Postanak 22

Studie

   

1 Poslije tih događaja Bog stavi Abrahama na kušnju. Zovnu ga: "Abrahame!" On odgovori: "Evo me!"

2 Bog nastavi: "Uzmi svoga sina, jedinca svoga Izaka koga ljubiš, i pođi u krajinu Moriju pa ga ondje prinesi kao žrtvu paljenicu na brdu koje ću ti pokazati."

3 Ujutro Abraham podrani, osamari magarca, sa sobom povede dvojicu svojih slugu i svog sina Izaka, pošto je prije nacijepao drva za žrtvu paljenicu, i uputi se na mjesto koje mu je Bog označio.

4 Treći dan Abraham podigne oči i opazi mjesto izdaleka.

5 Abraham onda reče slugama: "Vi ostanite ovdje uz magarca, a ja i dječak odosmo gore da se poklonimo, pa ćemo se vratiti k vama".

6 Abraham uzme drva za žrtvu paljenicu, stavi ih na sina Izaka, a u svoju ruku uzme kremen i nož. Tako pođu obojica zajedno.

7 Onda Izak reče svome ocu Abrahamu: "Oče!" "Evo me, sine!" - javi se on. "Evo kremena i drva," opet će sin, "ali gdje je janje za žrtvu paljenicu?"

8 "Bog će već providjeti janje za žrtvu paljenicu, sine moj!" - odgovori Abraham. I nastave put.

9 Stignu na mjesto o kojemu je Bog govorio. Ondje Abraham podigne žrtvenik, naslaže drva, sveže svog sina Izaka i položi ga po drvima na žrtvenik.

10 Pruži sad Abraham ruku i uzme nož da zakolje svog sina.

11 Uto ga zovne s neba anđeo Jahvin i poviče: "Abrahame! Abrahame!" "Evo me!" - odgovori on.

12 "Ne spuštaj ruku na dječaka", reče, "niti mu što čini! Sad, evo, znam da se Boga bojiš, jer nisi uskratio ni svog sina, jedinca svoga."

13 Podiže Abraham oči i pogleda, i gle - za njim ovan, rogovima se zapleo u grmu. Tako Abraham ode, uzme ovna i prinese ga za žrtvu paljenicu mjesto svoga sina.

14 Onome mjestu Abraham dade ime "Jahve proviđa". Zato se danas veli: "Na brdu Jahvina proviđanja."

15 Anđeo Jahvin zovne Abrahama s neba drugi put

16 i reče: "Kunem se samim sobom, izjavljuje Jahve: Kad si to učinio i nisi mi uskratio svog jedinca sina,

17 svoj ću blagoslov na te izliti i učiniti tvoje potomstvo brojnim poput zvijezda na nebu i pijeska na obali morskoj! A tvoji će potomci osvajati vrata svojih neprijatelja.

18 Budući da si poslušao moju zapovijed, svi će se narodi zemlje blagoslivljati tvojim potomstvom."

19 Zatim se Abraham vrati k svojim slugama pa se zajedno upute u Beer Šebu. U Beer Šebi se Abraham nastani.

20 Poslije tih događaja obavijeste Abrahama: "I tvome bratu Nahoru Milka je porodila djecu:

21 njegova prvorođenca Usa, brata mu Buza i Kemuela - oca Aramova,

22 Keseda, Haza, Pildaša, Jidlafa i Betuela."

23 Betuel je bio otac Rebekin. Njih je osam rodila Milka Nahoru, Abrahamovu bratu.

24 A i njegova suložnica, kojoj bijaše ime Reuma, rodila je Tebaha, Gahama, Tahaša i Maaku.

2798. That 'Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering' means the merit of righteousness is clear from what has been stated and shown above in 2784, and so without further explanation.

[2798a] 'And laid them on Isaac [his son]' means that it, that is to say, the merit of righteousness, was joined to the Divine Rational. This becomes clear from the representation of 'Isaac' as the Lord's Divine Rational, often dealt with already, and from the meaning of 'laying it on him' as allying it. The expression 'his son' is used because the Lord's Divine Human was not only conceived but was also born from Jehovah. The Lord's conception from Jehovah is very well known from the Word of the Lord, and therefore He is called 'Son of the Most High', 'Son of God', and 'Only Begotten of the Father' in Matthew 2:15; 3, 16, 17; 16:13-17; 17:5; 27:43, 54; Mark 1:11; 9:7, 9; 14:61-62; Luke 1:31-32, 35; 3:21-22; 9:35; 10:22; John 1:14, 18, 49; 3:13, 16-18; 5:20-27; 6:69; 9:34-35, 38; 10:35-36; 20:30-31, and besides these in very many other places where He calls Jehovah His Father.

[2] It is also well known that He was born of a virgin Mary, yet even so like any other. But when He was born again, that is, became Divine, this was from Jehovah who dwelt within Him and who was Himself as to the very Being (Esse) of life. The union of the Divine Essence and the Human Essence was effected mutually and reciprocally, so that He united the Divine Essence to the Human Essence, and the Human Essence to the Divine Essence, see 1921, 1999, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2083, 2508, 2523, 2618, 2628, 2632, 2728, 2729. From this it may become clear that the Lord made the Human within Himself Divine from His own power and in so doing became Righteousness. That which was allied to the Divine Rational when He underwent inmost temptation was the merit of righteousness; and it was from the Divine Rational that He fought, and it was against it that evil genii fought, until He glorified that Divine Rational also. These are the things meant in the internal sense by Abraham's laying the pieces of wood for the burnt offering on Isaac his son, and they are the things which angels perceive when these words are being read.
