创世记第28章

《圣经》创世记-第28章

创28:1 以撒叫了雅各来，给他祝福，并嘱咐他说：“你不要娶迦南的女子为妻。 (串)本章6|创24:3;27:46

†[吕]以撒把雅各叫了来，给他祝福，吩咐他说：“你不要娶迦南的女子为妻。

†[思]依撒格叫了雅各伯来，祝福他，吩咐他说：“你不要娶客纳罕女人为妻。

†[当代]以撒把雅各叫来，给他祝福，又嘱咐他说：“你不要娶迦南的女子为妻。

†[新译]以撒把雅各叫了来，给他祝福，并且吩咐他，说：“你不可娶迦南的女子为妻。

†[Wlb]以撒召雅各、为之祝嘏、嘱曰、毋娶迦南女为室、

†[Xdv]以撒叫雅各到跟前，祝福他，并且吩咐他：“你不要跟迦南女子结婚。

†[Kjv]And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.

†[Nkjv]Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

†[BBE]Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

†[GNT] Isaac called Jacob, greeted him, and told him, "Don't marry a Canaanite.

†[NIV]So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him and commanded him: "Do not marry a Canaanite woman.

本会注释　　以撒接受了利百加的提议，派雅各前往巴旦亚兰（见对@创25:20@节的注释）。不论以撒知不知道以扫的阴谋，他无疑意识到最好让雅各和以扫分开，直到家庭的紧张气氛得到缓和。

创28:2 你起身往巴但亚兰去，到你外祖彼土利家里，在你母舅拉班的女儿中娶一女为妻。 (串)创25:20;31:18|创22:22

†[吕]你起身往巴旦亚兰去，到你外祖彼土利家里，从那里娶你母舅拉班的女儿为妻。

†[思]你应起身往帕丹阿兰你外祖父贝突耳家去，在那娶你舅父拉班的女儿为妻。

†[当代]起来，到巴旦亚兰你外祖父彼土利的家里，在舅父拉班的女儿中选一个做妻子。

†[新译]起来，到巴旦亚兰你外祖父彼土利的家里去，在那里娶你舅父拉班的一个女儿为妻。

†[Wlb]起往巴旦亚兰、诣尔母父彼土利家、娶尔母兄拉班之女为室、

†[Xdv]你要到美索不达米亚、你外祖父彼土利家，在你舅舅拉班那里跟他的一个女儿结婚。

†[Kjv]Arise, go to Padanaram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughers of Laban thy mother's brother.

†[Nkjv]Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother's father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother's brother.

†[BBE]But go to Paddan-aram, to the house of Bethuel, your mother's father, and there get yourself a wife from the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

†[GNT] Go instead to Mesopotamia, to the home of your grandfather Bethuel, and marry one of the young women there, one of your uncle Laban's daughters.

†[NIV]Go at once to Paddan Aram, to the house of your mother's father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.

创28:3 愿全能的上帝赐福给你，使你生养众多，成为多族， (串)创17:1

†[吕]愿全能的上帝赐福与你，使你繁殖增多，成为集团民族。

†[思]愿全能的天主祝福你，使你生育繁殖，成为一大家族。

†[当代]愿全能的上帝赐福给你，使你的后代众多，成为一个拥有多个种族的大国家。

†[新译]愿全能的　神赐福给你，使你繁殖增多，成为大族。

†[Wlb]愿全能之上帝、锡嘏于尔、使尔生育繁衍、为众族祖、

†[Xdv]愿全能的上帝使你的婚姻蒙福，生养众多，作许多民族的祖先！

†[Kjv]And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people;

†[Nkjv]"May God Almighty bless you, And make you fruitful and multiply you, That you may be an assembly of peoples;

†[BBE]And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

†[GNT] May Almighty God bless your marriage and give you many children, so that you will become the father of many nations!

†[NIV]May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and increase your numbers until you become a community of peoples.

创28:4 将应许亚伯拉罕的福赐给你和你的后裔，使你承受你所寄居的地为业，就是上帝赐给亚伯拉罕的地。” (串)创12:2,3|创17:8;36:7;37:1

†[吕]愿上帝将给亚伯拉罕祝的福赐给你，给你和你的后裔，使你取得你所寄居的地以为业，就是上帝所赐给亚伯拉罕的。

†[思]愿天主将亚巴郎的祝福赐与你和你的后裔，使你承受你所住的地方，即天主赐与亚巴郎的土地作为产业。”

†[当代]愿上帝把赐给亚伯拉罕的福气也同样赐给你和你的后代，让你承受你寄居的地方，也就是上帝答应给亚伯拉罕的地方，作为产业。”

†[新译]愿　神把应许给亚伯拉罕的福，赐给你和你的后裔，使你可以得着你寄居的地为业，就是　神赐给亚伯拉罕的。”

†[Wlb]以亚伯拉罕之嘏锡尔、及尔苗裔、俾承所旅之地、即昔上帝所赐亚伯拉罕者、

†[Xdv]愿他赐福给你和你的子孙，像赐福给亚伯拉罕一样。愿你拥有你现在居住的地方，就是上帝赐给亚伯拉罕的土地。”

†[Kjv]And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

†[Nkjv]And give you the blessing of Abraham, To you and your descendants with you, That you may inherit the land In which you are a stranger, Which God gave to Abraham."

