창세기 34

Studie

   

1 레아가 야곱에게 낳은 딸 디나가 그 땅 여자를 보러 나갔더니

2 히위 족속 중 하몰의 아들 그 땅 추장 세겜이 그를 보고 끌어들여 강간하여 욕되게 하고

3 그 마음이 깊이 야곱의 딸 디나에게 연련하며 그 소녀를 사랑하여 그의 마음을 말로 위로하고

4 그 아비 하몰에게 청하여 가로되 `이 소녀를 내 아내로 얻게 하여 주소서' 하였더라

5 야곱이 그 딸 디나를 그가 더럽혔다 함을 들었으나 자기 아들들이 들에서 목축하므로 그들의 돌아오기까지 잠잠하였고

6 세겜의 아비 하몰은 야곱에게 말하러 왔으며

7 야곱의 아들들은 들에서 이를 듣고 돌아와서 사람 사람이 근심하고 심히 노하였으니 이는 세겜이 야곱의 딸을 강간하여 이스라엘에게 부끄러운 일 곧 행치 못할 일을 행하였음이더라

8 하몰이 그들에게 이르되 `내 아들 세겜이 마음으로 너희 딸을 연련하여 하니 원컨대 그를 세겜에게 주어 아내를 삼게 하라

9 너희가 우리와 통혼하여 너희 딸을 우리에게 주며 우리 딸을 너희가 취하고

10 너희가 우리와 함께 거하되 땅이 너희 앞에 있으니 여기 머물러 매매하며 여기서 기업을 얻으라' 하고

11 세겜도 디나의 아비와 남형들에게 이르되 `나로 너희에게 은혜를 입게 하라 너희가 내게 청구하는 것은 내가 수응하리니

12 이 소녀만 내게 주어 아내가 되게 하라 아무리 큰 빙물과 예물을 청구할지라도 너희가 내게 말한대로 수응하리라'

13 야곱의 아들들이 세겜과 그 아비 하몰에게 속여 대답하였으니 이는 세겜이 그 누이 디나를 더럽혔음이라

14 야곱의 아들들이 그들에게 말하되 `우리는 그리하지 못하겠노라 할례 받지 아니한 사람에게 우리 누이를 줄 수 없노니 이는 우리의 수욕이 됨이니라

15 그런즉 이같이 하면 너희에게 허락하리라 만일 너희 중 남자가 다 할례를 받고 우리 같이 되면

16 우리 딸을 너희에게 주며 너희 딸을 우리가 취하며 너희가 함께 거하여 한 민족이 되려니와

17 너희가 만일 우리를 듣지 아니하고 할례를 받지 아니하면 우리는 곧 우리 딸을 데리고 가리라'

18 그들의 말을 하몰과 그 아들 세겜이 좋게 여기므로

19 이 소년이 그 일 행하기를 지체치 아니하였으니 그가 야곱의 딸을 사랑함이며 그는 그 아비 집에 가장 존귀함일러라

20 하몰과 그 아들 세겜이 성문에 이르러 그 고을 사람에게 말하여 가로되

21 `이 사람들은 우리와 친목하고 이 땅은 넓어 그들을 용납할 만하니 그들로 여기서 거주하며 매매하게 하고 우리가 그들의 딸들을 아내로 취하고 우리 딸들도 그들에게 주자

22 그러나 우리 중에 모든 남자가 그들의 할례를 받음 같이 할례를 받아야 그 사람들이 우리와 함께 거하여 한 민족 되기를 허락할 것이라

23 그리하면 그들의 생축과 재산과 그 모든 짐승이 우리의 소유가 되지 않겠느냐 ? 다만 그 말대로 하자 그리하면 그들이 우리와 함께 거하리라'

24 성문으로 출입하는 모든 자가 하몰과 그 아들 세겜의 말을 듣고 성문으로 출입하는 그 모든 남자가 할례를 받으니라

25 제 삼일에 미쳐 그들이 고통할 때에 야곱의 두 아들 디나의 오라비 시므온과 레위가 각기 칼을 가지고 가서 부지중에 성을 엄습하여 그 모든 남자를 죽이고

26 칼로 하몰과 그 아들 세겜을 죽이고 디나를 세겜의 집에서 데려오고

27 야곱의 여러 아들이 그 시체있는 성으로 가서 노략하였으니 이는 그들이 그 누이를 더럽힌 연고라

28 그들이 양과, 소와, 나귀와, 그 성에 있는 것과, 들에 있는 것과,

29 그 모든 재물을 빼앗으며 그 자녀와 아내들을 사로잡고 집 속의 물건을 다 노략한지라

30 야곱이 시므온과 레위에게 이르되 너희가 내게 화를 끼쳐 나로 이 땅 사람 곧 가나안 족속과 브리스 족속에게 냄새를 내게 하였도다 나는 수가 적은즉 그들이 모여 나를 치고 나를 죽이리니 그리하면 나와 내 집이 멸망하리라

31 그들이 가로되 `그가 우리 누이를 창녀같이 대우함이 가하니이까 ?'

