Jacob Summoned to Bethel; Jacob's Journeys towards Bethel. . 1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother. 2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments: 3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem. 5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob. Here, I. God reminds Jacob of his vow at Beth-el, and sends him thither to perform it, Genesis 35:1 ; Genesis 35:1 . Jacob had said in the day of his distress, If I come again in peace, this stone shall be God's house, Genesis 28:22 ; Genesis 28:22 . God had performed his part of the bargain, and had given Jacob more than bread to eat and raiment to put on--he had got an estate, and had become two bands; but, it should seem, he had forgotten his vow, or at least had too long deferred the performance of it. Seven or eight years it was now since he came to Canaan; he had purchased ground there, and had built an altar in remembrance of God's last appearance to him when he called him Israel ( Genesis 33:19 ; Genesis 33:20 ); but still Beth-el is forgotten. Note, Time is apt to wear out the sense of mercies and the impressions made upon us by them; it should not be so, but so it is. God had exercised Jacob with a very sore affliction in his family ( Genesis 34:1-31 ; Genesis 34:1-31 ), to see if this would bring his vow to his remembrance, and put him upon the performance of it, but it had not this effect; therefore God comes himself and puts him in mind of it: Arise, go to Beth-el. Note, 1. As many as God loves he will remind of neglected duties, one way or other, by conscience or by providences. 2. When we have vowed a vow to God, it is best not to defer the payment of it ( Ecclesiastes 5:4 ), yet better late than never. God bade him go to Beth-el and dwell there, that is, not only go himself, but take his family with him, that they might join with him in his devotions. Note, In Beth-el, the house of God, we should desire to dwell, Psalms 27:4 . That should be our home, not our inn. God reminds him not expressly of his vow, but of the occasion of it: When thou fleddest from the face of Esau. Note, The remembrance of former afflictions should bring to mind the workings of our souls under them, Psalms 66:13 ; Psalms 66:14 . II. Jacob commands his household to prepare for this solemnity; not only for the journey and remove, but for the religious services that were to be performed, Genesis 35:2 ; Genesis 35:3 . Note, 1. Before solemn ordinances, there must be solemn preparation. Wash you, make you clean, and then come, and let us reason together, Isaiah 1:16-18 . 2. Masters of families should use their authority for the promoting of religion in their families. Not only we, but our houses also, should serve the Lord, Joshua 24:15 . Observe the commands he gives his household, like Abraham, Genesis 18:19 ; Genesis 18:19 . (1.) They must put away the strange gods. Strange gods in Jacob's family! Strange things indeed! Could such a family, that was taught the good knowledge of the Lord, admit them? Could such a master, to whom God had appeared twice, and oftener, connive at them? Doubtless this was his infirmity. Note, Those that are good themselves cannot always have those about them so good as they should be. In those families where there is a face of religion, and an altar to God, yet many times there is much amiss, and more strange gods than one would suspect. In Jacob's family, Rachel had her teraphim, which, it is to be feared, she secretly made some superstitious use of. The captives of Shechem brought their gods along with them, and perhaps Jacob's sons took some with the plunder. However they came by them, now they must put them away. (2.) They must be clean, and change their garments; they must observe a due decorum, and make the best appearance they could. Simeon and Levi had their hands full of blood, it concerned them particularly to wash, and to put off their garments that were so stained. These were but ceremonies, signifying the purification and change of the heart. What are clean clothes, and new clothes, without a clean heart, and a new heart? Dr. Lightfoot, by their being clean, or washing themselves, understands Jacob's admission of the proselytes of Shechem and Syria into his religion by baptism, because circumcision had become odious. 3. They must go with him to Beth-el, Genesis 35:3 ; Genesis 35:3 . Note, Masters of families, when they go up to the house of God, should bring their families with them. III. His family surrendered all they had that was idolatrous or superstitious, Genesis 35:4 ; Genesis 35:4 . Perhaps, if Jacob had called for them sooner, they would sooner have parted with them, being convicted by their own consciences of the vanity of them. Note, Sometimes attempts for reformation succeed better than one could have expected, and people are not so obstinate against them as we feared. Jacob's servants, and even the retainers of his family, gave him all the strange gods, and the ear-rings they wore, either as charms or to the honour of their gods; they parted with all. Note, Reformation is not sincere if it be not universal. We hope they parted with them cheerfully, and without reluctance, as Ephraim did, when he said, What have I to do any more with idols? ( Hosea 14:8 ), or that people that said to their idols, Get you hence, Isaiah 30:22 . Jacob took care to bury their images, we may suppose in some place unknown to them, that they might not afterwards find them and return to them. Note, We must be wholly separated from our sins, as we are from those that are dead and buried out of our sight, cast them to the moles and the bats, Isaiah 2:20 . IV. He removes without molestation from Shechem to Bethel, Genesis 35:5 ; Genesis 35:5 . The terror of God was upon the cities. Though the Canaanites were much exasperated against the sons of Jacob for their barbarous usage of the Shechemites, yet they were so restrained by a divine power that they could not take this fair opportunity, which now offered itself, when they were upon their march, to avenge their neighbours' quarrel. Note, The way of duty is the way of safety. While there was sin in Jacob's house, he was afraid of his neighbours; but now that the strange gods were put away, and they were all going together to Bethel, his neighbours were afraid of him. When we are about God's work, we are under special protection. God is with us, while we are with him; and, if he be for us, who can be against us? See Exodus 34:24 , No man shall desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the Lord. God governs the world more by secret terrors on men's minds than we are aware of. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-6-15" class="com-number"

야곱, 벧엘로 부르심을 받다; 야곱의 벧엘을 향한 여정.
