1 Был голод в земле, сверх прежнего голода, который был во дни Авраама; и пошел Исаак к Авимелеху, царю Филистимскому, в Герар.

2 Господь явился ему и сказал: не ходи в Египет; живи в земле, о которой Я скажу тебе,

3 странствуй по сей земле, и Я буду с тобою и благословлю тебя, ибо тебе и потомству твоему дам все земли сии и исполню клятву, которою Я клялся Аврааму, отцу твоему;

4 умножу потомство твое, как звезды небесные, и дам потомству твоемувсе земли сии; благословятся в семени твоем все народы земные,

5 за то, что Авраам послушался гласа Моего и соблюдал, что Мною заповедано было соблюдать: повеления Мои, уставы Мои и законы Мои.

6 Исаак поселился в Гераре.

7 Жители места того спросили о жене его, и он сказал: это сестра моя;потому что боялся сказать: жена моя, чтобы не убили меня, думал он , жители места сего за Ревекку, потому что она прекрасна видом.

8 Но когда уже много времени он там прожил, Авимелех, царь Филистимский, посмотрев в окно, увидел, что Исаак играет с Ревеккою, женою своею.

9 И призвал Авимелех Исаака и сказал: вот, это жена твоя; как же ты сказал: она сестра моя? Исаак сказал ему: потому что я думал, не умереть бы мнеради ее.

10 Но Авимелех сказал: что это ты сделал с нами? едва один из народа несовокупился с женою твоею, и ты ввел бы нас в грех.

11 И дал Авимелех повеление всему народу, сказав: кто прикоснется к сему человеку и к жене его, тот предан будет смерти.

12 И сеял Исаак в земле той и получил в тот год ячменя во сто крат: так благословил его Господь.

13 И стал великим человек сей и возвеличивался больше и больше до того, что стал весьма великим.

14 У него были стада мелкого и стада крупного скота и множество пахотныхполей, и Филистимляне стали завидовать ему.

15 И все колодези, которые выкопали рабы отца его при жизни отца его Авраама, Филистимляне завалили и засыпали землею.

16 И Авимелех сказал Исааку: удались от нас, ибо ты сделался гораздо сильнее нас.

17 И Исаак удалился оттуда, и расположился шатрами вдолине Герарской, и поселился там.

18 И вновь выкопал Исаак колодези воды, которые выкопаны были во дни Авраама, отца его, и которые завалили Филистимляне по смерти Авраама; и назвал их теми же именами, которыми назвал их отец его.

19 И копали рабы Исааковы в долине и нашли там колодезь воды живой.

20 И спорили пастухи Герарские с пастухами Исаака, говоря: наша вода. И он нарек колодезю имя: Есек, потому что спорили с ним.

21 выкопали другой колодезь; спорили также и о нем; и он нарек ему имя: Ситна.

22 И он двинулся отсюда и выкопал иной колодезь, о котором уже не спорили, и нарек ему имя: Реховоф, ибо, сказал он, теперь Господь дал нам пространное место, и мы размножимся на земле.

23 Оттуда перешел он в Вирсавию.

24 И в ту ночь явился ему Господь и сказал: Я Бог Авраама, отца твоего; не бойся, ибо Я с тобою; и благословлю тебя и умножу потомство твое, радиАвраама, раба Моего.

25 И он устроил там жертвенник и призвал имя Господа. И раскинул там шатер свой, и выкопали там рабы Исааковы колодезь.

26 Пришел к нему из Герара Авимелех и Ахузаф, друг его, и Фихол, военачальник его.

27 Исаак сказал им: для чего вы пришли ко мне, когда вы возненавиделименя и выслали меня от себя?

28 Они сказали: мы ясно увидели, что Господь с тобою, и потому мы сказали: поставим между нами и тобою клятву и заключим с тобою союз,

29 чтобы ты не делал нам зла, как и мы не коснулись до тебя, а делали тебе одно доброе и отпустили тебя с миром; теперь ты благословен Господом.

30 Он сделал им пиршество, и они ели и пили.

31 И встав рано утром, поклялись друг другу; и отпустил их Исаак, и они пошли от него с миром.

32 В тот же день пришли рабы Исааковы и известили его о колодезе, который копали они, и сказали ему: мы нашли воду.

33 И он назвал его: Шива. Посему имя городу тому Беэршива до сего дня.

34 И был Исав сорока лет, и взял себе в жены Иегудифу, дочь Беэра Хеттеянина, и Васемафу, дочь Елона Хеттеянина;

35 и они были в тягость Исааку и Ревекке.

3441. 'For the sake of Abraham My servant' means because of the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the representation of 'Abraham' as the Lord's Divine, and also His Divine Human, dealt with in 2833, 2836, 3251, and from the meaning of 'My servant', when used in reference to the Lord, as the Divine Human. Not that the Divine Human is a servant, for the Divine Human also is Jehovah, 1736, 2156, 2329, 2921, 3023, 3035, but 'My servant' means the Divine Human because by means of that Divine Human the Lord serves the human race. Indeed it is by means of the Divine Human that a person is saved, for unless the Lord had united the Human to the Divine so that man could with his mind behold and worship the Lord's Human, and in so doing approach the Divine, he could not possibly be saved. The joining of man to the Divine Himself, called the Father, is effected through the Divine Human, called the Son, and so through the Lord, by whom one who is spiritual understands the Human, but one who is celestial understands the Divine Himself.

