创世记 8

Studie

   

1 记念挪亚和挪亚方舟里的一切走牲畜,水势渐落。

2 渊源和上的窗户都闭塞了,上的大雨也止住了。

3 水从上渐退。过了一五十,水就渐消。

4 日,方舟停在亚拉腊上。

5 水又渐消,到十初一日,顶都现出来了。

6 过了四十,挪亚开了方舟的窗户,

7 放出一只乌鸦去;那乌鸦飞来飞去,直到上的水都乾了。

8 他又放出一只鸽子去,要水从地上退了没有。

9 但遍上都是水,鸽子不着落,就回到方舟挪亚那里,挪亚伸鸽子接进方舟

10 他又等了,再把鸽子从方舟放出去。

11 到了晚上鸽子回到他那里,嘴里叼着一个新拧下橄榄子,挪亚就知道上的水退了。

12 他又等了,放出鸽子去,鸽子就不再回来了。

13 到挪亚零一岁,正初一日,上的水都乾了。挪亚撤去方舟的盖观,便见地面上乾了。

14 到了二二十日,就都乾了。

15 对挪亚

16 你和你的妻子、儿子、儿妇都可以出方舟。

17 在你那里凡有血的活物,就是飞牲畜,和一切爬在上的昆虫,都要带出来,叫他在上多多滋生,大大兴旺。

18 於是挪亚和他的妻子、儿子、儿妇都出来了。

19 一切走、昆虫、飞,和上所有的动物,各从其类,也都出了方舟。

20 挪亚为耶和华筑了一座,拿各类洁净的牲畜、飞献在上为燔祭。

21 耶和华那馨之气,就:我不再因人的缘故咒诅地(人从小时里怀着恶念),也不再按着我才行的灭各种的活物了。

22 还存留的时候,稼穑、寒暑、冬夏、昼夜就永不停息了。

854. 'The mountains of Ararat' means light. 1 This becomes clear from the meaning of 'a mountain' as the good that stems from love and charity, 795, and from the meaning of 'Ararat', which is light, indeed the light of someone who has been regenerated. The new light, or dawn, of a regenerate person in no way flows from cognitions of the truths of faith but from charity; for the truths of faith are like rays of light, and love or charity like the flame. The light in someone who is being regenerated derives not from the truths of faith but from charity. The truths of faith themselves are rays of light flowing from charity. It is clear therefore that 'the mountains of Ararat' means that kind of light. This is the first light following temptation, and being the first it is obscure and is called lumen, not lux.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. In this paragraph the Latin word lumen meaning 'light' denotes an inferior kind of light to that meant by lux.
