Studie

   

1 Ja tapahtui, koska ihmiset rupesivat lisääntymään maan päällä, ja siittivät tyttäriä;

2 Niin Jumalan pojat näkivät ihmisten tyttäret kauniiksi, ja ottivat emänniksensä kaikesta kuin he valitsivat.

3 Silloin sanoi Herra: ei minun henkeni pidä nuhteleman ihmistä (sanan kautta) ijankaikkisesti, sillä hän on liha; sentähden olkoon hänellä aikaa, sata ja kaksikymmentä ajastaikaa.

4 Siihen aikaan olivat sankarit maan päällä: ja myös sitte, kuin Jumalan pojat makasivat ihmisten tytärten kanssa, ja he olivat siittäneet heille (lapsia): nämä olivat valtiaat, ne muinen kuuluisat miehet.

5 Mutta Herra näki ihmisen pahuuden suureksi maan päällä; ja kaikki hänen sydämensä aivoitus ja ajatus oli ainoastansa paha joka aika.

6 Ja Herra katui ihmisen tehneensä maan päälle, ja tuli murheelliseksi sydämessänsä.

7 Ja Herra sanoi: Minä tahdon ihmisen, jonka minä loin, hukuttaa maan päältä, hamasta ihmisestä niin karjaan asti, matoihin ja ja taivaan lintuihin asti; sillä minä kadun, että minä niitä tehnyt olen.

8 Mutta Noa löysi armon Herran edessä.

9 Tämä on Noan sukukunta: Noa oli hurskas ja vakaa mies ajallansa, ja eli jumalisesti:

10 Ja siitti kolme poikaa, Semin, Hamin ja Japhetin.

11 Mutta maa oli turmeltu Jumalan kasvoin edessä, ja täynnänsä väkivaltaa.

12 Silloin katsahti Jumala maan päälle, ja katso, se oli turmeltu: sillä kaikki liha oli turmellut tiensä maan päällä.

13 Ja Jumala sanoi Noalle: kaiken lihan loppu on minun eteeni tullut: sillä maa on heistä täynnänsä väkivaltaa, ja katso, minä hukutan heitä ynnä maan kanssa.

14 Tee sinulles arkki hongasta, ja tee sisälle olinsijat, ja tervaa se sisältä ja ulkoa.

15 Ja tee häntä näin: Kolmesataa kyynärää pitää oleman arkin pituuden, viisikymmentä kyynärää hänen leveytensä ja kolmekymmentä kyynärää korkeutensa.

16 Arkin akkunan sinun pitää tekemän, ja kyynärällä päättämän sen ylhäältä: Ja arkin oven pitää sinun paneman sivuun. Ja hänellä pitää oleman kolme pohjaa, yksi alinna, toinen keskellä ja kolmas ylinnä.

17 Ja minä, katso, minä annan tulla vedenpaisumuksen maan päälle hukuttamaan kaikkea lihaa, jossa elävä henki on taivaan alla, ja kaikki, mitä maan päällä on, pitää hukkuman.

18 Mutta sinun kanssas minä minun liittoni teen, ja sinun pitää arkkiin sisälle menemän, sinun ja sinun poikas, ja sinun emäntäs, ja poikais emännät sinun kanssas.

19 Ja sinun pitää saattaman arkkiin kaikkinaiset eläimet kaikesta lihasta kaksittain, koiraksen ja naaraksen, jäämään elämään kanssas.

20 Linnuista lajistansa, karjasta lajistansa, kaikkinaisista madoista maan päällä lajistansa. Kaikista näistä pitää kaksittain sinun tykös käymän, jäämän elämään.

21 Ja sinun pitää ottaman tykös kaikkinaista ruokaa, jota syödään, ja kokooman sinun tykös, sinulle ja heille elatukseksi.