†[BBE]And may God give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your seed, so that the land of your wanderings, which God gave to Abraham, may be your heritage.

†[GNT] May he bless you and your descendants as he blessed Abraham, and may you take possession of this land, in which you have lived and which God gave to Abraham!"

†[NIV]May he give you and your descendants the blessing given to Abraham, so that you may take possession of the land where you now live as an alien, the land God gave to Abraham."

本会注释　　正式的家系应由雅各继承。因此，不断应许赐给亚伯拉罕的福气现在托付给了雅各（见创17:2-8；22:16-18）。他背负着罪担，同时也带着父亲的祝福离开了家。

创28:5 以撒打发雅各走了，他就往巴但亚兰去，到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班是雅各、以扫的母舅。

†[吕]以撒打发雅各走了，雅各就往巴旦亚兰去，到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里：拉班是雅各以扫的母亲利百加的哥哥。

†[思]依撒格就这样打发了雅各伯往帕丹阿兰，投往阿兰人贝突耳的儿子拉班，即雅各伯和厄撒乌的母亲黎贝加的哥哥那去了。

†[当代]雅各便离开父亲往巴旦亚兰去，来到亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班就是雅各和以扫的舅父。

†[新译]于是，以撒打发雅各去了，雅各就往巴旦亚兰去，到了亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班就是雅各和以扫的母亲利百加的哥哥。

†[Wlb]以撒遣雅各、遂往巴旦亚兰、投亚兰人彼土利子拉班、即以扫雅各母利百加之兄、

†[Xdv]于是，以撒打发雅各到美索不达米亚、他外祖父亚兰人彼土利的儿子拉班那里。拉班是利百加的哥哥，以扫和雅各的舅父。

†[Kjv]And Isaac sent away Jacob: and he went to Padanaram unto Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob's and Esau's mother.

†[Nkjv]So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

†[BBE]So Isaac sent Jacob away: and he went to Paddan-aram, to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramaean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

†[GNT] Isaac sent Jacob away to Mesopotamia, to Laban, who was the son of Bethuel the Aramean and the brother of Rebecca, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

†[NIV]Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.

本会注释　　亚兰人。见@创25:20@注释。摩西有意地将雅各的名字放在以扫之前，因为雅各现在不仅拥有长子的名分，而且还拥有亚伯拉罕的福气。

创28:6 以扫见以撒已经给雅各祝福，而且打发他往巴但亚兰去，在那里娶妻，并见祝福的时候嘱咐他说：“不要娶迦南的女子为妻”，

†[吕]以扫见以撒已经给雅各祝福，又打发他往巴旦亚兰去、从那里娶妻，并见给他祝福时吩咐他说：“不要娶迦南的女子为妻”；

†[思]厄撒乌见依撒格祝福了雅各伯，打发他到帕丹阿兰去，在那娶妻；祝福他时还吩咐他说：“不要娶客纳罕女人为妻。”

†[当代]以扫看见父亲给雅各祝福，又打发他到巴旦亚兰，要他在那里娶妻，并且再三叮嘱他不要娶迦南的女子；

†[新译]以扫见以撒给雅各祝福，又打发他到巴旦亚兰去，在那里娶妻；又见以撒给雅各祝福的时候，吩咐他说：“你不可娶迦南的女子为妻”；

†[Wlb]以扫见以撒为雅各祝嘏、遣至巴旦亚兰、在彼娶妻、祝时、嘱其毋娶迦南女为室、

†[Xdv]以扫知道以撒祝福雅各，送他到美索不达米亚娶妻，也知道以撒祝福他的时候吩咐他不可跟迦南的女子结婚，

†[Kjv]When Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padanaram, to take him a wife from thence; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughers of Canaan;

†[Nkjv]Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, "You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,"

†[BBE]So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

†[GNT] Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Mesopotamia to find a wife. He also learned that when Isaac blessed him, he commanded him not to marry a Canaanite woman.

