1 А Іаковъ пошелъ въ путь свой. И встрјтили его ангелы Божіи.

2 Іаковъ, увидя ихъ, сказалъ: это ополченіе Божіе; и нарекъ имя мјсту тому: Маханаимъ.

3 Потомъ Іаковъ послалъ предъ собою вјстниковъ къ брату своему Исаву въ землю Сеиръ, въ область Эдомъ;

4 и далъ имъ приказаніе, говоря: такъ скажите господину моему Исаву: вотъ что говоритъ рабъ твой Іаковъ: я жилъ у Лавана и прожилъ донынј;

5 и есть у меня волы и ослы, и мелкій скотъ, и рабы и рабыни; и я послалъ извјстить о себј господина моего, дабы пріобрјсть благоволеніе предъ очами твоими.

6 Вјстники, возвратясь къ Іакову, сказалп: мы ходили къ брату твоему Исаву; онъ идетъ на встрјчу тебј, и съ нимъ четыреста человјкъ.

7 Тогда Іаковъ очень испугался, и былъ въ затрудненіи; и раздјлилъ людей, бывшихъ съ нимъ, и скотъ мелкій и крупный и верблюдовъ, на два ополченія,

8 и сказалъ: если Исавъ нападетъ на одно ополченіе, и побіетъ его; то остальное ополченіе можетъ спастись.

9 И сказалъ Іаковъ: Боже отца моего Авраама, и Боже отца моего Исаака, Іегова, Ты, который сказалъ мнј: возвратисъ въ землю твою, на родину твою, и Я буду благотворить тебј!

10 Малъ я предъ всјми милостями, и предъ всею истиною, которую Ты сотворилъ рабу Твоему: ибо я съ жезломъ моимъ перешелъ этотъ Іорданъ, а теперь у меня два ополченія.

11 Избавь меня отъ руки брата моего, отъ руки Исава; ибо я боюсь, чтобъ онъ, пришедши, не убилъ меня, и матерей съ дјтьми.

12 Ибо ты сказалъ: Я буду благотворить тебј; и дамъ тебј потомство, какъ песокъ морскій, котораго не изчислить отъ множества.

13 И ночевалъ тутъ Іаковъ въ ту ночь. И взялъ изъ того, что у него было, въ подарокъ Исаву брату своему:

14 двјсти козъ, двадцать козловъ, двјсти овецъ, двадцать овновъ,

15 верблюдовъ дойныхъ съ дјтьми ихъ тридцать, сорокъ коровъ, десять воловъ, двадцать ослицъ, десять ословъ.

16 И далъ въ руки рабамъ своимъ, каждое стадо особо, и сказалъ рабамъ своимъ: подите предо мною, и оставляйте разстояніе отъ стада до стада.

17 И приказалъ первому, говоря: когда братъ мой Исавъ встрјтится тебј и спроситъ тебя, говоря: чей ты? и куда идешь? и чье это стадо предъ тобою?

18 ты скажи: раба твоего Іакова; это подарокъ, посланный господину моему Исаву; вотъ, онъ и самъ за нами.

19 Тоже приказалъ онъ и второму и третьему, и всјмъ, которые шли за стадами, говоря: такъ скажите Исаву, когда встрјтитесь съ нимъ.

20 И скажите: вотъ, рабъ твой Іаковъ за нами: ибо онъ сказалъ самъ въ себј: умилостивлю его дарами, которые пойдутъ передо мною; и потомъ увижу лице его; можетъ быть и приметъ меня.

21 Такимъ образомъ дары пошли предъ нимъ; и онъ ту ночь ночевалъ въ стану своемъ.

22 И всталъ въ ту ночь, и, взявъ двухъ женъ своихъ, и двухъ рабынь своихъ. и одиннадцать сыновъ своихъ, перешелъ черезъ Іавокъ въ бродъ.

23 И когда взявъ ихъ, перевелъ черезъ потокъ, перевелъ также и все, что у него было.

24 И остался Іаковъ одинъ. Тогда нјкто боролся съ нимъ до появлешя зари;

25 и когда увидјлъ, что не одолјваетъ его, коснулся состава стегна его, повредилъ составъ стегна у Іакова, когда онъ боролся съ нимъ,

26 и сказалъ: пусти меня: ибо взошла заря; Іаковъ отвјчалъ: не пущу тебя, если ее благословишь меня.

27 И спросилъ его: какъ тебј имя? онъ отвјчалъ: Іаковъ.

