夜、息苦しくて眠れない時に開きたい、とある族長の話
夜、息苦しくて眠れない時に開きたい、とある族長の話 目を閉じると不安が押し寄せるあの感覚は、数千年前から続いているのかもしれません 創世記32章。長年の確執があった兄エサウと、ついに再会する前夜のことです。ヤコブは家族や財産を先に川を渡らせ、自らは一人、闇が濃く広がる谷に残りました。明日の安全は約束されていません。先に送り出した者たちは無事でいられるのか、兄は自分を許してくれるのか。静まり返った夜気の中、積年の罪悪感と不安が、彼の胸を締め付けていたことでしょう。 創世記32章24節。 「ヤコブは一人残された。そのとき、彼と共に夜明けまで戦う人(イシュ)があった」 原文で使われている「イシュ(אִישׁ)」は、単なる「男」を指す一般的な言葉です。しかし、それが天使なのか、幻なのか、あるいは別の何かなのか、聖書の記述はあえて特定していません。 【ラビの教え:11世紀フランスのラビ、ラシ(シュロモー・ベン・イツハク)】 この「人」とはいったい誰なのか。11世紀フランスのラビ、ラシ(シュロモー・ベン・イツハク)は、この人物を「エサウの守護天使」であったと
