Studie

   

1 Dette er Noas Sønner, Sem, Kam og Jafets Slægtebog. Efter Vandfloden fødtes der dem Sønner.

2 Jafets Sønner: Gomer, Magog. Madaj, Javan, Tubal, Mesjek og Tiras.

3 Gomers Sønner: Asjkenaz, ifaf og Togarma.

4 Javans Sønner: Elisja, Tarsis. Kittæerne og odosboerne;

5 fra dem nedstammer de fjerne Strandes Folk. Det var Jafets Sønner i deres Lande, hver med sit Tungemål, efter deres Slægter og i deres Folkeslag.

6 Kams Sønner: Kusj, Mlizrajim, Put og Hana'an.

7 Kusj's Sønner: Seba, Havila, Sabta, a'ma og Sabteka. a'mas Sønner: Saba og Dedan.

8 Og Kusj avlede Nimrod, som var den første Storhersker på Jorden.

9 Han var en vældig Jæger for HE ENs Øjne; derfor siger man: "En vældig Jæget for HE ENs Øjne som Nimrod."

10 Fra først af omfattede hans ige Babel, Erelk, Akkad og Kalne i Sinear;

11 fra dette Land drog han til Assyrien og byggede Nineve, ehobot- Ir, Kela

12 og esen mellem Nineve og Kela, det er den store By.

13 Mizrajim avlede Luderne,Anamerne, Lehaberne, Naftuherne,

14 Patruserne, Kasluherne, fra hvem Filisterne udgik, og Kaftorerne.

15 Kana'an avlede Zidon, hans førstefødte, Het,

16 Jebusiterne, Amoriterne, Girgasjiterne,

17 Hivviterne, Arkiterne, Siniterne,

18 Arvaditerne, Zemariterne og Hamatiterne; men senere bredte Kana'anæernes Slægter sig,

19 så at Kana'anæernes Område strakte sig fra Zidon i etning af Gerar indtil Gaza, i etning af Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma,og Zebojim indtil Lasja.

20 Det var Kams Sønner efter deres Slægter og Tungemål i deres Lande og Folk.

21 Men også Sem, alle Ebersønnernes Fader, Jafets ældste Broder, fødtes der Sønner.

22 Sems Sønner: Elam, Assur, Arpaksjad, Lud og Aram.

23 Arams Sønner: Uz, Hul, Geter og Masj.

24 Arpaksjad avlede Sjela; Sjela avlede Eber;

25 Eber fødtes der to Sønner; den ene hed Peleg, thi på hans Tid adsplittedes Jordens Befolkning, og hans Broder hed Joktan.

26 Joktan avlede Almodad, Sjelef, Hazarmavet, Jera,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,

28 Obal, Abimael, Saba,

29 Ofir, Havila og Jobab. Alle disse var Joktans Sønner,

30 og deres Bosteder strækker sig fra Mesja i etning af Sefar, Østens Bjerge.

31 Det var Sems Sønner efter deres Slægter og Tungemål i deres Lande og Folk.

32 Det var Noas Sønners Slægter efter deres Nedstamning, i deres Folk; fra dem nedstammer Folkene, som efter Vandfloden bredte sig på Jorden.

1241. As to Eber being the first institutor of the second Ancient Church, by whom this church is signified, the case is this. The first Ancient Church, so widely spread as has been stated, especially through the Asiatic world, in process of time degenerated-as is usual with all churches everywhere-and was adulterated by innovators, as to both its external and its internal worship, and this in various places; and especially by the fact that all things significative and representative which the Ancient Church had from the mouth of the Most Ancient Church-which all bore reference to the Lord and His Kingdom-were turned into things idolatrous, and by some of the nations into things magical. That the whole church might not go to ruin, it was permitted by the Lord that significative and representative worship should be somewhere reestablished, which was done by Eber. This worship consisted chiefly in externals. The externals of worship, in addition to the priestly offices and what pertained to them, were high places, groves, statues, anointings, and many other things called statutes. The internals of worship were doctrinal things handed down from the time before the flood, especially from those who were called “Enoch,” who collected the perceptive findings of the Most Ancient Church, and made doctrinal things therefrom. These were their Word; and from these internals and those externals came the worship of this church, a worship set up anew by Eber, but added to, and also changed. Especially did they begin to exalt sacrifices above other rites. In the true Ancient Church sacrifices had been unknown, except among some of the descendants of Ham and Canaan, who were idolaters, and with whom they were permitted to prevent them from sacrificing their sons and daughters. From all this the quality of this second Ancient Church, instituted by Eber and continued among his posterity who were called the Hebrew nation, is manifest.
