Genesi 22

Studie

   

1 DOPO queste cose, avvenne che Iddio provò Abrahamo, e gli disse: Abrahamo. Ed egli disse: Eccomi.

2 E Iddio gli disse: Prendi ora il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico, il qual tu ami, cioè, Isacco; e vattene nella contrada di Moria, ed offeriscilo quivi in olocausto, sopra l’uno di que’ monti, il quale io ti dirò.

3 Abrahamo adunque, levatosi la mattina a buon’ora, mise il basto al suo asino, e prese due suoi servitori seco, ed Isacco, suo figliuolo; e schiappate delle legne per l’olocausto, si levò, e se ne andò al luogo il quale Iddio gli avea detto.

4 Al terzo giorno, Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, e vide quel luogo di lontano.

5 E disse a’ suoi servitori: Restate qui con l’asino; ed io e il fanciullo andremo fin colà, ed adoreremo; poi ritorneremo a voi.

6 Ed Abrahamo prese le legne per l’olocausto, e le mise addosso ad Isacco, suo figliuolo; e prese in mano il fuoco e il coltello; e se ne andarono amendue insieme.

7 Ed Isacco disse ad Abrahamo suo padre: padre mio. Ed egli rispose: Eccomi, figliuol mio. Ed Isacco disse: Ecco il fuoco e le legne; ma dove è l’agnello per l’olocausto?

8 Ed Abrahamo disse: Figliuol mio, Iddio si provvederà d’agnello per l’olocausto. Ed essi se ne andarono amendue insieme.

9 E giunsero al luogo il quale Iddio avea detto ad Abrahamo; ed egli edificò quivi un altare, ed ordinò le legne; e legò Isacco suo figliuolo, e lo mise su l’altare disopra alle legne.

10 Ed Abrahamo stese la mano, e prese il coltello per iscannare il suo figliuolo.

11 Ma l’Angelo del Signore gli gridò dal cielo, e disse: Abrahamo, Abrahamo. Ed egli disse: Eccomi.

12 E l’Angelo gli disse: Non metter la mano addosso al fanciullo, e non fargli nulla; perciocchè ora conosco che tu temi Iddio, poichè tu non mi hai dinegato il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico.

13 Ed Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, e riguardò; ed ecco un montone dietro a lui, rattenuto per le corna ad un cespuglio. Ed Abrahamo andò, e prese quel montone, e l’offerse in olocausto, in luogo del suo figliuolo.

14 Ed Abrahamo nominò quel luogo: Il Signor provvederà. Che è quel che oggi si dice: Nel monte del Signore sarà provveduto.

15 E l’Angelo del Signore gridò ad Abrahamo dal cielo, la secondo volta.

16 E disse: Io giuro per me stesso, dice il Signore, che, poichè tu hai fatto questo e non mi hai dinegato il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico;

17 io del tutto ti benedirò, e farò moltiplicar grandemente la tua progenie, tal che sarà come le stelle del cielo, e come la rena che è in sul lido del mare; e la tua progenie possederà la porta de’ suoi nemici.

18 E tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua progenie; perciocchè tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce.

19 Poi Abrahamo se ne ritornò a’ suoi servitori. E si levarono, e se ne andarono insieme in Beerseba, ove Abrahamo dimorava.

20 E DOPO queste cose, fu rapportato ad Abrahamo: Ecco, Milca ha anch’essa partoriti figliuoli a Nahor, tuo fratello.

21 Questi furono: Us primogenito di esso, e Buz suo fratello, e Chemuel padre di Aram,

22 e Chesed, ed Hazo, e Pildas, ed Idlaf, e Betuel. Or Betuel generò Rebecca.

23 Milca partorì questi otto a Nahor fratello di Abrahamo.

24 E la concubina di esso, il cui nome era Reuma, partorì anch’essa Tebach, e Gaham, e Tahas, e Maaca.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

2803. That the Divine Truth is the “son,” and the Divine Good the “father,” is evident from the signification of a “son,” as being truth (see n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2633); and of a “father,” as being good; and also from the conception and birth of truth, which is from good. Truth cannot be and come forth [existere] from any other source than good, as has been shown many times. That the “son” here is the Divine Truth, and the “father” the Divine Good, is because the union of the Divine Essence with the Human, and of the Human Essence with the Divine, is the Divine marriage of Good with Truth, and of Truth with Good, from which comes the heavenly marriage; for in Jehovah or the Lord there is nothing but what is infinite; and because infinite, it cannot be apprehended by any idea, except that it is the being and the coming forth [esse et existere] of all good and truth, or is Good itself and Truth itself. Good itself is the “Father,” and Truth itself is the “Son.” But because as before said there is a Divine 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 saith unto Philip, Believest thou not 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 again in the same Evangelist:

Jesus said to the Jews, Though ye believe not Me, believe the works; that ye may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father (John 10:36, 38).

And again:

I pray for them; for all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; and that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in Me, and I in Thee (John 17:9-10, 21).

And again:

Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in Him; if God be glorified in Him, God shall also glorify Him in Himself. Father, glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee (John 13:31-32; 17:1).

[2] From this may be seen the nature of the union of the Divine and the Human in the Lord; namely, that it is mutual and alternate, or reciprocal; which union is that which is called the Divine Marriage, from which descends the heavenly marriage, which is the Lord’s kingdom itself in the heavens—thus spoken of in John:

In that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you (John 14:20).

And again:

I pray for them, that they all may be one, as Thou Father art in Me and I in Thee, that they also may be one in us, I in them and Thou in Me; that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them (John 17:21-23, 26).

That this heavenly marriage is that of good and truth, and of truth and good, may be seen above (n. 2508, 2618, 2728, 2729 and following numbers).

[3] And because the Divine Good cannot be and come forth without the Divine Truth, nor the Divine Truth without the Divine Good, but the one in the other mutually and reciprocally, it is therefore manifest that the Divine Marriage was from eternity; that is, the Son in the Father, and the Father in the Son, as the Lord Himself teaches in John:

And now O Father, glorify Thou Me with Thyself, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was (John 17:5, 24).

But the Divine Human which was born from eternity was also born in time; and what was born in time, and glorified, is the same. Hence it is that the Lord so often said that He was going to the Father who sent Him; that is, that He was returning to the Father. And in John:

In the beginning was the Word (the “Word” is the Divine Truth itself), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; the same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:1-3, 14; see also John 3:13; 6:62).