여기에서 첫째로, 하나님께서 야곱에게 벧엘에서 서원했던 일을 상기시키시고 그곳으로 가서 서원을 이행하도록 보내신다(창 35:1). 야곱은 고난의 날에 "내가 평안히 돌아오면, 이 돌이 하나님의 집이 될 것입니다"라고 말한 바 있었다(창 28:22). 하나님께서는 당신의 약속을 이미 이루시어 야곱에게 먹을 음식과 입을 옷 이상을 주셨으며, 야곱은 큰 재산을 얻어 두 무리를 이룰 만큼 성장하였다. 그러나 야곱은 서원을 잊어버린 것처럼 보이거나, 적어도 그 이행을 너무 오래 미루었다. 가나안 땅으로 돌아온 지 이미 칠팔 년이 지났고, 그 땅에 터를 잡아 하나님께서 자신에게 "이스라엘"이라는 이름을 주신 것을 기념하여 제단도 쌓았으나(창 33:19-20), 벧엘은 여전히 잊혀진 채였다. 하나님의 은혜와 그 은혜가 남긴 인상은 시간이 지나면 흐려지기 쉽다는 것을 이 사실이 보여 준다. 하나님께서는 야곱을 가정의 심한 고난으로 시련하시어(창 34장) 서원을 기억하게 하고자 하셨으나, 그것도 효과가 없었다. 그리하여 하나님께서 친히 오셔서 직접 상기시켜 주신다. "일어나 벧엘로 올라가거라." 이 사실은 두 가지 교훈을 준다. 첫째, 하나님께서 사랑하시는 자들은 양심이나 섭리를 통해 소홀히 여긴 의무를 반드시 기억하게 하신다. 둘째, 서원을 하나님께 드렸을 때에는 이행을 미루지 않는 것이 가장 좋다(전 5:4). 그러나 늦더라도 이행하지 않는 것보다는 낫다. 하나님께서는 벧엘에 머물도록 명하셨는데, 이는 단순히 혼자 가는 것이 아니라 온 가족과 함께 가서 그 예배에 동참하게 하라는 뜻이었다. 하나님께서는 서원 자체를 명시적으로 상기시키시지 않고, 그 서원의 계기만을 언급하신다. "네가 네 형 에서의 얼굴을 피해 도망치던 때에." 과거의 고난을 기억하면 그 고난 속에서 우리 영혼이 어떻게 반응했는지도 함께 생각나게 된다(시 66:13-14).
둘째로, 야곱은 이 거룩한 여정을 위해 가족에게 준비를 명한다(창 35:2-3). 단순한 이동 준비만이 아니라, 예배를 위한 영적 준비를 요구한다. 이 사실은 두 가지 교훈을 준다. 첫째, 거룩한 예식 앞에서는 거룩한 준비가 있어야 한다. "씻으라, 깨끗이 하라, 그런 다음 와서 서로 변론하자"(사 1:16-18). 둘째, 가장은 권위를 사용하여 가정 안에서 신앙이 자라도록 힘써야 한다. "나와 내 집은 여호와를 섬기겠노라"(수 24:15). 야곱이 아브라함처럼(창 18:19) 가족에게 구체적인 명령을 내린 것을 주목하라. (1) "너희 가운데 있는 이방의 신들을 버리라." 야곱의 가정에 이방의 신들이 있었다는 사실은 놀라운 일이다. 하나님을 아는 지식을 가르침받은 가정이, 하나님께서 여러 번 나타나셨던 가장조차 이를 묵인했다는 것이다. 이것은 그의 연약함이었다. 선한 사람도 주변 사람들을 항상 선하게 만들 수는 없다. 라헬은 드라빔을 가지고 있었고, 세겜의 포로들은 자기 신들을 가져왔으며, 야곱의 아들들도 노략물에서 우상을 취했을 것이다. 그러나 어찌 들어왔든, 이제는 다 버려야 했다. (2) "깨끗이 하고 의복을 바꾸라." 합당한 예의를 갖추고 최선의 모습으로 나아가야 했다. 시므온과 레위는 손에 피를 묻혔으니, 특히 그들에게는 씻고 더럽혀진 옷을 벗는 일이 절실했다. 이것들은 마음의 정화와 변화를 의미하는 예식적 행위였다. 깨끗한 옷과 새 옷이 깨끗한 마음, 새 마음 없이 무슨 의미가 있겠는가? (3) 함께 벧엘로 올라가야 했다(창 35:3). 가장이 하나님의 집에 올라갈 때에는 가족도 함께 데려가야 한다.
