1 Y alzó Jacob sus pies, y fue a la tierra de los orientales.

2 Y miró, y vio un pozo en el campo; y he aquí tres rebaños de ovejas que yacían cerca de él; porque de aquel pozo abrevaban los ganados; y había una gran piedra sobre la boca del pozo.

3 Y se juntaban allí todos los rebaños; y revolvían la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, y abrevaban las ovejas; y volvían la piedra sobre la boca del pozo a su lugar.

4 Y les dijo Jacob: Hermanos míos, ¿de dónde sois? Y ellos respondieron: De Harán somos.

5 Y él les dijo: ¿Conocéis a Labán, hijo de Nacor? Y ellos dijeron: Sí, le conocemos.

6 Y él les dijo: ¿Tiene paz? Y ellos dijeron: Paz; y he aquí Raquel su hija viene con el ganado.

7 Y él dijo: He aquí el día es aún grande; no es tiempo todavía de recoger el ganado; abrevad las ovejas, e id a apacentarlas.

8 Y ellos respondieron: No podemos, hasta que se junten todos los rebaños, y remuevan la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, para que abrevemos las ovejas.

9 Estando aún él hablando con ellos, Raquel vino con el ganado de su padre, porque ella era la pastora.

10 Y sucedió que , cuando Jacob vio a Raquel, hija de Labán, hermano de su madre, y a las ovejas de Labán, el hermano de su madre, se acercó Jacob, y removió la piedra de sobre la boca del pozo, y abrevó el ganado de Labán, hermano de su madre.

11 Y Jacob besó a Raquel, y alzó su voz, y lloró.

12 Y Jacob dijo a Raquel como él era hermano de su padre, y como era hijo de Rebeca; y ella corrió, y dio las nuevas a su padre.

13 Y así que oyó Labán las nuevas de Jacob, hijo de su hermana, corrió a recibirlo, y lo abrazó, y lo besó, y lo trajo a su casa; y él contó a Labán todas estas cosas.

14 Y Labán le dijo: Ciertamente hueso mío y carne mía eres. Y estuvo con él un mes de días.

15 Entonces dijo Labán a Jacob: ¿Por ser tú mi hermano, me has de servir de balde? Declárame qué será tu salario.

16 Y Labán tenía dos hijas: el nombre de la mayor era Lea, y el nombre de la menor, Raquel.

17 Y los ojos de Lea eran tiernos, pero Raquel era de lindo semblante y de hermoso parecer.

18 Y Jacob amó a Raquel, y dijo: Yo te serviré siete años por Raquel, tu hija menor.

19 Y Labán respondió: Mejor es que te la dé a ti, y no que la dé a otro hombre; estáte conmigo.

20 Así sirvió Jacob por Raquel siete años; y le parecieron como pocos días, porque la amaba.

21 Y dijo Jacob a Labán: Dame mi mujer, porque mi tiempo es cumplido para que entre a ella.

22 Entonces Labán juntó a todos los varones de aquel lugar, e hizo banquete.

23 Y sucedió que a la noche tomó a Lea su hija, y se la trajo; y él entró a ella.

24 Y dio Labán su sierva Zilpa a su hija Lea por criada.

25 Y venida la mañana, he aquí que era Lea; y él dijo a Labán: ¿Qué es esto que me has hecho? ¿No te he servido por Raquel? ¿Por qué, pues, me has engañado?

26 Y Labán respondió: No se hace así en nuestro lugar, que se dé la menor antes de la mayor.

27 Cumple la semana de ésta, y se te dará también la otra, por el servicio que hicieres conmigo otros siete años.

28 E hizo Jacob así, y cumplió la semana de aquella; y él le dio a Raquel su hija por mujer.

29 Y dio Labán a Raquel su hija por criada a su sierva Bilha.

30 Y entró también a Raquel; y la amó también más que a Lea; y sirvió con él aún otros siete años.

31 Y vio el SEÑOR que Lea era aborrecida, y abrió su matriz; pero Raquel era estéril.

32 Y concibió Lea, y dio a luz un hijo, y llamó su nombre Rubén, porque dijo: Porque vio el SEÑOR mi aflicción; ahora por tanto me amará mi marido.

33 Y concibió otra vez, y dio a luz un hijo, y dijo: Por cuanto oyó el SEÑOR que yo era aborrecida, me ha dado también éste. Y llamó su nombre Simeón.

34 Y concibió otra vez, y dio a luz un hijo, y dijo: Ahora esta vez será juntado mi marido conmigo, porque le he dado a luz tres hijos: por tanto, llamó su nombre Leví.

35 Y concibió otra vez, y dio a luz un hijo, y dijo: Esta vez alabaré al SEÑOR; por esto llamó su nombre Judá; y dejó de dar a luz.

3809. 'And brought him to his house' means to their being joined together. This is clear from the meaning of 'bringing to the house' as taking to oneself, for in the internal sense a person himself is called 'a house', see 3128, 3242, 3538. He is so called by virtue of good, which strictly speaking is 'the house', 2233, 2331, 3652, 3720. In this case therefore a bringing to the good represented by 'Laban' is meant. That being so, 'bringing to his house' here means a joining together. This verse in the internal sense describes the whole process by which natural good meant by 'Jacob' is joined to a parallel good meant by 'Laban'. The following five phases constitute that process: Mutual acknowledgement, agreement, affection, an initial stage to a joining together, and actual joining together. Mutual acknowledgement was meant by 'Rachel ran and told her father' and by 'Laban heard the news about Jacob his sister's son', dealt with in 3804, 3805: agreement by 'Laban ran to meet him', dealt with in 3806: affection by 'Laban embraced him', dealt with in 3807: the initial stage to a joining together by 'he kissed him', dealt with in 3808: and the joining together by 'he brought him to his house', dealt with in this paragraph.

