Genesis 6

Studie

   

1 Stalo se pak, když se počali množiti lidé na zemi, a dcery se jim zrodily,

2 Že vidouce synové Boží dcery lidské, any krásné jsou, brali sobě ženy ze všech, kteréž oblibovali.

3 Pročež řekl Hospodin: Nebude se nesnaditi duch můj s člověkem na věky, proto že také tělo jest, a bude dnů jeho sto a dvadceti let.

4 Obrové pak byli na zemi v těch dnech; ano i potom, když vcházeli synové Boží k dcerám lidským, ony rodily jim. To jsou ti mocní, kteříž zdávna byli, muži na slovo vzatí.

5 Ale když viděl Hospodin, an se rozmnožuje zlost lidská na zemi, a že by všeliké myšlení srdce jejich nebylo než zlé po všecken čas,

6 Litoval Hospodin, že učinil člověka na zemi, a bolest měl v srdci svém.

7 Tedy řekl Hospodin: Vyhladím z země člověka, kteréhož jsem stvořil, od člověka až do hovada, až do zeměplazu, až i do ptactva nebeského; nebo líto mi, že jsem je učinil.

8 Ale Noé našel milost před Hospodinem.

9 Tito jsou příběhové Noé: Noé muž spravedlivý, dokonalý byl za svého věku, s Bohem ustavičně chodil Noé.

10 (Zplodil pak Noé tři syny: Sema, Chama a Jáfeta.)

11 Ale země byla porušena před Bohem, a naplněna byla země nepravostí.

12 Viděl tedy Bůh zemi, a aj, porušena byla, nebo bylo porušilo všeliké tělo cestu svou na zemi.

13 Protož řekl Bůh k Noé: Konec všelikého těla přichází přede mne, nebo naplněna jest země nepravostí od nich; z té příčiny, hle, již zkazím je s zemí.

14 Učiň sobě koráb z dříví gofer; příhrady zděláš v tom korábu, a oklejuješ jej vnitř i zevnitř klím.

15 A na tento způsob uděláš jej: Tří set loktů bude dlouhost toho korábu, padesáti loktů širokost jeho a třidceti loktů vysokost jeho.

16 Okno uděláš v korábu, a svrchkem na loket vysokým zavřeš jej; dvéře také korábu v boku jeho postavíš, a pokoje spodní, druhé i třetí zděláš v něm.

17 Já pak, aj, já uvedu potopu vod na zemi, aby zkaženo bylo všeliké tělo, v němž jest duch života pod nebem. Cožkoli bude na zemi, umře.

18 S tebou však učiním smlouvu svou; a vejdeš do korábu, ty i synové tvoji, žena tvá i ženy synů tvých s tebou.

19 A ze všech živočichů všelikého těla, po dvém z každého uvedeš do korábu, abys je živé zachoval s sebou; samec a samice budou.

20 Z ptactva podlé pokolení jeho, a z hovad podlé pokolení jejich, ze všelikého také zeměplazu podlé pokolení jeho, po dvém z každého vejdou k tobě, aby živi zůstali.

21 Ty pak nabeř s sebou všeliké potravy, kteráž se jísti může, a shromažď sobě, aby byla tobě i jim ku pokrmu.

22 I učinil Noé podlé všeho, jakž mu rozkázal Bůh, tak učinil.

641. Since this member of the Church needed to be reformed as to that part of the man which is called the understanding before he could be reformed as to the other part referred to as the will, it is described here how those things belonging to the will were separated from those belonging to the understanding, and how the will was so to speak protected and held back to prevent anything coming in contact with it. For if things belonging to the will, that is, to evil desires, had been aroused, he would have perished, as in the Lord's Divine mercy will be made clear later on. With man nothing could be more distinct and separate one from the other than those two parts, the will and the understanding. This I have been given to know plainly, especially from the fact that among spirits and angels things of the understanding flow into the left side of the head or brain, while things of the will flow into the right. The same applies to the face. When angelic spirits flow in they do so as softly as gentlest breezes. But when evil spirits do so it is like a deluge entering with dreadful delusions and persuasions into the left side of the brain, and with desires into the right. The influx of them is so to speak a deluge of delusions and desires.

Genesis 6

Studie

   

1 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them,

2 that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose.

3 Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years."

4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

7 Yahweh said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the surface of the ground; man, along with animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

8 But Noah found favor in Yahweh's eyes.

9 This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

10 Noah became the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

11 The earth was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

12 God saw the earth, and saw that it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

13 God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before me, for the earth is filled with violence through them. Behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

14 Make a ship of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ship, and shall seal it inside and outside with pitch.

15 This is how you shall make it. The length of the ship will be three hundred cubits, its breadth fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

16 You shall make a roof in the ship, and you shall finish it to a cubit upward. You shall set the door of the ship in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

17 I, even I, do bring the flood of waters on this earth, to destroy all flesh having the breath of life from under the sky. Everything that is in the earth will die.

18 But I will establish my covenant with you. You shall come into the ship, you, your sons, your wife, and your sons' wives with you.

19 Of every living thing of all flesh, you shall bring two of every sort into the ship, to keep them alive with you. They shall be male and female.

20 Of the birds after their kind, of the livestock after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every sort shall come to you, to keep them alive.

21 Take with you of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them."

22 Thus Noah did. According to all that God commanded him, so he did.
