创世记 15

Studie

   

1 这事以耶和华异象中有亚伯兰说:亚伯兰,你不要惧!我是你的盾牌,必大大的赏赐你。

2 亚伯兰耶和华阿,我既无子,你还赐我甚麽呢?并且要承受我家业的是大马色人以利以谢。

3 亚伯兰:你没有儿子;那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。

4 耶和华又有对他:这人必不成为你的後嗣;你本身所生的才成为你的後嗣。

5 於是领他走到外边,:你向观看,算众,能得过来麽?又对他:你的後裔将要如此。

6 亚伯兰信耶和华耶和华就以此为他的

7 耶和华又对他:我是耶和华,曾领你出了迦勒底的吾珥,为要将这赐你为业。

8 亚伯兰耶和华阿,我怎能知道必得这地为业呢?

9 :你为我取一只年的母,一只年的母山羊,一只年的公绵,一只斑鸠,一只雏鸽。

10 亚伯兰就取了这些来,每样劈开,分成两半,一半对着一半地摆列,只有没有劈开。

11 有鸷鸟来,落在那死畜的肉上,亚伯兰就把他吓飞了。

12 日头正落的时候,亚伯兰沉沉地睡了;忽然有惊人的黑暗落在他身上。

13 耶和华对亚伯兰:你要的确知道,你的後裔必寄居别人的,又服事那的人;那的人要苦待他们年。

14 并且他们所要服事的那国,我要惩罚,来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。

15 但你要享大寿数,平平安安地归到你列祖那里,被人埋葬。

16 到了第四,他们必回到此地,因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈。

17 日落天黑,不料有冒烟的炉并烧着的把从那些肉块中经过。

18 当那日,耶和华亚伯兰立约,:我已赐你的後裔,从埃及直到伯拉

19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、

20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、

21 亚摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。

1824. That 'a heifer' means those things that are the representatives of exterior celestial things, 'a she-goat' those that are the representatives of interior celestial, and 'a ram' those that are the representatives of spiritual-celestial, becomes clear from the sacrifices, which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be dealt with later on when sacrifices are the subject. There are exterior celestial things and interior celestial things, as well as spiritual-celestial. Exterior celestial things are such as belong to the external man, interior celestial such as belong to the internal man, while spiritual-celestial are such as derive from both exterior and interior celestial things. The celestial itself consists in love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour. That celestial flows in from the Lord, and indeed by way of the internal man into the external. In the interior man it is called the interior celestial, in the exterior the exterior celestial. The exterior celestial consists of every affection for good, and also indeed every pleasure which springs from the affection for good. Insofar as these two, that is, the affection for good and the pleasure springing from it, have the good of love and charity within them, they have what is celestial within them, and happiness too: The spiritual-celestial however consists of every affection for truth which has within it the affection for good, that is, the affection for truth which is begotten by the affection for good; thus it is faith that has charity within it, or faith which is begotten by charity.
