創世記 13

Studie

   

1 亞伯蘭帶著他的妻子與羅得,並一切所有的,都從埃及地去。

2 亞伯蘭的、牲畜極多。

3 他從地漸漸往伯特利去,到了伯特利和艾的中間,就是從前支搭帳棚的地方

4 也是他起先築地方;他又在那裡求告耶和華的名。

5 亞伯蘭同行的羅得也有牛群羊群、帳棚。

6 容不下他們;因為他們的財物甚多,使他們不能同居。

7 當時,迦南人與比利洗人在那居住亞伯蘭的牧人和羅得的牧人相爭。

8 亞伯蘭就對羅得:你我不可相爭,你的牧人和我的牧人也不可相爭,因為我們是骨肉(原文作弟兄)。

9 不都在你眼前麼?請你離開我:你向左,我就向右;你向右,我就向左。

10 羅得舉目見約但河的全平原,直到瑣珥,都是滋潤的,那耶和華未滅所多瑪、蛾摩拉以先如同耶和華的園子,也像埃及

11 於是羅得選擇約但河的全平原,往東遷移;他們就彼此分離了。

12 亞伯蘭迦南,羅得在平原的城邑,漸漸挪移帳棚,直到所多瑪

13 所多瑪人在耶和華面前罪大惡極。

14 羅得離別亞伯蘭耶和華亞伯蘭:從你所在的地方,你舉目向東西

15 凡你所見的一切,我都要賜你和你的後裔,直到永遠

16 我也要使你的後裔如同上的塵沙那樣多,若能數算上的塵沙才能數算你的後裔。

17 起來,縱橫走遍這,因為我必把這你。

18 亞伯蘭就搬了帳棚,到希伯崙幔利的橡樹那裡居住,在那裡為耶和華築了一座

1581. Separate, I pray, from me. That this signifies that the good cannot appear unless what is discordant is made null is evident from what has just been said; namely, that the internal man desires that which disagrees, in the external man, should separate itself; for until it has been separated, the good which continually flows in from the internal man, that is, from the Lord through the internal man, cannot appear. But as regards this separation, it is to be known that it is not separation, but quiescence. With no one, except the Lord, can the evil that is in the external man be separated. Whatever a man has once acquired, remains; but it seems to be separated when it is quiescent, for thus it appears to be none. Neither does it become quiescent so as to appear as none, except from the Lord; and when it does thus become quiescent, then for the first time do goods flow in from the Lord, and affect the external man. Such is the state of the angels; nor do they know otherwise than that evil has been separated from them; whereas there is only a withholding from the evil, thus a quiescence, so that it appears as none; consequently this is an appearance, as also the angels know when they reflect.
