каменный; и возлилъ на него возліяніе, и возлилъ на него елей.

15 И нарекъ Іаковъ имя мјсту, на которомъ Богъ говорилъ ему: Веѕиль.

16 И отправились изъ Веѕиля. И когда еще оставалось нјкоторое пространство земли до Ефраѕы, Рахиль родила, и роды ея были трудны.

17 Когда же она страдала въ родахъ, повивальная бабка сказала ей: не бойся; ибо это еще тебј сынъ.

18 И когда выходила изъ ней душа, ибо она умирала, то нарекла ему имя: Бен-они. Но отецъ его назвалъ его Веніаминомъ.

19 И умерла Рахиль, и погребена на дорогј въ Ефраѕу, которая есть Виѕлеемъ.

20 Іаковъ поставилъ надъ гробомъ ея памятникъ. Сей памятникъ на гробј Рахилиномъ находится до сего дня.

21 И пошелъ Израиль далје, и раскинулъ шатеръ свой за башнею Гадеръ.

22 Во время пребыванія Израиля въ сей странј случилось, что Рувимъ пошелъ, и преспалъ съ Валлою, наложницею отца своего. И услышалъ Израиль. Сыновъ же у Іакова было двјнадцать.

23 Сыновья Ліи: первенецъ Іаковлевъ Рувимъ, по немъ Симеонъ, Левій, Іуда, Иссахаръ, и Завулонъ.

24 Сыновья Рахили: Іосифъ и Веніаминъ.

25 Сыновья Валлы, служанки Рахилиной: Данъ и Нефѕалимъ.

26 Сыновья Зелфы, служанки Ліиной: Гадъ и Ассиръ. Сіи суть сыновья Іакова, родившіеся ему въ Падан-Арамј.

27 И пришелъ Іаковъ къ Исааку, отцу своему, въ Мамре, въ Киріаѕ-Арбу, иначе Хевронъ, гдј странствовали Авраамъ и Исаакъ.

28 И было дней жизни Исааковой сто восемьдесятъ лјть.

29 И испустилъ Исаакъ духъ, и умеръ, и присоединился къ народу своему, будучи старъ и насыщенъ жизнію; и погребли его Исавъ и Іаковъ, сыновья его

4589. 'For this also is a son for you' means spiritual truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'a son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373, in this case spiritual truth since Benjamin is the son referred to here, who represents the spiritual of the celestial.

Arcana Coelestia #489

489. 'Sons and daughters' means the truths and goods which they perceived, 'sons to be exact meaning the truths and 'daughters' the goods. This becomes clear from very many places in the Prophets. For in the Word, as happened in earliest times, conceptions and births of the Church are called 'sons and daughters', as in Isaiah,

Nations will walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather and they come towards you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be nursed at your side. Then you will see and abound, and your heart will be astounded and enlarged. Isaiah 60:3-5.

Here 'sons' stands for truths and 'daughters' for goods.

In David,

Rescue me and snatch me from the hand of sons of the foreigner, whose mouths speak lies. Our sons are like plants made large in their youth, our daughters like corner-pillars cut in the form of the temple. Psalms 144:11-12.

'Sons of the foreigner' stands for spurious truths, which are falsities, 'our sons' for matters of doctrine concerning truth, and 'daughters' for matters of doctrine concerning good.

In Isaiah,

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Do not withhold. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the end of the earth. Bring forth the blind people, and they will have eyes, and the deaf, who will have ears. Isaiah 43:6, 8.

Here 'sons' stands for truths, 'daughters' for goods, 'the blind' for people who will see truths, and 'the deaf' for those who comply with them.

In Jeremiah,

From our youth shame is devouring the work of our fathers - their flocks, their herds, their sons, and their daughters. Jeremiah 3:24.

Here 'sons and daughters' stands for truths and goods.

[2] 'Male children' and 'sons' stand for truths in the following in Isaiah,

Jacob will no more be ashamed, and no more will his face grow pale. For when he sees his male children, the work of My hands, in his midst they will sanctify My name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and stand in awe of the God of Israel. Those who err in spirit will know understanding Isaiah 29:12-24.

'The Holy One of Jacob, the God of Israel' stands for the Lord, 'male children' for regenerate people who have an understanding of good and truth, as is also explicitly stated.

In the same prophet,

Sing, O barren one, who did not bear, for the sons of her that is desolate are more than the sons of her that is married. Isaiah 54:1

'The sons of her that is desolate' stands for truths of the Primitive Church, or Church among gentiles, while 'the sons of her that is married' stands for truths of the Jewish Church.

In Jeremiah,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My cords torn away; My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. Jeremiah 10:20.

'Sons' stands for truths.

In the same prophet,

Their sons will be as they were of old, and their congregation will be established before Me. Jeremiah 30:10

Here 'sons' stands for the truths of the Ancient Church.

In Zechariah,

I will rouse your sons, O Zion, together with your sons, O Jehovah, and I will set you as the sword of one who is powerful. Zechariah 9:13.

Here 'sons' stands for truths of faith inherent in love.