†[NIV]Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, "Do not marry a Canaanite woman,"

创28:7 又见雅各听从父母的话往巴但亚兰去了，

†[吕]又见雅各听从了他父亲和母亲的话，往巴旦亚兰去了；

†[思]厄撒乌见雅各伯听从父母的命，往帕丹阿兰去了，

†[当代]又看见雅各听从父母到巴旦亚兰去。

†[新译]又见雅各听从了他父母的话，到巴旦亚兰去了；

†[Wlb]又见雅各循父母命、往巴旦亚兰、

†[Xdv]而雅各听从父母的命令到美索不达米亚去了。

†[Kjv]And that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padanaram;

†[Nkjv]and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Padan Aram.

†[BBE]And that Jacob had done as his father and mother said and had gone to Paddan-aram;

†[GNT] He found out that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Mesopotamia.

†[NIV]and that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother and had gone to Paddan Aram.

创28:8 以扫就晓得他父亲以撒看不中迦南的女子， (串)创24:3;26:34,35

†[吕]以扫就看出、在他父亲以撒眼中、迦南的女子父亲是不惬意的。

†[思]便明白父亲依撒格不喜欢客纳罕女子。

†[当代]就知道父亲不喜欢迦南的女子。

†[新译]以扫就看出，他父亲以撒不喜欢迦南的女子。

†[Wlb]知迦南女不悦于父、

†[Xdv]以扫这才明白他父亲以撒不喜欢他的迦南妻子。

†[Kjv]And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father;

†[Nkjv]Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac.

†[BBE]It was clear to Esau that his father had no love for the women of Canaan,

†[GNT] Esau then understood that his father Isaac did not approve of Canaanite women.

†[NIV]Esau then realized how displeasing the Canaanite women were to his father Isaac;

创28:9 便往以实玛利那里去，在他二妻之外又娶了玛哈拉为妻。她是亚伯拉罕儿子以实玛利的女儿，尼拜约的妹子。 (串)创25:13;36:3|创36:3

†[吕]以扫便往以实玛利那里去，在他两个妻子以外、又娶了玛哈拉为妻：玛哈拉是亚伯拉罕的儿子以实玛利的女儿，是尼拜约的妹妹。

†[思]所以他去了依市玛耳那，除自己所有的两个妻子外，又娶了亚巴郎之子依市玛耳的女儿乃巴约特的妹妹玛哈拉特为妻。

†[当代]于是，他便到亚伯拉罕的儿子以实玛利那里，娶了以实玛利的女儿尼拜约的妹妹玛哈拉为妻。在迎娶玛哈拉以前，他已经有两个妻子了。

†[新译]于是，以扫到以实玛利那里去，在他两个妻子以外，娶了玛哈拉为妻。玛哈拉就是亚伯拉罕的儿子以实玛利的女儿，尼拜约的妹妹。

†[Wlb]乃适以实玛利家、于其二妻外、更娶亚伯拉罕孙、以实玛利女、尼拜约妹玛哈拉为室、

†[Xdv]因此，他到亚伯拉罕的儿子以实玛利那里，跟他的女儿玛哈拉结婚；玛哈拉就是尼拜约的妹妹。

†[Kjv]Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

†[Nkjv]So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

†[BBE]So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

†[GNT] So he went to Ishmael son of Abraham and married his daughter Mahalath, who was the sister of Nebaioth.

†[NIV]so he went to Ishmael and married Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth and daughter of Ishmael son of Abraham, in addition to the wives he already had.

本会注释　　以扫从以撒对雅各的祝福以及要雅各从美索不达米亚的亲戚当中娶妻的嘱托中，看出父母对他赫人妻子根深蒂固的不悦。无疑是为了取悦于父母，他从祖父亚伯拉罕的家族中娶了一位妻子，正如雅各蒙指示要从他母舅拉班的家中娶妻一样。他所娶的妻子玛哈拉，即巴实抹（创36:3）与以撒有血缘关系，正如雅各的妻子拉结与他的母亲利百加有血缘关系一样。以扫娶了他父亲的侄女为妻；雅各则娶了他母亲的外甥女为妻。以扫“往以实玛利那里去”，一定是指“往以实玛利的家族那里去”，因为以实玛利约十四年以前就已去世了（见@创25:19@、@创27:1@注释）。

创28:10 雅各出了别是巴，向哈兰走去； (串)创21:32;26:33|徒7:2

†[吕]雅各出了别是巴，向着喀兰走去。

†[思]雅各伯离开贝尔舍巴，往哈兰去了。

†[当代]雅各离开别是巴，起程到哈兰去。

†[新译]雅各离开别是巴，到哈兰去。

†[Wlb]雅各离别是巴、向哈兰而行、

†[Xdv]雅各离开别是巴往哈兰去。

†[Kjv]And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.

†[Nkjv]Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran.

†[BBE]So Jacob went out from Beer-sheba to go to Haran.

†[GNT] Jacob left Beersheba and started toward Haran.

†[NIV]Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.

