創世記 9

Studie

   

1 賜福給挪亞和他的兒子,對他們:你們要生養眾多,遍滿了

2 上的走獸和空中的飛都必驚恐,懼怕你們,連上一切的昆蟲並裡一切的魚都交付你們的

3 凡活著的動物都可以作你們的食物。這一切我都賜你們,如同菜蔬一樣。

4 惟獨帶著血,那就是他的生命,你們不可

5 流你們血、害你們命的,無論是獸是,我必討他的罪,就是向各的弟兄也是如此。

6 凡流人血的,他的血也必被人所流,因為造人是照自己的形像造的。

7 你們要生養眾多,在上昌盛繁茂。

8 曉諭挪亞和他的兒子

9 我與你們和你們的裔立約,

10 並與你們這裡的一切活物─就是飛牲畜、走,凡從方舟裡出來的活物─立約。

11 我與你們立約,凡有血的,不再被洪水滅絕,也不再有洪水毀壞了。

12 :我與你們並你們這裡的各樣活物所立的永約是有記號的。

13 我把虹放在彩中,這就可作我與立約的記號了。

14 我使彩蓋的時候,必有虹現在彩中,

15 我便記念我與你們和各樣有血的活物所立的約,水就再不氾濫、毀壞一切有血的物了。

16 虹必現在彩中,我見,就要記念我與上各樣有血的活物所立的永約。

17 對挪亞:這就是我與上一切有血之物立約的記號了。

18 出方舟挪亞的兒子就是、含、雅弗。含是迦南父親

19 這是挪亞的個兒子,他們的後裔分散在全

20 挪亞作起農夫來,栽了一個葡萄園

21 了園中的酒便了,在帳棚裡赤著身子。

22 迦南父親見他父親赤身,就到外邊告訴他兩個弟兄。

23 於是和雅弗拿件衣服搭在肩上,倒退著進去,給他父親蓋上;他們背著臉就不見父親的赤身。

24 挪亞醒了酒,知道兒子向他所作的事,

25 迦南當受咒詛,必給他弟兄作奴僕的奴僕;

26 耶和華是應當稱頌的!願迦南的奴僕。

27 使雅弗擴張,使他住在的帳棚裡;又願迦南作他的奴僕。

28 洪水以,挪亞又活了五十年。

29 挪亞共活了五十歲就死了

575. That by the days of man being a hundred and twenty years is signified that he ought to have remains of faith, appears from what has been said in the foregoing chapter (Genesis 5:3-4), concerning “days” and “years” signifying times and states; and also from the circumstance of the most ancient people from numbers variously compounded signifying states and changes of states in the church; but the nature of their ecclesiastical computation is now totally lost. Here in like manner numbers of years are mentioned, whose signification it is impossible for anyone to understand, unless he be first acquainted with the hidden meaning of each particular number from “one” to “twelve” and so on. It plainly appears that they contain within them something else that is secret, for that men were to live a “hundred and twenty years” has no connection with the preceding part of the verse, nor did they live one hundred and twenty years, as is evident from the people after the flood (chapter 11), where it is said of Shem that “he lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years;” and that Arphaxad lived after be begat Selah “four hundred and three years;” and that Selah lived after he begat Eber “four hundred and three years;” and that Eber lived after he begat Peleg “four hundred and thirty years;” and that Noah lived after the flood “three hundred and fifty years” (Genesis 9:28), and so on. But what is involved in the number “one hundred and twenty” appears only from the meaning of “ten” and “twelve” which being multiplied together make one hundred and twenty, and from the signification of these component numbers it may be seen that “one hundred and twenty” signifies the remains of faith. The number “ten” in the Word, as also “tenths” signify and represent remains, which are preserved by the Lord in the internal man, and which are holy, because they are of the Lord alone; and the number “twelve” signifies faith, or all things relating to faith in one complex; the number therefore that is compounded of these, signifies the remains of faith.
