创世记 3

Studie

   

1 耶和华神所造的，惟有蛇比田野一切的活物更狡猾。蛇对女人说：神岂是真说不许你们吃园中所有树上的果子麽？

2 女人对蛇说：园中树上的果子，我们可以吃，

3 惟有园当中那棵树上的果子，神曾说：你们不可吃，也不可摸，免得你们死。

4 蛇对女人说：你们不一定死；

5 因为神知道，你们吃的日子眼睛就明亮了，你们便如神能知道善恶。

6 於是女人见那棵树的果子好作食物，也悦人的眼目，且是可喜爱的，能使人有智慧，就摘下果子来吃了，又给他丈夫，他丈夫也吃了。

7 他们二人的眼睛就明亮了，才知道自己是赤身露体，便拿无花果树的叶子为自己编作裙子。

8 天起了凉风，耶和华神在园中行走。那人和他妻子听见神的声音，就藏在园里的树木中，躲避耶和华神的面。

9 耶和华神呼唤那人，对他说：你在那里？

10 他说：我在园中听见你的声音，我就害怕；因为我赤身露体，我便藏了。

11 耶和华说：谁告诉你赤身露体呢？莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子吗？

12 那人说：你所赐给我与我同居的女人，他把那树上的果子给我，我就吃了。

13 耶和华神对女人说：你作的是甚麽事呢？女人说：那蛇引诱我，我就吃了。

14 耶和华神对蛇说：你既作了这事，就必受咒诅，比一切的牲畜野兽更甚。你必用肚子行走，终身吃土。

15 我又要叫你和女人彼此为仇；你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此为仇。女人的後裔要伤你的头；你要伤他的脚跟。

16 又对女人说：我必多多加增你怀胎的苦楚；你生产儿女必多受苦楚。你必恋慕你丈夫；你丈夫必管辖你。

17 又对亚当说：你既听从妻子的话，吃了我所吩咐你不可吃的那树上的果子，地必为你的缘故受咒诅；你必终身劳苦才能从地里得吃的。

18 地必给你长出荆棘和蒺藜来；你也要吃田间的菜蔬。

19 你必汗流满面才得糊口，直到你归了土，因为你是从土而出的。你本是尘土，仍要归於尘土。

20 亚当给他妻子起名叫夏娃，因为他是众生之母。

21 耶和华神为亚当和他妻子用皮子作衣服给他们穿。

22 耶和华神说：那人已经与我们相似，能知道善恶；现在恐怕他伸手又摘生命树的果子吃，就永远活着。

23 耶和华神便打发他出伊甸园去，耕种他所自出之土。

24 於是把他赶出去了；又在伊甸园的东边安设基路伯和四面转动发火焰的剑，要把守生命树的道路。

8935. 'An altar of soil you shall make for Me' means something which in a general way represents worship that springs from good. This is clear from the meaning of 'an altar' as the chief representative of the Lord and consequently of the worship of Him, dealt with in 921, 2777, 2811, 4489, 4541; and from the meaning of 'soil' or 'the ground' as good. The reason why 'the ground' stands for good is that a Church which abides in good is meant by 'the ground', 566. This is why Adam was said to be formed from the ground, at Genesis 2:7; 3:19; for one who belonged to the celestial Church, that is, the Church itself abiding in good, was meant by him, 478, 479. Since there are two entities that inspire worship of the Lord - goodness and truth - worship springing from good was represented by an altar of soil, while worship springing from truth was represented by an altar of stones. Both kinds of altars are the subject here; and those two entities that inspire worship are called faith and charity. Worship springing from truth has connection with faith, and worship springing from good has connection with charity.

[2] As regards worship inspired by faith and worship inspired by charity, or that which springs from truth and that which springs from good, the situation is that before a person has been regenerated his worship consists of truth, but after he has been regenerated it consists of good. Before a person has been regenerated he is led by means of truth to good, that is, by means of faith to charity; but when he has been regenerated he abides in good and consequently in truth, that is, in charity and consequently in faith, 8516, 8539, 8643, 8648, 8658. These two kinds of worship are what the altars of soil and of stone represent. The reason why the altar is the chief representative of worship of the Lord is that burnt offerings and sacrifices were offered on it; and it was in these that the worship of God by the Hebrew nation, and subsequently by the Israelite and Jewish nation, chiefly consisted, 923, 1343, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519, 6405.