本会注释　　雅各顺从他母亲的意愿和他父亲的命令出发了（见箴1:8）。他虽然已经七十七岁了（见@创27:1@注释），但仍尊重父母并顺服他们的权威。只要这种行为不与效忠于上帝产生冲突，他孝敬的榜样可以为每一位有教养的儿女所效法（箴6:20；玛1:6；弗6:1-3）。
　　向哈兰走去。雅各的目的地是美索不达米亚北部巴里赫河边的著名城市。这是他拉从吾珥迁移出来后定居的地方（创11:31）。近一个世纪前以利以谢来访的时候（《先祖与先知》188页），彼土利的家族包括拉班都生活在离哈兰不远的“拿鹤的城”（见@创24:10@注释）。这说明利百加离开父家之后他们从拿鹤的城迁到了哈兰。利百加嘱咐雅各直接到哈兰而不是到拿鹤的城去（创27:43），说明在别是巴人们都知道拉班的家族做过这样的迁移。

创28:11 到了一个地方，因为太阳落了，就在那里住宿，便拾起那地方的一块石头枕在头下，在那里躺卧睡了，

†[吕]碰巧到了一个有名的圣地，因为日落了，就在那里过夜；他拿了那地方的一块石头，于在头底下，就在那地方躺下睡了。

†[思]他来到一个地方，因太阳已落，就在那过宿，随地拿了一块石头，放在头底下，就在那地方躺下睡了。

†[当代]他来到一个地方，因为当时太阳已经下了山，于是他便拾了一块石作枕头，躺下睡觉。

†[新译]来到一个地方，就在那里过夜，因为太阳已经落了。他拾起那地方的一块石头，把它放在头底下作枕头，就在那里躺下睡了。

†[Wlb]日既没、至一方宿焉、取石为枕而卧、

†[Xdv]日落时，他来到一个地方，在那里过夜；他搬一块石头来作枕头，躺在地上（或译：一个圣址），睡着了。

†[Kjv]And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.

†[Nkjv]So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

†[BBE]And coming to a certain place, he made it his resting-place for the night, for the sun had gone down; and he took one of the stones which were there, and putting it under his head he went to sleep in that place.

†[GNT] At sunset he came to a holy place and camped there. He lay down to sleep, resting his head on a stone.

†[NIV]When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.

本会注释　　在第二天即将结束的时候，雅各来到路斯城附近（第19节），该城位于别是巴以北近80公里的地方。他决定不在城中过夜因为他惧怕迦南人。关于不进城过夜的理由，约瑟弗斯的解释是他仇恨他们（《上古史》第一卷第19章第1节），这个理由是不充分的。
　　枕在头下。雅各拿了一块石头“枕在头下”。古人的枕头与我们现在的不一样。在许多东方国家，人们用木头、泥土、石头或金属作枕头使用，至今依然如此。埃及保存了许多这样的古枕。由于它们都是用质地坚硬的材料制成的，因此旅行者不需携带。只要有一块光滑的石头就够了。因此，对雅各来说将头枕在石头上睡觉并不是一件痛苦的事情。这里提到石头是为下文中石头的使用埋下一个伏笔（第22节）。

创28:12 梦见一个梯子立在地上，梯子的头顶着天，有上帝的使者在梯子上，上去下来。 (串)民12:6伯33:15,16|约1:51

†[吕]他作了一个梦，见有一道台阶立在地上、其上头顶着天；竟有上帝的使者在台阶上上下下呢。

†[思]他作了一梦：见一个梯子直立在地上，梯顶与天相接；天主的使者在梯子上，上去下来。

†[当代]他做了一个梦，梦见有一道直通到天上的梯子，又看见有天使在梯子上面走上去走下来。

†[新译]他作了一个梦，梦见一个梯子立在地上，梯顶直通到天，　神的众使者在梯子上下往来。

†[Wlb]梦有梯立于地、顶及于天、上帝之使、陟降其上、

†[Xdv]他梦见有一个梯子从地上通到天上；在梯子上，上帝的使者上下往来。

†[Kjv]And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

†[Nkjv]Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

†[BBE]And he had a dream, and in his dream he saw steps stretching from earth to heaven, and the angels of God were going up and down on them.

†[GNT] He dreamed that he saw a stairway reaching from earth to heaven, with angels going up and coming down on it.

