創世記 3

Studie

   

1 耶和華所造的,惟有比田野一切的活物更狡猾。女人豈是真不許你們園中所有上的果子麼?

2 女人:園中上的果子,我們可以

3 惟有園當中那棵上的果子,:你們不可,也不可摸,免得你們

4 女人:你們不一定

5 因為知道,你們的日子眼睛就明亮了,你們便如知道善惡。

6 於是女人見那棵的果子作食物,也悅人的眼目,且是可喜愛的,能使人有智慧,就摘下果子來吃了,又丈夫,他丈夫吃了

7 他們人的眼睛就明亮了,才知道自己是赤身露體,便拿無花果樹子為自己編作裙子。

8 起了涼耶和華在園中行走。那人和他妻子的聲音,就藏在園裡的樹木中,躲避耶和華的面。

9 耶和華呼喚那人,對他:你在那裡?

10 :我在園中見你的聲音,我就害怕;因為我赤身露體,我便藏了。

11 耶和華:誰告訴你赤身露體呢?莫非你吃了我吩咐你不可的那上的果子嗎?

12 那人:你所賜我與我同居的女人,他把那上的果子我,我就吃了

13 耶和華女人:你作的是甚麼事呢?女人:那引誘我,我就吃了

14 耶和華:你既作了這事,就必受咒詛,比一切的牲畜野獸更甚。你必用肚子行走,終身土。

15 我又要叫你和女人彼此為仇;你的後裔和女人的後裔也彼此為仇。女人的後裔要傷你的;你要傷他的腳跟

16 又對女人:我必多多加增你懷胎的苦楚;你生產兒女必多受苦楚。你必戀慕你丈夫;你丈夫必管轄你。

17 又對亞當:你既聽從妻子的話,吃了我所吩咐你不可的那上的果子,地必為你的緣故受咒詛;你必終身勞苦才能從地裡得的。

18 地必給你長出荊棘和蒺藜來;你也要田間的菜蔬。

19 你必汗流滿面才得糊口,直到你歸了土,因為你是從土而出的。你本是塵土,仍要歸於塵土。

20 亞當給他妻子起名夏娃,因為他是眾生之母。

21 耶和華為亞當和他妻子子作衣服給他們穿。

22 耶和華:那人已經與我們相似,能知道善惡;現在恐怕他伸又摘生命的果子,就永遠活著。

23 耶和華便打發他出伊甸園去,耕種他所自出之土。

24 於是把他趕出去了;又在伊甸園的東邊安設基路伯和四面動發火燄的,要把守生命道路

Arcana Coelestia # 301

301. As regards the second arcanum, if they had been instructed in mysteries of faith they would have perished for ever, meant by the words 'Now by chance he will put out his hand and also take from the tree of life 1 and eat, and live forever', the position is this: Once people have become reversed orders of life and are unwilling to rely on anything but self and the proprium as the source of their life and wisdom, they are given to reasoning as to whether any matter of faith which they hear about is so or not so. And because self, sensory evidence, and facts are the basis of their reasoning, they inevitably adopt a negative attitude. And when their attitude is negative they also speak blasphemy and practise profanation, and at length do not care whether or not they mingle together unholy things with holy. When man becomes such he stands so condemned in the next life that there is no hope of salvation for him, for the things that have been mingled through acts of profanation remain that way permanently. The moment some idea of what is holy enters in, so does the idea joined to it of what is unholy, and this makes it impossible for that person to live in any but a community of people who are condemned. Anything at all that has been joined to, and is present as, an idea within a person's thought is in the next life perceived very precisely even by spirits in the world of spirits, but more so by angelic spirits. It is perceived so precisely that from merely one idea they know his whole character. Getting rid of unholy things such as are joined on to those that are holy is not possible without hellish torment, which is so intense that if man knew about it he would beware of profanation as of hell itself.
