1 Mose 10

Studie

   

1 Und dies sind die Geschlechter der Söhne Noahs, Sem, Ham und Japhet: es wurden ihnen Söhne geboren nach der Flut.

2 Die Söhne Japhets: Gomer und Magog und Madai und Jawan und Tubal und Mesech und Tiras.

3 Und die Söhne Gomers: Askenas und Riphat und Togarma.

4 Und die Söhne Jawans: Elisa und Tarsis, die Kittim und die Dodanim.

5 Von diesen aus verteilten sich die Bewohner der Inseln der Nationen in ihren Ländern, eine jede nach ihrer Sprache, nach ihren Familien, in ihren Nationen.

6 Und die Söhne Hams: Kusch und Mizraim und Put und Kanaan.

7 Und die Söhne Kuschs: Seba und Hawila und Sabta und Raghma und Sabteka. Und die Söhne Raghmas: Scheba und Dedan.

8 Und Kusch zeugte Nimrod; der fing an, ein Gewaltiger zu sein auf der Erde.

9 Er war ein gewaltiger Jäger vor Jehova; darum sagt man: Wie Nimrod, ein gewaltiger Jäger vor Jehova!

10 Und der Anfang seines Reiches war Babel und Erek und Akkad und Kalne im Lande Sinear.

11 Von diesem Lande zog er aus nach Assur und baute Ninive und Rechobot-Ir und Kalach,

12 und Resen zwischen Ninive und Kalach: das ist die große Stadt. -

13 Und Mizraim zeugte die Ludim und die Anamim und die Lehabim und die Naphtuchim

14 und die Pathrusim und die Kasluchim (von welchen die Philister ausgegangen sind,) und die Kaphtorim.

15 Und Kanaan zeugte Zidon, seinen Erstgeborenen, und Heth,

16 und den Jebusiter und den Amoriter und den Girgasiter,

17 und den Hewiter und den Arkiter und den Siniter,

18 und den Arwaditer und den Zemariter und den Hamathiter. Und nachher haben sich die Familien der Kanaaniter zerstreut.

19 Und das Gebiet der Kanaaniter erstreckte sich von Zidon nach Gerar hin, bis Gasa; nach Sodom und Gomorra und Adama und Zeboim hin, bis Lescha. -

20 Das sind die Söhne Hams nach ihren Familien, nach ihren Sprachen, in ihren Ländern, in ihren Nationen.

21 Und dem Sem, dem Vater aller Söhne Hebers, dem Bruder Japhets, des ältesten, auch ihm wurden Söhne geboren.

22 Die Söhne Sems: Elam und Assur und Arpaksad und Lud und Aram.

23 Und die Söhne Arams: Uz und Hul und Gether und Masch.

24 Und Arpaksad zeugte Schelach, und Schelach zeugte Heber.

25 Und dem Heber wurden zwei Söhne geboren: der Name des einen war Peleg, denn in seinen Tagen wurde die Erde verteilt; und der Name seines Bruders war Joktan.

26 Und Joktan zeugte Almodad und Scheleph und Hazarmaweth und Jerach

27 und Hadoram und Usal und Dikla

28 und Obal und Abimael und Scheba

29 und Ophir und Hawila und Jobab; diese alle waren Söhne Joktans.

30 Und ihr Wohnsitz war von Meschar nach Sephar hin, dem Gebirge des Ostens. -

31 Das sind die Söhne Sems nach ihren Familien, nach ihren Sprachen, in ihren Ländern, nach ihren Nationen.

32 Das sind die Familien der Söhne Noahs nach ihren Geschlechtern, in ihren Nationen; und von diesen aus haben sich nach der Flut die Nationen auf der Erde verteilt.

1005. That 'requiring your blood with your souls' means that violence done to charity will punish itself, 'blood' meaning violence, and 'souls' people who do violence, is clear from what comes before and after, and also from the meaning of 'blood' in the contrary sense, as well as from the meaning of 'soul' in the contrary sense. First from what comes before in the previous verse referring to the eating of blood, which, as shown, meant profanation, and from what comes after in the next verse referring to the shedding of blood, it is consequently clear that the subject here is the state and the punishment of one who mixes holy things with unholy. It is further clear from the meaning of 'blood' in the contrary sense, in that 'blood' in the genuine sense means that which is celestial and in reference to a regenerate spiritual person means charity - which constitutes the celestial in his case - but in the contrary sense means violence done to charity, and therefore that which is contrary to charity, namely all hatred, all revenge, all cruelty, and especially profanation, as becomes clear from the places in the Word that are quoted in 374, 376. Finally it is clear from the meaning of 'soul' in the contrary sense, in that in the Word 'soul' means life, in general, and so everybody who lives, but also means, since a person's life is by nature what he himself is, any individual who does violence. This may be confirmed from many parts of the Word, but for the moment let solely the following from Moses do so,

He who eats blood, I will set My face 1 against the soul eating blood, and I will cut him off from among his people, for the soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it upon the altar, to make atonement for your souls, for the blood itself will make atonement by reason of the soul. Leviticus 17:10-11, 14.

Here 'soul' stands for life in three different senses, as it does many times elsewhere. The fact that violence done to charity will punish itself will be clear from what follows.

Genesis 9

Studie

   

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

5 I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

7 Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

17 God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

26 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