†[NIV]He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

怀爱伦注释　　凡是登高的人务要稳固自己的脚──耶稣乃是通达天国的梯子……上帝呼召我们要登上这架梯子，可是我们因背负沉重的属世的财物而不能上去，当我们把个人的利益和使自己的方便居先于上帝的事物，我们就必自误了，凡属于世上的一切所有财物是不能从中得到救法的，上帝不能由于人拥有世上的财富而褒奖和信任他，我们若要得到登高的真实经验，务要学习在我们上登梯子时，必须将各样障碍物丢在后面，那些攀登的人，他们的脚必须在每个梯级上站立得稳固。（《时兆》1899.2.1）
怀爱伦注释　　基督是跨越鸿沟的桥──雅各认为得到长子权就必须藉着欺骗的手段，但是他发现自己已绝望了，他以为他已失去了一切，就是失去他与上帝的联络，和他的家以及一切所有，在此他只是一个失意的亡命者而已，但是上帝要为他作什么呢？祂乃在他绝境时看顾他，祂看见他的失望，也看见他在那里带回财物报答上帝而荣耀衪，当上帝一看见雅各的景况，便向他显现那架神秘的梯子，这梯子就是代表耶稣基督，这里是一个已与上帝失去一切联络的人，但天上的上帝却看顾他，并应许基督必要作为一架因罪而造成鸿沟的驾桥。我们可能曾仰望说，我所久已渴望的天国，怎能到达那里呢？我看不见有通往那里的道路，而这也正是雅各所思想的。因此，上帝便向他显示那架梯子的异象，而这梯子能将地与天并与耶稣基督接连起来，人们可以登上这梯子，因为它的根基是在地上，而它最顶端的梯级乃直达天国……
　　你们住在地上的人哪，你们要赞美祂！为什么呢？因为藉着耶稣基督──祂用自己人的长长手臂环围人类，同时又用祂神的手臂抓住那无穷者的宝座──祂以自己的身体作为鸿沟的驾桥，而且这个因罪与天国隔离的极小的世界，藉着基督，鸿沟的驾桥而又恢复成一个岛屿了。（1891.5号手稿）
本会注释　　雅各正躺在那里，疲倦、孤独和悲伤的时候，他的心在祷告中转向了上帝（《先祖与先知》183页）。这是他做梦前的思想状态。经过了两个漫长的日子之后，上帝才向他显现。在这段时间里，他有机会反省他的所做所为，并意识自己的无助。上帝眷佑的耽搁往往是为了洁净人心，并引领人毫无保留地依赖上帝的怜悯与恩典（见《历代愿望》第200,380-382页）。那梯子是天上的上帝与祂地上的子民之间不断真实交往的一个看得见的象征。天使上去将人类的需求陈明于上帝面前，又带着上帝扶助和保护的应许下来。那梯子看起来是立在地上的，就是雅各所躺卧孤独、穷乏和被人厌弃的地方。耶和华在梯子的天顶上，亲自向雅各宣布祂是他列祖的上帝。祂不仅向他明确了向他列祖所发的一切应许──占有迦南地，多子多孙，成为全人类的福气（见创12:2,3；13:14-17；15:5,7,16；17:2-6,16；17:8；18:18；22:17,18；26:3,4,24）──而且向他保证会一路保护他以及平安回家。由于对雅各所发的这个应许要在遥远的未来才应验，所以上帝加上了确实的保证说：“我总不离弃你，直到我成全了向你所应许的。”

创28:13 耶和华站在梯子以上（或作：站在他旁边），说：“我是耶和华你祖亚伯拉罕的上帝，也是以撒的上帝；我要将你现在所躺卧之地赐给你和你的后裔。 (串)创26:24|创13:15;35:12

†[吕]看哪，永恒主站在他旁边（或译：在台阶上），说：“我是永恒主，你祖父亚伯拉罕的上帝，以撒的上帝；你所躺卧的地我要赐给你和你的后裔。

†[思]上主立在梯上说：“我是上主，你父亚巴郎的天主，依撒格的天主。我要将你所躺的地方，赐给你和你的后裔。

†[当代]主站在梯顶之上对雅各说：“我是你祖父亚伯拉罕的上帝，也是以撒的上帝。我要把你现在躺卧的地方赐给你和你的后代。

†[新译]耶和华站在梯子上，说：“我是耶和华你祖父亚伯拉罕的　神，也是以撒的　神，我要把你现在躺着的这块地赐给你和你的后裔。

†[Wlb]耶和华立其巅曰、我乃耶和华、尔祖亚伯拉罕、与以撒之上帝、尔所寝之地、悉以畀尔、爰及苗裔、

†[Xdv]他又看见上帝站在他旁边（或译：在梯子上面），对他说：“我是上主，是你祖父亚伯拉罕的上帝和以撒的上帝；我要把你现在躺着的这块土地赐给你和你的后代。

†[Kjv]And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;

†[Nkjv]And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.

†[BBE]And he saw the Lord by his side, saying, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac: I will give to you and to your seed this land on which you are sleeping.

†[GNT] And there was the Lord standing beside him. "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham and Isaac," he said. "I will give to you and to your descendants this land on which you are lying.

†[NIV]There above it stood the Lord , and he said: "I am the Lord , the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying.