셋째로, 야곱의 가족은 우상과 관련된 모든 것을 다 바쳤다(창 35:4). 더 일찍 요구했다면 더 일찍 내놓았을지도 모른다. 그들은 이미 양심의 가책을 느끼고 있었기 때문이다. 야곱의 종들과 가족에 속한 사람들은 모든 이방의 신들과, 신들에게 바치거나 부적으로 달았던 귀고리들을 내놓았다. 참된 개혁은 온전해야 한다. 에브라임이 "내가 다시는 우상과 무슨 상관이 있으랴"(호 14:8) 한 것처럼, 또 이스라엘이 우상에게 "저리 가라"(사 30:22)고 말한 것처럼 기꺼이 내놓았기를 바란다. 야곱은 그것들을 어딘가에 묻었는데, 나중에 찾아 돌아가지 못하도록 그들이 모르는 곳에 묻은 것으로 보인다. 우리는 우리의 죄와 완전히 결별해야 한다. 죽어서 눈에 보이지 않게 묻힌 자와 작별하듯이, "두더지와 박쥐에게 내던져야"(사 2:20) 한다.
넷째로, 야곱은 세겜에서 벧엘까지 아무런 방해 없이 이동한다(창 35:5). "하나님의 두려움이 사방 성읍들을 덮었다." 가나안 사람들이 세겜 주민들에게 한 잔학한 행위 때문에 야곱의 아들들에게 격분해 있었음에도 불구하고, 신성한 힘에 의해 제어되어 행진 중인 이들을 공격할 기회를 잡지 못했다. 의무의 길이 안전의 길이다. 야곱의 집에 죄가 있을 때에는 이웃을 두려워하였으나, 이방의 신들을 버리고 다 함께 벧엘로 올라가는 지금은 이웃들이 오히려 야곱을 두려워한다. 우리가 하나님의 일을 할 때 우리는 특별한 보호 아래 있다. 우리가 하나님과 함께하면 하나님께서 우리와 함께하시니, 만약 하나님이 우리 편이시라면 누가 우리를 대적할 수 있겠는가?(출 34:24, "네가 여호와 앞에 보이러 올 때에는 아무도 네 땅을 탐내지 못하리라"). 하나님께서 사람들의 마음속에 은밀한 두려움으로 세상을 다스리심을 우리는 종종 깨닫지 못한다.

창세기 35장에는 세 번의 하나님과의 교제와 세 번의 장례가 기록되어 있다. 먼저 하나님과 야곱의 세 차례 교제를 살펴보면, 첫째로 하나님께서 야곱에게 벧엘로 가도록 명하셨고, 그 명령에 순종하여 야곱은 집안의 우상을 제거하고 여행을 준비하였다(창 35:1-5). 둘째로 야곱은 벧엘에 제단을 쌓아 자신에게 나타나신 하나님께 영광을 돌리고 서원을 이행하였다(창 35:6-7). 셋째로 하나님께서 다시 그에게 나타나셔서 그의 이름 변경과 언약을 확증하셨으며(창 35:9-13), 이에 야곱은 감사한 마음으로 기념을 세웠다(창 35:14-15). 다음으로 세 번의 장례가 기록되어 있는데, 드보라의 장례(창 35:8), 라헬의 장례(창 35:16-20), 그리고 이삭의 장례(창 35:27-29)이다. 또한 르우벤의 불륜(창 35:22)과 야곱의 아들들 명단(창 35:23-26)도 기록되어 있다.

Jacob's Arrival at Bethel. . 6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Beth-el, he and all the people that were with him. 7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-el: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother. 8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak: and the name of it was called Allon-bachuth. 9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram, and blessed him. 10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him. 14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Beth-el. Jacob and his retinue having safely arrived at Beth-el, we are here told what passed there. I. There he built an altar ( Genesis 35:7 ; Genesis 35:7 ), and no doubt offered sacrifice upon it, perhaps the tenth of his cattle, according to his vow, I will give the tenth unto thee. With these sacrifices he joined praises for former mercies, particularly that which the sight of the place brought afresh to his remembrance; and he added prayers for the continuance of God's favour to him and his family. And he called the place (that is, the altar ) El-beth-el, the God of Bethel. As, when he made a thankful acknowledgment of the honour God had lately done him in calling him Israel, he worshipped God by the name of El-elohe Israel; so, now that he was making a grateful recognition of God's former favour to him at Bethel, he worships God by the name of El-beth-el, the God of Beth-el, because there God appeared to him. Note, The comfort which the saints have in holy ordinances is not so much from Bethel, the house of God, as from El-beth-el, the God of the house. The ordinances are but empty things if we do not meet with God in them. II. There he buried Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, Genesis 35:8 ; Genesis 35:8 . We have reason to think that Jacob, after he came to Canaan, while his family dwelt near Shechem, went himself (it is likely, often) to visit his father Isaac at Hebron. Rebekah probably was dead, but her old nurse (of whom mention is made Genesis 24:59 ; Genesis 24:59 ) survived her, and Jacob took her to his family, to be a companion to his wives, her country-women, and an instructor to his children; while they were at Bethel, she died, and died lamented, so much lamented that the oak under which she was buried was called Allon-bachuth, the oak of weeping. Note, 1. Old servants in a family, that have in their time been faithful and useful, ought to be respected. Honour was done to this nurse, at her death, by Jacob's family, though she was not related to them, and though she was aged. Former services, in such a case, must be remembered. 2. We do not know where death may meet us; perhaps at Beth-el, the house of God. Therefore let us be always ready. 