创世记——第二十九章

约拿

创世记第二十九章： 29:1 雅各起行，到了东方人之地， 29:2 看见田间有一口井，有三群羊卧在井旁；因为人饮羊群，都是用那井里的水，井口上的石头是大的。 29:3 常有羊群在那里聚集，牧人把石头转离井口饮羊，随后又把石头放在井口的原处。 29:4 雅各对牧人说：“弟兄们，你们是哪里来的？”他们说：“我们是哈兰来的。” 29:5 他问他们说：“拿鹤的孙子拉班，你们认识吗？”他们说：“我们认识。” 29:6 雅各说：“他平安吗？”他们说：“平安。看哪！他女儿拉胶箪着羊来了。” 29:7 雅各说：“日头还高，不是羊群聚集的时候，你们不如饮羊，再去放一放。” 29:8 他们说：“我们不能，必等羊群聚齐，人把石头转离井口才可饮羊。” 29:9 雅各正和他们说话的时候，拉胶箪着他父亲的羊来了，因为那些羊是她牧放的。 29:10 雅各看见母舅拉班的女儿拉结和母舅拉班的羊群，就上前把石头转离井口，饮他母舅拉班的羊群。 29:11 雅各与拉结亲嘴，就放声而哭。 29:12 雅各告诉拉结，自己是她父亲的外甥，是利百加的儿子，拉结就跑去告诉她父亲。 29:13 拉班听见外甥雅各的信息，就跑去迎接，抱着他，与他亲嘴，领他到自己的家。雅各将一切的情由告诉拉班。 29:14 拉班对他说：“你实在是我的骨肉。”雅各就和他同住了一个月。 29:15 拉班对雅各说：“你虽是我的骨肉（注：原文作“弟兄”），岂可白白地服事我？请告诉我，你要什么为工价？” 29:16 拉班有两个女儿：大的名叫利亚，小的名叫拉结。 29:17 利亚的眼睛没有神气，拉结却生得美貌俊秀。 29:18 雅各爱拉结，就说：“我愿为你小女儿拉结服事你七年。” 29:19 拉班说：“我把她给你，胜似给别人，你与我同住吧！” 29:20 雅各就为拉结服事了七年。他因为深爱拉结，就看这七年如同几天。 29:21 雅各对拉班说：“日期已经满了，求你把我的妻子给我，我好与她同房。” 29:22 拉班就摆设筵席，请齐了那地方的众人。 29:23 到晚上，拉班将女儿利亚送来给雅各，雅各就与她同房。 29:24 拉班又将婢女悉帕给女儿利亚作使女。 29:25 到了早晨，雅各一看是利亚，就对拉班说：“你向我做的是什么事呢？我服事你，不是为拉结吗？你为什么欺哄我呢？” 29:26 拉班说：“大女儿还没有给人，先把小女儿给人，在我们这地方没有这规矩。 29:27 你为这个满了七日，我就把那个也给你，你再为她服事我七年。” 29:28 雅各就如此行。满了利亚的七日，拉班便将女儿拉结给雅各为妻。 29:29 拉班又将婢女辟拉给女儿拉结作使女。 29:30 雅各也与拉结同房，并且爱拉结胜似爱利亚，于是又服事了拉班七年。 29:31 耶和华见利亚失宠（注：原文作“被恨”。下同），就使她生育，拉结却不生育。 29:32 利亚怀孕生子，就给他起名叫吕便（注：就是“有儿子”的意思），因而说：“耶和华看见我的苦情，如今我的丈夫必爱我。” 29:33 她又怀孕生子，就说：“耶和华因为听见我失宠，所以又赐给我这个儿子。”于是给他起名叫西缅（注：就是“听见”的意思）。 29:34 她又怀孕生子，起名叫利未，（注：就是“联合”的意思），说：“我给丈夫生了三个儿子，他必与我联合。” 29:35 她又怀孕生子，说：“这回我要赞美耶和华。”因此给他起名叫犹大（注：就是“赞美”的意思）。这才停了生育。