22 Ja Noa teki sen: kaikki mitä Jumala hänen käski, niin hän teki.

4454. And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brothers. That this signifies a consultation of the truth from the ancient Divine stock with the good and truth of this religiosity, is evident from the signification of “saying,” as here being to consult; from the representation of Shechem, as being truth from the ancient Divine stock (see above, n. 4447); from the signification of “father,” who here is Jacob, as being the good of truth (n. 4273, 4337); and from the signification of “brothers,” who here are the sons of Jacob, as being truths, of which above. That “Shechem” is truth from the ancient Divine stock is evident from what was adduced above (see n. 4447); for Hamor the Hivite, together with his nation and family, were remains in the land of Canaan of the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial. More than all the churches in the whole world was this church from the Divine, for it was in the good of love to the Lord. Their voluntary and their intellectual made a one, thus one mind, for which reason they had from good a perception of truth, for the Lord flowed in by an internal way into the good of their will, and through this into the good of their understanding, or into their truth; and this is the reason why this church was preeminently called “Man” (n. 477-479), and also a “likeness of God” (n. 51, 473, 1013). Hence it is evident why Hamor and Shechem are said to be from the ancient Divine stock (see also n. 4399). That the Most Ancient Church which was called “Man,” or by the Hebrew word “Adam,” was in the land of Canaan (as stated above, n. 4447), is very evident from their descendants called “Nephilim” (Genesis 6:4), who were said in Numbers 13:33 to have been in the land of Canaan (see n. 581). But at that time all that land was called the “land of Canaan” which extended from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates (Genesis 15:18).

4447. And Hamor spoke with them, saying. That this signifies the good of the Church among the Ancients, is evident from the representation of Hamor, as being what is from the ancients (see n. 4431), that is, the good of the church which was among them. For the good of the church is father, and the derivative truth (“Shechem”) is son; and therefore by “father” in the Word is signified good, and by “son” truth. It is here said “the good of the Church among the Ancients,” but not “the good of the Ancient Church,” for the reason that by the “Church among the Ancients” is meant the church that was derived from the Most Ancient Church which existed before the flood, and by the “Ancient Church” is meant the church that existed after the flood. These two churches have sometimes been treated of in the preceding pages, and it has been shown that the Most Ancient Church which was before the flood was celestial, but the Ancient Church which was after the flood was spiritual, and the difference between them has often been treated of.

[2] The remains of the Most Ancient Church which was celestial still existed in the land of Canaan, especially among those called Hittites and Hivites. The reason why these remains did not exist anywhere else was that the Most Ancient Church called “Man” or “Adam” (n. 478, 479) was in the land of Canaan, and therefore the “garden of Eden,” by which was signified the intelligence and wisdom of the men of that church (n. 100, 1588), and by the trees in it their perception, (n. 103, 2163, 2722, 2972), was in that land. And because intelligence and wisdom were signified by this “garden” or paradise, the church itself was meant by it; and because the church was meant, so also was heaven; and because heaven, so also in the supreme sense, was the Lord; and therefore in this sense the “land of Canaan” itself signifies the Lord, in the relative sense heaven and also the church, and in the individual sense the man of the church (n. 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705); and therefore also the term “land” or “earth” when mentioned alone in the Word has a like signification (n. 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1413, 1607, 3355); the “new heaven and new earth” being a new church in respect to its internal and its external (n. 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355). That the Most Ancient Church was in the land of Canaan may be seen in n. 567; and the result of this was that the places there became representative, and for this reason Abram was commanded to go there, and the land was given to his descendants the sons of Jacob in order that the representatives of the places in accordance with which the Word was to be written, might be retained. (See n. 3686 and that for the same reason all the places there, as well as the mountains and rivers, and all the borders round about, became representative, n. 1585, 1866, 4240.)

[3] All this shows what is here meant by the “Church among the Ancients,” namely, remains from the Most Ancient Church. And as these remains existed among the Hittites and Hivites, therefore Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, together with their wives, obtained a place of burial with the Hittites in their land (Genesis 23:1-20; 49:29-32; 50:13); and Joseph with the Hivites (Josh. 24:32). Hamor the father of Shechem represented the remains of this Church, and therefore by him is signified the good of the Church among the Ancients, and consequently the origin of interior truth from a Divine stock (n. 4399). (What the distinction is between the Most Ancient Church which was before the flood, and the Ancient Church which was after the flood, may be seen above, n. 597, 607, 608, 640, 641, 765, 784, 895, 920, 1114-1128, 1238, 1327, 2896, 2897.)
