创世记 16

Studie

   

1 亚伯兰的妻子撒莱不给他生儿女。撒莱有一个使女,名叫夏甲,是埃及人。

2 撒莱对亚伯兰耶和华使我不能生育。求你和我的使女同房,或者我可以因他得孩子(原文作被建立)。亚伯兰听从了撒莱的话。

3 於是亚伯兰的妻子撒莱将使女埃及人夏甲丈夫为妾;那时亚伯兰迦南已经年。

4 亚伯兰与夏甲同房,夏甲就怀了孕;他见自己有孕,就小他的主母。

5 撒莱对亚伯兰:我因你受屈。我将我的使女放在你怀中,他见自己有了孕,就小我。愿耶和华在你我中间判断

6 亚伯兰对撒莱:使女在你下,你可以随意待他。撒莱苦待他,他就从撒莱面前逃走了。

7 耶和华的使者在旷野书珥上的泉旁遇见他,

8 对他:撒莱的使女夏甲,你从那里?要往那里去?夏甲:我从我的主母撒莱面前逃出

9 耶和华的使者对他:你回到你母那里,服在他

10 :我必使你的後裔极其繁多,甚至不可胜

11 :你如今怀孕要生一个儿子,可以给他起名以实玛利,因为耶和华见了你的苦情。(以实玛利就是神见的意思)

12 他为人必像野驴。他的要攻打人,人的也要攻打他;他必住在众弟兄的东边。

13 夏甲就称那对他说话耶和华顾人的神。因而:在这里我也见那顾我的麽?

14 所以这庇耳拉海莱。这正在加低斯和巴列中间。

15 後来夏甲给亚伯兰生了一个儿子亚伯兰给他起名以实玛利

16 夏甲给亚伯兰以实玛利的时候,亚伯兰八十六岁。

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 16

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff

Here are some excerpts from Swedenborg's "Arcana Coelestia" that help explain the inner meaning of this chapter:

AC 1890. The subject treated of in this chapter is the Lord’s first rational, which was conceived by the influx of the internal man into the affection of memory-knowledges (scientiae) of the external. The internal man is "Abram;" the affection of memory-knowledges in the external is "Hagar the Egyptian handmaid;" the rational thence derived is "Ishmael." The nature of this rational is here described; and it is afterwards said (chapter 21); that it was expelled from the house, after the Lord‘s Divine rational, represented by Isaac, had been born.

AC 1891. The Lord’s first rational was conceived according to order by the influx or conjunction of the internal man with the life of the affection of memory-knowledges belonging to the external (verses 1 to 3). But as this affection was of the external man, its nature was such that it held intellectual truth in low esteem (verse 4). On which account the Lord thought concerning the subjugation of it (verses 5 to 9), and that when subjugated, it would become spiritual and celestial (verses 10, 11). What it would be if not subjugated, is described (verse 12); the Lord‘s insight into the cause from His interior man (verses 13, 14). The rational is thus described in respect to its quality; also the Lord’s state when it originated (verses 15, 16).

1890. Genesis 16

1. And Sarai, Abram's wife, bore him no child. And she had an Egyptian servant-girl, and her name was Hagar.

2. And Sarai said to Abram, Behold, now, Jehovah has prevented me from bearing; go in now to my servant-girl; perhaps I shall be built up from her; and Abram hearkened to Sarai's voice.

3. And Sarai, Abram's wife (uxor), took Hagar her Egyptian servant-girl, after Abram had been dwelling ten years in the land of Canaan, and she gave her to Abram her husband (vir) as his wife (mulier).

4. And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And she saw that she had conceived, and her mistress was despised in her eyes.

5. And Sarai said to Abram, May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my servant-girl into your bosom, and she saw that she had conceived, and I am despised in her eyes. May Jehovah judge between me and you!

6. And Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your servant-girl is in your hand; do to her what is good in your eyes. And Sarai humiliated her, and she fled from her face.

7. And the angel of Jehovah found her near a spring of water in the desert, near the spring on the road to Shur.

8. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant-girl, where are you coming from, and where are you going? And she said, From the face of Sarai my mistress I am fleeing.

9. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress and humble yourself beneath her hands.

10. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, I will multiply your seed greatly and it will not be numbered for multitude.

11. And the angel of Jehovah said to her, Behold, you are with child, and you will bear a son, and you will call his name Ishmael because Jehovah has hearkened to your affliction.

12. And he will be a wild-ass man; his hand will be against all, and the hand of all against him; and he will dwell in opposition to 1 all his brothers.

13. And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, You are a God who sees me; for she said, Have I not also here seen after Him who sees me?

14. Therefore she called the spring, The spring of the Living One who sees me; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bared.

15. And Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram called the name of his son whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16. And Abram was a son of eighty-six years when Hagar bore Ishmael for Abram.

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter is the first rational with the Lord which was conceived from the influx of the Internal Man into the External Man's affection for knowledge. The Internal Man is Abram, while the External Man's affection for knowledge is Hagar the Egyptian servant-girl; and the rational born from these two is Ishmael. The nature of this rational is described, and further on, in Chapter 21, it is said that it was 'driven out of the house' after the Lord's Divine Rational represented by Isaac had been born.