3．雅各与妻子及其后裔（二九1～三Ｏ24）

　　二九1～14 雅各离开别是巴往哈兰时八十七岁。他要服事舅父拉班二十年，返回迦南三十三年，人生最后十七年却留在埃及。他抵达巴旦亚兰，就被领到田间，有从哈兰来的牧人在那里照料羊群。神安排的时间天衣无缝，正当雅各与牧人交谈时，拉结就领着羊群来到这里（女子放羊在中东是很普遍且平常之事）。雅各是个好牧人，就奇怪为什么所有牧人在日间仍可喂羊的时候，守在井旁。他们解释，必等羊群聚齐，才把井盖打开。雅各遇见表妹拉结的这一刻，情感激荡，稍后，拉班遇见外甥雅各的时候，也是一样。

　　二九15～35 “你虽是我的骨肉，岂可白白的服事我；请告诉我，你要什么为工价？”这话表面好听得很，其实拉班的意思是说，你不应当白吃我的饭，应当给我作一点事情，我就给你一点钱。拉班不过用一句好听的话来说出他的意思而已。从前雅各在家里是作儿子，今天在这里竟作了雇工，这是神在环境中给他的管教。

　　拉班答应雅各服事他七年，就可娶拉结为妻。雅各因为深爱拉结，就看这七年如同几天。人为了心里所切望的东西，即使长时间工作也觉值得。我们事奉主也当如此。我们最着要和最有价值的目标，都值得我们付上代价，并专心等候。电视电影给我们一些错觉：所有问题都要在一小时内解决，我们想要的东西要立刻得到。我们不要跌入这种思想的陷阱里，真正的生活并非如此。忍耐是我们最需要的，也是最难做到的事情，不过它又是达成目标的关键。

　　利亚双眼无神（年青女子最能吸引异性的地方，就是眼目流露灵秀之气），外表不甚吸引人。拉结却生得美貌俊秀。按习俗，新婚当晚，新娘披着面纱进入新郎房间，也许房间还漆黑一片！你可以想象，雅各在第二天清早醒来，发觉新娘原来是利亚，可真怒发冲冠！

　　拉班戏弄他，但借口说按当地习俗，长女要先出嫁。拉班又说：“你为这个满了七日（即是说，他要完成与利亚的婚礼），我就把那个（拉结）也给你，你再为她服事我七年。”拉班的聪明在于知道雅各不会为利亚而服事他七年，所以藉这个手段再多利用他七年。拉班为两个女儿只摆设了一次婚筵，这是他吝啬的又一实例。七天的婚筵过后，雅各也娶了拉结为妻，再为她服事拉班多七年。

　　雅各欺骗过人，这时自作自受！拉班的头脑其实和雅各一样，也是一个作买卖的头脑。脾气急的人碰着脾气急的人，鄙吝的人碰着鄙吝的人，骄傲的人碰着骄傲的人，喜欢占便宜的人碰着喜欢占便宜的人，这些都是神的磨练和对付。因着神的管教，把雅各放在拉班这样的人那里。“雅各”这名字，今天已成为刁滑聪明的代名词，但神竟安排让他遇见拉班，这真是够他受的。今天，每一个雅各都会碰见拉班，被他用极端不公义的方法欺骗；但怎知这不也是神管治的手，要使我们得益处呢？

　　主看见利亚失宠（即是，雅各爱拉结胜似爱利亚），就赐她儿女作补偿。神赐补偿的这种法则历世不衰：人失之在此，就使他得之在彼。从利亚给孩子起的名，可见她认识主（32，33和35节）。从她而出的有祭司（利未）王族（犹大），最后是基督。在本章，我们先看见雅各首四个儿子。雅各的儿子详列如下。

　　利亚所生的： 　　流便——看见，有儿子的意思（二九32） 　　西缅——听见的意思（二九33） 　　利未——联合的意思（二九34） 　　犹大——赞美的意思（二九35） 　　以萨迦——价值的意思（三Ｏ18） 　　西布伦——同住的意思（三Ｏ20）