3. Family-afflictions may come even when family-reformation and religion are on foot. Therefore rejoice with trembling. III. There God appeared to him ( Genesis 35:9 ; Genesis 35:9 ), to own his altar, to answer to the name by which he had called him, The God of Beth-el ( Genesis 35:7 ; Genesis 35:7 ), and to comfort him under his affliction, Genesis 35:8 ; Genesis 35:8 . Note, God will appear to those in a way of grace that attend on him in a way of duty. Here, 1. He confirmed the change of his name, Genesis 35:10 ; Genesis 35:10 . It was done before by the angel that wrestled with him ( Genesis 32:28 ; Genesis 32:28 ), and here it was ratified by the divine Majesty, or Shechinah, that appeared to him. There it was to encourage him against the fear of Esau, here against the fear of the Canaanites. Who can be too hard for Israel, a prince with God? It is below those who are thus dignified to droop and despond. 2. He renewed and ratified the covenant with him, by the name El-shaddai. I am God Almighty, God all-sufficient ( Genesis 35:11 ; Genesis 35:11 ), able to make good the promise in due time, and to support thee and provide for thee in the mean time. Two things are promised him which we have met with often before:-- (1.) That he should be the father of a great nation, great in number-- a company of nations shall be of thee (every tribe of Israel was a nation, and all the twelve a company of nations), great in honour and power-- kings shall come out of thy loins. (2.) That he should be the master of a good land ( Genesis 35:12 ; Genesis 35:12 ), described by the grantees, Abraham and Isaac, to whom it was promised, not by the occupants, the Canaanites in whose possession it now was. The land that was given to Abraham and Isaac is here entailed on Jacob and his seed. He shall not have children without an estate, which is often the case of the poor, nor an estate without children, which is often the grief of the rich; but both. These two promises had a spiritual signification, of which we may suppose Jacob himself had some notion, though not so clear and distinct as we now have; for, without doubt, Christ is the promised seed, and heaven is the promised land; the former is the foundation, and the latter the top-stone, of all God's favours. 3. He then went up from him, or from over him, in some visible display of glory, which had hovered over him while he talked with him, Genesis 35:13 ; Genesis 35:13 . Note, The sweetest communions the saints have with God in this world are short and transient, and soon have an end. Our vision of God in heaven will be everlasting; there we shall be ever with the Lord; it is not so here. IV. There Jacob erected a memorial of this, Genesis 35:14 ; Genesis 35:14 . 1. He set up a pillar. When he was going to Padan-aram, he set up for a pillar that stone on which he had laid his head. This was agreeable enough to his low condition and his hasty flight; but now he took time to erect one more stately, more distinguishable and durable, probably placing that stone in it. In token of his intending it for a sacred memorial of his communion with God, he poured oil and the other ingredients of a drink-offering upon it. His vow was, This stone shall be God's house, that is, shall be set up for his honour, as houses to the praise of their builders; and here he performs it, transferring it to God by anointing it. 2. He confirmed the name he had formerly given to the place ( Genesis 35:15 ; Genesis 35:15 ), Beth-el, the house of God. Yet this very place afterwards lost the honour of its name, and became Beth-aven, a house of iniquity; for here it was that Jeroboam set up one of his calves. It is impossible for the best man to entail upon a place so much as the profession and form of religion. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-16-20" class="com-number"

야곱, 벧엘에 도착하다.
야곱과 그 일행이 벧엘에 무사히 도착한 뒤 그곳에서 일어난 일들이 기록되어 있다.
첫째, 야곱은 그곳에 제단을 쌓았다(창 35:7). 서원에 따라 짐승의 십일조를 제물로 드렸을 것이다. 이 제사와 함께 이전에 받은 은혜, 특히 그 장소를 바라보며 다시 생생하게 기억나는 은혜에 대한 감사를 드렸고, 하나님의 은총이 자신과 가족에게 계속되기를 간구하는 기도도 드렸다. 그는 그 장소 곧 제단을 "엘벧엘", 벧엘의 하나님이라고 불렀다. 하나님께서 "이스라엘"이라는 이름을 주셨을 때 "엘엘로헤이스라엘, 이스라엘의 하나님"이라 불렀듯이, 이제 벧엘에서 베푸신 하나님의 예전 은혜를 감사히 기억하며 "엘벧엘, 벧엘의 하나님"으로 불렀다. 성도들이 거룩한 예식에서 얻는 위로는 "벧엘", 하나님의 집 자체에서 오는 것이 아니라 "엘벧엘", 그 집의 하나님께로부터 온다. 예식 그 자체는 하나님을 만나지 못하면 텅 빈 것이다.
둘째, 그곳에서 야곱은 리브가의 유모 드보라를 장사하였다(창 35:8). 야곱은 가나안에 온 뒤 가족이 세겜 근방에 머무는 동안 헤브론의 아버지 이삭을 자주 방문했을 것이다. 리브가는 이미 세상을 떠났을 것이나, 그의 늙은 유모(창 24:59에 언급된 인물)는 살아남아 야곱의 가족과 함께 지내며 야곱의 아내들의 동반자가 되었고 자녀들의 교사 역할도 하였다. 벧엘에 머무는 동안 그가 세상을 떠났는데, 깊이 애도하였으므로 그가 묻힌 상수리나무를 "알론바굿", 곧 "통곡의 상수리나무"라 불렀다. 이 사실은 세 가지 교훈을 준다. 첫째, 가정에서 오랫동안 신실하고 유익하게 일한 늙은 종은 존중받아야 한다. 이 유모는 야곱의 가족과 혈연 관계가 없고 나이도 많았음에도 불구하고, 야곱의 가족으로부터 죽음에 이르기까지 귀히 여김을 받았다. 과거의 헌신은 기억되어야 한다. 둘째, 죽음이 어디서 우리를 찾아올지 알 수 없다. 하나님의 집인 벧엘에서도 찾아올 수 있다. 그러므로 항상 준비되어 있어야 한다. 셋째, 가정의 개혁과 신앙이 활발히 진행되는 중에도 가정의 슬픔은 찾아올 수 있다. 그러므로 두려움으로 기뻐하라.
