1 POI Giacobbe alzò gli occhi, e riguardò; ed ecco Esaù veniva, menando seco quattrocent’uomini. Ed egli spartì i fanciulli in tre schiere, sotto Lea, sotto Rachele, e sotto le due serve.

2 E mise le serve e i lor figliuoli davanti; e Lea e i suoi figliuoli appresso; e Rachele e Giuseppe gli ultimi.

3 Ed egli passò davanti a loro, e s’inchinò sette volte a terra, finchè fu presso al suo fratello.

4 Ed Esaù gli corse incontro, e l’abbracciò, e gli si gittò al collo, e lo baciò; ed amendue piansero.

5 Ed Esaù alzò gli occhi, e vide quelle donne e que’ fanciulli, e disse: Che ti son costoro? E Giacobbe disse: Sono i fanciulli che Iddio ha donati al tuo servitore.

6 E le serve si accostarono, coi loro figliuoli, e s’inchinarono.

7 Poi Lea si accostò, co’ suoi figliuoli, e s’inchinarono. Poi si accostò Giuseppe e Rachele, e si inchinarono.

8 Ed Esaù disse a Giacobbe: Che vuoi far di tutta quell’oste che io ho scontrata? Ed egli disse: Io l’ho mandata per trovar grazia appo il mio signore.

9 Ed Esaù disse: Io ne ho assai, fratel mio; tienti per te ciò ch’è tuo.

10 Ma Giacobbe disse: Deh! no; se ora io ho trovato grazia appo te, prendi dalla mia mano il mio presente; conciossiachè per ciò io abbia veduta la tua faccia, il che mi è stato come se avessi veduta la faccia di Dio; e tu mi hai gradito.

11 Deh! prendi il mio presente che ti è stato condotto; perciocchè Iddio mi è stato liberal donatore, ed io ho di tutto. E gli fece forza, sì ch’egli lo prese.

12 Poi Esaù disse: Partiamoci, ed andiamocene; ed io ti accompagnerò.

13 Ma Giacobbe gli disse: Ben riconosce il mio signore che questi fanciulli son teneri; ed io ho le mie pecore e le mie vacche pregne; e se sono spinte innanzi pure un giorno, tutta la greggia morrà.

14 Deh! passi il mio signore davanti al suo servitore, ed io mi condurrò pian piano, al passo di questo bestiame ch’è davanti a me, e di questi fanciulli, finchè io arrivi al mio signore in Seir.

15 Ed Esaù disse: Deh! lascia che io faccia restar teco della gente ch’è meco. Ma Giacobbe disse: Perchè questo? lascia che io ottenga questa grazia dal mio signore.

16 Esaù adunque in quel dì se ne ritornò verso Seir, per lo suo cammino.

17 E Giacobbe partì, e venne in Succot, e si edificò una casa, e fece delle capanne per lo suo bestiame; perciò pose nome a quel luogo Succot.

18 Poi Giacobbe arrivò sano e salvo nella città di Sichem, nel paese di Canaan, tornando di Paddan-aram; e tese i suoi padiglioni davanti alla città.

19 E comperò da’ figliuoli d’Hemor, padre di Sichem, per cento pezze di moneta, la parte del campo, ove avea tesi i suoi padiglioni.

20 E rizzò un altare, e lo nominò Iddio, l’Iddio d’Israele.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Arcana Coelestia#4350

4350. 'Esau ran to meet him' means the influx of Divine Natural Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'running to meet' as influx, and from the representation of 'Esau' as Divine Natural Good, dealt with in 4337, 4340. The reason why 'running to meet' means influx in this case is that Divine Good flows in by way of the internal man and goes to meet truth introduced through the external man, so that the two may be joined together. This is also evident from what follows, for the description which follows concerning his embracing him, falling on his neck, and kissing him, will be seen to mean a joining together effected through love.

Genesis第33章

学习

   

1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two handmaids.

2 He put the handmaids and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.

3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.

5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, "Who are these with you?" He said, "The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

6 Then the handmaids came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.

7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.

8 Esau said, "What do you mean by all this company which I met?" Jacob said, "To find favor in the sight of my lord."

9 Esau said, "I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours."

10 Jacob said, "Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough." He urged him, and he took it.

12 Esau said, "Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before you."

13 Jacob said to him, "My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir."

15 Esau said, "Let me now leave with you some of the folk who are with me." He said, "Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.

19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for one hundred pieces of money.

20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
