Sastra Bait Kedua Kejadian 30:24: On the Posterity

וַתִּקְרָ֧א אֶת־שְׁמ֛וֹ יוֹסֵ֖ף לֵאמֹ֑ר יֹסֵ֧ף יְהוָ֛ה לִ֖י בֵּ֥ן אַחֵֽר׃

Lalu ia menamainya Yusuf, katanya, “Semoga Yang Mahakekal menambahkan bagiku seorang anak laki-laki lagi.”

On the Posterity of Cain and his Exile

[179] It was so that Rachel, having before addressed her request to Mind, as though offspring came through its operation, and having received the reply “Am I in the place of God?” (Gen. 30:2), gave heed to what was said, and learned its lesson, and made a recantation breathing true holiness, for Rachel’s recantation stands written in a prayer dear to God “Let God add to me another son” (Gen. 30:24), a prayer which none of those may make who in their folly pursue nothing whatever but their own pleasure, regarding all else as matter for loud laughter and ridicule.
