Genesis 6

Studie

   

1 Ja kui inimesi hakkas maa peal palju saama ja neile sündis tütreid,

4 Sel ajal, ja veel pärastpoolegi, kui Jumala pojad heitsid inimeste tütarde juurde ja need neile lapsi ilmale tõid, olid hiiglased maa peal: needsamad vägimehed, kes muistsest ajast on kuulsad mehed.

6 siis Issand kahetses, et ta inimese oli teinud maa peale, ja ta süda valutas.

7 Ja Issand ütles: 'Ma tahan inimese, kelle ma olen loonud, maa pealt kaotada, niihästi inimesed kui loomad ja roomajad ja taeva linnud, sest ma kahetsen, et ma nad olen teinud!'

8 Aga Noa leidis armu Issanda silmis.

9 See on jutustus Noa soost: Noa oli üks õige mees, täiesti vaga oma rahvapõlve seas; Noa kõndis koos Jumalaga.

10 Ja Noale sündis kolm poega - Seem, Haam ja Jaafet.

11 Aga maa oli Jumala palge ees raisku läinud ja vägivald täitis maad.

12 Ja Jumal vaatas maad, ja näe, see oli raisku läinud, sest kõik liha maa peal oli oma eluviisides raiskunud.

13 Ja Jumal ütles Noale: 'Ma olen otsustanud teha lõpu kõigele lihale, sest maa on täis nende vägivalda, ja seepärast, vaata, ma hävitan nemad koos maaga.

14 Tee enesele laev goferipuust; laev tee kambritega ja pigita seda seest ning väljast maapigiga!

15 Ja tee see nõndaviisi: laeva pikkus olgu kolmsada küünart, laius viiskümmend küünart ja kõrgus kolmkümmend küünart;

16 valmista see küünramõõdu järgi; tee laevale katus peale ja tee uks laeva küljesse; tee sellele alumine, keskmine ja ülemine lagi!

17 Sest vaata, ma saadan veeuputuse maa peale ja hävitan taeva alt kõik liha, kus eluvaim sees on; kõik, mis maa peal on, peab hinge heitma!

18 Aga sinuga ma teen lepingu ja sina pead minema laeva, sina ja su pojad, su naine ja su poegade naised sinuga.

19 Ja sa pead viima laeva kõigist elavaist olendeist, kõigest lihast, igast liigist kaks, et nad koos sinuga jääksid elama: need olgu isane ja emane.

20 Lindudest nende liikide järgi ja loomadest nende liikide järgi, kõigist roomajaist maa peal nende liikide järgi, kõigist peavad kaks tulema sinu juurde, et nad võiksid jääda elama.

21 Ja sina võta enesele kõigest roast, mida süüakse, ja kogu enese juurde, et see oleks toiduks sinule ja neile.'

22 Ja Noa tegi kõik. Nii nagu Jumal teda käskis, nõnda ta tegi.

683. As regards the use twice of the verb 'did' comprehending both good and truth, it should be recognized that in the Word, especially the Prophets, one matter may be described in two ways, as in Isaiah,

He has passed on in peace, a way He has not gone with His feet. Who has performed and done this? Isaiah 42:3, 4.

Here the first statement has regard to good, the second to truth, that is to say, the first regards things of the will, the second those of the understanding. Thus 'passing on in peace' embodies things of the will, 'a way he did not go with His feet' those of the understanding. The same applies to 'performing' and 'doing'. In the Word things that belong to the will and to the understanding, that is, to love and faith - or what amounts to the same, celestial things and spiritual things - are joined together in such a way that each individual part images a marriage, and answers to the heavenly marriage. The same applies here with the repetition of the same verb.

9167. '[To see] whether or not its owner has put his hand into his companion's property and taken it' means being joined together under [the influence of] good. This is clear from the meaning of 'whether or not he has put a hand into his companion's property' - when said in reference to truth and good, exterior and interior - as whether these have entered into it, dealt with above in 9155, thus whether those things have been joined together under [the influence of] good (as regards being joined together under [the influence of] good, see 9154); and from the meaning of 'owner' or 'master' as good, dealt with in 9154, so that 'whether or not its owner has taken it' means whether good has made those things its own by being joined to them. The reason why 'owner' means good is that with a spiritual person good occupies the first place and truth the second; and that which occupies first place is the owner. Furthermore the character of the good determines the way in which all the truths present with a person are arranged, as a house by the owner or 'lord'. 1

[2] This explains why 'lord' in the Word is used to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Good, and 'god', 'king', and 'master' to mean the Lord in respect of Divine Truth, as in Moses,

Jehovah your God, He is God of gods, and Lord of lords. Deuteronomy 10:17.

In John,

The Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings. Revelation 17:14.

In the same book,

He has on His robe and on His thigh the name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. Revelation 19:16.

The fact that the Lord is called 'God' in respect of Divine Truth, see 2586, 2769, 2807, 2822, 4402, 7268, 8988, and also that He is called 'King' in respect of Divine Truth, 2015 (end), 3009, 3670, 4581, 4966, 5068, 6148. And from this it is evident that the Lord is called 'Lord' in respect of Divine Good; for when truth is referred to in the Word, good as well is referred to, 683, 793, 801, 2516, 2618, 2712, 2803, 3004, 4138 (end), 5138, 5502, 6343, 8339 (end). In John,

You call Me Master and Lord, and you are right, for so I am. I your Lord and Master have washed your feet. John 13:13-14.

Here again the Lord is called 'Lord' by virtue of Divine Good, and 'Master' by virtue of Divine Truth. In Malachi,

Suddenly there will come to His temple the Lord whom you are seeking, and the angel of the covenant in whom you delight. Malachi 3:1.

In these words which refer to the Lord's Coming He is called 'the Lord' by virtue of Divine Good, and 'the angel' by virtue of Divine Truth, 1925, 2821, 3039, 4085, 4295, 6280.

[3] This explains why in the Old Testament when people entreat the Lord they very often say Lord Jehovih, by which 'O Good Jehovah' is meant, 1793, 2921, and why in the New Testament the name Lord is used instead of Jehovah, 2921. From all this one can also see what the following words in Matthew are used to mean,

No one can serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other ... Matthew 6:24.

'Two lords' are good and evil. For a person must be governed by good or else by evil; he cannot be governed by both simultaneously. Many truths can reside with him, but they are truths arranged under the influence of one good. Good constitutes heaven with a person, whereas evil constitutes hell. He must have heaven within himself or hell, not both, or something half-way in between. All this now shows what 'lord' or 'owner' is used to mean in the Word.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The Latin word rendered owner is dominus, which in other contexts is usually rendered lord. The phrase also involves a play on words which might be rendered as a house by a householder (sicut a domino domus).
