Genezo 6

Studie

   

1 Kaj kiam la homoj komencis multigxi sur la tero kaj al ili naskigxis filinoj,

2 tiam la filoj de Dio vidis la filinojn de la homoj, ke ili estas belaj; kaj ili prenis al si edzinojn el cxiuj, kiujn ili elektis.

3 Kaj la Eternulo diris: Ne regos Mia spirito inter la homoj eterne, pro iliaj pekoj, cxar ili estas karno; ilia vivo estu cent dudek jaroj.

4 Gigantoj estis sur la tero en tiu tempo, ecx post kiam la filoj de Dio venis al la filinoj de la homoj kaj cxi tiuj naskis al ili. Tio estis la fortuloj, tre famaj de plej antikva tempo.

5 Kaj la Eternulo vidis, ke granda estas la malboneco de la homoj sur la tero kaj ke cxiuj pensoj kaj intencoj de iliaj koroj estas nur malbono en cxiu tempo;

6 tiam la Eternulo pentis, ke Li kreis la homon sur la tero, kaj Li afliktigxis en Sia koro.

7 Kaj la Eternulo diris: Mi ekstermos de sur la tero la homon, kiun Mi kreis, de la homo gxis la brutoj, gxis la rampajxoj, kaj gxis la birdoj de la cxielo; cxar Mi pentas, ke Mi ilin kreis.

8 Sed Noa akiris placxon en la okuloj de la Eternulo.

9 Jen estas la historio de Noa: Noa estis homo virta kaj senmakula en sia generacio; kun Dio Noa iradis.

10 Kaj naskigxis al Noa tri filoj: SXem, HXam, kaj Jafet.

11 Kaj la tero malvirtigxis antaux Dio, kaj la tero plenigxis de maljustajxoj.

12 Kaj Dio vidis la teron, ke gxi malvirtigxis, cxar cxiu karno malvirtigis sian vojon sur la tero.

13 Kaj Dio diris al Noa: La fino de cxiu karno venis antaux Min, cxar la tero plenigxis de maljustajxoj per ili, kaj jen Mi pereigos ilin kun la tero.

14 Faru al vi arkeon el ligno gofera; apartajxojn faru en la arkeo, kaj sxmiru gxin per pecxo interne kaj ekstere.

15 Kaj faru gxin tiamaniere: tricent ulnoj estu la longo de la arkeo, kvindek ulnoj gxia largxo, kaj tridek ulnoj gxia alto.

16 Fenestron faru en la arkeo, supre, kun la alto de unu ulno, kaj la pordon de la arkeo vi faros en la flanko; malsupran spacon, duan spacon, kaj trian spacon faru en gxi.

17 Kaj jen Mi venigos akvan diluvon sur la teron, por ekstermi cxiun karnon, kiu havas en si spiriton de vivo sub la cxielo; cxio, kio estas sur la tero, pereos.

18 Kaj Mi starigos Mian interligon kun vi; kaj vi eniros en la arkeon, vi kaj viaj filoj kaj via edzino kaj la edzinoj de viaj filoj kune kun vi.

19 Kaj el cxiuj vivajxoj, el cxiu karno, enkonduku po unu paro el cxiuj en la arkeon, ke ili restu vivaj kun vi; virbesto kaj virinbesto ili estu.

20 El la birdoj laux iliaj specoj, kaj el la brutoj laux iliaj specoj, el cxiuj rampajxoj de la tero laux iliaj specoj, po paro el cxiuj eniru kun vi, por resti vivaj.

21 Kaj vi prenu al vi el cxiuj mangxajxoj, kiuj estas mangxataj, kaj kolektu al vi; kaj gxi estu por vi kaj por ili por mangxi.

22 Kaj Noa tion faris; cxion, kiel Dio al li ordonis, tiel li faris.

710. 'Enter, you and all your house, into the ark' means things that constitute the will. This is clear from what has just been stated. In the previous chapter, which dealt with things of the understanding, verse 18 reads differently, namely 'You shall enter into the ark, you, and your sons, and your wife, and your sons' wives with you'. That 'a house' means the will and what constitutes the will is clear from various places in the Word, as in Jeremiah,

Their houses will be turned over to others, their fields and wives together. Jeremiah 6:11.

Here both 'houses' and 'fields and wives' refers to things of the will. In the same prophet,

Build houses and dwell in them; and plant gardens and eat their fruit. Jeremiah 29:5, 28.

Here 'building and dwelling in houses' has to do with the will, 'planting gardens' with the understanding. The same applies in other places. And frequently 'the house of Jehovah' stands for the Church where love is the chief thing. 'The house of Judah' stands for the celestial Church, 'the house of Israel' for the spiritual Church, because 'a house' means the Church. Consequently the mind of the member of the Church, which has within it things of the will and those of the understanding, that is, of charity and of faith, is meant by 'a house'.

Genesis 40

Studie

   

1 It happened after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

2 Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

3 He put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.

4 The captain of the guard assigned them to Joseph, and he took care of them. They stayed in prison many days.

5 They both dreamed a dream, each man his dream, in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were bound in the prison.

6 Joseph came in to them in the morning, and saw them, and saw that they were sad.

7 He asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, saying, "Why do you look so sad today?"

8 They said to him, "We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it." Joseph said to them, "Don't interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me."

9 The chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, a vine was in front of me,

10 and in the vine were three branches. It was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

11 Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand."

12 Joseph said to him, "This is its interpretation: the three branches are three days.

13 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head, and restore you to your office. You will give Pharaoh's cup into his hand, the way you did when you were his cupbearer.

14 But remember me when it will be well with you, and please show kindness to me, and make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

15 For indeed, I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon."

16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, "I also was in my dream, and behold, three baskets of white bread were on my head.

17 In the uppermost basket there was all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head."

18 Joseph answered, "This is its interpretation. The three baskets are three days.

19 Within three more days, Pharaoh will lift up your head from off you, and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh from off you."

20 It happened the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants, and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

21 He restored the chief cupbearer to his position again, and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand;

22 but he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

23 Yet the chief cupbearer didn't remember Joseph, but forgot him.