셋째, 하나님께서 야곱에게 나타나셨다(창 35:9). 이는 제단을 인정하시고, 야곱이 부른 이름 "벧엘의 하나님"(창 35:7)에 응답하시며, 드보라의 죽음으로 인한 슬픔을 위로하시기 위함이었다. 하나님의 길을 걷는 자에게 하나님은 은혜로 나타나신다. 이 현현에서 두 가지를 주목하라. (1) 하나님께서 그의 이름 변경을 확증하셨다(창 35:10). 이전에 천사가 씨름하며 이름을 바꾸어 주었고(창 32:28), 이제 신성한 위엄, 곧 쉐키나가 나타나셔서 그것을 확증하셨다. 이전에는 에서에 대한 두려움을 이기도록 격려하기 위한 것이었다면, 이번에는 가나안 사람들에 대한 두려움을 이기도록 격려하기 위한 것이었다. "하나님과 겨루어 이긴 이스라엘"이 누구를 두려워할 수 있겠는가? 이렇게 존귀함을 입은 자들이 낙심하고 절망하는 것은 그 지위에 어울리지 않는다. (2) 하나님께서 "엘샤다이", 전능하신 하나님이라는 이름으로 야곱과 맺으신 언약을 새롭게 하셨다(창 35:11). "나는 전능한 하나님이다", 약속을 때가 되면 반드시 이루고, 그 전까지 너를 붙들고 공급할 수 있는 분이시다. 두 가지가 약속되었다. (1) 많은 민족의 조상이 될 것이다. 수에 있어서 위대한 민족, "한 민족과 여러 민족의 무리가 너에게서 나오고"(이스라엘의 각 지파는 하나의 민족이었고, 열두 지파 전체는 민족들의 무리였다). 명예와 권세에 있어서 위대하여 "왕들이 네 몸에서 나올 것이다." (2) 좋은 땅의 주인이 될 것이다(창 35:12). 이 땅은 현재 그 땅을 차지한 가나안 사람들이 아니라, 약속을 받은 수혜자 아브라함과 이삭의 이름으로 설명된다. 아브라함과 이삭에게 주어진 땅이 야곱과 그의 자손에게 상속된다. 그는 자녀만 있고 재산은 없는 가난한 자의 처지도 아니요, 재산만 있고 자녀는 없는 부유한 자의 슬픔도 없이, 두 가지를 모두 갖게 될 것이다. 이 두 약속은 영적인 의미를 담고 있다. 그리스도가 약속된 씨앗이요, 하늘이 약속된 땅이다. 전자는 모든 하나님의 은총의 기초이요, 후자는 그 완성이다. (3) 하나님께서 야곱과 함께 대화하시던 영광의 현현이 그의 위에서 올라가셨다(창 35:13). 성도들이 이 세상에서 누리는 하나님과의 가장 달콤한 교제는 짧고 덧없이 끝난다. 천국에서는 영원히 주와 함께할 것이지만, 이 땅에서는 그렇지 않다.
넷째, 야곱은 그곳에 기념비를 세웠다(창 35:14). 그는 기둥을 세웠다. 바단아람으로 떠날 때에 그는 베개로 삼았던 돌을 기둥으로 세웠는데, 그것은 그때의 가난한 처지와 급한 도피 상황에 맞는 것이었다. 그러나 이번에는 더 웅장하고 오래도록 남을 기둥을 세웠으며, 아마도 그 돌을 그 안에 두었을 것이다. 이 기둥이 하나님과의 교제를 기억하는 성스러운 기념물임을 나타내기 위해, 그 위에 기름과 전제의 재료를 부었다. "이 돌이 하나님의 집이 될 것입니다"라는 서원, 곧 집이 그것을 세운 자의 이름을 높이듯이 하나님의 영광을 위한 것이 되리라는 서원을 기름 부음으로써 하나님께 바치며 이행하였다. 그는 이전에 이 장소에 붙였던 이름을 다시 확증하였다(창 35:15). "벧엘, 하나님의 집." 그러나 이 장소는 나중에 그 이름의 영예를 잃고 "벧아웬, 악의 집"이 되고 말았는데, 여로보암이 바로 이곳에 금송아지 가운데 하나를 세웠기 때문이다. 아무리 훌륭한 사람이라도 어떤 장소에 종교의 고백과 형식조차 영원히 남겨 둘 수는 없다.

