1 Mose 11

Studie

   

1 Es hatte aber alle Welt einerlei Zunge und Sprache.

2 Da sie nun zogen gen Morgen, fanden sie ein ebenes Land im Lande Sinear, und wohnten daselbst.

3 Und sie sprachen untereinander: Wohlauf, laß uns Ziegel streichen und brennen! und nahmen Ziegel zu Stein und Erdharz zu Kalk

4 und sprachen: Wohlauf, laßt uns eine Stadt und einen Turm bauen, des Spitze bis an den Himmel reiche, daß wir uns einen Namen machen! denn wir werden sonst zerstreut in alle Länder.

5 Da fuhr der HERR hernieder, daß er sähe die Stadt und den Turm, die die Menschenkinder bauten.

6 Und der HERR sprach: Siehe, es ist einerlei Volk und einerlei Sprache unter ihnen allen, und haben das angefangen zu tun; sie werden nicht ablassen von allem, was sie sich vorgenommen haben zu tun.

7 Wohlauf, laßt uns herniederfahren und ihre Sprache daselbst verwirren, daß keiner des andern Sprache verstehe!

8 Also zerstreute sie der HERR von dort alle Länder, daß sie mußten aufhören die Stadt zu bauen.

9 Daher heißt ihr Name Babel, daß der HERR daselbst verwirrt hatte aller Länder Sprache und sie zerstreut von dort in alle Länder.

10 Dies sind die Geschlechter Sems: Sem war hundert Jahre alt und zeugte Arphachsad, zwei Jahre nach der Sintflut,

12 Arphachsad war fünfunddreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Salah

13 und lebte darnach vierhundertunddrei Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

14 Salah war dreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Eber

15 und lebte darnach vierhundertunddrei Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

16 Eber war vierunddreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Peleg

17 und lebte darnach vierhundertunddreißig Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

18 Peleg war dreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Regu

19 und lebte darnach zweihundertundneun Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

20 Regu war zweiundreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Serug

21 und lebte darnach zweihundertundsieben Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

22 Serug war dreißig Jahre alt und zeugte Nahor

23 und lebte darnach zweihundert Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

24 Nahor war neunundzwanzig Jahre alt und zeugte Tharah

25 und lebte darnach hundertundneunzehn Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter.

26 Tharah war siebzig Jahre alt und zeugte Abram, Nahor und Haran.

27 Dies sind die Geschlechter Tharahs: Tharah zeugte Abram, Nahor und Haran. Aber Haran zeugte Lot.

28 Haran aber starb vor seinem Vater Tharah in seinem Vaterlande zu Ur in Chaldäa.

29 Da nahmen Abram und Nahor Weiber. Abrams Weib hieß Sarai, und Nahors Weib Milka, Harans Tochter, der ein Vater war der Milka und der Jiska.

30 Aber Sarai war unfruchtbar und hatte kein Kind.

31 Da nahm Tharah seinen Sohn Abram und Lot, seines Sohnes Harans Sohn, und seine Schwiegertochter Sarai, seines Sohnes Abrams Weib, und führte sie aus Ur in Chaldäa, daß er ins Land Kanaan zöge; und sie kamen gen Haran und wohnten daselbst.

32 Und Tharah war zweihundertundfünf Jahre alt und starb in Haran.

1293. And they dwelt there. That this signifies the derivative life, may be seen from the signification in the Word of “dwelling,” which is living. The word “dwell” frequently occurs in both the prophetic and the historic parts of the Word, and in the internal sense it usually signifies to live. The reason is that the most ancient people dwelt in tents, and held their most holy worship there; and therefore in the Word “tents” signify what is holy in worship, as before shown n. 414). And as tents signified the holy in worship, “to dwell,” also, in a good sense, signifies to live, or life. In like manner, because the most ancient people journeyed with their tents, in the internal sense of the Word “to journey” signifies the modes and order of life.

Genesis 11

Studie

   

1 The whole earth was of one language and of one speech.

2 It happened, as they traveled east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there.

3 They said one to another, "Come, let's make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

4 They said, "Come, let's build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let's make ourselves a name, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth."

5 Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.

6 Yahweh said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.

7 Come, let's go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."

8 So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.

9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.

10 This is the history of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood.

11 Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and became the father of sons and daughters.

12 Arpachshad lived thirty-five years and became the father of Shelah.

13 Arpachshad lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Shelah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

14 Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber:

15 and Shelah lived four hundred three years after he became the father of Eber, and became the father of sons and daughters.

16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg.

17 Eber lived four hundred thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and became the father of sons and daughters.

18 Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu.

19 Peleg lived two hundred nine years after he became the father of Reu, and became the father of sons and daughters.

20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug.

21 Reu lived two hundred seven years after he became the father of Serug, and became the father of sons and daughters.

22 Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor.

23 Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and became the father of sons and daughters.

24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah.

25 Nahor lived one hundred nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and became the father of sons and daughters.

26 Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

27 Now this is the history of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran became the father of Lot.

28 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chaldees.

29 Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran who was also the father of Iscah.

30 Sarai was barren. She had no child.

31 Terah took Abram his son, Lot the son of Haran, his son's son, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife. They went forth from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there.

32 The days of Terah were two hundred five years. Terah died in Haran.
