是是誰 D+ 看世界~*

雅各是聰明的欺騙者
當他開始用各種技巧與傳說中的祕方時
他的欺騙對象居然是他的舅舅

不過他知道他的舅舅也在各樣的事上欺騙他
所以他只是善盡他能力所及罷了

這世上好似如此
欺騙與被欺騙
被欺騙之後的再欺騙

大家都一味地想往自己的身上得好處
卻忘了自己的好處便是他人的壞處
雅各後來大發勢利得了許多好處
但他的舅舅呢不正是他的好處來源者嗎

當你我在自己身上得好處時
便是有人失去好處的時候

凡事能否雙贏
似乎是這世代極力訴求的

願上帝賜福你我
得著屬天的智慧

在一切的事上忠心
得著從神而來的獎賞






創世記

30:34 拉班說：「好啊！我情願照著你的話行。」
Laban said, "Good! Let it be as you have said."
30:35 當日，拉班把有紋的、有斑的公山羊，有點的、有斑的、有雜白紋的母山羊，並黑色的綿羊，都挑出來，交在他兒子們的手下，
But that day Laban removed the he-goats that were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in charge of his sons;
30:36 又使自己和雅各相離三天的路程。雅各就牧養拉班其餘的羊。
and he set a distance of three days' journey between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flock.
30:37 雅各拿楊樹、杏樹、楓樹的嫩枝，將皮剝成白紋，使枝子露出白的來，
Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the rods.
30:38 將剝了皮的枝子，對著羊群，插在飲羊的水溝裡和水槽裡，羊來喝的時候，牝牡配合。
He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
30:39 羊對著枝子配合，就生下有紋的、有點的、有斑的來。
the flocks bred in front of the rods and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted.
30:40 雅各把羊羔分出來，使拉班的羊與這有紋和黑色的羊相對，把自己的羊另放一處，不叫他和拉班的羊混雜。
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.
30:41 到羊群肥壯配合的時候，雅各就把枝子插在水溝裡，使羊對著枝子配合。
Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding Jacob laid the rods in the runnels before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the rods,
30:42 只是到羊瘦弱配合的時候就不插枝子。這樣，瘦弱的就歸拉班，肥壯的就歸雅各。
but for the feebler of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
30:43 於是雅各極其發大，得了許多的羊群、僕婢、駱駝，和驢。
Thus the man grew exceedingly rich, and had large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and asses.