创28:14 你的后裔必象地上的尘沙那样多，必向东西南北开展；地上万族必因你和你的后裔得福。 (串)创13:16|创12:3

†[吕]你的后裔必像地上的尘沙那么多；你必向西向东向北向南突破疆界；地上万宗族必用你的名和你后裔的名给自己祝福。

†[思]你的后裔要多得如地上的灰尘；你要向东西南北扩展，地上的万民都要因你和你的后裔蒙受祝福。

†[当代]你的后代一定会像沙尘那么多，他们会遍布四方，地上万族必因你和你的后代而蒙福。

†[新译]你的后裔必像地面的灰尘那么多；你必向东、南、西、北扩展；地上的万族必因你和你的后裔得福。

†[思]看我与你同在；你不论到那，我必护佑你，领你回到此地。我决不离弃你，直到我实践了我对你所许的。”

创28:16 雅各睡醒了，说：“耶和华真在这里，我竟不知道！” (串)徒12:11

†[吕]雅各睡醒了来，就说：“永恒主居然在这地方，我竟不知道阿！”

†[思]雅各伯一觉醒来，说：“上主实在在这地方，我竟不知道。”

†[当代]雅各一觉醒来，想起了自己做的梦，就战兢地说：“上帝一定是在这里，我竟然糊涂得不知道。

†[新译]雅各一觉醒来，说：“耶和华确实在这地方，我竟不知道！”

†[Wlb]雅各醒曰、耶和华果在此、而我不知、

†[Xdv]雅各一觉醒来，说：“上主确实在这地方，我竟不晓得！”

†[Kjv]And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it."

†[BBE]And Jacob, awaking from his sleep, said, Truly, the Lord is in this place and I was not conscious of it.

†[GNT] Jacob woke up and said, "The Lord is here! He is in this place, and I didn't know it!"

†[NIV]When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it."

本会注释　　雅各的话语并不象某些圣经注释家所认为的，说这表明雅各认为上帝只在某些圣地显现，而他正巧到了这些圣地中的一个。其实，这是他惊喜和感叹自己并不象所想象的那样孤独，而上帝就在旁边。雅各的语从某种意义上说是一种自责。他承认是他信心的缺乏造成了他的灰心。在他感到最为孤独的时候，他发现上帝比以前任何时候都更加接近和真实。

创28:17 就惧怕，说：“这地方何等可畏！这不是别的，乃是上帝的殿，也是天的门。”

†[吕]就起了敬畏的心、说：“这地方何等可畏阿！这不是别的；这就是上帝的殿！这就是天门！”

†[思]他又满怀敬畏地说：“这地方多么可畏！这不是别处，乃是天主的住所，上天之门。”

†[当代]这地方真是神圣的啊！这里原来不是别的地方，是上帝的家，也是天的门啊！”

†[新译]他就惧怕起来，说：“这地方多么可畏啊，这不是别的地方，而是　神的殿，是天的门。”

†[Wlb]乃惧、曰、此地何其可畏、非他、乃上帝之室、天之门也、

†[Xdv]他就害怕，又说：“这地方多么可畏；这里一定是上帝的家，是通往天上的门户。”

†[Kjv]And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.

†[Nkjv]And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!"

†[BBE]And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.

†[GNT] He was afraid and said, "What a terrifying place this is! It must be the house of God; it must be the gate that opens into heaven."

†[NIV]He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."

本会注释　　那些获得上帝启示之特权的人会在心中产生一种深刻的敬畏感。以赛亚所感到的是一种负罪感。这种感觉是如此强烈，以至他为自己的性命担心（赛6:5）。类似的经验这时也使雅各意识到自己的不配与罪过。他虽然诚恐万分，但他知道这里是“上帝的殿”（Beth-`Elohim），一个平安和安全的家。

创28:18 雅各清早起来，把所枕的石头立作柱子，浇油在上面。 (串)创31:45;35:14撒上7:12撒下18:18|创31:13出30:26利8:10,11

†[吕]雅各清早起来，拿放在头底下的石头立为圣柱，浇油在那上头。

†[思]雅各伯清早一起来，就把那块放在头底下的石头，立作石柱，在顶上倒了油，

†[当代]雅各清早起床，把晚上所枕首的那石头立成柱子作为纪念，又在上面浇油。

†[新译]雅各清早起来，把他曾经放在头底下作枕头的那块石头，立作石柱，在柱上浇了油。

†[Wlb]雅各夙兴、以所枕之石立为柱、倾膏其上、

†[Xdv]第二天一早，雅各起来，把他用来作枕头的那块石头立为纪念碑，在石头上浇了油，献给上帝。

†[Kjv]And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put for his pillows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

†[BBE]And early in the morning Jacob took the stone which had been under his head, and put it up as a pillar and put oil on it.

