1 Da kaldte Isak Jakob til sig og velsignede ham, idet han bød ham: "Du må ikke tage dig en Hustru blandt Kana'ans Døtre.

2 Drag til Paddan-Aram, til din Morfader Betuels Hus, og tag dig der en af din Morbroder Labans Døtre til Hustru!

3 Gud den Almægtige velsigne dig og gøre dig frugtbar og give dig et talrigt Afkom, så du bliver til Stammer i Hobetal.

4 Han give dig og dit Afkom med dig Abrahams Velsignelse, så du får din Udlændigheds Land i Eje, det, Gud skænkede Abraham!"

5 Så lod Isak Jakob fare, og han drog til Paddan-Aram, til Aramæeren Laban, Betuels Søn, som var Broder til ebekka, Jakobs og Esaus Moder.

6 Men Esau fik at vide, at Isak havde velsignet Jakob og sendt ham til Paddan-Aram for at tage sig en Hustru der, og at han, da han velsignede ham, havde pålagt ham ikke at tage sig en Hustru blandt Kana'ans Døtre,

7 og at Jakob havde adlydt sin Fader og Moder og var draget til Paddan-Aram.

8 Da skønnede Esau, at Kana'ans Døtre vakte hans Fader Isaks Mishag,

9 og han gik til Ismael og tog Mahalat, en Datter af Abrahams Søn Ismael og Søster til Nebajot, til Hustru ved Siden af sine andre Hustruer.

10 Så drog Jakob bort fra Be'ersjeba og vandrede ad Karan til.

11 På sin Vandring kom han til det hellige Sted og overnattede der, da Solen var gået ned; og han tog en af Stenene på Stedet og brugte den som Hovedgærde og lagde sig til, Hvile der.

12 Da drømte han, og se, på Jorden stod en Stige, hvis Top nåede til Himmelen, og se, Guds Engle steg op og ned ad den;

13 og HE EN stod foran ham og sagde: "Jeg er HE EN, din Fader Abrahams og Isaks Gud! Det Land, du hviler på, giver jeg dig og dit Afkom;

14 dit Afkom skal blive som Jordens Støv, og du skal brede dig mod Vest og Øst, mod Nord og Syd; og i dig og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Slægter velsignes;

15 se, jeg vil være med dig og vogte dig, hvorhen du end går og føre dig tilbage til dette Land; thi jeg vil ikke forlade dig, men opfylde alt, hvad jeg har lovet dig!"

16 Da Jakob vågnede af sin Søvn, sagde han: "Sandelig, HE EN er på dette Sted, og jeg vidste det ikke!"

17 Og han blev angst og sagde: "Hvor forfærdeligt er dog dette Sted! Visselig, her er Guds Hus, her er Himmelens Port!"

18 Tidligt næste Morgen tog Jakob den Sten, han havde brugt som Hovedgærde rejste den som en Stenstøtte og gød Olie over den.

19 Og han kaldte dette Sted Betel; før hed Byen Luz.

20 Derpå gjorde Jakob følgende Løfte: "Hvis Gud er med mig og vogter mig på den Vej, jeg skal vandre, og giver mig Brød at spise og Klæder at iføre mig,

21 og hvis jeg kommer uskadt tilbage til min Faders Hus, så skal HE EN være min Gud,

22 og denne Sten, som jeg har rejst som en Støtte, skal være Guds Hus, og af alt, hvad du giver mig, vil jeg give dig Tiende!"

3735. 'And clothing to wear' means being joined to Divine Truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'clothing' as truth, dealt with in 1073, 2576, Divine Truth here since the Lord is the subject; and from the meaning of 'wearing' as making it one's own and being joined to it. As for the nature of the internal sense of the Word, that becomes clear from these and all other details; that is to say, when the sense of the letter refers to bread and to clothing, and also when it does so within historical narrative, as here in 'If God will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear', the angels present with a person at the time have no thought at all of bread but of the good of love, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Good. Nor do they have any thought at all of clothing but of truth, and in the highest sense, of the Lord's Divine Truth. To them such things as are referred to in the sense of the letter are simply objects for thought regarding heavenly and Divine matters, for such things are vessels existing in the ultimate degree of order.

[2] So when with holiness of mind a person thinks about bread - for example, when he thinks about the bread in the Holy Supper, or about the daily bread in the Lord's Prayer - that thought which he has about bread serves the angels present with him as an object for thought regarding the good of love which comes from the Lord. For the angels do not take hold of anything at all of the person's actual thought concerning bread, but instead their thought concerns good; for such is the correspondence between the two. It is similar when with holiness of mind a person thinks about clothing. The angels' thought in that case concerns truth. So it is with everything else in the Word. From this the nature of the joining together of heaven and earth by means of the Word becomes clear; that is to say, the joining together is such that when with holiness of mind anyone reads the Word he is joined by means of such correspondences more closely to heaven, and through heaven to the Lord, even though that person's thought is concerned solely with things in the Word which are stated in the sense of the letter. His holiness of mind at that time is the product of the influx of celestial and spiritual thoughts and affections such as exist with angels.

[3] So that such influx might exist and from that influx man might be joined to the Lord, the Lord has instituted the Holy Supper where it is explicitly stated that the Lord is the bread and wine. For the Lord's body means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, love such as exists with celestial angels, while His blood in a similar way means His Divine love, and the reciprocal love in man, but love such as exists with spiritual angels. From this it is evident how much of the Divine there is within every individual part of the Word, though man does not know what that Divine content is or the nature of it. People however who, while in the world, have led a good life enter after death into cognitions and a perception of all those things, for at that time they cast off earthly and worldly things and take to themselves heavenly ones, and have, like angels, spiritual and celestial ideas.
