1 Und du, Menschensohn, nimm dir einen Ziegelstein und lege ihn vor dich hin, und zeichne darauf eine Stadt, Jerusalem.

2 Und mache eine Belagerung wider sie, und baue Belagerungstürme wider sie, und schütte wider sie einen Wall auf, und stelle Heerlager wider sie, und errichte Sturmböcke wider sie ringsum.

3 Und du, nimm dir eine eiserne Pfanne und stelle sie als eine eiserne Mauer zwischen dich und die Stadt; und richte dein Angesicht gegen sie, daß sie in Belagerung sei und du sie belagerst. Das sei ein Wahrzeichen dem Hause Israel. -

4 Und du, lege dich auf deine linke Seite und lege darauf die Ungerechtigkeit des Hauses Israel: Nach der Zahl der Tage, die du darauf liegst, sollst du ihre Ungerechtigkeit tragen.

5 Denn ich habe dir die Jahre ihrer Ungerechtigkeit zu einer Anzahl Tage gemacht: Dreihundertneunzig Tage; und du sollst die Ungerechtigkeit des Hauses Israel tragen.

6 Und hast du diese vollendet, so lege dich zum zweiten auf deine rechte Seite und trage die Ungerechtigkeit des Hauses Juda vierzig Tage; je einen Tag für ein Jahr habe ich dir auferlegt. -

7 Und du sollst dein Angesicht und deinen entblößten Arm gegen die Belagerung Jerusalems hin richten, und du sollst wider dasselbe weissagen.

8 Und siehe, ich lege dir Stricke an, daß du dich nicht von einer Seite auf die andere wirst umwenden können, bis du die Tage deiner Belagerung vollendet hast.

9 Und du, nimm dir Weizen und Gerste und Bohnen und Linsen und Hirse und Spelt, und tue sie in ein Gefäß; und mache dir Brot daraus, nach der Zahl der Tage, die du auf deiner Seite liegst: Dreihundertneunzig Tage sollst du davon essen.

10 Und deine Speise, die du essen wirst, soll nach dem Gewicht sein: zwanzig Sekel für den Tag; von Zeit zu Zeit sollst du davon essen.

11 Und Wasser sollst du nach dem Maße trinken: ein sechstel Hin; von Zeit zu Zeit sollst du trinken.

12 Und wie Gerstenkuchen sollst du sie essen, und du sollst sie auf Ballen von Menschenkot vor ihren Augen backen.

13 Und Jehova sprach: Also werden die Kinder Israel ihr Brot unrein essen unter den Nationen, wohin ich sie vertreiben werde. -

14 Da sprach ich: Ach, Herr, Jehova! Siehe, meine Seele ist nie verunreinigt worden, und weder Aas noch Zerrissenes habe ich gegessen von meiner Jugend an bis jetzt, und kein Greuelfleisch ist in meinen Mund gekommen.

15 Und er sprach zu mir: Siehe, ich habe dir Rindermist statt Menschenkot gestattet; und darauf magst du dein Brot bereiten.

16 Und er sprach zu mir: Menschensohn, siehe, ich will in Jerusalem den Stab des Brotes zerbrechen; und sie werden Brot essen nach dem Gewicht und in Angst, und Wasser trinken nach dem Maße und in Entsetzen,

17 weil Brot und Wasser mangeln werden, und sie miteinander verschmachten und in ihrer Ungerechtigkeit hinschwinden werden.

3332. 'Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil pottage' means that the good of life was given the good of truth and the good of doctrine. This is clear from the representation of 'Esau' as the good of life, dealt with in 3300, 3322; from the meaning of 'bread' as in general the good of love - both celestial and spiritual good - dealt with in 276, 680, 2165, 2177, and so also the good of truth, this being spiritual good; and from the meaning of 'lentil pottage' as the good of doctrine, for 'pottage' or soup means the massing together of matters of doctrine, 3316, but 'lentils' the good that exists essentially in these. Jacob's giving them to Esau means in the internal sense that those goods come through the doctrine of truth, which Jacob represents, 3305.

[2] These words and those that follow in this final verse describe progress made in regard to truth and good. They describe the situation with the spiritual man while being regenerated, that is to say, how he first learns matters of doctrine concerning truth; how next he is stirred by an affection for them, which is the good of doctrine; how after that, through insight into the matters of doctrine, he is stirred by an affection for the truths which they hold within them, which is the good of truth; and how at length he desires to live according to them, which is the good of life. Thus while undergoing regeneration the spiritual man advances from the doctrine of truth towards the good of life. But once he has reached that point the order is reversed - that good is the point from which he sees the good of truth, the latter the point from which he sees the good of doctrine, and this good in turn the point from which he sees matters of doctrine concerning truth. From these considerations it may be known how, from being sensory-minded, a person becomes spiritual, and what he is like when he has become spiritual.

[3] Those varieties of good, that is to say, the good of life, the good of truth, and the good of doctrine, are all distinct from one another, as becomes clear to those who weigh the matter up. The good of life is that which issues from the will, the good of truth that which issues from the understanding, while the good of doctrine is that which issues from knowledge. Doctrinal teaching is such that it includes all three. It is clear that 'lentils' means the good of doctrine from the fact that wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt are such things as are meant by bread, though with specific differences. The fact that 'bread' in general means good is evident from what has been stated and shown in 276, 680, 2165, 2177; and so specific kinds of good are meant by the grains and beans that have been mentioned - nobler kinds of good by wheat and barley, but less noble by beans and lentils, as also becomes evident from these words in Ezekiel,

You, take for yourself wheat and barley, and beans and lentils, and millet and spelt, and put them into a single vessel, and make them into bread for yourself. Ezekiel 4:9, 12-13.

Genesis 25

Учиться

   

1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

4 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

6 but to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

8 Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,

10 the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

11 It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If it be so, why do I live?" She went to inquire of Yahweh.

23 Yahweh said to her, "Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger."

24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
