1 Επι των ημερων δε του Αμαρφελ βασιλεως Σεννααρ, του Αριωχ βασιλεως Ελλασαρ, του Χοδολλογομορ βασιλεως Ελαμ, και του Θαργαλ βασιλεως εθνων,

2 εκαμον αυτοι πολεμον μετα του Βερα βασιλεως Σοδομων, και του Βαρσα βασιλεως Γομορρων, του Σεννααβ βασιλεως Αδαμα, και του Σεμοβορ βασιλεως Σεβωειμ, και του βασιλεως της Βελα· αυτη ειναι η Σηγωρ.

3 Παντες ουτοι ηνωθησαν ομου εν τη κοιλαδι Σιδδιμ ητις ειναι η αλμυρα θαλασσα.

4 Δωδεκα ετη εδουλευον εις τον Χοδολλογομορ· εν δε τω δεκατω τριτω απεστατησαν.

5 Και εν τω δεκατω τεταρτω ετει ηλθεν ο Χοδολλογομορ και οι βασιλεις οι μετ' αυτου, και επαταξαν τους Ραφαειμ εν Ασταρωθ-καρναιμ, και τους Ζουζειμ εν Αμ, και τους Εμμαιους εν Σαυη-κιριαθαιμ,

6 και τους Χορραιους εν τω ορει αυτων Σηειρ εως της πεδιαδος Φαραν, ητις ειναι εν τη ερημω.

7 Επεστρεψαν δε και ηλθον εις την Εν-μισπατ ητις ειναι η Καδης· και επαταξαν παντα τον τοπον του Αμαληκ, και τους Αμορραιους τους κατοικουντας εν Ασασων-θαμαρ.

8 Εξηλθε δε ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων, και ο βασιλευς των Γομορρων, και ο βασιλευς της Αδαμα, και ο βασιλευς των Σεβωειμ, και ο βασιλευς της Βελα, ητις ειναι η Σηγωρ· και συνεκροτησαν μαχην μετ' αυτων εν τη κοιλαδι Σιδδιμ,

9 μετα του Χοδολλογομορ βασιλεως Ελαμ, και του Θαργαλ βασιλεως εθνων, και του Αμραφελ βασιλεως Σεννααρ, και του Αριωχ βασιλεως Ελλασαρ· τεσσαρες βασιλεις προς πεντε.

10 Η δε κοιλας Σιδδιμ ητο πληρης φρεατων ασφαλτου· ετραπησαν δε εις φυγην οι βασιλεις των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων και επεσον εκει· οι δε εναπολειφθεντες εφυγον εις το ορος.

11 Και ελαβον παντα τα υπαρχοντα των Σοδομων και των Γομορρων και πασαν αυτων την ζωοτροφιαν, και ανεχωρησαν.

12 Ελαβον δε και τον Λωτ υιον του αδελφου του Αβραμ, οστις κατωκει εν Σοδομοις, και τα υπαρχοντα αυτου, και ανεχωρησαν.

13 Υπηγε δε τις εκ των διασωθεντων και απηγγειλε τουτο προς τον Αβραμ τον Εβραιον, οστις κατωκει πλησιον των δρυων Μαμβρη του Αμορραιου, αδελφου του Εσχωλ, και αδελφου του Ανηρ, οιτινες ησαν συμμαχοι του Αβραμ.

14 Ακουσας δε ο Αβραμ οτι ηχμαλωτισθη ο αδελφος αυτου, εφωπλισε τριακοσιους δεκαοκτω εκ των δουλων αυτου, των γεννηθεντων εν τη οικια αυτου, και κατεδιωξεν οπισω αυτων εως Δαν.

15 Και διαιρεσας τους εαυτου ωρμησε κατ' αυτων την νυκτα, αυτος και οι δουλοι αυτου, και επαταξεν αυτους, και κατεδιωξεν αυτους εως Χοβα ητις ειναι κατα τα αριστερα της Δαμασκου.

16 Και επανεφερε παντα τα υπαρχοντα και ετι επανεφερε Λωτ τον αδελφον αυτου και τα υπαρχοντα αυτου, ετι δε και τας γυναικας και τον λαον.

17 Εξηλθε δε ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων εις συναντησιν αυτου, αφου επεστρεψεν απο της καταστροφης του Χοδολλογομορ και των βασιλεων των μετ' αυτου, εν τη κοιλαδι Σαυη ητις ειναι η κοιλας του βασιλεως.

18 Και ο Μελχισεδεκ βασιλευς Σαλημ εφερεν εξω αρτον και οινον· ητο δε ιερευς του Θεου του Υψιστου.

19 Και ευλογησεν αυτον και ειπεν, Ευλογημενος ο Αβραμ παρα του Θεου του Υψιστου, οστις εκτισε τον ουρανον και την γην·

20 και ευλογητος ο Θεος ο Υψιστος οστις παρεδωκε τους εχθρους σου εις την χειρα σου. Και Αβραμ εδωκεν εις αυτον δεκατον απο παντων.

21 Και ειπεν ο βασιλευς των Σοδομων προς τον Αβραμ, Δος μοι τους ανθρωπους, τα δε υπαρχοντα λαβε εις σεαυτον.

22 Ειπε δε ο Αβραμ προς τον βασιλεα των Σοδομων, Εγω υψωσα την χειρα μου προς Κυριον, τον Θεον τον Υψιστον, οστις εκτισε τον ουρανον και την γην,

23 οτι δεν θελω λαβει απο παντων των ιδικων σου απο κλωστης εως λωριου υποδηματος, δια να μη ειπης, Εγω επλουτισα τον Αβραμ·

24 εκτος μονον εκεινου το οποιον εφαγον οι νεοι, και της μεριδος των ανθρωπων των ελθοντων μετ' εμου, του Ανηρ του Εσχωλ και του Μαμβρη, ουτοι ας λαβωσι την μεριδα αυτων.

1737. Who hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. That this signifies victory, may be seen without explication. The conjunction of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence was procured and effected by the Lord by continual combats of temptations and victories, and this from His own power. He who apprehends the mode of the conjunction and union in any other way is much mistaken. By this He became righteousness. The conjunction or union was effected with the Celestial of Love, that is, with Love itself, which, as before said, is Jehovah. The conjunction of men with the Lord is also effected by temptations, and by the implanting of faith in love. Unless faith is implanted in love, that is, unless a man by the things that are of faith receives the life of faith, that is, charity, there is no conjunction. This alone is to follow Him, namely, to be conjoined with the Lord just as the Lord as to His Human Essence was conjoined with Jehovah. Hence also all such are called “sons of God,” from the Lord who was the only Son of God, and hence they become images of Him.

Genesis 14

Studie

   

1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

2 that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar).

3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.

5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim;

9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.

11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

12 They took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.

14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

19 He blessed him, and said, "blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.

21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."

22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
