1 ויאמר אלהים אל־יעקב קום עלה בית־אל ושב־שם ועשה־שם מזבח לאל הנראה אליך בברחך מפני עשו אחיך׃

2 ויאמר יעקב אל־ביתו ואל כל־אשר עמו הסרו את־אלהי הנכר אשר בתככם והטהרו והחליפו שמלתיכם׃

3 ונקומה ונעלה בית־אל ואעשה־שם מזבח לאל הענה אתי ביום צרתי ויהי עמדי בדרך אשר הלכתי׃

4 ויתנו* אל־יעקב את כל־אלהי הנכר אשר בידם ואת־הנזמים אשר באזניהם ויטמן אתם יעקב תחת האלה אשר עם־שכם׃

5 ויסעו ויהי חתת אלהים על־הערים אשר סביבתיהם ולא רדפו אחרי בני יעקב׃

6 ויבא יעקב לוזה אשר בארץ כנען הוא בית־אל הוא וכל־העם אשר־עמו׃

7 ויבן שם מזבח ויקרא למקום אל בית־אל כי שם נגלו אליו האלהים בברחו מפני אחיו׃

8 ותמת דברה מינקת רבקה ותקבר מתחת לבית־אל תחת האלון ויקרא שמו אלון בכות׃ ף

9 וירא אלהים אל־יעקב עוד בבאו מפדן ארם ויברך אתו׃

10 ויאמר־לו אלהים שמך יעקב לא־יקרא שמכ* עוד יעקב כי אם־ישראל יהיה שמך ויקרא את־שמו ישראל׃

11 ויאמר לו אלהים אני אל שדי פרה ורבה גוי וקהל גוים יהיה ממך ומלכים מחלציך יצאו׃

12 ואת־הארץ אשר נתתי לאברהם וליצחק לך אתננה ולזרעך אחריך אתן את־הארץ׃

13 ויעל מעליו אלהים במקום אשר־דבר אתו׃

14 ויצב יעקב מצבה במקום אשר־דבר אתו מצבת אבן ויסך עליה נסך ויצק עליה שמן׃

15 ויקרא יעקב את־שם המקום אשר דבר אתו שם אלהים בית־אל׃

16 ויסעו מבית אל ויהי־עוד כברת־הארץ לבוא אפרתה ותלד רחל ותקש בלדתה׃

17 ויהי בהקשתה בלדתה ותאמר לה המילדת אל־תיראי כי־גם־זה לך בן׃

18 ויהי בצאת נפשה כי מתה ותקרא שמו בן־אוני ואביו קרא־לו בנימין׃

19 ותמת רחל ותקבר בדרך אפרתה* הוא בית לחם׃

20 ויצב יעקב מצבה על־קברתה הוא מצבת קברת־רחל* עד־היום׃

21 ויסע ישראל ויט אהלה* מהלאה למגדל־עדר׃

22 ויהי בשכן ישראל בארץ ההוא וילך ראובן וישכב את־בלהה פילגש אביו וישמע ישראל ף ויהיו בני־יעקב שנים עשר׃

23 בני לאה בכור יעקב ראובן ושמעון ולוי ויהודה ויששכר וזבולן׃

24 בני רחל יוסף ובנימן׃

25 ובני בלהה שפחת רחל דן ונפתלי׃

26 ובני זלפה שפחת לאה גד ואשר אלה בני יעקב אשר ילד־לו בפדן ארם׃

27 ויבא יעקב אל־יצחק אביו ממרא קרית הארבע הוא חברונ* אשר־גר־שם אברהם ויצחק׃

28 ויהיו ימי יצחק מאת שנה ושמנים שנה׃

29 ויגוע יצחק וימת ויאסף אל־עמיו זקן ושבע ימים ויקברו אתו עשו ויעקב בניו׃ ף

4603. 'The sons of Jacob were twelve' means a state in which all things were now present in the Divine Natural. This is clear from the representation of 'Jacob' as the Divine Natural, often dealt with already; and from the meaning of 'twelve' as all, and when used in reference to the sons of Jacob, or to the tribes named after these, as all aspects of truth and good, dealt with in 2089, 2129, 2130, 3272, 3858, 3913, 3939. The subject so far has been the way in which the Lord made his Natural within Him Divine, for 'Jacob' has represented the Natural; but now the subject becomes the joining of the Divine Natural to the Rational. This joining together is represented by Jacob's coming to Isaac, for 'Isaac' represents the Lord's Divine Rational. This explains why all the sons of Jacob are listed once again, since every aspect of truth and good had to be present within the Natural before it could be fully joined to the Rational. The reason for this particular listing of them is the service which the natural renders the rational as the receptacle for it. But one should recognize that Jacob's sons are now mentioned in a different order from before; the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah - Dan, Naphtali, Gad, and Asher - are mentioned last, though in actual fact these were born before Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin. The reason for this difference is that at this point the subject is the order in which truths and goods exist within the Natural when this has been made Divine, for it is the state belonging to the subject under discussion that determines the order in which their names appear, see 3862, 3926, 3939.

Genesis第35章

1 God said to Jacob, "Arise, go up to Bethel, and live there. Make there an altar to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother."

2 Then Jacob said to his household, and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, change your garments.

3 Let us arise, and go up to Bethel. I will make there an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went."

4 They gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.

5 They traveled, and a terror of God was on the cities that were around them, and they didn't pursue the sons of Jacob.

6 So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

7 He built an altar there, and called the place El Beth El; because there God was revealed to him, when he fled from the face of his brother.

8 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; and its name was called Allon Bacuth.

9 God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan Aram, and blessed him.

10 God said to him, "Your name is Jacob. Your name shall not be Jacob any more, but your name will be Israel." He named him Israel.

11 God said to him, "I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will be from you, and kings will come out of your body.

12 The land which I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give it to you, and to your seed after you will I give the land."

13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.

14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he spoke with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it, and poured oil on it.

15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him "Bethel."

16 They traveled from Bethel. There was still some distance to come to Ephrath, and Rachel travailed. She had hard labor.

17 When she was in hard labor, the midwife said to her, "Don't be afraid, for now you will have another son."

18 It happened, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Benoni, but his father named him Benjamin.

19 Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath (the same is Bethlehem).

20 Jacob set up a pillar on her grave. The same is the Pillar of Rachel's grave to this day.

21 Israel traveled, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Eder.

22 It happened, while Israel lived in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah, his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.

23 The sons of Leah: Reuben (Jacob's firstborn), Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.

24 The sons of Rachel: Joseph and Benjamin.

25 The sons of Bilhah (Rachel's handmaid): Dan and Naphtali.

26 The sons of Zilpah (Leah's handmaid): Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him in Paddan Aram.

27 Jacob came to Isaac his father, to Mamre, to Kiriath Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac lived as foreigners.

28 The days of Isaac were one hundred eighty years.

29 Isaac gave up the spirit, and died, and was gathered to his people, old and full of days. Esau and Jacob, his sons, buried him.
