Genesis 2

Studie

   

1 και συνετελεσθησαν ο ουρανος και η γη και πας ο κοσμος αυτων

2 και συνετελεσεν ο θεος εν τη ημερα τη εκτη τα εργα αυτου α εποιησεν και κατεπαυσεν τη ημερα τη εβδομη απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων εποιησεν

3 και ηυλογησεν ο θεος την ημεραν την εβδομην και ηγιασεν αυτην οτι εν αυτη κατεπαυσεν απο παντων των εργων αυτου ων ηρξατο ο θεος ποιησαι

4 αυτη η βιβλος γενεσεως ουρανου και γης οτε εγενετο η ημερα εποιησεν ο θεος τον ουρανον και την γην

5 και παν χλωρον αγρου προ του γενεσθαι επι της γης και παντα χορτον αγρου προ του ανατειλαι ου γαρ εβρεξεν ο θεος επι την γην και ανθρωπος ουκ ην εργαζεσθαι την γην

6 πηγη δε ανεβαινεν εκ της γης και εποτιζεν παν το προσωπον της γης

7 και επλασεν ο θεος τον ανθρωπον χουν απο της γης και ενεφυσησεν εις το προσωπον αυτου πνοην ζωης και εγενετο ο ανθρωπος εις ψυχην ζωσαν

8 και εφυτευσεν κυριος ο θεος παραδεισον εν εδεμ κατα ανατολας και εθετο εκει τον ανθρωπον ον επλασεν

9 και εξανετειλεν ο θεος ετι εκ της γης παν ξυλον ωραιον εις ορασιν και καλον εις βρωσιν και το ξυλον της ζωης εν μεσω τω παραδεισω και το ξυλον του ειδεναι γνωστον καλου και πονηρου

10 ποταμος δε εκπορευεται εξ εδεμ ποτιζειν τον παραδεισον εκειθεν αφοριζεται εις τεσσαρας αρχας

11 ονομα τω ενι φισων ουτος ο κυκλων πασαν την γην ευιλατ εκει ου εστιν το χρυσιον

12 το δε χρυσιον της γης εκεινης καλον και εκει εστιν ο ανθραξ και ο λιθος ο πρασινος

13 και ονομα τω ποταμω τω δευτερω γηων ουτος ο κυκλων πασαν την γην αιθιοπιας

14 και ο ποταμος ο τριτος τιγρις ουτος ο πορευομενος κατεναντι ασσυριων ο δε ποταμος ο τεταρτος ουτος ευφρατης

15 και ελαβεν κυριος ο θεος τον ανθρωπον ον επλασεν και εθετο αυτον εν τω παραδεισω εργαζεσθαι αυτον και φυλασσειν

16 και ενετειλατο κυριος ο θεος τω αδαμ λεγων απο παντος ξυλου του εν τω παραδεισω βρωσει φαγη

17 απο δε του ξυλου του γινωσκειν καλον και πονηρον ου φαγεσθε απ' αυτου η δ' αν ημερα φαγητε απ' αυτου θανατω αποθανεισθε

18 και ειπεν κυριος ο θεος ου καλον ειναι τον ανθρωπον μονον ποιησωμεν αυτω βοηθον κατ' αυτον

19 και επλασεν ο θεος ετι εκ της γης παντα τα θηρια του αγρου και παντα τα πετεινα του ουρανου και ηγαγεν αυτα προς τον αδαμ ιδειν τι καλεσει αυτα και παν ο εαν εκαλεσεν αυτο αδαμ ψυχην ζωσαν τουτο ονομα αυτου

20 και εκαλεσεν αδαμ ονοματα πασιν τοις κτηνεσιν και πασι τοις πετεινοις του ουρανου και πασι τοις θηριοις του αγρου τω δε αδαμ ουχ ευρεθη βοηθος ομοιος αυτω

21 και επεβαλεν ο θεος εκστασιν επι τον αδαμ και υπνωσεν και ελαβεν μιαν των πλευρων αυτου και ανεπληρωσεν σαρκα αντ' αυτης

22 και ωκοδομησεν κυριος ο θεος την πλευραν ην ελαβεν απο του αδαμ εις γυναικα και ηγαγεν αυτην προς τον αδαμ

23 και ειπεν αδαμ τουτο νυν οστουν εκ των οστεων μου και σαρξ εκ της σαρκος μου αυτη κληθησεται γυνη οτι εκ του ανδρος αυτης ελημφθη αυτη

24 ενεκεν τουτου καταλειψει ανθρωπος τον πατερα αυτου και την μητερα αυτου και προσκολληθησεται προς την γυναικα αυτου και εσονται οι δυο εις σαρκα μιαν

25 και ησαν οι δυο γυμνοι ο τε αδαμ και η γυνη αυτου και ουκ ησχυνοντο

852. 'The seventh month' means that which is holy. This is abundantly clear from what has been shown already in 84-87, 395, 716. This holiness corresponds here to what was said at Chapter 2:3 about the celestial man, that 'the seventh day was made holy because God rested on that day'.

Arcana Coelestia # 395

395. 'Anyone killing Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold' means that to violate faith thus separated was utterly forbidden. This is clear from the meaning of 'Cain' as separated faith, and from the meaning of 'seven' as utterly inviolable. As is well known, the number seven was considered holy on account of the six days of creation and of the seventh, which is the celestial man in whom peace, rest, and the Sabbath exist. This is the reason why the number seven occurs so many times in the religious ceremonies of the Jewish Church, in every instance standing for that which is holy. It is also the reason why periods of time, long as well as short, were divided into seven, and were called weeks, as in the case of the long time intervals leading up to the time when the Messiah was to come, Daniel 9:24-25. A period of seven years is also called a week by Laban and Jacob, Genesis 29:27-28. Consequently wherever the number seven occurs it stands either for something holy or else for something utterly inviolable, as in David,

Seven times in the day I praise You. Psalms 119:164.

In Isaiah,

The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days. Isaiah 30:26.

Here 'the sun' is love, and 'the moon' faith deriving from love, a faith which is to be as love.

[2] Just as the periods of man's regeneration divide into six before he reaches the seventh, which is the celestial man, so also do the periods of vastation even until nothing celestial is left. This was represented by the many captivities of the Jews, and by the last of them, the Babylonian, which was a captivity of seven decades, that is, seventy years. And it was several times stated that the land had to rest during its Sabbaths. It was also represented by Nebuchadnezzar, of whom it is said in Daniel,

His heart will be changed from man, and the heart of a beast given him until seven times will pass over him. Daniel 4:16, 25, 32.

In reference to the vastation of the last times it is recorded in John,

I saw another sign in heaven, great and wonderful - seven angels holding the seven Revelation 15:1, 6-7.

They will trample over the holy city for forty-two months (that is, six times seven). Revelation 11:2.

In the same book,

I saw a book [written] within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. Revelation 5:1.

Severe and increased penalties were for the same reason expressed by the number seven, as in Moses,

If you will not obey Me in this matter, I will chastise you seven times worse for your sins. Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28.

In David,

Return to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom. Psalms 79:12.

So then, it is because it was utterly forbidden to violate faith - since it had a use to serve, as has been stated - that the statement is made about 'vengeance being taken sevenfold on him who killed Cain'.
