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.

1468. 'That he said to Sarai his wife' means that He thought in the following way about truths to which celestial things were allied. This is clear from the meaning of 'Sarai' when she is called 'a wife'. In the internal sense of the Word 'a wife' means nothing other than truth joined to good, for truth joined to good is altogether like a marriage. When the noun 'husband' (maritus) is used in the Word it means good and 'wife' means truth. But when instead of this another noun for 'husband' (vir) is used, it in that case means truth, and 'wife' means good; and this is a consistent usage in the Word, as also stated already in 915. Since 'Abram' has been mentioned by name in this passage, 'Sarai his wife' means truth. Thus the meaning of 'he said to Sarai his wife' is in the internal sense that He thought in the following way about truths to which celestial things were allied. It is true historically that when he travelled into Egypt Abram spoke to his wife in this way; but, as has been stated, all the historical events recorded in the Word are representative and every word carries a spiritual meaning. No other historical details have been brought in, and those that have are not presented in any other sequence, nor expressed in any other words than such as in the internal sense may express these arcana.

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.
