Genesi 3

1 Or il serpente era il più astuto di tutti gli animali dei campi che l’Eterno Iddio aveva fatti; ed esso disse alla donna: "Come! Iddio v’ha detto: Non mangiate del frutto di tutti gli alberi del giardino?"

2 E la donna rispose al serpente: "Del frutto degli alberi del giardino ne possiamo mangiare;

3 ma del frutto dell’albero ch’è in mezzo al giardino Iddio ha detto: Non ne mangiate e non lo toccate, che non abbiate a morire".

4 E il serpente disse alla donna: "No, non morrete affatto;

5 ma Iddio sa che nel giorno che ne mangerete, gli occhi vostri s’apriranno, e sarete come Dio, avendo la conoscenza del bene e del male".

6 E la donna vide che il frutto dell’albero era buono a mangiarsi, ch’era bello a vedere, e che l’albero era desiderabile per diventare intelligente; prese del frutto, ne mangiò, e ne dette anche al suo marito ch’era con lei, ed egli ne mangiò.

7 Allora si apersero gli occhi ad ambedue, e s’accorsero ch’erano ignudi; e cucirono delle foglie di fico, e se ne fecero delle cinture.

8 E udirono la voce dell’Eterno Iddio il quale camminava nel giardino sul far della sera; e l’uomo e sua moglie si nascosero dalla presenza dell’Eterno Iddio, fra gli alberi del giardino.

9 E l’Eterno Iddio chiamò l’uomo e gli disse: "Dove sei?" E quegli rispose:

10 "Ho udito la tua voce nel giardino, e ho avuto paura, perch’ero ignudo, e mi sono nascosto".

11 E Dio disse: "Chi t’ha mostrato ch’eri ignudo? Hai tu mangiato del frutto dell’albero del quale io t’avevo comandato di non mangiare?"

12 L’uomo rispose: "La donna che tu m’hai messa accanto, è lei che m’ha dato del frutto dell’albero, e io n’ho mangiato".

13 E l’Eterno Iddio disse alla donna: "Perché hai fatto questo?" E la donna rispose: "Il serpente mi ha sedotta, ed io ne ho mangiato".

14 Allora l’Eterno Iddio disse al serpente: "Perché hai fatto questo, sii maledetto fra tutto il bestiame e fra tutti gli animali dei campi! Tu camminerai sul tuo ventre, e mangerai polvere tutti i giorni della tua vita.

15 E io porrò inimicizia fra te e la donna, e fra la tua progenie e la progenie di lei; questa progenie ti schiaccerà il capo, e tu le ferirai il calcagno".

16 Alla donna disse: "Io moltiplicherò grandemente le tue pene e i dolori della tua gravidanza; con dolore partorirai figliuoli; i tuoi desideri si volgeranno verso il tuo marito, ed egli dominerà su te".

17 E ad Adamo disse: "Perché hai dato ascolto alla voce della tua moglie e hai mangiato del frutto dell’albero circa il quale io t’avevo dato quest’ordine: Non ne mangiare, il suolo sarà maledetto per causa tua; ne mangerai il frutto con affanno, tutti i giorni della tua vita.

18 Esso ti produrrà spine e triboli, e tu mangerai l’erba dei campi.

19 mangerai il pane col sudore del tuo volto, finché tu ritorni nella terra donde fosti tratto; perché sei polvere, e in polvere ritornerai".

20 E l’uomo pose nome Eva alla sua moglie, perch’è stata la madre di tutti i viventi.

21 E l’Eterno Iddio fece ad Adamo e alla sua moglie delle tuniche di pelle, e li vestì.

22 Poi l’Eterno Iddio disse: "Ecco, l’uomo è diventato come uno di noi quanto a conoscenza del bene e dei male. Guardiamo ch’egli non stenda la mano e prenda anche del frutto dell’albero della vita, e ne mangi, e viva in perpetuo".

23 Perciò l’Eterno Iddio mandò via l’uomo dal giardino d’Eden, perché lavorasse la terra donde era stato tratto.

24 Così egli scacciò l’uomo; e pose ad oriente del giardino d’Eden i cherubini, che vibravano da ogni parte una spada fiammeggiante, per custodire la via dell’albero della vita.

289. 'Wife' is used to mean the Church, in the universal sense the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth. This too has been shown already, while the fact that 'mother' as well has the same meaning follows from this. In the Word the Church is commonly called 'mother', as in Isaiah,

Where is your mother's bill of divorce? Isaiah 50:1.

In Jeremiah,

Your, mother has been utterly shamed, she who bore you is covered with shame. Jeremiah 50:12.

In Ezekiel,

[You are] your mother's daughter who loathes her husband and her sons. Your mother is a Hittite and your father an Amorite. Ezekiel 16:45.

Here 'husband' (vir) stands for the Lord and everything celestial, 'sons for truths of faith, 'Hittite' for falsity, and 'Amorite' for evil. In the same prophet,

Your mother was like a vine in your likeness, planted beside the waters, fruitful, full of branches by reason of many waters. Ezekiel 19:10.

Here 'mother' stands for the Ancient Church. The Most Ancient Church is pre-eminently called a 'mother' because it was the first Church, and the only one to be celestial. For that reason it was the Lord's beloved more than any other.

Genesis 3

Проучване

   

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

13 Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

21 Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

22 Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
