创世记 11

Studie

   

1 那时,天下人的口音、言语都是样。

2 他们往东边迁移的时候,在示拿遇见一片平原,就在那里。

3 他们彼此商量:来罢!我们要作砖,把砖烧透了。他们就拿砖当石头,又拿漆当灰泥。

4 他们:来罢!我们建造一座城和一座顶通,为要传扬我们的名,免得我们分散在全上。

5 耶和华降临,要世人所建造的城和

6 耶和华:看哪,他们成为样的人民,都是样的言语,如今既作起这事来,以後他们所要作的事就没有不成就的了。

7 我们去,在那里变乱他们的口音,使他们的言语彼此不通。

8 於是耶和华使他们从那里分散在全上;他们就停工,不造那城了。

9 因为耶和华在那里变乱天下人的言语,使众人分散在全上,所以那城名巴别(就是变乱的意思)。

1330. These are the births of Shem. That this signifies the derivations of the Second Ancient Church, is evident from the signification of “births,” as being the origin and derivation of doctrinal things and of worships (as before said, n. 1145). Here, and elsewhere in the Word, the “births” are no other than those of the church, that is, of doctrinal things and of worships. The internal sense of the Word enfolds nothing else; and therefore when any church is born, it is said that “these are its births,” as for instance when the Most Ancient Church was born: “These are the births of the heavens and of the earth” (Genesis 2:4); and in like manner with the other churches which followed, before the flood: “This is the book of the births” (Genesis 5:1). In like manner with the churches after the flood, which were three-the First called Noah, the Second named from Eber, the Third from Jacob, and afterwards from Judah and Israel. When the First of these churches is described, the record begins in a similar manner: “These are the births of the sons of Noah” (verse 1 of the preceding chapter). So with this Second church, named from Eber, in this verse: “These are the births of Shem.” And with the Third also, in the twenty-seventh verse of this chapter: “These are the births of Terah.” So that “births” signify nothing else than the origins and derivations of the doctrinal things and of the worships of the church that is being described. The reason why the births of this Second church are derived from Shem, or why its beginning is described by “Shem,” is that “Shem” signifies internal worship, here, the internal worship of this church. Not that the internal worship of this church was such internal worship as that which was signified by “Shem” in the preceding chapter; but merely that it is the internal worship of the church.
