创世记 13

Studie

   

1 亚伯兰带着他的妻子与罗得,并一切所有的,都从埃及地去。

2 亚伯兰的、牲畜极多。

3 他从地渐渐往伯特利去,到了伯特利和艾的中间,就是从前支搭帐棚的地方

4 也是他起先筑地方;他又在那里求告耶和华的名。

5 亚伯兰同行的罗得也有牛群羊群、帐棚。

6 容不下他们;因为他们的财物甚多,使他们不能同居。

7 当时,迦南人与比利洗人在那居住亚伯兰的牧人和罗得的牧人相争。

8 亚伯兰就对罗得:你我不可相争,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相争,因为我们是骨肉(原文作弟兄)。

9 不都在你眼前麽?请你离开我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左。

10 罗得举目见约但河的全平原,直到琐珥,都是滋润的,那耶和华未灭所多玛、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和华的园子,也像埃及

11 於是罗得选择约但河的全平原,往东迁移;他们就彼此分离了。

12 亚伯兰迦南,罗得在平原的城邑,渐渐挪移帐棚,直到所多玛

13 所多玛人在耶和华面前罪大恶极。

14 罗得离别亚伯兰耶和华亚伯兰:从你所在的地方,你举目向东西

15 凡你所见的一切,我都要赐你和你的後裔,直到永远

16 我也要使你的後裔如同上的尘沙那样多,若能数算上的尘沙才能数算你的後裔。

17 起来,纵横走遍这,因为我必把这你。

18 亚伯兰就搬了帐棚,到希伯仑幔利的橡树那里居住,在那里为耶和华筑了一座

1574. That 'the Canaanite' means hereditary evil from the mother in, the external man has been shown already in 1444, but that 'the Perizzite' means falsity deriving from evil is clear from other places in the Word where the Perizzite is mentioned, as in the following regarding Jacob,

Jacob said to Simeon and to Levi, You have brought trouble on me by making me stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and I being few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and smite me, and I shall be destroyed, I and my house. Genesis 34:30.

Here similarly 'the Canaanite' means evil and 'the Perizzite' falsity.

[2] In Joshua,

Joshua said to the sons of Joseph, If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest, and cut down for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and the Rephaim, if Mount Ephraim is too narrow for you. Joshua 17:15.

Here 'the Perizzites' means false assumptions and 'the Rephaim' false persuasions which they were to wipe out, for 'Mount Ephraim' in the internal sense means intelligence.

[3] In the Book of Judges,

After the death of Joshua the children of Israel inquired of Jehovah, saying, Who will go up for us against the Canaanite to start and fight against him? And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand. And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Go up with me into my lot, and let us fight against the Canaanite, and I will also go with you into your lot And Simeon went with him, and Judah went up. and Jehovah gave the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand. Judges 1:1-5.

Here 'Judah' also represents the Lord as regards celestial things, and 'Simeon' as regards derivative spiritual things. 'Canaanite' is the evil, and 'Perizzite' the falsity, that were overcome. This is how this reply, or Divine oracle, is to be understood.
