Genesi 10

Studie

   

1 Questa è la posterità dei figliuoli di Noè: Sem, Cam e Jafet; e a loro nacquero de’ figliuoli, dopo il diluvio.

2 I figliuoli di Jafet furono Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Mescec e Tiras.

3 I figliuoli di Gomer: Ashkenaz, Rifat e Togarma.

4 I figliuoli di Javan: Elisha, Tarsis, Kittim e Dodanim.

5 Da essi vennero i popoli sparsi nelle isole delle nazioni, nei loro diversi paesi, ciascuno secondo la propria lingua, secondo le loro famiglie, nelle loro nazioni.

6 I figliuoli di Cam furono Cush, Mitsraim, Put e Canaan.

7 I figliuoli di Cush: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Raama e Sabteca; e i figliuoli di Raama: Sceba e Dedan.

8 E Cush generò Nimrod, che cominciò a esser potente sulla terra.

9 Egli fu un potente cacciatore nei cospetto dell’Eterno; perciò si dice: "Come Nimrod, potente cacciatore nel cospetto dell’Eterno".

10 E il principio del suo regno fu Babel, Erec, Accad e Calne nel paese di Scinear.

11 Da quel paese andò in Assiria ed edificò Ninive, Rehoboth-Ir e Calah;

12 e, fra Ninive e Calah, Resen, la gran città.

13 Mitsraim generò i Ludim, gli Anamim, i Lehabim, i Naftuhim,

14 i Pathrusim, i Casluhim (donde uscirono i Filistei) e i Caftorim.

15 Canaan generò Sidon, suo primogenito, e Heth,

16 e i Gebusei, gli Amorei, i Ghirgasei,

17 gli Hivvei, gli Archei, i Sinei,

18 gli Arvadei, i Tsemarei e gli Hamattei. Poi le famiglie dei Cananei si sparsero.

19 E i confini dei Cananei andarono da Sidon, in direzione di Gherar, fino a Gaza; e in direzione di Sodoma, Gomorra, Adma e Tseboim, fino a Lesha.

20 Questi sono i figliuoli di Cam, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, nelle loro nazioni.

21 Anche a Sem, padre di tutti i figliuoli di Eber e fratello maggiore di Jafet, nacquero de’ figliuoli.

22 I figliuoli di Sem furono Elam, Assur, Arpacshad, Lud e Aram.

23 I figliuoli di Aram: Uz, Hul, Gheter e Mash.

24 E Arpacshad generò Scelah, e Scelah generò Eber.

25 E ad Eber nacquero due figliuoli; il nome dell’uno fu Peleg, perché ai suoi giorni la terra fu spartita; e il nome del suo fratello fu Jokthan.

26 E Jokthan generò Almodad, Scelef, Hatsarmaveth,

27 Jerah, Hadoram, Uzal,

28 Diklah, Obal, Abimael, Sceba,

29 Ofir, Havila e Jobab. Tutti questi furono figliuoli di Jokthan.

30 E la loro dimora fu la montagna orientale, da Mesha, fin verso Sefar.

31 Questi sono i figliuoli di Sem, secondo le loro famiglie, secondo le loro lingue, nei loro paesi, secondo le loro nazioni.

32 Queste sono le famiglie dei figliuoli di Noè secondo le loro generazioni, nelle loro nazioni; e da essi uscirono le nazioni che si sparsero per la terra dopo il diluvio.

1224. From these considerations it is clear what these names mean in the internal sense, namely that the Ancient Church, which was an internal Church, was endowed with wisdom, intelligence, knowledge, and cognitions of truth and good. Such things are contained in the internal sense even though merely names occur from which nothing is seen in the literal sense, apart from these being just so many origins, or fathers of nations, and so nothing of a doctrinal nature is seen, still less anything spiritual and celestial. The same applies in the Prophets where lists of names are sometimes given which in the internal sense mean real things following one after another in a lovely order.

Genesis 10

Studie

   

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
