Genesis 10

Studie

   

1 Hæ sunt generationes filiorum Noë, Sem, Cham et Japheth : natique sunt eis filii post diluvium.

2 Filii Japheth : Gomer, et Magog, et Madai, et Javan, et Thubal, et Mosoch, et Thiras.

3 Porro filii Gomer : Ascenez et Riphath et Thogorma.

4 Filii autem Javan : Elisa et Tharsis, Cetthim et Dodanim.

5 Ab his divisæ sunt insulæ gentium in regionibus suis, unusquisque secundum linguam suam et familias suas in nationibus suis.

6 Filii autem Cham : Chus, et Mesraim, et Phuth, et Chanaan.

7 Filii Chus : Saba, et Hevila, et Sabatha, et Regma, et Sabatacha. Filii Regma : Saba et Dadan.

8 Porro Chus genuit Nemrod : ipse cœpit esse potens in terra,

9 et erat robustus venator coram Domino. Ob hoc exivit proverbium : Quasi Nemrod robustus venator coram Domino.

10 Fuit autem principium regni ejus Babylon, et Arach et Achad, et Chalanne, in terra Sennaar.

11 De terra illa egressus est Assur, et ædificavit Niniven, et plateas civitatis, et Chale.

12 Resen quoque inter Niniven et Chale : hæc est civitas magna.

13 At vero Mesraim genuit Ludim, et Anamim et Laabim, Nephthuim,

14 et Phetrusim, et Chasluim : de quibus egressi sunt Philisthiim et Caphtorim.

15 Chanaan autem genuit Sidonem primogenitum suum. Hethæum,

16 et Jebusæum, et Amorrhæum, Gergesæum,

17 Hevæum, et Aracæum : Sinæum,

18 et Aradium, Samaræum, et Amathæum : et post hæc disseminati sunt populi Chananæorum.

19 Factique sunt termini Chanaan venientibus a Sidone Geraram usque Gazam, donec ingrediaris Sodomam et Gomorrham, et Adamam, et Seboim usque Lesa.

20 Hi sunt filii Cham in cognationibus, et linguis, et generationibus, terrisque et gentibus suis.

21 De Sem quoque nati sunt, patre omnium filiorum Heber, fratre Japheth majore.

22 Filii Sem : Ælam, et Assur, et Arphaxad, et Lud, et Aram.

23 Filii Aram : Us, et Hul, et Gether, et Mes.

24 At vero Arphaxad genuit Sale, de quo ortus est Heber.

25 Natique sunt Heber filii duo : nomen uni Phaleg, eo quod in diebus ejus divisa sit terra : et nomen fratris ejus Jectan.

26 Qui Jectan genuit Elmodad, et Saleph, et Asarmoth, Jare,

27 et Aduram, et Uzal, et Decla,

28 et Ebal, et Abimaël, Saba,

29 et Ophir, et Hevila, et Jobab : omnes isti, filii Jectan.

30 Et facta est habitatio eorum de Messa pergentibus usque Sephar montem orientalem.

31 Isti filii Sem secundum cognationes, et linguas, et regiones in gentibus suis.

32 Hæ familiæ Noë juxta populos et nationes suas. Ab his divisæ sunt gentes in terra post diluvium.

Instead, spiritual reality is structured on the basis of spiritual state, or the loves and thoughts of angels. These loves and thoughts connect in chains of cause and effect, which angels experience much as we experience time. One thought flows into another on the spiritual level, and angels sense that progression the same way we sense the progression of one moment flowing into another. And when angels have thoughts and feelings that are similar, they experience a closeness that is very much the same as our experience of physical closeness; their idea of “space” is the variation in thoughts and affections held by spirits throughout the spiritual world.When the Bible describes something as “after” something else, then, the spiritual meaning has to do with the progression of spiritual states; it is a new spiritual state emerging from the one before it. And since higher states flow into lower states, the things coming “after” tend to be the lower, more external ones. For instance, the deep, internal desire to be good to others flows of its own accord into specific ideas of specific good things we can do. Those specific ideas, then, would be “after” the desire to be good.According to Swedenborg, time and space don’t exist in spiritual reality; they are purely natural things that exist only on the physical plane. This means that one spiritual thing can’t happen “after” another spiritual thing in time, because there is no time. And one spiritual thing can’t follow “after” another in space because there is no space.
