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.

1003. That 'not eating flesh with its soul, its blood' means not mixing together unholy things with holy is now clear from what has been stated above. Unholy things are in no way mixed with holy through somebody's eating blood along with the flesh, as also the Lord clearly teaches in Matthew,

Not what goes into the mouth renders a man unclean, but what comes out of the mouth, this renders the man unclean. For the things which come out of the mouth come out of the heart. Matthew 15:11, 17-20.

It was prohibited in the Jewish Church however because in heaven, as stated, eating blood along with the flesh in those days represented profanation. Everything that took place in that Church was converted in heaven into corresponding representatives. Blood in particular was converted into that which is holy and celestial, while flesh, with the exception of that offered in sacrifices, was converted into that which is unholy, because, as has been shown, it meant evil desires. The mere eating of the two in those times was converted into a mixing together of what is holy and of what is unholy. This was why the practice was so strictly forbidden in those days. But after the Lord's Coming when external rites were abolished and so representatives came to an end, such things ceased after that to be converted in heaven into corresponding representatives. For when a man becomes internal, and has been informed concerning internal things, external things are of no importance to him. He is now aware of what holiness really is, namely, charity and faith deriving from it. Things with him which are external he now regards from the viewpoint of charity and faith, that is to say, he looks to see how much charity and faith in the Lord external things contain. This is why since the Lord's Coming heaven has looked at mankind not from the viewpoint of external things but of internal. And if anyone is looked at from the viewpoint of those things that are external it is because he dwells in simplicity, and in innocence and charity within that simplicity. These are present with him from the Lord in external things, that is, in his external worship, though he himself is not actually aware of this.

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.
