ベニヤミンの人々がその時、帰ってきたので、彼らはヤベシ・ギレアデの女のうちから生かしておいた女をこれに与えたが、なお足りなかった。
Shechem
'Shechem,' as in Genesis 37:12, signifies earliest basics of the doctrine concerning faith. The earliest basics are also the common, or general, principles of doctrinal things. These common, or general, principles are what are received first. Special, or particular, principles follow afterwards.
In Genesis 12:6, 'Abram's passing through the land unto the place Shechem' signifies a new state of the Lord when the celestial aspects of love first appeared to Him which is what Shechem signifies. This is the first stop in the land of Canaan, when coming from Syria, or Haran.
'Shechem' the son of Hamor in Genesis 34:2 signifies the truth of the church from ancient times.
In Genesis 33:17-20, Psalms 60:6-8 and 108:7-9, Shechem signifies the first dawn of light.

Psalms第6章
1
Yahweh, don't rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.
2
Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am faint. Yahweh, heal me, for my bones are troubled.
3
My soul is also in great anguish. But you, Yahweh--how long?
4
Return, Yahweh. Deliver my soul, and save me for your loving kindness' sake.
5
For in death there is no memory of you. In Sheol, who shall give you thanks?
6
I am weary with my groaning. Every night I flood my bed. I drench my couch with my tears.
7
My eye wastes away because of grief. It grows old because of all my adversaries.
8
Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity, for Yahweh has heard the voice of my weeping.
9
Yahweh has heard my supplication. Yahweh accepts my prayer.
10
May all my enemies be ashamed and dismayed. They shall turn back, they shall be disgraced suddenly. A meditation by David, which he sang to Yahweh, concerning the words of Cush, the Benjamite.