4316. In the internal historical sense 'even to this day' means that their nature was perpetually so. This is clear from the meaning of 'even to this day', when used in the Word, as that which is perpetual, dealt with in 2838. The fact that the nature of those descendants was such from earliest times becomes clear from Jacob's sons themselves - from Reuben, in that he lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, Genesis 35:22; from Simeon and Levi, in that they killed Hamor and Shechem and all the men of their city [Genesis 34:25-26]; and from the remaining sons, in that these came on the slain and destroyed the city, Genesis 34:27-29. Because of all this Jacob, who by then was Israel, spoke of them in the following manner before he died: Of Reuben he said,

You shall not be a superior one, for you went up to your father's bed; then you made yourself unworthy. He went up to my couch. Genesis 49:3-4.

And of Simeon and Levi he said,

Into their secret place let my soul not come; with their congregation let not my glory be united; for in their anger they killed a man, and deliberately hamstrung an ox. Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce, and their fury, for it is severe. I will divide them within Jacob, and will scatter them within Israel. Genesis 49:5-7.

[2] What Judah was like becomes additionally clear from his marriage to a Canaanite, Genesis 38:1-2, which was nevertheless contrary to what had been commanded, as may be seen from Abraham's words addressed to the servant who was sent to betroth Rebekah to Isaac his son, Genesis 24:3, 6, and from many places in the Word. A third of that nation belonged to this lineage, that is to say, a third descended from his son Shelah who was born from a Canaanite mother, Genesis 38:11; 46:12. See Numbers 26:20; and 1 Chronicles 4:21-22. Further evidence of what these and the rest of Jacob's sons were like lies in the unspeakable crime which they committed against Joseph, Genesis 37:18-end. What their descendants in Egypt were like is evident from the details which are recorded about them when they were in the desert, where they were rebellious on so many occasions, and after that in the land of Canaan where they became idolaters on so many occasions; and lastly what they were like in the Lord's time is shown just above, in 4314. And what they are like today is well known - they are opposed to the Lord, opposed to the things that constitute the Church, and opposed to charity towards the neighbour, being opposed even to one another. These considerations show that the nature of that nation has been such perpetually. Let no one therefore assume any longer that any Church has existed among them, only that which is a representative of the Church. Still less should anyone assume that they have been chosen in preference to others.

1 Chronicles 5

Studie

   

1 The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel (for he was the firstborn; but, because he defiled his father's couch, his birthright was given to the sons of Joseph the son of Israel; and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.

2 For Judah prevailed above his brothers, and of him came the prince; but the birthright was Joseph's:)

3 the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

4 The sons of Joel: Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,

5 Micah his son, Reaiah his son, Baal his son,

6 Beerah his son, whom Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.

7 His brothers by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned: the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,

8 and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who lived in Aroer, even to Nebo and Baal Meon:

9 and eastward he lived even to the entrance of the wilderness from the river Euphrates, because their livestock were multiplied in the land of Gilead.

10 In the days of Saul, they made war with the Hagrites, who fell by their hand; and they lived in their tents throughout all the [land] east of Gilead.

11 The sons of Gad lived over against them, in the land of Bashan to Salecah:

12 Joel the chief, and Shapham the second, and Janai, and Shaphat in Bashan.

13 Their brothers of their fathers' houses: Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jacan, and Zia, and Eber, seven.

14 These were the sons of Abihail, the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;

15 Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of their fathers' houses.

16 They lived in Gilead in Bashan, and in its towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, as far as their borders.

17 All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.

18 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skillful in war, were forty-four thousand seven hundred and sixty, that were able to go forth to war.

19 They made war with the Hagrites, with Jetur, and Naphish, and Nodab.

20 They were helped against them, and the Hagrites were delivered into their hand, and all who were with them; for they cried to God in the battle, and he was entreated of them, because they put their trust in him.

21 They took away their livestock; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred fifty thousand, and of donkeys two thousand, and of men one hundred thousand.

22 For there fell many slain, because the war was of God. They lived in their place until the captivity.

23 The children of the half-tribe of Manasseh lived in the land: they increased from Bashan to Baal Hermon and Senir and Mount Hermon.

24 These were the heads of their fathers' houses: even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valor, famous men, heads of their fathers' houses.

25 They trespassed against the God of their fathers, and played the prostitute after the gods of the peoples of the land, whom God destroyed before them.

26 The God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, and brought them to Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river of Gozan, to this day.