28 Онъ сказалъ: отнынј имя тебј будетъ не Іаковъ, а Израиль; ибо ты борешься съ Богомъ и съ человјками, и одолјваешь.

29 Спросилъ и Іаковъ, говоря: скажи имя Твое; но Онъ сказалъ: на что ты спрашиваешь о имени Моемъ? и благословилъ его тамъ.

30 И нарекъ Іаковъ имя мјсту тому: Пеніилъ; ибо, говорилъ онъ: я видјлъ Бога лицемъ къ лицу, и сохранилась душа моя.

31 И взошло солнце, когда онъ проходилъ Пеніилъ, и онъ хромалъ отъ поврежденія стегна своего.

32 Посему и донынј сыны Израилевы не јдятъ жилы, которая у стегна, потому что Боровшійся тронулъ жилу на стегнј у Іакова.

4364. 'He said, What do you mean by all this camp which I met?' means the specific things which came from the good of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'camp' here as things that are specific, for these are meant by the animals mentioned in verses 14, 15 of the previous chapter - two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred sheep and twenty rams, thirty milking camels and their colts, forty young cows and ten young bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals. By these are meant the goods and truths together with the things that are subservient, by means of which the instillation was to be effected, see 4263, 4264, and so mean those that are specific. The specific ones meant here are nothing other than those which serve to prove that truths really are truths and forms of good really are forms of good. They support a person's thoughts and affections - that is, the things he knows and the things he loves - which lead him to favour an idea and maintain that it is true. The gifts which in the Church of old were made to kings and to priests also held the same meaning It is well known that another is led to one's own way of thinking - that is, to the things which one says are good and true - both by the use of rational arguments and by the appeal to affections. It is the actual supporting proofs to which the term 'specific' applies and that are meant at this point by 'this camp'. This is the reason why the words 'to find favour in the eyes of my lord' appear, explaining why 'the camp' was sent, and after that, 'If now I have found favour in your eyes, then take my gift from my hand'.

[2] It is similar with spiritual things or matters of faith, when these are being joined to the good of charity. People believe that goods and truths flow in immediately from heaven, and so without any intermediate agents in man; but in this they are much mistaken. The Lord leads everyone through the agency of his affections and in so doing bends him by means of a Providence working silently; for He leads people by means of their freedom, 1937, 1947. All freedom entails a person's affection or love, see 2870, 2873. Consequently every joining together of good and truth takes place in freedom and not under compulsion, 2875-2878, 2881, 3145, 3146, 3158, 4031. When therefore a person has been brought in freedom to good, truths find acceptance and are implanted. That person also starts to be stirred by an affection for them and is in this manner introduced little by little into heavenly freedom. One who is regenerate, that is, who loves the neighbour - more so one who loves the Lord - will discover, if he reflects on his life before then, that he has been led to that point by many ideas present in his thought and many impulses of his affection.

[3] What exactly is meant here by the things which came from the good of truth may be seen more easily from examples. Let truth which has to be introduced into good be exemplified by the truth that man has life after death. Unless this is supported by specific truths, it does not find acceptance, that is, not unless it is supported by the following: Man is able to think not only about the things he sees and perceives with the senses but also about those which he does not see or perceive with the senses. Also his affection can be stirred by them; and through his affection he can become linked to them and therefore to heaven, indeed to the Lord Himself. And those who are able to be linked to the Divine can never die. These and many more like them are the specific truths which present themselves before that truth is instilled into good, that is, before it is believed fully. That truth does indeed submit itself first, yet these specific truths nevertheless cause it to find acceptance.

[4] Take as another example the truth that man is a spirit and that he is clothed with a body while he lives in the world. This also is a truth that has to be instilled into good, for if it is not instilled he has no concern for heaven, in which case he looks on himself in the same way as he does on animals. But this truth cannot be instilled except by means of specific ones such as the following: The body which a person carries around ministers to uses in the world; that is to say, it enables him by means of material eyes to see things that are in the world, and to perform actions by means of material muscles, which give him power that is sufficient to lift heavy objects. Nevertheless some more interior part of him exists which thinks and wills, and for which the body is the instrumental or material organ. Also his spirit is his true self, or the person himself, who performs actions and has sensory perception through these organic forms. And there are many other personal experiences by which he can prove that truth to be so once he believes it. All of these are specific truths which are put forward first and which cause that truth itself to be instilled into good and also to come from it. It is these and other things like them that are meant here by 'a camp'.