　　拉结使女辟拉所生的： 　　但——伸冤的意思（三Ｏ6） 　　拿弗他利——相争的意思（三Ｏ8）

　　利亚使女悉帕所生的： 　　迦得——万幸的意思（三Ｏ11） 　　亚没——有福的意思（三Ｏ13）

　　拉结所生的： 　　约瑟——增添的意思（三Ｏ24） 　　便雅悯——右手之子的意思（三五18）

梅花

在二十九章雅各到哈兰投靠拉班时应该是七十七岁吧？推算方法是这样：雅各见法老时是130岁（创47章9节）这时约瑟应是39岁，因约瑟出监见法老时是30岁（创41：46），其后过了7年丰年（创41：53），又过了2年的荒年（创45：6）加起来正好是39岁。130-39=91岁：约瑟出生时雅各91岁，约瑟出生时雅各已在哈兰服侍拉班14年了（创30：25），91-14=77岁。想想一个77岁的人见了表妹拉结放声而哭，可见雅各在这之前真是没受过委屈，他常住帐棚，又有母亲的庇护真是没经过风雨，不知不觉人生已过了一半，如果神再不造就他也许一生就这么过去了。可是因着欺骗哥哥，哥哥要杀他，他逃到舅舅家以至于成了他人生的转折点，开始了神造就他的生活。一路之上，既有孤单、痛苦、剥夺、对付，也有神的话语、安慰、祝福、保守，丰富的人生才刚开始。

与主相遇

哈哈~~~你们把雅各的年龄算的都不对吧~??他去拉班那里的时候好像并没有那么老哟?嘿嘿!不过我现在太忙啦!没时间去算等我有时间我再好好帮你们算算噢!

说的好!~哈哈有意思~

Genesis 29 Jacob Meets Rachel 1Then Jacob [a]went on his journey, and came to the land of (A)the sons of the east. 2He looked, and saw (B)a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large. 3When all the flocks were gathered there, they would then roll the stone from the mouth of the well and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well. 4Jacob said to them, "My brothers, where are you from?" And they said, "We are from (C)Haran." 5He said to them, "Do you know Laban the (D)son of Nahor?" And they said, "We know him." 6And he said to them, "Is it well with him?" And they said, "It is well, and here is (E)Rachel his daughter coming with the sheep." 7He said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them." 8But they said, "We cannot, until all the flocks are gathered, and they roll the stone from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep." 9While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess. 10When Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the mouth of the well and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother. 11Then Jacob (F)kissed Rachel, and lifted his voice and wept. 12Jacob told Rachel that he was a (G)relative of her father and that he was Rebekah's son, and (H)she ran and told her father. 13So when (I)Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and (J)embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things. 14Laban said to him, "Surely you are (K)my bone and my flesh." And he stayed with him a month. 15Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall (L)your wages be?" 16Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17And Leah's eyes were weak, but Rachel was (M)beautiful of form and face. 18Now Jacob (N)loved Rachel, so he said, "(O)I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel." 19Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me." 20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days (P)because of his love for her. Laban's Treachery 21Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may (Q)go in to her." 22Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast. 23Now in the evening he took his daughter Leah, and brought her to him; and Jacob went in to her. 24Laban also gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. 25So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, "(R)What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you (S)deceived me?" 26But Laban said, "It is not the practice in our place to marry off the younger before the firstborn. 27"Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which (T)you shall serve with me for another seven years." 28Jacob did so and completed her week, and he gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife. 29Laban also gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maid. 30So Jacob went in to Rachel also, and indeed (U)he loved Rachel more than Leah, and he served with Laban for (V)another seven years. 31Now the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, and He opened her womb, but Rachel was barren. 32Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has (W)seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me." 33Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, "(X)Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon. 34She conceived again and bore a son and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore he was named (Y)Levi. 35And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she named him (Z)Judah. Then she stopped bearing.
