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.

1198. 'From whom they came forth' means that cognitions, as these exist with them, are facts. This is clear from what has been stated. These are not said to have been 'begotten' by those who belonged to Egypt but to have 'gone forth', for they are not such as use natural and factual knowledge to reason about spiritual and celestial things and in so doing fabricate for themselves doctrinal teachings, as do those described before. Instead they learn cognitions of faith from another source, but have no other end in view to knowing and retaining these in the memory than they have with other things in which they have no interest beyond merely knowing them, and only then for the reason that by so knowing they may be promoted to positions of importance, and for other like reasons. So different is knowledge of cognitions of faith from knowledge of natural things that the two have scarcely anything in common. This explains why they are not said to have been 'bore' but to have 'gone forth' from them. Such being the character of 'Philistines' they inevitably pervert cognitions of faith by means of reasonings from them, and as a consequence fabricate false doctrines for themselves. They belong therefore among those who are barely able to be regenerated and to receive charity, both because they are uncircumcised at heart and because the false assumptions and consequently the life of their understanding hinder and prevent.
