Genesis 5

Studie

   

1 Tato jest kniha rodů Adamových. V ten den, v kterémž stvořil Bůh člověka, ku podobenství Božímu učinil ho.

2 Muže a ženu stvořil je a požehnal jim, a nazval jméno jejich Adam v ten den, když stvořeni jsou.

3 Byl pak Adam ve stu a třidcíti letech, když zplodil syna ku podobenství svému a k obrazu svému, a nazval jméno jeho Set.

4 I bylo dnů Adamových po zplození Seta osm set let, a plodil syny a dcery.

5 A tak bylo všech dnů Adamových, v kterýchž byl živ, devět set a třidceti let, i umřel.

6 Set pak byl ve stu a pěti letech, když zplodil Enosa.

7 A po zplození Enosa živ byl Set osm set a sedm let, a plodil syny a dcery.

8 I bylo všech dnů Setových devět set a dvanácte let, i umřel.

9 Byl pak Enos v devadesáti letech, když zplodil Kainana.

10 A po zplození Kainana živ byl Enos osm set a patnácte let, a plodil syny a dcery.

11 I bylo všech dnů Enosových devět set a pět let, i umřel.

12 Kainan pak byl v sedmdesáti letech, když zplodil Mahalaleele.

13 A po zplození Mahalaleele živ byl Kainan osm set a čtyřidceti let, a plodil syny a dcery.

14 I bylo všech dnů Kainanových devět set a deset let, i umřel.

15 Mahalaleel pak byl v šedesáti a pěti letech, když zplodil Járeda.

16 A po zplození Járeda živ byl Mahalaleel osm set a třidceti let, a plodil syny a dcery.

17 I bylo všech dnů Mahalaleelových osm set devadesáte a pět let, i umřel.

18 Járed pak byl ve stu šedesáti a dvou letech, když zplodil Enocha.

19 A po zplození Enocha živ byl Járed osm set let, a plodil syny a dcery.

20 I bylo všech dnů Járedových devět set šedesáte a dvě létě, i umřel.

21 Enoch pak byl v šedesáti a pěti letech, když zplodil Matuzaléma.

22 A chodil Enoch stále s Bohem po zplození Matuzaléma tři sta let, a plodil syny a dcery.

23 I bylo všech dnů Enochových tři sta šedesáte a pět let.

24 A chodil Enoch stále s Bohem a nebyl více vidín; nebo vzal ho Bůh.

25 Matuzalém pak byl ve stu osmdesáti sedmi letech, když zplodil Lámecha.

26 A po zplození Lámecha živ byl Matuzalém sedm set osmdesáte a dvě létě, a plodil syny a dcery.

27 I bylo všech dnů Matuzalémových devět set šedesáte a devět let, i umřel.

28 Lámech pak byl ve stu osmdesáti a dvou letech, když zplodil syna,

29 Jehož jméno nazval Noé, řka: Tento nám odpočinutí způsobí od díla našeho,od práce rukou našich, kterouž máme s zemí, jížto zlořečil Hospodin.

30 A živ byl Lámech potom, když zplodil Noé, pět set devadesáte a pět let, a plodil syny a dcery.

31 I bylo všech dnů Lámechových sedm set sedmdesáte a sedm let, i umřel.

32 A když byl Noé v pěti stech letech, zplodil Sema, Chama a Jáfeta.

5999. Libraries in heaven

I was admitted into a Library where there were a great number of books. The books there were not shown to me, but [people] spoke with me. They said that were books there from the ancients, written using correspondences. Deeper within other Libraries were books written by those who were from the ancient Churches; and still more deeply within, books [written] for the most ancient, from whom the community called Enoch had collected the correspondences that were afterwards of service to those who were in succeeding Churches, which will be called the ancient Churches. There was an enormous number who studied the books, and some of them become learned, many intelligent, and others wise. Places, that is to say, repositories, for use in Libraries for deeper matters appeared in brighter and brighter light, but in a dimmer light to me and to them because we were not capable of penetrating the matters of wisdom that are there; and besides, for various reasons permission to enter is not given those who are taken up with outward things. The places there were divided into many [sections], according to the propensities of those who studied there.

[2] There are also Libraries elsewhere in the heavens, but not public ones as in that place. In the heavens those who are studious have communication with those in these Libraries for the public and receive information from them in regard to matters in question.

[3] On the left at a distance there are also Libraries, divided likewise into repositories. There are a great number, corresponding to the various branches of study and the learning in them. Those who pursue theological matters study their own doctrinal teachings; nevertheless from there they are led to accepting doctrinal teaching in other ways, for they are gradually bent to what is truer. But most do not come to the level of understanding, but rather to the level called knowing, which they themselves also admit.

[4] At the side there are those who don't study in such a way that they become intelligent and wise through study but base their thinking on what they have drawn from objects and from the sciences and are not interested in reading books, and choose to read books that are of service merely to the memory, such as lexicons and collections of information that are of use to the memory alone. They are given the ability to think, and it is given to them by the Lord to comprehend what things mean and to arrive at a conclusion regarding many things that are matters of understanding. The reason is that they do not have a memory like that of others, but instead of this they have thought. Etc. etc.

[5] Those from the present day were examined as to whether they could comprehend and so believe that there are books and Libraries in the spiritual world, and scarcely any of the learned was able.

It was said that they have there very many things from the ancients regarding correspondences, and explanations of the Word through its inner meaning; and also that the most ancient sages were in the innermost rooms there.
