  • 过了许多年后,雅各回到自己的家乡,上帝赐他丰厚的财富。他结了婚,还有许多儿女。有一天,他听见以扫正在附近,而且拥有一大群人马。雅各担心他家人的安全。于是他祷告:“上帝,你曾说过会看顾我!但我怕以扫会杀害我们!请保护我们。”雅各预备了无数牲畜作为特别的礼物送给以扫。雅各心里想:“以扫见到这些礼物或者会原谅我。”当天晚上,雅各再次祷告。夜间,有一个人来和他摔跤一直到天明。雅各的腿受了伤,但仍然奋力搏斗。雅各说:“你要赐福给我,我才会放你走!”那人说:“因为你和上帝摔跤得胜了,你的名字要从雅各改为以色列。”后来,雅各见到以扫,他在以扫面前俯伏下拜。以扫原谅了他的弟弟,他跑过去亲吻雅各,兄弟俩都哭了,他们都很高兴能彼此相见。 夜间,雅各和谁摔了跤? 上帝为什么把雅各的名字改为以色列?

    Jacob’s Fight at Night

  • Many years passed before Jacob went back home. God had blessed him with great wealth, he was married and had many children. While on his way, he received news that Esau was nearby. Hearing that Esau had an army of men, Jacob feared for his family’s safety. Jacob prayed, “Lord, You said You would watch over me! I am afraid Esau will kill us! Please, protect us.” Jacob prepared big herds of animals as a special gift for Esau. Jacob thought, “Hopefully Esau will forgive me when he sees this gift.” That night, Jacob prayed again. A man wrestled with him until morning. Jacob’s leg was hurt, but he would not stop struggling. “I will not let go of you until you have blessed me,” said Jacob. The man said, “Your name will be changed from Jacob to Israel. For you have wrestled with God and won the victory!” Later, Jacob and Esau met. Jacob bowed low before Esau. Esau had forgiven his brother. He ran to Jacob and kissed him. The brothers cried for they were happy to see each other. Who did Jacob wrestle with? Why did Jacob’s name change to Israel?

    Jacob’s Fight at Night

  • 以扫憎恨雅各骗走了他的祝福。利百加对雅各说:“趁以扫还没有杀你之前,快离开这里,逃到你外祖父的老家暂住一段时间。”于是雅各便开始了他那漫长的旅程。一天晚上,他拿一块大石头做枕头便睡了,梦中见到一个梯子直伸上天堂,天使们在梯子上上下来往。上帝站在梯顶,对他说:“我会把你现在睡的地方赐给你,无论你往哪里去,我都会保护你。”雅各醒来,说:“上帝果然在这里。”他把那地方叫做伯特利,意思是:“上帝的殿”。 雅各离开家乡的原因是什么? 在梦里上帝对雅各说了什么?

    Jacob’s Dream

  • Esau hated Jacob for stealing his blessing. Rebekah warned Jacob, “You must leave this place before Esau tries to kill you. Go to your grandfather’s home for a while.” Jacob set out on the long journey. One night, he used a stone for a pillow and fell asleep. In a dream he saw angels climbing up and down a ladder to heaven. God was standing above the ladder. He said, “I will give you the land where you are sleeping. And I will protect you everywhere you go.” When Jacob woke up he said, “Surely the Lord is in this place.” He named the place Bethel, which means, “House of God.” Why did Jacob have to leave his home? What did God say to Jacob in the dream?
