1 Και ευλογησεν ο Θεος τον Νωε και τους υιους αυτου· και ειπε προς αυτους, Αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε, και γεμισατε την γην·

2 και ο φοβος σας και ο τρομος σας θελει εισθαι επι παντα τα ζωα της γης, και επι παντα τα πτηνα του ουρανου, επι παν ο, τι ερπει επι της γης, και επι παντας τους ιχθυας της θαλασσης· εις τας χειρας σας εδοθησαν·

3 παν κινουμενον, το οποιον ζη, θελει εισθαι εις σας προς τροφην· ως τον χλωρον χορτον εδωκα τα παντα εις εσας·

4 κρεας ομως με την ζωην αυτου, με το αιμα αυτου, δεν θελετε φαγει·

5 και εξαπαντος το αιμα σας, το αιμα της ζωης σας, θελω εκζητησει εκ της χειρος παντος ζωου θελω εκζητησει αυτο, και εκ της χειρος του ανθρωπου· εκ της χειρος παντος αδελφου αυτου θελω εκζητησει την ζωην του ανθρωπου·

6 οστις χυση αιμα ανθρωπου, υπο ανθρωπου θελει χυθη το αιμα αυτου· διοτι κατ' εικονα Θεου εποιησεν ο Θεος τον ανθρωπον·

7 σεις δε αυξανεσθε και πληθυνεσθε, πολλαπλασιαζεσθε επι της γης, και πληθυνεσθε επ' αυτης.

8 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε και προς τους υιους αυτου μετ' αυτου, λεγων,

9 Και εγω, ιδου, στηνω την διαθηκην μου προς εσας, και προς το σπερμα σας υστερον απο σας·

10 και προς παν εμψυχον ζωον, το οποιον ειναι με σας, εκ των πτηνων, εκ των κτηνων και εκ παντων των ζωων της γης, τα οποια ειναι με σας· απο παντος του εξελθοντος εκ της κιβωτου, εως παντος ζωου της γης·

11 και στηνω την διαθηκην μου προς εσας· και δεν θελει πλεον εξολοθρευθη πασα σαρξ απο των υδατων του κατακλυσμου· ουδε θελει εισθαι πλεον κατακλυσμος δια να φθειρη την γην.

12 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Τουτο ειναι το σημειον της διαθηκης, την οποιαν εγω καμνω μεταξυ εμου και υμων και παντος εμψυχου ζωου το οποιον ειναι με σας, εις γενεας αιωνιους·

13 Θετω το τοξον μου εν τη νεφελη, και θελει εισθαι εις σημειον διαθηκης μεταξυ εμου και της γης·

14 και οταν συννεφωσω νεφελην επι της γης, θελει φανη το τοξον εν τη νεφελη·

15 και θελω ενθυμηθη την διαθηκην μου, την μεταξυ εμου και υμων, και παντος εμψυχου ζωου εκ πασης σαρκος· και τα υδατα δεν θελουσιν εισθαι πλεον εις κατακλυσμον δια να εξαλειψωσι πασαν σαρκα·

16 και το τοξον θελει εισθαι εν τη νεφελη· και θελω βλεπει αυτο, δια να ενθυμωμαι την παντοτεινην διαθηκην την μεταξυ Θεου και παντος εμψυχου ζωου εκ πασης σαρκος ητις ειναι επι της γης.

17 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Νωε, Τουτο ειναι το σημειον της διαθηκης, την οποιαν εστησα μεταξυ εμου και πασης σαρκος ητις ειναι επι της γης.

18 Ησαν δε οι υιοι του Νωε, οι εξελθοντες εκ της κιβωτου, Σημ και Χαμ και Ιαφεθ. Ο δε Χαμ ητο πατηρ του Χανααν.

19 Οι τρεις ουτοι ειναι οι υιοι του Νωε, και εκ τουτων διεσπαρησαν εις πασαν την γην.

20 Και ηρχισεν ο Νωε να ηναι γεωργος και εφυτευσεν αμπελωνα·

21 και επιεν εκ του οινου και εμεθυσθη, και εγυμνωθη εν τη σκηνη αυτου.

22 Και ειδεν ο Χαμ, ο πατηρ του Χανααν, την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτου· και ανηγγειλε τουτο προς τους δυο αδελφους αυτου εξω.

23 Και λαβοντες ο Σημ και ο Ιαφεθ το ενδυμα, επεθηκαν αυτο επι τα δυο αυτων νωτα· και βαδισαντες οπισθονωτα, εσκεπασαν την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων· και τα προσωπα αυτων ησαν προς τα οπισω, και την γυμνωσιν του πατρος αυτων δεν ειδον.

24 Ανανηψας δε ο Νωε απο του οινου αυτου, εμαθεν οσα εκαμεν εις αυτον ο υιος αυτου ο νεωτερος.

25 Και ειπεν, Επικαταρατος ο Χανααν· δουλος των δουλων θελει εισθαι εις τους αδελφους αυτου.