3652. The internal sense of these words is as follows:

When therefore you see the abomination of desolation means when the Church has undergone vastation, which is the situation when the Lord is acknowledged no longer, and therefore when there is no love of Him nor any belief in Him; also when there is no longer any charity towards the neighbour nor consequently any belief in what is good and true. When these conditions exist in the Church, or rather in the area where the Word is, that is to say, in the thoughts of the heart though not in the doctrine on the lips, it is a case of desolation, and the circumstances that have just been mentioned constitute 'the abomination of that desolation'. Consequently 'when you see the abomination of desolation' means when anyone witnesses such conditions. And what he is to do when he does witness them follows in verses 16-18.

[2] Spoken of by the prophet Daniel means, in the internal sense, spoken of by the Prophets, for when any prophet is mentioned by name in the Word it is not simply that prophet who is meant but the whole prophetical part of the Word, the reason being that names do not ever come through into heaven, 1876, 1888. Even so, one prophet does not have the same meaning as another. For what Moses, Elijah and Elisha mean, see the Preface to Chapter 18, and 2762. By 'Daniel' however is meant every prophetical statement concerning the Lord's coming and the state of the Church, in this case its final state. Much reference is made in the Prophets to vastation, and by the reference to it here in Daniel is meant in the sense of the letter the vastation of the Jewish and Israelitish Church, but in the internal sense the vastation of the Church in general, and thus also the vastation of it which is now at hand.

[3] Standing in the holy place means a vastation involving everything that forms part of what is good and true. 'The holy place' is a state of love and faith, for by 'a place' in the internal sense is meant a state, see 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387. The 'holy' element of that state consists in the good of love and in the truth of faith grounded in this. Nothing else is meant in the Word by the expression 'holy', for goodness and truth originate in the Lord, who is Holiness itself or the Sanctuary.

Let him who is reading this take note means that these matters are to be thoroughly understood by those within the Church, especially by those who have love and faith, to whom the present words refer.

[4] Then let those who are in Judea flee into the mountains means that members of the Church are to fix their attention solely on the Lord and so on love to Him and on charity towards the neighbour. For 'Judea' means the Church, as will be shown below, while 'a mountain' means the Lord Himself but 'the mountains' love to Him and charity towards the neighbour, see 795, 796, 1430, 2722. According to the sense of the letter when Jerusalem was besieged, as was done by the Romans, they were not to resort to that city but to go onto the mountains, according to the following in Luke,

When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its devastation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee onto the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of it 1 depart, but those who are out in the country let them not enter it. Luke 21:20-21.

[5] The same applies to this reference to Jerusalem; that is to say, in the sense of the letter it is the city of Jerusalem that is meant, but in the internal sense the Lord's Church, see 402, 2117. For every single thing mentioned in the Word concerning the Jewish and Israelitish people is representative of the Lord's kingdom in heaven and of the Lord's kingdom on earth, which is the Church, as has been shown often. Consequently nowhere in the internal sense is 'Jerusalem' used to mean Jerusalem, or 'Judea' to mean Judea. But every single thing so mentioned was such that by means of it the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom were able to be represented. It was for the sake of what they represented that the events which have been recorded took place. Thus the Word was able to be written in such a way that it lay both within the mental grasp of people reading it, and within the understanding of angels who were present with them. This was also the reason why the Lord spoke in a similar way. Indeed if He had spoken in any other way it would not have come within the mental grasp of those reading it, especially at that time, nor simultaneously within the angels' power of understanding. Thus it would not have been accepted by man, nor understood by angels.

[6] Let him who is on the roof of the house not go down to take anything out of his house means that those in whom the good of charity is present should not therefore resort to matters of doctrine concerning faith. 'The roof of the house' in the Word means a person's higher state, and so his state as regards good, whereas what is below means a person's lower state, and so his state as regards truth. For what 'house' is, see 710, 1708, 2233, 2331, 3142, 3538. With regard to the state of a member of the Church, while he is undergoing regeneration he is at that time learning truth for the sake of good; for he possesses an affection for truth for the sake of that good. But once he has been regenerated truth and good are the basis of his actions. Once he has reached this state he ought not to go back to the previous state, for if he did he would then reason from truth about the good which is present with him and in so doing would pervert his present state. For all reasoning does and must come to an end when a person's state is one in which he wills what is true and good, for in that case the will and therefore conscience are the source of his thought and action, and not the understanding, as it had been previously. If he went back to the understanding as the source of his thought and action he would encounter temptations in which he would go under. These are the considerations meant by the statement 'let him who is on the roof of the house not go down to take anything out of his house'.

[7] And let him who is in the field not turn back to get his clothing (or tunic) means that neither should those in whom good that resides in truth is present forsake such good and resort to doctrine concerning truth. 'The field' in the Word means this state of man as regards good; for what 'field' means, see 368, 2971, 3196, 3310, 3317, 3500, 3508. And 'clothing' or tunic means that which clothes good, namely doctrine concerning truth, such being like clothing for good; for 'clothing' has that meaning, see 297, 1073, 2576, 3301. Anyone may see that deeper things lie concealed in these words than are visible in the letter; for the Lord Himself spoke them.
