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.

1238. As for Eber meaning a nation as well, whose father was thus named Eber, the position is this: Those named so far were nations with whom the Ancient Church existed. All of them were called sons of Shem, Ham, Japheth, or Canaan, because 'Shem, Ham, Japheth, and Canaan' meant differing types of worship in the Church. Noah, Shem, Ham, Japheth, and Canaan never were actual people, but because the Ancient Church in particular was such, and every Church in general is such, that it includes a true internal, a corrupted internal, a true external, and a corrupted external, these names were therefore adopted so that all differences in general could be related to those characters and their sons as to their heads. The nations named here also at first possessed such worship, for which reason they are called the sons of one of Noah's sons, and also such forms of worship themselves are meant by the names of these nations in the Word.

[2] This first Ancient Church meant by Noah and his sons was not confined to a few people but was spread throughout many kingdoms, as is clear from the nations mentioned - throughout Assyria, Mesopotamia, Syria, Ethiopia, Arabia, Libya, Egypt, Philistia up to Tyre and Sidon, and throughout the whole of the land of Canaan, on this side of the Jordan and on the other side. Subsequently however a certain type of external worship started in Syria which spread far and wide from there and through many countries, particularly Canaan. It was a different form of worship from the worship of the Ancient Church. And because something of a Church arose in this way that was separate from the Ancient Church, a new Church so to speak rose up from it which may therefore be called the second Ancient Church. Eber was its first founder, and therefore this Church took its name from Eber. As stated already, everybody at that time was distinguished into separate houses, families, and nations. One nation recognized one father from whom it also took its name, as is clear throughout the Word, the nation which recognized Eber as its father thus being called the Hebrew nation.