[2] From these considerations it is evident why the Divine Human is called a servant, namely that it serves the Divine for the purpose of giving man access to Himself, and it serves the human race in their salvation. This then is what is meant by 'Abraham My servant', as also in David, Remember His marvellous acts that He has done, the signs and the judgements of His mouth, O seed of Abraham His servant, O sons of Jacob His chosen ones. He sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had chosen. He remembered His Holy word, with Abraham His servant. Psalms 105:5-6, 26, 42.

Here 'Abraham His servant' is used to mean the Lord's Divine Human. In a similar way the Lord's Divine Human is also meant in the highest sense by 'servant Israel', 'servant Jacob', and 'servant David':

SERVANT ISRAEL

In Isaiah,

You, Israel, My servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham My friend, you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from the extremities 1 of it, and said to you, You are My servant, I have chosen you. Isaiah 41:8-9.

Here, in the highest sense, 'Israel My servant' is the Lord in relation to the internal aspects of the spiritual Church, and 'Jacob' to the external aspects of that Church. In the same prophet,

He said to me, You are My servant Israel in whom I will be rendered glorious. It is a light thing that You should be a servant to Me to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel. And I have given You as a light of the nations, that You may be My salvation right to the ends of the earth. Isaiah 49:3, 6.

Here 'servant Israel in whom I will be rendered glorious' clearly stands for the Lord's Divine Human. Plainly He is called 'a servant' from the service He performs, for it is said 'that You may be a servant to Me to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to bring back the preserved of Israel'.

[3] SERVANT JACOB

In Isaiah,

I will give you the treasures of darkness and the secret riches of hiding-places for the sake of My servant Jacob, and of Israel My chosen. Isaiah 45:3-4.

Here 'servant Jacob' and 'Israel the chosen' are used to mean the Lord - 'servant Jacob' in relation to the external Church, 'Israel the chosen' in relation to the internal Church.

[4] SERVANT DAVID

In Ezekiel,

I will gather the children of Israel from all around. My servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd. They will dwell in the land which I gave to My servant Jacob. And they will dwell in it, they and their sons, and their sons' sons even for ever. And David My servant will be their pence for ever. Ezekiel 37:21, 24-25.

'Servant David' clearly stands for the Lord's Divine Human, 1888, and does so by virtue of Divine Truth which is meant by 'the king', who is David in this case, 1728, 2015, 3009. Also, in relation to good truth itself is the servant, see 3409. This being so the Lord calls Himself one who serves or ministers, in Mark,

Whoever would be great among you must be your minister; and anyone who would be first among you must be the servant of all, even as the Son of Man did not come to be ministered to but to minister. Mark 10:43-45; Matthew 20:26-28.

And in Luke,

Who is the greater, one who sits at table or one who ministers? Is it not the one who sits at table? But I am in the midst of you as one who ministers. Luke 22:27.

Genesis第26章

1 There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

2 Yahweh appeared to him, and said, "Don't go down into Egypt. Live in the land I will tell you about.

3 Live in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you. For to you, and to your seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I swore to Abraham your father.

4 I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky, and will give to your seed all these lands. In your seed will all the nations of the earth be blessed,

5 because Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my requirements, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws."

6 Isaac lived in Gerar.

7 The men of the place asked him about his wife. He said, "She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "My wife," lest, he thought, "the men of the place might kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to look at."

8 It happened, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was caressing Rebekah, his wife.

9 Abimelech called Isaac, and said, "Behold, surely she is your wife. Why did you say, 'She is my sister?'" Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'Lest I die because of her.'"

10 Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us!"

11 Abimelech commanded all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife will surely be put to death."

12 Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him.

13 The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great.

14 He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.

15 Now all the wells which his father's servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped, and filled with earth.

16 Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go from us, for you are much mightier than we."

17 Isaac departed from there, encamped in the valley of Gerar, and lived there.

18 Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father. For the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham. He called their names after the names by which his father had called them.

19 Isaac's servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.

20 The herdsmen of Gerar argued with Isaac's herdsmen, saying, "The water is ours." He called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him.

21 They dug another well, and they argued over that, also. He called its name Sitnah.

22 He left that place, and dug another well. They didn't argue over that one. He called it Rehoboth. He said, "For now Yahweh has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

23 He went up from there to Beersheba.

24 Yahweh appeared to him the same night, and said, "I am the God of Abraham your father. Don't be afraid, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham's sake."

25 He built an altar there, and called on the name of Yahweh, and pitched his tent there. There Isaac's servants dug a well.

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his army.

27 Isaac said to them, "Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?"

28 They said, "We saw plainly that Yahweh was with you. We said, 'Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you,

29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace.' You are now the blessed of Yahweh."

30 He made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

31 They rose up some time in the morning, and swore one to another. Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

32 It happened the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

33 He called it Shibah. Therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wife Judith, the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath, the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

35 They grieved Isaac's and Rebekah's spirits.
