1 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα ο Θεος εδοκιμασε τον Αβρααμ, και ειπε προς αυτον, Αβρααμ· ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

2 Και ειπε, Λαβε τωρα τον υιον σου τον μονογενη, τον οποιον ηγαπησας, τον Ισαακ, και υπαγε εις τον τοπον Μορια, και προσφερε αυτον εκει εις ολοκαυτωμα, επι ενος των ορεων, το οποιον θελω σοι ειπει.

3 Σηκωθεις δε Αβρααμ ενωρις το πρωι, εσαμαρωσε την ονον αυτου και ελαβε μεθ' εαυτου δυο εκ των δουλων αυτου και Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και σχισας ξυλα δια την ολοκαυτωσιν, εσηκωθη και υπηγεν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

4 Την δε τριτην ημεραν υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου, ειδε τον τοπον μακροθεν.

5 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου, Σεις καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου· εγω δε και το παιδαριον θελομεν υπαγει εως εκει· και αφου προσκυνησωμεν, θελομεν επιστρεψει προς εσας.

6 Και λαβων ο Αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαυτωσεως, επεθεσεν επι τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου· και ελαβεν εις την χειρα αυτου το πυρ, και την μαχαιραν, και υπηγον οι δυο ομου.

7 Τοτε ελαλησεν ο Ισαακ προς Αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου και ειπε, Πατερ μου. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω, τεκνον μου. Και ειπεν ο Ισαακ, Ιδου, το πυρ και τα ξυλα· αλλα που το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν;

8 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Ο Θεος, τεκνον μου, θελει προβλεψει εις εαυτον το προβατον δια την ολοκαυτωσιν. Και επορευοντο οι δυο ομου.

9 Αφου δε εφθασαν εις τον τοπον τον οποιον ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος, ωκοδομησεν εκει ο Αβρααμ το θυσιαστηριον και διεθεσε τα ξυλα, και δεσας τον Ισαακ τον υιον αυτου εβαλεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων·

10 και εκτεινας ο Αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου, ελαβε την μαχαιραν δια να σφαξη τον υιον αυτου.

11 Αγγελος δε Κυριου εφωνησε προς αυτον εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν, Αβρααμ, Αβρααμ. Ο δε ειπεν, Ιδου, εγω.

12 Και ειπε, Μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον, και μη πραξης εις αυτο μηδεν· διοτι τωρα εγνωρισα οτι συ φοβεισαι τον Θεον, επειδη δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου τον μονογενη δι' εμε.

13 Και υψωσας ο Αβρααμ τους οφθαλμους αυτου ειδε· και ιδου, κριος οπισθεν αυτου, κρατουμενος απο των κερατων αυτου εις φυτον πυκνοκλαδον· και ελθων ο Αβρααμ, ελαβε τον κριον και προσεφερεν αυτον εις ολοκαυτωμα αντι του υιου αυτου.

14 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου Ιεοβα-ιρε· ως λεγεται και την σημερον, Εν τω ορει ο Κυριος θελει εμφανισθη.

15 Και εφωνησε δευτερον ο αγγελος του Κυριου προς τον Αβρααμ εκ του ουρανου,

16 και ειπεν, Ωμοσα εις εμαυτον, λεγει Κυριος, οτι, επειδη επραξας το πραγμα τουτο και δεν ελυπηθης τον υιον σου, τον μονογενη σου,

17 οτι ευλογων θελω σε ευλογησει, και πληθυνων θελω πληθυνει το σπερμα σου ως τα αστρα του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης· και το σπερμα σου θελει κυριευσει τας πυλας των εχθρων αυτου·

18 και εν τω σπερματι σου θελουσιν ευλογηθη παντα τα εθνη της γης· διοτι υπηκουσας εις την φωνην μου.

19 Και επεστρεψεν ο Αβρααμ προς τους δουλους αυτου· και σηκωθεντες, υπηγον ομου εις Βηρ-σαβεε· και κατωκησεν ο Αβρααμ Ενβηρ-σαβεε.

20 Μετα δε τα πραγματα ταυτα, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Αβρααμ λεγοντες, Ιδου, η Μελχα εγεννησε και αυτη υιους εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον σου·

21 τον Ουζ πρωτοτοκον αυτου, και τον Βουζ αδελφον αυτου, και τον Κεμουηλ τον πατερα του Αραμ,

22 και τον Κεσεδ, και τον Αζαυ, και τον Φαλδες, και τον Ιελδαφ, και τον Βαθουηλ.

23 Ο δε Βαθουηλ εγεννησε την Ρεβεκκαν· τους οκτω τουτους εγεννησεν η Μελχα εις τον Ναχωρ τον αδελφον του Αβρααμ.

24 Και η παλλακη αυτου, η ονομαζομενη Ρευμα, εγεννησε και αυτη τον Ταβεκ και τον Γααμ και τον Ταχας και τον Μααχα.

2803. As regards Divine Truth being meant by 'son' and Divine Good by 'father', this becomes clear from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and of 'father' as good, and also from the conception and birth of truth as taking place from good. As has been shown many times, truth cannot have being or manifest itself except from good. The reason 'son' here means Divine Truth, and 'father' Divine Good, is that the union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, and of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence, is the Divine Marriage of Divine Good to Truth, and of Truth to Good; and from that marriage comes the heavenly marriage. For within Jehovah or the Lord there is nothing but that which is infinite, and this being so, no other idea can be conceived of Him than that He is the Being and Manifestation (Esse et Existere) of all good and truth, that is, He is Good itself and Truth itself. Good itself is the Father, and Truth itself the Son. Now because the Divine Marriage, as has been stated, is a marriage of Good and Truth, and of Truth and Good, the Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Jesus said to Philip, Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. John 14:10-11.

And elsewhere in the same evangelist,

Jesus said to the Jews, Even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. John 10:36, 38.

And elsewhere,

I pray for them - for all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine - that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You John 17:9-10, 21.

And elsewhere,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself. Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. John 13:31-32; 17:1.

[2] From these places one may see the nature of the union of the Divine and of the Human within the Lord - that each is linked mutually to the other and responds to the other - that is, it is a reciprocal union. This is the Union which is called the Divine Marriage, from which the heavenly marriage comes down, which is the Lord's kingdom itself in heaven and is referred to in John as follows,

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. John 14:20.

And elsewhere,

I pray for these, that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, I in them and You in Me, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:21-23, 26.

[3] As regards this heavenly marriage being a marriage of good and truth, and of truth and good, see 2508, 2618, 2728, 2729 and following paragraphs. And since Divine Good cannot possibly have being or manifest itself without Divine Truth, and Divine Truth cannot possibly do so without Divine Good, but one is always reaching out to and responding to the other, it is therefore plain that the Divine Marriage has existed from eternity, that is, the Father in the Son, and the Son in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Now, Father, glorify Me in Your Own Self with the glory I had with You before the world was. John 17:5, 24.

But the Divine Human that had been born from eternity was also born in time, and what was born in time is the same as that which was glorified. This is what accounts for the Lord's saying many times that He was going to the Father who sent Him, that is, He was returning to the Father. And in John,

In the beginning was the Word (the Word being Divine Truth itself), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. Furthermore the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-3, 14.

See also John 3:13; 6:62.
