Genesis 4

Studovat vnitřní smysl

       

1 En die mens het sy vrou Eva beken, en sy het swanger geword en Kain gebaar en gesê: Ek het 'n man verkry met die hulp van die HERE.

2 Daarna het sy ook sy broer Abel gebaar. En Abel het 'n skaapherder geword, en Kain 'n landbouer.

3 En ná verloop van tyd het Kain van die vrugte van die land aan die HERE 'n offer gebring.

4 En Abel het ook van die eersgeborenes van sy kleinvee gebring, naamlik van hulle vet. En die HERE het Abel en sy offer genadig aangesien,

5 maar Kain en sy offer nie aangesien nie. Toe word Kain baie kwaad, en hy het sy hoof laat hang.

6 En die HERE sê vir Kain: Waarom is jy kwaad, en waarom laat jy jou hoof hang?

7 Is daar nie verheffing as jy goed doen nie? En as jy nie goed doen nie--die sonde lê en loer voor die deur, en sy begeerte is na jou; maar jy moet daaroor heers.

8 En Kain het met sy broer Abel gepraat; en toe hulle in die veld was, het Kain teen sy broer Abel opgestaan en hom doodgeslaan.

9 Toe sê die HERE vir Kain: Waar is jou broer Abel? En hy antwoord: Ek weet nie. Is ek my broer se wagter?

10 En Hy sê: Wat het jy gedoen? Die stem van die bloed van jou broer roep na My van die aarde af.

11 Daarom sal jy vervloek wees, ver van die grond wat sy mond oopgemaak het om die bloed van jou broer uit jou hand te ontvang.

12 As jy die grond bewerk, sal dit sy vermoë aan jou nie meer gee nie; 'n swerwer en vlugteling sal jy wees op die aarde.

13 Daarop sê Kain vir die HERE: My skuld is te groot om dit te dra.

14 Kyk, U verdryf my nou uit die land uit, en ek moet my verberg vir u aangesig: 'n swerwer en vlugteling sal ek op die aarde wees, en elkeen wat my kry, sal my doodslaan.

15 Maar die HERE sê vir hom: Daarom, as enigeen Kain doodslaan, sal dit sewevoudig gewreek word. En die HERE het 'n teken gegee aan Kain, sodat enigeen wat hom kry, hom nie sou doodslaan nie.

16 Toe gaan Kain weg van die aangesig van die HERE, en hy het gewoon in die land Nod, aan die oostekant van Eden.

17 En Kain het sy vrou beken, en sy het swanger geword en Henog gebaar. Daarna bou hy 'n stad en noem die stad na die naam van sy seun Henog.

18 En vir Henog is Irad gebore; en Irad was die vader van Mehújael; en Mehújael was die vader van Metúsael; en Metúsael die vader van Lameg.

19 En Lameg het vir hom twee vroue geneem. Die naam van die eerste was Ada, en die naam van die tweede Silla.

20 En Ada het Jabal gebaar. Hy was die vader van die tentbewoners en die veeboere.

21 Die naam van sy broer was Jubal. Hy was die vader van almal wat op siters en fluite speel.

22 En Silla het ook gebaar, naamlik Tubal-Kain, 'n smid wat allerhande koper-- en ysterinstrumente gemaak het. En die suster van Tubal-Kain was Naéma.

23 En Lameg het aan sy vroue gesê: Ada en Silla, hoor na my stem! vroue van Lameg, luister na my woord! Voorwaar, ek slaan 'n man dood wat my wond en 'n seun wat my kwes.

24 Want Kain sal sewe maal gewreek word, maar Lameg sewe en sewentig maal.

25 En Adam het sy vrou weer beken, en sy het 'n seun gebaar en hom Set genoem. Want, het sy gesê, God het my 'n ander kind geskenk in die plek van Abel, omdat Kain hom doodgeslaan het.

26 En ook vir Set is 'n seun gebore, wat hy Enos genoem het. Toe het hulle die Naam van die HERE begin aanroep.

  

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 4      

Napsal(a) Emanuel Swedenborg

Here are some excerpts from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that help explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 324. Doctrines separated from the church, or heresies, are here treated of; and a new church that was afterwards raised up, called "Enosh."

AC 325. The Most Ancient Church had faith in the Lord through love; but there arose some who separated faith from love. The doctrine of faith separated from love was called "Cain;" and charity, which is love toward the neighbor, was called "Abel" (verses 1, 2).

AC 326. The worship of each is described, that of faith separated from love, by the "offering of Cain;" and that of charity, by the "offering of Abel" (verses 3, 4). That worship from charity was acceptable, but not worship from separated faith (verses 4, 5).

AC 327. That the state of those who were of separated faith became evil, is described by Cain‘s "anger being kindled, and his countenance falling" (verses 5, 6).

AC 328. And that the quality of the faith is known from the charity; and that charity wishes to be with faith, if faith is not made the principal, and is not exalted above charity (verse 7).

AC 329. That charity was extinguished in those who separated faith, and set it before charity, is described by Cain slaying his brother Abel" (verses 8, 9).

AC 330. Charity extinguished is called the "voice of bloods" (verse 10); perverted doctrine, the "curse from the ground" (verse 11); the falsity and evil originating thence, the "fugitive and wanderer in the earth" (verse 12). And as they had averted themselves from the Lord, they were in danger of eternal death (verses 13, 14). But as it was through faith that charity would afterwards be implanted, faith was made inviolable, and this is signified by the "mark set upon Cain" (verse 15). And its removal from its former position is denoted by "Cain dwelling toward the east of Eden" (verse 16).

AC 331. The amplification of this heresy is called "Enoch" (verse 17).

AC 332. The heresies that sprang from this one are also called by their names, in the last of which, called "Lamech," there was nothing of faith remaining (verse 18).

AC 333. A new church then arose, which is meant by "Adah and Zillah," and is described by their sons "Jabal," Jubal," and "Tubal-Cain;" the celestial things of the church by "Jabal," the spiritual by "Jubal," and the natural by "Tubal-Cain" (verses 19-22).

AC 334. That this church arose when everything of faith and charity was extinguished, and had violence done to it, which was in the highest degree sacrilegious, is described (verses 23, 24).

AC 335. A summary of the subject is given: that after faith, signified by "Cain," had extinguished charity, a new faith was given by the Lord, whereby charity was implanted. This faith is called "Seth" (verse 25).

AC 336. The charity implanted by faith is called "Enosh," or another "man" (homo), which is the name of that church (verse 26).
