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.

1154. 'Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah' were just so many nations with whom such worship existed, and who mean just so many types of matters of doctrine which were forms of ritual, derived from the external worship existing with 'Gomer'. This is clear from the Prophets where the same nations are mentioned again. Those nations mean in every instance doctrinal teachings or forms of ritual. And as usual they are meant in both senses, at times in the genuine and at others in the contrary. Ashkenaz is mentioned in Jeremiah,

Set up a standard on the earth, sound the trumpet among the nations; consecrate the nations against her, cause the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz to hear against her. Jeremiah 5:27.

This refers to the destruction of Babel where 'Ashkenaz' stands for its idolatrous worship, that is, for external worship separated from internal, which destroyed Babylon. In particular it stands for doctrines that are false. Thus Ashkenaz is used in the contrary sense. Togarmah is mentioned in Ezekiel,

Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, they were your traders in the souls of men, and they gave vessels of bronze for your merchandise. Those of Bethtogarmah gave horses and horsemen, and mules for your resources. Ezekiel 27:13-14.

This refers to Tyre which represented people who possessed cognitions of celestial and spiritual things. As previously, 'Javan, Tubal, and Meshech' are various representative rites, that is, ones that correspond; and so also is 'Bethtogarmah'. The external rites of the former have regard to celestial things, but those of the latter, or Bethtogarmah, to spiritual things, as is clear from the meaning of the wares with which they traded. In this case Bethtogarmah is used in the genuine sense. In the same prophet,

Gomer and all on his Ranks; Bethtogarmah, the uttermost parts of the north, together with ale on his flanks. Ezekiel 38:6.

Here they stand for perverted matters of doctrine, which are also 'the uttermost parts of the north'. In this case Gomer and Bethtogarmah are used in the contrary sense.