Death of Rachel. . 16 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. 18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. 19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. 20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day. We have here the story of the death of Rachel, the beloved wife of Jacob. 1. She fell in travail by the way, not able to reach to Bethlehem, the next town, though they were near it; so suddenly does pain sometimes come upon a woman in travail, which she cannot escape, or put off. We may suppose Jacob had soon a tent up, convenient enough for her reception. 2. Her pains were violent. She had hard labour, harder than usual: this was the effect of sin, Genesis 3:16 ; Genesis 3:16 . Note, Human life begins with sorrow, and the roses of its joy are surrounded with thorns. 3. The midwife encouraged her, Genesis 35:17 ; Genesis 35:17 . No doubt she had her midwife with her, ready at hand, yet that would not secure her. Rachel had said, when she bore Joseph, God shall add another son, which now the midwife remembers, and tells her her words were made good. Yet this did not avail to keep up her spirits; unless God command away fear, no one else can. He only says as one having authority, Fear not. We are apt, in extreme perils, to comfort ourselves and our friends with the hopes of a temporal deliverance, in which we may be disappointed; we had better found our comforts on that which cannot fail us, the hope of eternal life. 4. Her travail was to the life of the child, but to her own death. Note, Though the pains and perils of childbearing were introduced by sin, yet they have sometimes been fatal to very holy women, who, though not saved in childbearing, are saved through it with an everlasting salvation. Rachel had passionately said, Give me children, or else I die; and now that she had children (for this was her second) she died. Her dying is here called the departing of her soul. Note, The death of the body is but the departure of the soul to the world of spirits. 5. Her dying lips called her new-born son Ben-oni, The son of my sorrow. And many a son, not born in such hard labour, yet proves the son of his parent's sorrow, and the heaviness of her that bore him. Children are enough the sorrow of their poor mothers in the breeding, bearing, and nursing of them; they should therefore, when they grow up, study to be their joy, and so, if possible, to make them some amends. But Jacob, because he would not renew the sorrowful remembrance of the mother's death every time he called his son by his name, changed his name, and called him Benjamin, The son of my right hand; that is, "very dear to me, set on my right hand for a blessing, the support of my age, like the staff in my right hand." 6. Jacob buried her near the place where she died. As she died in child-bed, it was convenient to bury her quickly; and therefore he did not bring her to the burying-place of his family. If the soul be at rest after death, it matters little where the body lies. In the place where the tree falls, there let it be. No mention is made of the mourning that was at her death, because that might easily be taken for granted. Jacob, no doubt, was a true mourner. Note, Great afflictions sometimes befal us immediately after great comforts. Lest Jacob should be lifted up with the visions of the Almighty with which he was honoured, this was sent as a thorn in the flesh to humble him. Those that enjoy the favours peculiar to the children of God must yet expect the troubles that are common to the children of men. Deborah, who, had she lived, would have been a comfort to Rachel in her extremity, died but a little before. Note, When death comes into a family, it often strikes double. God by it speaks once, yea, twice. The Jewish writers say, "The death of Deborah and Rachel was to expiate the murder of the Shechemites, occasioned by Dinah, a daughter of the family." 7. Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave, so that it was known, long after, to be Rachel's sepulchre ( 1 Samuel 10:2 ), and Providence so ordered it that this place afterwards fell in the lot of Benjamin. Jacob set up a pillar in remembrance of his joys ( Genesis 35:14 ; Genesis 35:14 ), and here he sets up one in remembrance of his sorrows; for, as it may be of use to ourselves to keep both in mind, so it may be of use to others to transmit the memorials of both: the church, long afterwards, owned that what God said to Jacob at Bethel, both by his word and by his rod, he intended for their instruction ( Hosea 12:4 ), There he spoke with us. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-21-29" class="com-number"

라헬의 죽음.
야곱의 사랑하는 아내 라헬의 죽음에 대한 이야기가 기록되어 있다. (1) 라헬은 길에서 해산 진통을 시작하였는데, 가까운 마을인 에브랏에 도달하지 못하였다. 산통이 갑자기 찾아오면 피하거나 미룰 수 없다는 것을 이 사건이 보여 준다. 야곱이 곧 천막을 치고 그를 맞이할 준비를 하였을 것이다. (2) 라헬의 진통은 극심하였다. 평소보다 훨씬 힘든 산고였는데, 이것은 죄의 결과였다(창 3:16). 인생은 고통으로 시작하며, 기쁨의 장미도 가시로 둘러싸여 있다. (3) 산파가 라헬을 격려하였다(창 35:17). 의심할 것 없이 산파도 동행하고 있었다. 그러나 그것도 라헬을 살릴 수 없었다. 라헬은 요셉을 낳을 때 "하나님께서 다른 아들을 더하시리라"(창 30:24)고 말했는데, 산파가 이 말을 기억하며 그 말이 이루어졌다고 알려 주었다. 그러나 그것도 라헬의 기운을 되살리지 못했다. 하나님께서 두려워하지 말라고 명하지 않으시면, 아무도 진정으로 두려움을 없애 줄 수 없다. 우리는 극한 위험 속에서 일시적 구원의 소망으로 스스로와 친구들을 위로하려 하지만, 그 소망은 이루어지지 않을 수도 있다. 영원한 생명의 소망 위에 위로를 세우는 것이 더 낫다. (4) 라헬의 산고는 아이의 생명을 얻기 위한 자신의 죽음이 되었다. 비록 산고로 구원받지는 못하였으나, 영원한 구원으로 구원받은 거룩한 여성들도 있다. 라헬은 일찍이 "나에게 아들을 주지 않으면 죽겠습니다"라고 말한 적이 있었는데(창 30:1), 이제 아들을 얻었으나(이 아이가 그의 두 번째 아들이었다) 죽었다. 그의 죽음은 "그의 혼이 떠나는 것"이라 표현된다. 육신의 죽음은 영혼이 영들의 세계로 떠나는 것일 뿐이다. (5) 임종하면서 라헬은 새로 태어난 아들을 "베노니", 곧 "내 슬픔의 아들"이라 불렀다. 그토록 힘든 산고를 겪지 않고 태어난 아들도 부모에게 슬픔의 아들이 되는 경우가 얼마나 많은가. 아이들은 잉태되고 태어나고 자라나면서 이미 어머니에게 충분한 슬픔을 안겨 준다. 그러므로 자라나면 부모의 기쁨이 되어 그 슬픔을 보상해 주어야 한다. 그러나 야곱은 아들의 이름을 부를 때마다 어머니의 죽음을 슬프게 상기하지 않도록 이름을 바꾸어, "베냐민", 곧 "내 오른손의 아들"이라 불렀다. 이는 "나에게 매우 소중한 자, 복을 위해 내 오른편에 세워진 자, 내 오른손의 지팡이 같은 노년의 버팀목"을 의미한다. (6) 야곱은 라헬이 죽은 곳 근방에 장사하였다. 산중에 죽었으니 서둘러 장사하는 것이 마땅했고, 그래서 가족의 묘지까지 옮기지 않았다. 죽은 뒤에 혼이 안식을 누린다면, 몸이 어디에 눕혀지든 상관없다. 나무가 쓰러진 곳에 그대로 두는 것처럼. 죽음에 대한 애도가 기록되지 않은 것은, 그것이 당연히 있었을 것이기 때문이다. 야곱은 진심으로 슬퍼하는 자였음이 분명하다.