†[GNT] Jacob got up early next morning, took the stone that was under his head, and set it up as a memorial. Then he poured olive oil on it to dedicate it to God.

†[NIV]Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.

本会注释　　他用作枕头的那块石头成为一个纪念碑，纪念他从上帝那里所领受的启示。他在其上浇油，将它奉献作为上帝在那里向他显示仁慈的纪念（见出30:26-30）。这个“柱子”绝不是崇拜的对象。柱像的崇拜的确存在于迦南人当中，但这是上帝所严厉禁止的（见利26:1；申16:22）。可是后来以色列人违反了上帝的这一禁令，设立柱子（“偶像”）作为膜拜的对象（见王上14:23；王下18:4；23:14；代下14:3；31:1；何10:1,2；弥5:13）。但如下例所示，并不是每一根所立的柱子都有这样的意义。雅各曾立柱纪念他与拉班所立的约（创31:45），后来又立柱作为拉结的墓碑（创35:20）。押沙龙曾立柱为自己留名（撒下18:18）。

创28:19 他就给那地方起名叫伯特利（就是上帝殿的意思）；但那地方起先名叫路斯。 (串)创35:6士1:23|士1:26

†[吕]就给那地方起名叫伯特利（或译：上帝的殿）；那城的名字原来叫做路斯。

†[思]给那地方起名叫贝特耳，原先那城名叫路次。

†[当代]他叫那地方作伯特利，意思是上帝的家，那地方以前的名字是路斯。

†[新译]他就给那地方起名叫伯特利，但那城起初名叫路斯。

†[Wlb]其邑原名路斯、易之曰伯特利、

†[Xdv]他叫那地方做伯特利（希伯来语的意思是：上帝的家）（这镇从前叫路斯）。

†[Kjv]And he called the name of that place Bethel: but the name of that city was called Luz at the first.

†[Nkjv]And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously.

†[BBE]And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.

†[GNT] He named the place Bethel. (The town there was once known as Luz.)

†[NIV]He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.

本会注释　　伯特利。就是“上帝的殿”。后来指附近一座原名为路斯的城市。伯特利最初只是指雅各立碑的地方而不是指路斯。从书16:2中可以看出来，这是两个不同的地方。但其他的经文就用伯特利作为路斯古城的名称（见创35:6；书18:13；士1:23）。这种改名发生在以色列人占领该城以后。该城至今仍保留着这个名称，其阿拉伯语名称为贝田（Beitin）。

创28:20 雅各许愿说：“上帝若与我同在，在我所行的路上保佑我，又给我食物吃，衣服穿， (串)创31:13

†[吕]雅各许愿说：“上帝如果与我同在，在我所走的这路上保护我，给我食物吃、衣服穿，

†[思]然后雅各伯许愿说：“若是天主与我同在，在我所走的路上护佑我，赐我丰衣足食，

†[当代]雅各又许愿说：“如果上帝与我同在，在路上保护我，供给我食物和衣服，

†[新译]于是雅各许了一个愿说：“如果　神与我同在，在我所走的路上看顾我，赐我食物吃，给我衣服穿，

†[Wlb]雅各许愿曰、如上帝偕我、佑我于所行之路、赐我以衣食、

†[Xdv]于是他向上帝许愿说：“如果你跟我同在，在旅途中保护我，赐给我吃的穿的，

†[Kjv]And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

†[Nkjv]Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

†[BBE]Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on,

†[GNT] Then Jacob made a vow to the Lord: "If you will be with me and protect me on the journey I am making and give me food and clothing,

†[NIV]Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear

本会注释　　这是圣经所记载的第一个许愿。人借着许愿保证自己按照特定的方式做某件事情。由于雅各所许之愿的应验全在乎上帝的大能，这个愿又是向上帝许的，因此他采用了祷告的形式。这个愿不是出于唯利是图的精神，而是出于感恩、谦卑和信靠。
　　上帝若。这句话不是说雅各对上帝是否会实现祂的应许而心存疑惑，或是说雅各在向上帝谈条件。他完全相信耶和华所说的话。由于祂已仁慈地应许要与他同在并赐福给他，他也应表示对上帝的效忠（见《先祖与先知》第187,188页）。出于深深的感激之情，雅各想用具体的方式来表达他的敬意。
　　食物吃。雅各曾经为了使自己获得更大份额的产业，而毫不犹豫地使用最卑鄙的手段，但他现在只是谦卑地祈求庇护、衣食和平安回家。只要有少量的生活必需品，他就满足了。他对于财富、奢侈、尊荣和权力的欲望都不复存在了。这是有关谦卑的重要功课。雅各已经完全学会了。

创28:21 使我平平安安的回到我父亲的家，我就必以耶和华为我的上帝。 (串)士11:31撒下15:7-9|申26:17

†[吕]使我安安然然回到我父亲家里，永恒主就必做我的上帝，

†[思]使我平安回到父家，上主实在当是我的天主。

†[当代]带领我平平安安地回到父亲的家里去，我就一定会敬奉主为我的上帝。

†[新译]使我可以平平安安地回到我的父家，我就必定以耶和华为我的　神，

†[Wlb]使安然而返父家、则耶和华必为我之上帝、

†[Xdv]让我平安回到故乡，你就真的是我的上帝。

†[Kjv]So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God:

†[Nkjv]so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God.