26 Και ειπεν, Ευλογητος Κυριος ο Θεος του Σημ. Και ο Χανααν θελει εισθαι δουλος εις αυτον·

27 ο Θεος θελει πλατυνει τον Ιαφεθ, και θελει κατοικησει εν ταις σκηναις του Σημ, ο δε Χανααν θελει εισθαι δουλος εις αυτον·

28 Και εζησεν ο Νωε μετα τον κατακλυσμον τριακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη.

29 Και εγειναν πασαι αι ημεραι του Νωε εννεακοσια πεντηκοντα ετη· και απεθανε.

782. 18:14 "The fruits that your soul longed for have gone from you, and all things rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all." This symbolically means that all the blessings and felicities of heaven, including the external ones they wish for, will altogether fly away and be seen no longer, because these Roman Catholics do not have in them any celestial or spiritual affections for goodness and truth.

Fruits that the soul longs for symbolize nothing else than the blessings and felicities of heaven, because those are the fruits of everything having to do with the doctrine and worship that are the subject here, and because they are what people desire when they are dying, and also what they continue to desire when they first come into the spiritual world.

Things rich and splendid symbolize celestial and spiritual affections for goodness and truth - rich things affections for goodness, as we will show below, and splendid things affections for truth, which are called splendid because they develop in response to the light of heaven and its splendor in human minds, giving rise to an understanding of goodness and truth and so to wisdom.

To go and not be found anymore means symbolically that the blessings and felicities of heaven will fly away and be seen no longer, because the people here do not have any celestial or spiritual goodness and truth. Moreover, the blessings and felicities that they long for are called external, because the only blessings and felicities and affections that they long for are carnal and worldly ones, and consequently they are incapable of knowing the nature and character of the blessings and felicities that are called celestial and spiritual.

[2] But we will illustrate this by disclosing the lot of those people after death. When people impelled by a love of dominion from a love of self and so by a love of the world come from that religion into the spiritual world, as they do immediately after death, they all yearn for nothing else than dominion and the pleasures of the heart resulting from that dominion, and the pleasures of the body resulting from wealth. For a person's reigning love with its affections or lusts and desires awaits everyone after death. However, because a love of exercising dominion, springing from a love of self, over the sanctities of the church and heaven, all of which are Divine and the Lord's, is diabolical, therefore after a period of time these people are separated from their companions and cast down into various hells.

But even so, because in consequence of their religion they have participated in an external worship of God, they are first taught the nature and character of heaven, and the nature and character of the happiness of eternal life, that its blessings are pure blessings flowing in from the Lord into everyone in heaven in accordance with the character of the heavenly affection for goodness and truth in them. Yet because they have not turned to the Lord and so have not been conjoined with Him, and also lack any such affection for goodness and truth, they reject that instruction and turn away, and long for the pleasures of the love of self and the world then, which are merely natural and carnal. But because it is inherent in those pleasures to do evil, especially to people who worship the Lord, thus to angels in heaven, therefore they are deprived of those pleasures also and are thrust among their comrades in infernal workhouses in a contemptible and wretched state.

Still, these events befall them to the degree of their love of dominion over things that are Divine and the Lord's, which is the degree to which they rejected the Lord.

[3] It can now be seen from this that "the fruits that your soul longed for have gone from you, and all things rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all," symbolically means that all the blessings and felicities of heaven, including the external ones they wish for, will altogether fly away and be seen no longer, because these Roman Catholics do not have in them any affections for goodness and truth.

That rich things 1 symbolize heavenly goods, and also affections for those goods and the delights of those affections, can be seen from the following passages:

Listen... to Me, eat what is good, that your soul may delight itself in richness. (Isaiah 55:2)

I will fill the soul of the priests with richness, and My people shall be satisfied with... goodness... (Jeremiah 31:14)

My soul shall be satisfied... with fatness and richness, and my mouth shall praise with singing lips. (Psalms 63:5)

They are filled with the richness of Your house, and You give them drink from the river of Your delights. (Psalms 36:8)

On this mountain Jehovah... will make for all people a feast of rich food..., of rich food full of marrow... (Isaiah 25:6)

They shall still have produce in old age; they shall be rich and green, to declare that Jehovah is upright. (Psalms 92:14-15)

(In the feast that Jehovah will make) you shall eat rich food till you are full, and drink blood till you are drunk... (Ezekiel 39:19)

(Jehovah) will regard your burnt offering as rich. (Psalms 20:3)

Because richness of fat symbolizes heavenly goodness, it was therefore a statute in Israel that all the fat of sacrificial animals should be burnt on the altar (Exodus 29:13, 22; Leviticus 1:8; 3:3-16; 4:8-35; 7:3-4, 30-31; 17:6).

In an opposite sense, the richness of fat symbolizes people who are nauseated at goodness, and who, because it is just too much, scorn it and reject it (Deuteronomy 32:15; Jeremiah 5:28; 50:11; Psalms 17:10; 20:3; 78:31; 119:70; and elsewhere).

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Literally, "fat things." The original words in Hebrew and Greek, translated here as "rich" or "richness," mean literally "fat" or "fatness," but metaphorically "rich" or "richness."

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.
