創世記 22

Studie

   

1 這些事以要試驗亞伯拉罕,就呼叫他亞伯拉罕!他:我在這裡。

2 :你帶著你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,你所以撒,往摩利亞去,在我所要指示你的上,把他獻為燔祭。

3 亞伯拉罕起來,備上,帶著兩個僕人和他兒子以撒,也劈好了燔祭的柴,就起身往所指示他的地方去了。

4 到了第三日,亞伯拉罕舉目遠遠的見那地方

5 亞伯拉罕對他的僕人:你們和在此等候,我與童子往那裡去拜一拜,就回到你們這裡來。

6 亞伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他兒子以撒身上,自己裡拿著與刀;於是人同行。

7 以撒對他父親亞伯拉罕父親哪!亞伯拉罕:我兒,我在這裡。以撒:請看,與柴都有了,但燔祭的羊羔在那裡呢?

8 亞伯拉罕:我兒,必自己預備作燔祭的羊羔。於是人同行。

9 他們到了所指示的地方亞伯拉罕在那裡築,把柴擺好,捆綁他的兒子以撒,放在的柴上。

10 亞伯拉罕就伸拿刀,要殺他的兒子

11 耶和華的使者從呼叫亞伯拉罕亞伯拉罕!他:我在這裡。

12 天使:你不可在這童子身上下。一點不可害他!現在我知道你是敬畏的了;因為你沒有將你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,留下不給我。

13 亞伯拉罕舉目觀,不料,有一隻公,兩角扣在稠密的小樹中,亞伯拉罕就取了那隻公來,獻為燔祭,代替他的兒子

14 亞伯拉罕給那地方起名耶和華以勒(意思就是耶和華必預備的意思),直到今日人還:在耶和華的上必有預備。

15 耶和華的使者第二次從呼叫亞伯拉罕說:

16 耶和華:你既行了這事,不留下你的兒子,就是你獨生的兒子,我便指著自己起誓

17 論福,我必賜大福給你;論子孫,我必叫你的子孫多起來,如同上的邊的沙。你子孫必得著仇敵的城

18 並且上萬國都必因你的後裔得福,因為你聽從了我的話。

19 於是亞伯拉罕回到他僕人那裡,他們一同起身往別是巴去,亞伯拉罕在別是巴。

20 這事以,有人告訴亞伯拉罕說:密迦給你兄弟拿鶴生了幾個兒子

21 長子是烏斯,他的兄弟是布斯和亞蘭的父親基母利,

22 並基薛、哈瑣、必達、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。

23 個人都是密迦給亞伯拉罕的兄弟拿鶴生的。

24 拿鶴的妾名叫流瑪,生了提八、迦含、他轄,和瑪迦。

1676. 'As far as El-paran which is over into the wilderness' means the range of their extension. This becomes clear from the fact that the Horites were smitten and made to flee as far as that place. The wilderness of Paran is mentioned in Genesis 21:21; Numbers 10:12; 12:16; 13:3, 26; Deuteronomy 1:1. What 'El-paran which is in the wilderness' means here cannot be easily explained beyond this, that the Lord's first victory over the hells meant by those nations did not as yet extend any further. But how far it did extend is meant by 'El-paran which is over into the wilderness'.

[2] Anyone who has not been given to know heavenly arcana may imagine that there was no necessity for the Lord's Coming into the world to fight with the hells, and by means of the temptations He suffered to war successfully against them and overcome them, since Divine Omnipotence could at any point have subdued them and confined them to their own particular hells. That it was nevertheless necessary stands as an unchanging truth. To disclose merely the most general aspects of those arcana however would take up a whole work, and would also provide opportunities for reasonings about Divine mysteries which, though disclosed, people's minds would not grasp. Nor would the majority wish to grasp them.

[3] It is enough therefore if people know and, since it is so, believe it to be an eternal truth that unless the Lord had come into the world and by means of the temptations which He suffered had overcome and conquered the hells, the human race would have perished, and that if He had not done so none who have lived on this planet even from the time of the Most Ancient Church could have been saved.
