1354. 创世记 11:25. 拿鹤生他拉之后, 又活了一百一十九年, 并且生儿育女.

“拿鹤生他拉之后, 又活了一百一十九年” 表持续时间和状态, “拿鹤” 和前面一样, 表近乎偶像崇拜的敬拜, “他拉” 表偶像崇拜. “并且生儿育女” 表偶像崇拜的仪式.

A company might have executives setting policy and strategy, engineers designing products, managers handling personnel and others handling various functions. They all do different things -- but if they're doing them with a shared underlying purpose, the company -- and the individuals in it -- will likely be successful. The Lord wants all human society to function in a similar way. We have different skills and individual loves, but if we all share a mutual love -- a love of serving others -- then society will function as one, will be a reflection of heaven and will be a good receptacle for the Lord's love. This can also happen within each of us, as we unify our talents and ideas around a central love. And in an abstract sense, it illustrates how a wide collection of varying ideas can be unified around a shared good intention. That is the kind of love pictured when “one” is used in the Bible, either as a specific number or in the sense of several people or objects “being one.” In more casual references -- when used to identify a specific person or object -- the meaning is relatively literal, and is connected to that person or object.
