Genesis 12

Studie

   

1 Viešpats tarė Abromui: “Palik savo šalį, gimines, tėvų namus ir eik į kraštą, kurį tau parodysiu.

2 Aš padarysiu tave didele tauta, tave laiminsiu ir padarysiu tavo vardą garsų; ir tu būsi palaiminimu.

3 Aš laiminsiu tuos, kurie tave laimina, ir prakeiksiu tuos, kurie tave keikia, ir tavyje bus palaimintos visos žemės giminės”.

4 Abromas iškeliavo, kaip Viešpats jam pasakė. Su juo drauge išėjo Lotas. Abromas buvo septyniasdešimt penkerių metų, kai jis išėjo iš Charano.

5 Abromas paėmė savo žmoną Sarają, brolio sūnų Lotą, visą turtą, kurį jie turėjo, žmones, kuriuos buvo įsigijęs Charane, ir išėjo į Kanaano šalį. Atėjęs į tą kraštą,

6 Abromas pasiekė Sichemo vietovę, Morės slėnį. Tuo laiku toje šalyje gyveno kanaaniečiai.

7 Ten Viešpats pasirodė Abromui ir tarė: “Tavo palikuonims duosiu šitą šalį”. Jis ten pastatė aukurą Viešpačiui, kuris jam pasirodė.

8 Iš ten jis keliavo į rytus nuo Betelio ir pasistatė palapinę. Betelis buvo vakaruose, Ajas­rytuose. Ten jis pastatė aukurą Viešpačiui ir šaukėsi Viešpaties vardo.

9 Abromas keliavo vis toliau į pietus.

10 Kilus badui toje šalyje, Abromas nuvyko pagyventi į Egiptą, nes šalyje buvo didelis badas.

11 Jiems priartėjus prie Egipto, jis tarė savo žmonai Sarajai: “Aš žinau, kad tu esi graži moteris

12 ir tave pamatę egiptiečiai sakys: ‘Ši yra jo žmona’. Tada jie užmuš mane, o tave pasilaikys.

13 Sakyk tad, jog esi mano sesuo, kad man gerai būtų dėl tavęs ir išlikčiau gyvas tavo dėka”.

14 Atsitiko, kad, kai tik Abromas įėjo į Egiptą, egiptiečiai pastebėjo, jog moteris labai graži.

15 Ją pamatę, faraono kunigaikščiai kalbėjo apie jos grožį faraonui. Moteris tuojau buvo paimta į faraono namus,

16 o su Abromu jis gerai elgėsi dėl jos: jis turėjo avių, galvijų, asilų, tarnų, tarnaičių, asilių ir kupranugarių.

17 Viešpats baudė faraoną ir jo namus dėl Sarajos, Abromo žmonos.

18 Faraonas tada pasišaukė Abromą ir tarė: “Ką tu man padarei? Kodėl man nesakei, kad ji tavo žmona?

19 Kodėl sakei, kad ji tavo sesuo? Aš norėjau paimti ją sau už žmoną. Taigi štai tavo žmona, imk ją ir keliauk savo keliais”.

20 Faraonas įsakė savo žmonėms palydėti jį, jo žmoną ir visa, ką jis turėjo.

1450. 'He removed from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel' means the Lord's fourth state when He was a boy. This becomes clear from what comes before and after, thus also from the train of thought itself, namely this: The Lord had first of all to be endowed from infancy with the celestial things of love - the celestial things of love consisting in love towards Jehovah and love towards the neighbour, and in innocence itself present in those loves. From these, as from the very sources of life, flows every single thing, for all other things are simply derivatives. These celestial things are implanted in a person chiefly in the state of infancy through to childhood, and in fact independently of cognitions; for they flow in from the Lord and stir that person with affection before he knows what love is or what affection is, as the infant state shows, and after that the state of early childhood. Those things with man are the 'remnants' that have been referred to several times which are implanted by the Lord and stored away for use in his later life. For these matters, see 468, 530, 560, 561, 660, 661. Since the Lord was born as any other is born, He too was introduced according to order into celestial things, step by step from infancy on into childhood, and after that into cognitions. These things as experienced by the Lord are described in the present verse, and represented in those that follow by Abram's sojourning in Egypt.

Genesis 12

Studie

   

1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.

6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.

7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your seed." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.

8 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.

9 Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

11 It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

12 It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you."

14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way."

20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they brought him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