큰 위로 직후에 큰 고난이 찾아오는 경우가 있다. 야곱이 하나님의 환상을 통해 높아지지 않도록, 육신의 가시처럼 이 고난이 찾아와 그를 낮추었다. 하나님 자녀들에게 특별한 은총을 누리는 자들도 인생의 자녀들에게 공통으로 찾아오는 시련을 기대해야 한다. 살아 있었다면 라헬에게 큰 위로가 되었을 드보라가 그보다 조금 전에 먼저 세상을 떠났다. 죽음이 한 가정에 임할 때에는 종종 두 번 치기도 한다. 유대인 저술가들은 "드보라와 라헬의 죽음은 디나의 일로 촉발된 세겜 학살의 죗값이었다"고 말한다. (7) 야곱은 라헬의 무덤 위에 기둥을 세웠는데, 오랜 세월 후에도 그 무덤이 라헬의 무덤으로 알려졌다(삼상 10:2). 섭리는 훗날 이 땅이 베냐민의 지파 구역에 속하도록 정해 주셨다. 야곱은 기쁨의 기념으로 기둥을 세우고(창 35:14), 여기서는 슬픔의 기억을 위해 기둥을 세운다. 둘 다 마음에 새기는 것이 우리 자신과 타인에게 유익할 수 있다. 이후에 교회는 야곱에게 벧엘에서 말씀과 징계로 행하신 일이 그들을 위한 교훈임을 인정하였다(호 12:4, "거기서 우리에게 말씀하셨다").

The Disgrace of Reuben. . 21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar. 22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve: 23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun: 24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin: 25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali: 26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid; Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padan-aram. 27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arbah, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned. 28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years. 29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. Here is, 1. Jacob's removal, Genesis 35:21 ; Genesis 35:21 . He also, as his fathers, sojourned in the land of promise as in a strange country, and was not long in a place. Immediately after the story of Rachel's death he is here called Israel ( Genesis 35:21 ; Genesis 35:22 ), and not often so afterwards: the Jews say, "The historian does him this honour here because he bore that affliction with such admirable patience and submission to Providence." Note, Those are Israels indeed, princes with God, that support the government of their own passions. He that has this rule over his own spirit is better than the mighty. Israel, a prince with God, yet dwells in tents; the city is reserved for him in the other world. 2. The sin of Reuben. A piece of abominable wickedness it was that he was guilty of ( Genesis 35:22 ; Genesis 35:22 ), that very sin which the apostle says ( 1 Corinthians 5:1 ) is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. It is said to have been when Israel dwelt in that land; as if he were then absent from his family, which might be the unhappy occasion of these disorders. Though perhaps Bilhah was the greater criminal, and it is probable was abandoned by Jacob for it, yet Reuben's crime was so provoking that, for it, he lost his birthright and blessing, Genesis 49:4 ; Genesis 49:4 . The first-born is not always the best, nor the most promising. This was Reuben's sin, but it was Jacob's affliction; and what a sore affliction it was is intimated in a little compass, and Israel heard it. No more is said--that is enough; he heard it with the utmost grief and shame, horror and displeasure. Reuben thought to conceal it, that his father should never hear of it; but those that promise themselves secresy in sin are generally disappointed; a bird of the air carries the voice. 3. A complete list of the sons of Jacob, now that Benjamin the youngest was born. This is the first time we have the names of these heads of the twelve tribes together; afterwards we find them very often spoken of and enumerated, even to the end of the Bible, Revelation 7:4 ; Revelation 21:12 . 4. The visit which Jacob made to his father Isaac at Hebron. We may suppose he had visited him before since his return, for he sorely longed after his father's house; but never, till now, brought his family to settle with him, or near him, Genesis 35:27 ; Genesis 35:27 . Probably he did this now upon the death of Rebekah, by which Isaac was left solitary, and not disposed to marry again. 5. The age and death of Isaac are here recorded, though it appears, by computation, that he died not till many years after Joseph was sold into Egypt, and much about the time that he was preferred there. Isaac, a mild quiet man, lived the longest of all the patriarchs, for he was 180 years old; Abraham was but 175. Isaac lived about forty years after he had made his will, Genesis 27:22 ; Genesis 27:22 . We shall not die an hour the sooner, but abundantly the better, for our timely setting our heart and house in order. Particular notice is taken of the amicable agreement of Esau and Jacob, in solemnizing their father's funeral ( Genesis 35:29 ; Genesis 35:29 ), to show how wonderfully God had changed Esau's mind since he vowed his brother's murder immediately after his father's death, Genesis 27:41 ; Genesis 27:41 . Note, God has many ways of preventing bad men from doing the mischief they intended; he can either tie their hands or turn their hearts. return to ' Top of Page ' Genesis Gen 34 Genesis Gen Genesis Gen 36 Footnotes: Copyright Statement These files are public domain and are a derivative of an electronic edition that is available on the Christian Classics Ethereal Library Website.

