1 レアがヤコブに産んだデナはその地の女たちに会おうと出かけて行ったが、

2 その地のつかさ、ヒビびとハモルのシケムが彼女を見て、引き入れ、これと寝てはずかしめた。

3 彼は深くヤコブの娘デナを慕い、この娘をして、ねんごろに娘に語った。

4 シケムは父ハモルに言った、「この娘をわたしのにめとってください」。

5 さてヤコブはシケムが、娘デナを汚したことを聞いたけれども、その子らが家畜を連れて野にいたので、彼らの帰るまで黙っていた。

6 シケムの父ハモルはヤコブと話し合おうと、ヤコブの所に出てきた。

7 ヤコブの子らは野から帰り、この事を聞いて、悲しみ、かつ非常に怒った。シケムがヤコブの娘と寝て、イスラエルに愚かなことをしたためで、こんなことは、してはならぬ事だからである。

8 ハモルは彼らと語って言った、「わたしのシケムはあなたがたの娘を心に慕っています。どうか彼女を彼のにください。

9 あなたがたはわたしたちと婚姻し、あなたがたのをわたしたちに与え、わたしたちのをあなたがたにめとってください。

10 こうしてあなたがたとわたしたちとは一緒に住みましょう。地はあなたがたのにあります。ここに住んで取引し、ここで財産を獲なさい」。

11 シケムはまたデナの父と兄弟たちとに言った、「あなたがたの前に恵みを得させてください。あなたがたがわたしに言われるものは、なんでもさしあげましょう。

12 たくさんの結納金と贈り物とをお求めになっても、あなたがたの言われるとおりさしあげます。ただこの娘はわたしのにください」。

13 しかし、ヤコブの子らはシケムが彼らの妹デナを汚したので、シケムとその父ハモルに偽って答え、

14 彼らに言った、「われわれは割礼を受けない者に妹をやる事はできません。それはわれわれのとするところですから。

15 ただ、こうなさればわれわれはあなたがたに同意します。もしあなたがたのうち男子がみな割礼を受けて、われわれのようになるなら、

16 われわれのをあなたがたに与え、あなたがたのをわれわれにめとりましょう。そしてわれわれはあなたがたと一緒に住んで一つの民となりましょう。

17 けれども、もしあなたがたがわれわれに聞かず、割礼を受けないなら、われわれは娘を連れて行きます」。

18 彼らの言葉がハモルとハモルのシケムとの心にかなったので、

19 若者は、ためらわずにこの事をした。彼がヤコブの娘を愛したからである。また彼は父ののうちで一番重んじられた者であった。

20 そこでハモルとそのシケムとはに行き、の人々に語って言った、

21 「この人々はわれわれと親しいから、この地に住まわせて、ここで取引をさせよう。地は広く、彼らをいれるにじゅうぶんである。そしてわれわれは彼らのにめとり、われわれのを彼らに与えよう。

22 彼らが割礼を受けているように、もしわれわれのうちの男子が皆、割礼を受けるなら、ただこの事だけで、この人々はわれわれに同意し、われわれと一緒に住んで一つの民となるのだ。

23 そうすれば彼らの家畜と財産とすべてのとは、われわれのものとなるではないか。ただわれわれが彼らに同意すれば、彼らはわれわれと一緒に住むであろう」。

24 そこでに出入りする者はみなハモルとそのシケムとに聞き従って、に出入りするすべての男割礼を受けた。

25 目になって彼らが痛みを覚えている時、ヤコブのふたりの子、すなわちデナの兄弟シメオンとレビとは、おのおのつるぎを取って、不意にを襲い、男子をことごとく殺し、

26 またつるぎの刃にかけてハモルとそのシケムとを殺し、シケムからデナを連れ出した。

27 そしてヤコブの子らは殺された人々をはぎ、をかすめた。彼らが妹を汚したからである。

28 すなわち、牛、ろば及びにあるものと、野にあるもの、

29 並びにすべての貨財を奪い、その子女とたちを皆とりこにし、の中にある物をことごとくかすめた。

30 そこでヤコブはシメオンとレビとに言った、「あなたがたはわたしをこの地の住民、カナンびととペリジびとに忌みきらわせ、わたしに迷惑をかけた。わたしは、人数が少ないから、彼らが集まってわたしを攻め撃つならば、わたしも族も滅ぼされるであろう」。

31 彼らは言った、「わたしたちの妹を遊女のように彼が扱ってよいのですか」。

4442. 'And Hamor, Shechem's father, went out to Jacob to speak to him' means consultation regarding the truth of that Church. This is clear from the representation of 'Hamor, Shechem's father' as the truth known to the Ancients, dealt with in 4430, 4431; from the representation of 'Jacob' as the external Ancient Church, dealt with just above in 4439; and from the meaning of 'speaking to him' as consultation. Consequently these words mean consultation regarding the truth of that Church. Anyone who does not know that names in the Word mean spiritual entities will be amazed to learn that these words 'Hamor, Shechem's father, went out to Jacob to speak to him' mean consultation by the truth of the Church among the Ancients with the truth which was suited to the Ancient Church that was to be established among Jacob's descendants. But no one who knows what the internal sense of the Word is like will be amazed; nor indeed will those who from books by the Ancients have acquainted themselves with the literary style customary among them. For the Ancients commonly presented entities as if conversing with one another, such as wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, and the like. They also commonly gave these entities names by which such things were meant. The gods and demigods of the people of old were nothing other, and neither were the personalities whom they invented to link those entities together into a historical tale.

[2] The philosophers of old received this customary style from the Ancient Church which had been spread throughout much of the Asiatic world, 1238, 2385; for those who belonged to the Ancient Church linked together entities that were holy by means of representatives and meaningful signs. The Ancient Church however received the same by word of mouth from the most ancient people who lived before the Flood, 920, 1409, 1977, 2896, 2897; and these people received it from heaven since they had communication with heaven, 784, 1114-1125. For such representatives and meaningful signs occur in the first heaven, which is the lowest of the three heavens. This explains why the Word was written in that kind of style. But in contrast to the writings of the men of old the Word has this peculiar feature, that the separate entities in a continuous chain represent the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord's kingdom, and in the highest sense the Lord Himself; that the actual historical details are also such; and what is more, that they are real correspondences, these being continuous, extending through the three heavens from the Lord.

Genesis 10.

THE MOST ANCIENT CHURCH, WHICH WAS CALLED MAN, OR ADAM

Angels and spirits, that is, human beings after death, are able to meet any they like of all those whom they have been acquainted with in the world or whom they have heard of. They see them and talk to them in person, when the Lord allows it. And what is remarkable, those people are with them in an instant and very much in person. Thus they are allowed to speak not only to friends, who normally find one another, but also to others whom they have admired and revered. In the Lord's Divine mercy I have been allowed to speak not only to those who were known to me during their lifetime but also to the most prominent characters mentioned in the Word. Thus I have been allowed to speak as well to those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church, the Church called Man, or Adam, and also to certain of those who belonged to the Churches that came after it. The reason for my being allowed to do so was so that I might know that the names found in the initial chapters of Genesis are used solely to mean Churches, and also that I might know the character of the members of the Churches of that time. The things that follow next therefore are what I have been given to know concerning the Most Ancient Churches.
