Genesis 3

Studie

   

1 Had pak byl nejchytřejší ze všech živočichů polních, kteréž byl učinil Hospodin Bůh. A ten řekl ženě: Tak-liž jest, že vám Bůh řekl: Nebudete jísti z každého stromu rajského?

2 I řekla žena hadu: Ovoce stromů rajských jíme;

3 Ale o ovoci stromu, kterýž jest u prostřed ráje, řekl Bůh: Nebudete ho jísti, aniž se ho dotknete, abyste nezemřeli.

4 I řekl had ženě: Nikoli nezemřete smrtí!

5 Ale Bůh, že v kterýkoli den z něho jísti budete, otevrou se oči vaše; a budete jako bohové, vědouce dobré i zlé.

6 Viduci tedy žena, že dobrý jest strom k jídlu i příjemný očima, a k nabytí rozumnosti strom žádostivý, vzala z ovoce jeho a jedla; dala také i muži svému s sebou, a on jedl.

7 Tedy otevříny jsou oči obou dvou, a poznali, že jsou nazí; i navázali lístí fíkového a nadělali sobě věníků.

8 A v tom uslyšeli hlas Hospodina Boha chodícího po ráji k větru dennímu; i skryl se Adam a žena jeho před tváří Hospodina Boha, u prostřed stromoví rajského.

9 I povolal Hospodin Bůh Adama, a řekl jemu: Kdež jsi?

10 Kterýžto řekl: Hlas tvůj slyšel jsem v ráji a bál jsem se, že jsem nahý; protož skryl jsem se.

11 I řekl Bůh: Kdožť oznámil, že jsi nahý? Nejedl-lis ale z toho stromu, z něhožť jsem jísti zapověděl?

12 I řekl Adam: Žena, kterouž jsi mi dal, aby byla se mnou, ona mi dala z stromu toho, a jedl jsem.

13 I řekl Hospodin Bůh ženě: Což jsi to učinila? I řekla žena: Had mne podvedl, i jedla jsem.

14 Tedy řekl Hospodin Bůh hadu: Že jsi to učinil, zlořečený budeš nade všecka hovada a nade všecky živočichy polní; po břiše svém plaziti se budeš, a prach žráti budeš po všecky dny života svého.

15 Nad to, nepřátelství položím mezi tebou a mezi ženou, i mezi semenem tvým a semenem jejím; ono potře tobě hlavu, a ty potřeš jemu patu.

16 Ženě pak řekl: Velice rozmnožím bolesti tvé a počínání tvá, s bolestí roditi budeš děti, a pod mocí muže tvého bude žádost tvá, a on panovati bude nad tebou.

17 Adamovi také řekl: Že jsi uposlechl hlasu ženy své, a jedl jsi z stromu toho, kterýžť jsem zapověděl, řka: Nebudeš jísti z něho; zlořečená země pro tebe, s bolestí jísti budeš z ní po všecky dny života svého.

18 Trní a bodláčí tobě ploditi bude, i budeš jísti byliny polní.

19 V potu tváři své chléb jísti budeš, dokavadž se nenavrátíš do země, poněvadž jsi z ní vzat. Nebo prach jsi a v prach se navrátíš.

20 Dal pak byl Adam jméno ženě své Eva, proto že ona byla mátě všech živých.

21 I zdělal Hospodin Bůh Adamovi a ženě jeho oděv kožený, a přioděl je.

22 Tedy řekl Hospodin Bůh: Aj, člověk učiněn jest jako jeden z nás, věda dobré i zlé; pročež nyní, aby nevztáhl ruky své, a nevzal také z stromu života, a jedl by, i byl by živ na věky, vyžeňme jej.

23 I vypustil jej Hospodin Bůh z zahrady Eden, aby dělal zemi, z níž vzat byl.

24 A tak vyhnal člověka a osadil zahradu Eden cherubíny k východní straně s mečem plamenným blýskajícím se, aby ostříhali cesty k stromu života.

Exploring the Meaning of Genesis 3

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 190. The third state of the Most Ancient Church is treated of, which so desired its Own as to love it.

AC 191. Because from the love of self, that is, their own love, they began to believe nothing that they did not apprehend by the senses, the sensuous part is represented by the "serpent;" the love of self, or their own love, by the "woman;" and the rational by the "man."

AC 192. Hence the "serpent," or sensuous part, persuaded the woman to inquire into matters pertaining to faith in the Lord in order to see whether they are really so, which is signified by "eating of the tree of knowledge;" and that the rational of man consented, is signified by "the man that he did eat" (verses 1-6).

AC 193. But they perceived that they were in evil; from which remnant of perception, signified by their "eyes being opened," and by their "hearing the voice of Jehovah" (verses 7, 8), and from the fig-leaves of which they made themselves girdles (verse 7), and from their shame or hiding in the midst of the tree of the garden (verses 8, 9), as well as from their acknowledgment and confession (verses 10-13), it is evident that natural goodness still remained in them.

AC 234. The subsequent state of the church down to the flood is here described; and as at that time the church utterly destroyed itself, it is foretold that the Lord would come into the world and save the human race.

AC 235. Being unwilling to believe anything that could not be apprehended by the senses, the sensuous part which is the "serpent," cursed itself, and became infernal (verse 14).

AC 236. Therefore to prevent all mankind from rushing into hell, the Lord promised that He would come into the world (verse 15).

AC 237. The church is further described by the "woman," which so loved self or the Own as to be no longer capable of apprehending truth, although a rational was given them that should "rule" (verse 16).

AC 238. The quality of the rational is then described, in that it consented, and thus cursed itself, and became infernal, so that reason no longer remained, but ratiocination (verse 17).

AC 239. The curse and vastation are described, and also their ferine nature (verse 18).

AC 240. Next, their aversion to everything of faith and love; and that thus from being man they became not men (verse 19).

AC 280. The Most Ancient Church, and those who fell away, are here summarily treated of; thus also its posterity down to the flood, when it expired.

AC 281. Of the Most Ancient Church which was celestial, and from the life of faith in the Lord, called "Eve," and the "mother of all living" (verse 20).

AC 282. Of its first posterity, in which there was celestial spiritual good; and of its second and third, in which there was natural good, signified by the "coat of skin which Jehovah God made for the man and his wife" (verse 21).

AC 283. Of the fourth posterity, in which natural good began to be dissipated, and which, had they been created anew or instructed in the celestial things of faith, would have perished, which is meant by, "Lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of lives, and eat, and live to eternity" (verse 22).

AC 284. Of the fifth posterity, which was deprived of all good and truth, and was reduced to the state in which they had been previous to regeneration, which is meant by his being "sent forth out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken" (verse 23).

AC 285. Of the sixth and seventh posterities, in that they were deprived of all memory-knowledge (scientia) of what is good and true, and were left to their own filthy loves and persuasions; this being provided lest they should profane the holy things of faith,-which is signified by his being "driven out, and cherubim being made to dwell at the garden, with the flame of a sword, to keep the way of the tree of lives" (verse 24).

235. Because people were no longer willing to believe anything unless they apprehended it with the senses, the sensory part, which is the serpent, brought a curse upon itself and became hellish, verse 14.