source-manifest/mhm— Matthew Henry Complete Commentary (PD)- evidence_grade: T_theological
르우벤의 죄악.
이 단락에는 다음의 내용이 기록되어 있다. (1) 야곱의 이동(창 35:21). 야곱도 조상들처럼 약속의 땅에서 나그네로 지내며 한 곳에 오래 머물지 않았다. 라헬의 죽음 이야기 직후 그가 "이스라엘"이라 불리는 것(창 35:21-22)을 주목하라. 유대 저술가들은 "그 슬픔을 놀라운 인내와 섭리에 대한 순복으로 견뎠기 때문에 역사가가 이 존귀한 이름으로 그를 부른다"고 말한다. 자신의 감정을 다스리는 자가 용사보다 강하다. 하나님과 겨루어 이긴 이스라엘이 여전히 천막에 거한다. 그러나 도성은 다른 세계에 예비되어 있다.
(2) 르우벤의 죄. 그는 이방 사람들 사이에서도 입에 담을 수 없는(고전 5:1 참조) 가증한 죄를 저질렀으니(창 35:22), 곧 아버지의 첩과 동침한 것이다. 이스라엘이 그 땅에 거할 때 일어났다고 하는데, 야곱이 가족과 떨어져 있을 때 이런 불행한 일이 생겼을 것이다. 빌하가 더 큰 죄인이었을 수 있고, 야곱이 그를 버렸을 가능성이 높다. 그러나 르우벤의 죄는 너무나 심각하여 그 때문에 장자권과 축복을 잃었다(창 49:4). 장자가 항상 최선이거나 가장 유망한 것은 아니다. 이것은 르우벤의 죄였으나 야곱의 슬픔이었다. 그 슬픔이 간략하게, 그러나 함축적으로 표현된다. "이스라엘이 그것을 들었다." 그것으로 충분하다. 그는 극도의 슬픔과 수치와 경악과 분노로 그것을 들었다. 르우벤은 아버지가 결코 알지 못할 것이라 여겼지만, 죄 속에서 비밀을 약속받은 자들은 대개 실망하게 된다. 공중의 새가 그 소리를 전하기 때문이다.
(3) 야곱의 아들 열두 명의 명단이 막내 베냐민이 태어난 시점에 기록된다. 열두 지파의 우두머리들의 이름이 한데 모아진 것은 이것이 처음이다. 이후 성경 끝까지 매우 자주 언급되고 열거된다(계 7:4, 21:12).
(4) 야곱이 헤브론의 아버지 이삭을 방문한 일. 가나안으로 돌아온 이후 이전에도 방문했을 것이나, 이번에야 비로소 가족 전체를 이삭 곁으로 데려와 함께 지내게 하였다(창 35:27). 아마도 리브가의 죽음으로 이삭이 홀로 남게 되어 다시 결혼하려 하지 않았기 때문일 것이다.
(5) 이삭의 나이와 죽음이 기록된다. 연대를 계산해 보면, 이삭의 죽음은 요셉이 이집트에 팔린 지 오랜 후의 일로서, 요셉이 총리의 지위에 오를 즈음이었다. 온화하고 조용한 사람이었던 이삭은 족장들 가운데 가장 오래 살았으니, 180세였다. 아브라함은 175세였다. 이삭은 유언을 작성한(창 27장) 후 약 40년을 더 살았다. 마음과 집을 정돈하는 일을 때에 맞추어 하는 것이, 죽음의 시기를 앞당기지는 않으나, 그 삶을 훨씬 풍요롭게 한다.
에서와 야곱이 아버지의 장례를 함께 화목하게 치른 것(창 35:29)이 특별히 기록된 것은, 야곱의 아버지가 죽으면 죽이겠다고 맹세했던 에서의 마음을(창 27:41) 하나님께서 얼마나 놀랍게 변화시키셨는지를 보여 주기 위함이다. 하나님께서는 악한 자들이 의도한 해악을 막는 많은 방법을 가지고 계시니, 그들의 손을 묶거나 마음을 돌이키실 수 있다.
