Genesis 22

Studie

   

1 Efter disse Begivenheder satte Gud Abraham på Prøve og sagde til ham: "Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"

2 Da sagde han: "Tag din Søn Isak, din eneste, ham, du elsker, og drag hen til Morija Land.og bring ham der som Brændoffer på et af Bjergene, som jeg vil vise dig!"

3 Da sadlede Abraham tidligt næste Morgen sit Æsel, tog to af sine Drenge og sin Søn Isak med sig, og efter at have kløvet Offerbrænde gav han sig på Vandring; til det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham.

4 Da Abraham den tredje Dag så. op, fik han Øje på Stedet langt borte.

5 sagde Abraham til sine Drenge: "Bliv her med Æselet, medens jeg og Drengen vandrer der. hen for at tilbede; så kommer vi tilbage til eder."

6 Abraham tog da Brændet til Brændofferet og lagde,det på sin Søn Isak; selv tog han Ilden og Offerkniven, og så gik de to sammen.

7 Da sagde Isak til sin Fader Abraham: "Fader!" Han svarede: "Ja. min Søn!" Da sagde han: "Her er Ilden og Brændet, men hvor er Dyret til Brændofferet?"

8 Abraham svarede: "Gud vil selv udse sig Dyret til Brændofferet, min Søn!" Og så gik de to sammen.

9 Da de nåede det Sted, Gud havde sagt ham, byggede Abraham der et Alter og lagde Brændet til ette; så bandt han sin Søn Isak og lagde ham på Alteret oven på Brændet.

10 Og Abraham greb Kniven og rakte Hånden ud for at slagte sin Søn.

11 Da råbte HE ENs Engel til ham fra Himmelen: "Abraham, Abraham!" Han svarede: "Se, her er jeg!"

12 Da sagde Engelen: " æk ikke din Hånd ud mod Drengen og gør ham ikke noget; thi nu ved jeg, at du frygter Gud og end ikke sparer din Søn, din eneste, for mig!"

13 Og da Abraham nu så op, fik han bag ved sig Øje på en Væder, hvis Horn havde viklet sig ind i de tætte Grene; og Abraham gik hen og tog Væderen og ofrede den som Brændoffer i sin Søns Sted.

14 Derfor kaldte Abraham dette Sted: HE EN udser sig, eller, som man nu til dags siger: Bjerget, hvor HE EN viser sig.

15 Men HE ENs Engel råbte atter til Abraham fra Himmelen:

16 "Jeg sværger ved mig selv, lyder det fra HE EN: Fordi du har gjort dette og ikke sparet din Søn, din eneste, for mig,

17 så vil jeg velsigne dig og gøre dit Afkom talrigt som Himmelens Stjerner og Sandet ved Havets Bred; og dit Afkom skal tage sine Fjenders Porte i Besiddelse;

18 og i din Sæd skal alle Jordens Folk velsignes, fordi du adlød mig!"

19 Derpå vendte Abraham tilbage til sine Drenge, og de brød op og tog sammen til Be'ersjeba. Og Abraham blev i Be'ersjeba.

20 Efter disse Begivenheder meldte man Abraham: "Også Milka har født din Broder Nakor Sønner:

21 Uz, hans førstefødte, dennes Broder Buz, Kemuel, Arams Fader,

22 Kesed, Hazo, Pildasj, Jidlaf og Betuel;

23 Betuel avlede ebekka; disse otte har Milka født Abrahams Broder Nakor,

24 og desuden har hans Medhustru e'uma født Teba, Gaham, Tahasj og Ma'aka."

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 2764. In this chapter in the internal sense the Lord’s most grievous and inmost temptations are treated of, by which He united His Human Essence to His Divine Essence; and also the salvation by this union of those who constitute the Lord‘s spiritual church.

AC 2765. The Lord’s most grievous and inmost temptations are treated of (verses 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11). Concerning the unition of His Human Essence with His Divine Essence, or His glorification, by means of them (verses 2, 11, 12, 16). Concerning the salvation by the Lords Divine Human of the spiritual, of those who are in charity and faith, within the church (verses 2, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). And concerning the salvation of those who are in good, outside the church (verses 20, 21, 22, 23, 24).

2764. Genesis 22

1. And so it was after these events, that God tempted Abraham, and said to him, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

2. And He said, Take now your son, your only one, whom you love, Isaac, and get you to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I tell you.

3. And in the morning Abraham rose up early, and saddled his ass, and took two of his servants 1 with him, and Isaac his son, and split the pieces of wood for the burnt offering, and rose up and went to the place of which God had told him.

4. On the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from afar off.

5. And Abraham said to his servants, Remain here with the ass, and I and the boy will go over there, and we will bow ourselves down, and return to you.

6. And Abraham took the pieces of wood for the burnt offering and laid them on Isaac his son; and he took in his hand the fire and the knife, and the two of them went on together.

7. And Isaac said to Abraham his father - he said - My father. And he said, Here I am, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the pieces of wood, but where is the animal for the burnt offering?

8. And Abraham said, God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son. And the two of them went on together.

9. And they came to the place of which God told him, and Abraham built the altar there, and laid the pieces of wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, upon the pieces of wood.

10. And Abraham put forth his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

11. And the angel of Jehovah called to him out of heaven, and said Abraham, Abraham. And he said, Here I am.

12. And he said, Do not put forth your hand towards the boy and do not do anything to him, for now I know that you fear God and have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.

13. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw, and behold, a ram behind [him] caught in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a burnt offering instead of his son.

14. And Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah will see; as it is said today, On the mountain Jehovah will see [to it].

15. And the angel of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of heaven.

16. And he said, By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, that because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son,

17. I will certainly bless you, and I will certainly multiply your seed like the stars of the heavens and like the sand which is on the seashore. And your seed will inherit the gate of their 2 enemies.

18. And in your seed all the nations of the earth will be blessed because you have hearkened to My voice.

19. And Abraham returned to his servants, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt in Beersheba.

20. And so it was, after these events, 3 that it was pointed out to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milkah, she also has borne sons, to Nahor your brother:

21. Uz her firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram;

22. And Kesed, and Hazo, and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

23. And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

24. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah; and she too bore Tebah, and Gaham, and Tahash, and Maakah.

CONTENTS

The subject in this chapter in the internal sense is the Lord's severest and inmost temptations, by means of which He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence; then it is the salvation by means of that union of those who constitute the Lord's spiritual Church.
