学习

   

1 以撒雅各來,給他祝福,並囑咐他:你不要娶迦南的女子為妻。

2 你起身往巴旦亞蘭去,到你外祖彼土利家裡,在你母舅拉班的女兒中娶一女為妻。

3 全能的神賜福給你,使你生養眾多,成為多族,

4 將應許亞伯拉罕的福賜你和你的後裔,使你承受你所寄居的為業,就是亞伯拉罕的

5 以撒打發雅各走了,他就往巴旦亞蘭去,到亞蘭人彼土利的兒子拉班那裡。拉班雅各以掃的母舅。

6 以掃以撒已經給雅各祝福,而且打發他往巴旦亞蘭去,在那裡娶妻,並見祝福的時候囑咐他說:不要娶迦南的女子為妻,

7 又見雅各從父母的話往巴旦亞蘭去了,

8 以掃就曉得他父親以撒不中迦南的女子,

9 便往以實瑪利那裡去,在他二妻之外又娶了瑪哈拉為妻。他是亞伯拉罕兒子以實瑪利的女兒,尼拜約的妹子。

10 雅各出了別是巴,向哈蘭走去;

11 到了一個地方,因為太陽落了,就在那裡住宿,便拾起那地方的一塊石頭枕在頭,在那裡躺臥睡了,

12 夢見一個梯子立在上,梯子的頂著,有的使者在梯子上,上去來。

13 耶和華站在梯子以上(或作站在他旁邊),:我是耶和華─你祖亞伯拉罕的,也是以撒的;我要將你現在所躺臥之你和你的後裔。

14 你的後裔必像上的塵沙那樣多,必向東西開展;上萬族必因你和你的後裔得福。

15 我也與你同在。你無論往那裡去,我必保佑你,領你歸回這地,總不離棄你,直到我成全了向你所應許的。

16 雅各睡醒了,耶和華真在這裡,我竟不知道

17 就懼:這地方何等可畏!這不是別的,乃是的殿,也是

18 雅各起來,把所枕的石頭立作柱子,澆在上面。

19 他就給那地方起名伯特利(就是神殿的意思);但那地方起先名路斯。

20 雅各許願若與我同在,在我所行的上保佑我,又我食物衣服穿,

21 使我平平安安地回到我父親的家,我就必以耶和華為我的

22 我所立為柱子的石頭也必作的殿,凡你所賜我的,我必將十分之一獻你。

3666. Verses 3-5 And God Shaddai will bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you; and you will be an assembly of peoples. And He will give you the blessing of Abraham, you and your seed with you, to inherit the land of your sojournings, which God gave to Abraham. And Isaac sent Jacob away; and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau's mother.

'God Shaddai will bless you' means the temptations to which that truth and good was subjected and by means of which the joining together was effected. 'And make you fruitful and multiply you' means the goods and truths deriving from that joining together. 'And you will be an assembly of peoples' means abundance. 'And He will give you the blessing of Abraham' means the joining of the Divine itself to the good and truth of the natural. 'You and your seed with you' means to the good and the truth born from this good. 'To inherit the land of your sojournings' means the life acquired through receiving instruction. 'Which God gave to Abraham' means which is received from the Divine. 'And Isaac sent Jacob away' means the beginning of the manifestation [of the Divine Natural]. 'And he went to Paddan Aram' means here, as previously, the cognitions of that truth. 'To Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean' means a parallel good. 'The brother of Rebekah, Jacob and Esau's mother' means the relationship through the mother of the good of truth, represented by 'Jacob', with the truth of good, represented by 'Esau'.
