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.

1203. 'Heth' means exterior cognitions of celestial things, as is clear from what is said above. In the Prophets it is common for spiritual and celestial things to be linked together, that is, when spiritual things are dealt with so are celestial things, the reason being that one stems from the other, and perfection is somewhat lacking if they are not linked together. Consequently a likeness to the heavenly marriage exists in every single part of the Word. From this as well as other places in the Word it is also clear that Sidon means exterior cognitions of spiritual things, while Heth means exterior cognitions of celestial things. They are used in both senses, that is to say, either when internals are missing or when they are present, as well as being used to stand simply for exterior cognitions. As stated frequently already, spiritual things are those that belong to faith, celestial things those that belong to love. Spiritual things are also those that belong to the understanding, and celestial those that belong to the will. That 'Heth' means exterior cognitions devoid of internal is clear in Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovih to Jerusalem, Your tracings and your nativity are of the land of Canaan Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite. You are the daughter of your mother who loathes her husband and her sons; and you are the sister of your sisters who loathed their husbands and their sons. Your mother is a Hittite and your father an Amorite. Ezekiel 16:3, 45.

Here external worship devoid of internal is 'Canaan'. 'Loathing husbands and sons' is spurning goods and truths, and this is why their mother is called 'a Hittite'. In addition to this 'Heth' in the Word also stands for exterior cognitions of celestial things in a good sense, as, for reasons dealt with already, almost all names of lands, cities, nations, and persons are so used. In the Lord's Divine mercy the meaning of 'Heth' will be dealt with later on Cognitions of spiritual things are those that have regard to faith, and so to doctrine, while cognitions of celestial things are those that have regard to love, and so to life.
