Genesis 1

Studie

1 Pradžioje Dievas sutvėrė dangų ir žemę.

2 Žemė buvo be pavidalo ir tuščia, tamsa gaubė gelmes, ir Dievo Dvasia sklandė virš vandenų.

3 Dievas tarė: “Teatsiranda šviesa!” Ir atsirado šviesa.

4 Dievas matė šviesą ir, kad tai buvo gerai, ir Dievas atskyrė šviesą nuo tamsos.

5 Dievas pavadino šviesą diena, o tamsą naktimi. Tai buvo vakaras ir rytas­ pirmoji diena.

6 Dievas tarė: “Teatsiranda tvirtuma tarp vandenų, ir ji teatskiria vandenis nuo vandenų!”

7 Dievas padarė tvirtumą ir atskyrė vandenis, kurie buvo po tvirtuma, nuo vandenų, kurie buvo virš tvirtumos. Ir taip įvyko.

8 Dievas pavadino tvirtumą dangumi. Tai buvo vakaras ir rytas­antroji diena.

9 Dievas tarė: “Tesusirenka vandenys, kurie yra po dangumi, į vieną vietą ir tepasirodo sausuma!” Ir taip įvyko.

10 Dievas pavadino sausumą žeme, o vandenų samplūdį­jūromis. Ir Dievas matė, kad tai buvo gerai.

11 Dievas tarė: “Tegul žemė išaugina žolę, augalus, duodančius sėklą, ir vaismedžius, nešančius vaisių pagal jų rūšį, kuriuose yra jų sėkla!” Ir taip įvyko.

12 Žemė išaugino žolę, augalus, duodančius sėklą pagal jų rūšį, ir medžius, nešančius vaisius pagal jų rūšį, kuriuose yra jų sėkla. Ir Dievas matė, kad tai buvo gerai.

13 Tai buvo vakaras ir rytas­ trečioji diena.

14 Dievas tarė: “Teatsiranda šviesos dangaus tvirtumoje dienai nuo nakties atskirti ir tebūna jos ženklai pažymėti laikus, dienas ir metus.

15 Jos težiba dangaus tvirtumoje ir apšviečia žemę!” Ir taip įvyko.

16 Dievas padarė dvi dideles šviesas: didesniąją­ dienai ir mažesniąją nakčiai valdyti, ir taip pat žvaigždes.

17 Dievas išdėstė jas dangaus tvirtumoje, kad šviestų žemei,

18 valdytų dieną bei naktį ir atskirtų šviesą nuo tamsos. Ir Dievas matė, kad tai buvo gerai.

19 Tai buvo vakaras ir rytas­ ketvirtoji diena.

20 Dievas tarė: “Tegul vandenys knibždėte knibžda gyvūnais ir paukščiai teskraido virš žemės, padangėse!”

21 Taip Dievas sutvėrė didelius jūros gyvūnus ir visus kitus gyvius, kurie atsirado iš vandens, ir visus paukščius pagal jų rūšį. Ir Dievas matė, kad tai buvo gerai.

22 Dievas juos palaimino, tardamas: “Būkite vaisingi, dauginkitės ir pripildykite vandenis jūrose, o paukščiai tepripildo žemę!”

23 Tai buvo vakaras ir rytas­ penktoji diena.

24 Dievas tarė: “Tegul žemė išaugina gyvūnus pagal jų rūšį: gyvulius, roplius ir laukinius žvėris, kiekvieną pagal savo rūšį!” Ir taip įvyko.

25 Dievas padarė laukinius žvėris, gyvulius ir visokius roplius, kiekvieną pagal jų rūšį. Ir Dievas matė, kad tai buvo gerai.

26 Dievas tarė: “Padarykime žmogų pagal mūsų atvaizdą ir panašumą. Jie tevaldo jūros žuvis, padangių paukščius, gyvulius ir visą žemę bei visus roplius, kurie gyvena ant žemės!”

27 Ir Dievas sutvėrė žmogų pagal savo atvaizdą; pagal Dievo atvaizdą sutvėrė Jis jį; vyrą ir moterį sutvėrė Jis.

28 Dievas juos palaimino ir tarė: “Būkite vaisingi ir dauginkitės, pripildykite žemę ir užvaldykite ją, viešpataukite jūros žuvims, padangių paukščiams ir kiekvienam gyvam padarui, kuris kruta ant žemės!”

29 Dievas tarė: “Aš jums daviau įvairias žoles, turinčias sėklą, kurios auga žemės paviršiuje, ir visus medžius, kurių vaisius turi sėklą; jums tebūna tai maistas.

30 Ir visiems žemės gyvūnams, visiems padangių paukščiams ir visiems, kas kruta ant žemės, kas turi gyvybę, daviau visus žaliuojančius augalus maistui”. Ir taip įvyko.

31 Dievas matė visa, ką buvo padaręs, ir tai buvo labai gerai. Buvo vakaras ir rytas­ šeštoji diena.

31. That the “great luminaries” signify love and faith, and are also called “sun, moon, and stars” is evident from the Prophets, as in Ezekiel:

When I shall extinguish thee, I will cover the heavens and make the stars thereof black; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light; all the luminaries of the light of heaven will I make black over thee, and I will set darkness upon thy land (Ezekiel 32:7-8).

In this passage Pharaoh and the Egyptians are treated of, by whom are meant, in the Word, the principle of mere sense and of mere knowledge [sensuale et scientificum]; and here, that by things of sense and of mere knowledge [sensualia et scientifica], love and faith had been extinguished. So in Isaiah:

The day of Jehovah cometh to set the land in desolation, for the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun is darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine (Isaiah 13:9-10).

Again, in Joel:

The day of Jehovah cometh, a day of darkness and of thick darkness; the earth trembleth before Him, the heavens are in commotion; the sun and the moon are blackened, and the stars withdraw their brightness (Joel 2:1-2, 10).

[2] Again, in Isaiah, speaking of the advent of the Lord and the enlightening of the Gentiles, consequently of a new church, and in particular of all who are in darkness, and receive light, and are being regenerated:

Arise, shine, for thy light is come; behold darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples, and Jehovah shall arise upon thee, and the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising, Jehovah shall be to thee a light of eternity, thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself, for Jehovah shall be to thee a light of eternity (Isaiah 60:1-3, 20).

So in David:

Jehovah in intelligence maketh the heavens, He stretcheth out the earth above the waters; He maketh great luminaries; the sun to rule by day, the moon and stars to rule by night (Psalms 136:5-9).

And again:

Glorify ye Jehovah, sun and moon glorify Him, all ye stars of light glorify Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens (Psalms 148:3-4).

[3] In all these passages, “luminaries” signify love and faith. It was because “luminaries” represented and signified love and faith toward the Lord that it was ordained in the Jewish Church that a perpetual luminary should be kept burning from evening till morning, for every ordinance in that church was representative of the Lord. Of this luminary it is written:

Command the sons of Israel that they take oil for the luminary, to cause the lamp to ascend continually: in the tabernacle of the congregation without the veil, which is before the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening even until morning, before Jehovah (Exodus 27:20-21).

That these things signify love and faith, which the Lord kindles and causes to give light in the internal man, and through the internal man in the external, will of the Lord’s Divine mercy be shown in its proper place.

Genesis 1

Studie

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, one day.

6 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

8 God called the expanse "sky." There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

9 God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.

10 God called the dry land "earth," and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.

11 God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth;" and it was so.

12 The earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth;" and it was so.

16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

20 God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky."

21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

22 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

24 God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so.

25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

27 God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