†[BBE]So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

†[GNT] and if I return safely to my father's home, then you will be my God.

†[NIV]so that I return safely to my father's house, then the Lord will be my God

本会注释　　他曾把上帝看作他列祖的上帝。他当然也早就将耶和华当作他的上帝。然而，他过去在很大的程度上依赖父家的保障，但现在事态的变化使他感到越来越需要亲自真实地仰赖上帝供给那些他原以为自然会有的东西。这并不是初次归向上帝，而是与祂进行更加亲密、成熟和默契的交往。
　　从此雅各表现出了他对上帝的忠心。他将自己交给上帝管理，以上帝作为感激和爱戴的归宿。从伯特利到毗努伊勒的二十年间，他取得了何等大的进步啊！恩典虽然在心中做主，但仍存在思想的斗争。罪恶的倾向依然活跃，他偶尔也会轻易屈服于这些倾向。但正义的原则牢牢地掌管着他的人生，他带着对上帝成熟的信靠返回了迦南。在上帝的耐心管教之下，他的信心得到了稳定的增强，直到他从玛哈念和毗努伊勒所经历的人生最大危机中脱颖而出，成为“与上帝较力的王子”。

创28:22 我所立为柱子的石头也必作上帝的殿；凡你所赐给我的，我必将十分之一献给你。” (串)创35:14|创14:20利27:30-32

†[吕]我所立为圣柱的这根石头就必做上帝的殿；凡你所赐给我的、我必将十分之一献与你。”

†[思]我立作石柱的这块石头，必要成为天主的住所；凡你赐与我的，我必给你奉献十分之一。”

†[当代]我立为柱子的这块石头，必要成为敬拜上帝的地方；上帝赐给我的一切，我必把十分之一献给上帝。”

†[新译]我立作石柱的那块石头，必作　神的殿；你赐给我的一切，我必把十分之一献给你。”

†[Wlb]所立柱石、将为上帝室、凡上帝所锡我者、十输其一以献之、

†[Xdv]我立为纪念碑的这块石头要成为敬拜你的圣所；我要把你赐给我的一切献上十分之一给你。”

†[Kjv]And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

†[Nkjv]And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."

†[BBE]And this stone which I have put up for a pillar will be God's house: and of all you give me, I will give a tenth part to you.

†[GNT] This memorial stone which I have set up will be the place where you are worshiped, and I will give you a tenth of everything you give me."

†[NIV]and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God's house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth."

本会注释　　雅各宣布要在这里筑一座坛敬拜上帝。他在平安返回故乡数年之后实现了这一宿愿（见创35:1,15）。
　　十分之一。亚伯拉罕和雅各都明白和缴纳什一（见创14:20）。雅各的话说明他过去还没有实行。他可能还没有属于自己的财物。他那种抓住不放的精神可能使他对什一的缴纳不关心。不管他过去怎样，他许愿从此要忠心缴纳什一，不是为了赚得上天的喜爱，而是出于谦卑和感激承认上帝的宽恕和眷爱。他庄严地承诺：“我必将十分之一献给你”。换句话说，他将不断地奉献。从他后来对上帝忠实和奉献的人生来看，他无疑忠诚地履行了所许的愿。上帝在后来的岁日中如此丰厚地赐福给雅各，说明了他在这一方面的忠心（见玛3:8-11）。这位七十七年来似乎并未忠心缴纳什一的人，是作为一个贫穷的逃亡者离开迦南的，除了他手中的杖以外一无所有。但当他二十年后回来的时候，却拥有许多的牛群、羊群、仆人和一大家子的人。
　　每个基督徒都可以从雅各的经验中学到一个重要的教训。在危机和灾难来临的时候，他应当考虑天上的福分是否可能因为没有忠心地缴纳什一而被扣留（见该1:6-11）。雅各的经验证实了重新开始这方面的努力永远不会太晚。当然，这不是为了赚取上帝的恩眷，而是作为爱祂和忠于祂的标志。这样，上天的福惠就会降在忠诚的信徒身上，就象降在雅各身上一样。上帝与人类的交往的根本目的，就是为了培养能反映他创造主形象的品格。
