تكوين 15

Studie

   

1 بعد هذه الامور صار كلام الرب الى ابرام في الرؤيا قائلا. لا تخف يا ابرام. انا ترس لك. اجرك كثير جدا.

2 فقال ابرام ايها السيد الرب ماذا تعطيني وانا ماض عقيما ومالك بيتي هو أليعازر الدمشقي.

3 وقال ابرام ايضا انك لم تعطني نسلا وهوذا ابن بيتي وارث لي.

4 فاذا كلام الرب اليه قائلا. لا يرثك هذا. بل الذي يخرج من احشائك هو يرثك.

5 ثم اخرجه الى خارج وقال انظر الى السماء وعدّ النجوم ان استطعت ان تعدّها. وقال له هكذا يكون نسلك.

6 فآمن بالرب فحسبه له برا.

7 وقال له انا الرب الذي اخرجك من أور الكلدانيين ليعطيك هذه الارض لترثها.

8 فقال ايها السيد الرب بماذا اعلم اني ارثها.

9 فقال له خذ لي عجلة ثلثية وعنزة ثلثية وكبشا ثلثيا ويمامة وحمامة.

10 فأخذ هذه كلها وشقها من الوسط وجعل شق كل واحد مقابل صاحبه. واما الطير فلم يشقه.

11 فنزلت الجوارح على الجثث وكان ابرام يزجرها

12 ولما صارت الشمس الى المغيب وقع على ابرام سبات. واذا رعبة مظلمة عظيمة واقعة عليه.

13 فقال لابرام اعلم يقينا ان نسلك سيكون غريبا في ارض ليست لهم ويستعبدون لهم. فيذلونهم اربع مئة سنة.

14 ثم الامة التي يستعبدون لها انا ادينها. وبعد ذلك يخرجون باملاك جزيلة.

15 واما انت فتمضي الى آبائك بسلام وتدفن بشيبة صالحة.

16 وفي الجيل الرابع يرجعون الى ههنا. لان ذنب الاموريين ليس الى الآن كاملا.

17 ثم غابت الشمس فصارت العتمة. واذا تنور دخان ومصباح نار يجوز بين تلك القطع

18 في ذلك اليوم قطع الرب مع ابرام ميثاقا قائلا. لنسلك اعطي هذه الارض من نهر مصر الى النهر الكبير نهر الفرات.

1680. 'And also the Amorites inhabiting Hazezon-tamar' means kinds of evils derived from this. This is clear from what has just been stated and also from the representation and meaning of 'the Amorites', dealt with at verse 16 of the next chapter. As for the evils and falsities against which the Lord fought, it should be recognized that they were spirits from hell who were ruled by evils and falsities, that is, they were hells that were full of such things, hells which were infesting the human race constantly. Those in hell have but one desire, to destroy everyone; and they find nothing more pleasurable than inflicting torture on others.

[2] All spirits in the next life are distinguished as follows: Those who wish evil on others are hellish or devilish spirits, whereas those who will good to others are good and angelic spirits. A person may know whom he is among, whether among those from hell or those who are angelic, from this: If he intends evil to his neighbour, thinks nothing but evil regarding him, and when possible actually does it, and takes delight in this, he is among spirits from hell and also becomes one himself in the next life. The person however who intends good to his neighbour, thinks nothing but good regarding him, and when possible actually does it, is among angelic spirits, and also becomes an angel in the next life. This is how one spirit is to be distinguished from another; so let the individual examine himself in this way to discover what he himself is really like.

[3] Refraining from evil when one is unable to do it or when one dare not do it amounts in the end to nothing; and doing good for selfish reasons also amounts to nothing. These are external considerations that are taken away in the next life. There it is a person's thought and intention that determine what he is. There are many spirits who because they were accustomed to do so in the world are able to speak virtuously, but it is discerned in an instant whether their mind or intention is in agreement with what they say. If it is not, a person is cast away among spirits in hell who are of his own genus and species.
