Gênesis 2

Studie

   

1 Assim foram acabados os céus e a terra, com todo o seu exército.

2 Ora, havendo Deus completado no dia sétimo a obra que tinha feito, descansou nesse dia de toda a obra que fizera.

3 Abençoou Deus o sétimo dia, e o santificou; porque nele descansou de toda a sua obra que criara e fizera.

4 Eis as origens dos céus e da terra, quando foram criados. No dia em que o Senhor Deus fez a terra e os céus

5 não havia ainda nenhuma planta do campo na terra, pois nenhuma erva do campo tinha ainda brotado; porque o Senhor Deus não tinha feito chover sobre a terra, nem havia homem para lavrar a terra.

6 Um vapor, porém, subia da terra, e regava toda a face da terra.

7 E formou o Senhor Deus o homem do pó da terra, e soprou-lhe nas narinas o fôlego da vida; e o homem tornou-se alma vivente.

8 Então plantou o Senhor Deus um jardim, da banda do oriente, no Éden; e pôs ali o homem que tinha formado.

9 E o Senhor Deus fez brotar da terra toda qualidade de árvores agradáveis à vista e boas para comida, bem como a árvore da vida no meio do jardim, e a árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal.

10 E saía um rio do Éden para regar o jardim; e dali se dividia e se tornava em quatro braços.

11 O nome do primeiro é Pisom: este é o que rodeia toda a terra de Havilá, onde há ouro;

12 e o ouro dessa terra é bom: ali há o bdélio, e a pedra de berilo.

13 O nome do segundo rio é Giom: este é o que rodeia toda a terra de Cuche.

14 O nome do terceiro rio é Tigre: este é o que corre pelo oriente da Assíria. E o quarto rio é o Eufrates.

15 Tomou, pois, o Senhor Deus o homem, e o pôs no jardim do Édem para o lavrar e guardar.

16 Ordenou o Senhor Deus ao homem, dizendo: De toda árvore do jardim podes comer livremente;

17 mas da árvore do conhecimento do bem e do mal, dessa não comerás; porque no dia em que dela comeres, certamente morrerás.

18 Disse mais o Senhor Deus: Não é bom que o homem esteja só; far-lhe-ei uma ajudadora que lhe seja idônea.

19 Da terra formou, pois, o Senhor Deus todos os animais o campo e todas as aves do céu, e os trouxe ao homem, para ver como lhes chamaria; e tudo o que o homem chamou a todo ser vivente, isso foi o seu nome.

20 Assim o homem deu nomes a todos os animais domésticos, às aves do céu e a todos os animais do campo; mas para o homem não se achava ajudadora idônea.

21 Então o Senhor Deus fez cair um sono pesado sobre o homem, e este adormeceu; tomou-lhe, então, uma das costelas, e fechou a carne em seu lugar;

22 e da costela que o senhor Deus lhe tomara, formou a mulher e a trouxe ao homem.

23 Então disse o homem: Esta é agora osso dos meus ossos, e carne da minha carne; ela será chamada varoa, porquanto do varão foi tomada.

24 Portanto deixará o homem a seu pai e a sua mãe, e unir-se-á à sua mulher, e serão uma só carne.

25 E ambos estavam nus, o homem e sua mulher; e não se envergonhavam.

144. As to 'calling by name' meaning recognizing their nature, it must be realized that the ancients understood nothing else by 'a name than the essential nature of a real thing, and by 'seeing and calling them by name' recognizing the nature of such. This was why they gave their sons and daughters names in keeping with the things that were meant by them; for there was something unique to every name, as a means of knowing the origin and nature of those children, as will also be seen later on where, in the Lord's Divine mercy, the twelve sons of Jacob are dealt with. Since therefore a name embodied a person's origin and nature nothing else was meant by 'calling by name'. This manner of speaking was customary among them; but anyone who does not understand is sure to wonder whether they do have these meanings.

Genesis 2

Studie

   

1 The heavens and the earth were finished, and all their vast array.

2 On the seventh day God finished his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 God blessed the seventh day, and made it holy, because he rested in it from all his work which he had created and made.

4 This is the history of the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh God made the earth and the heavens.

5 No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

6 but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.

7 Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

8 Yahweh God planted a garden eastward, in Eden, and there he put the man whom he had formed.

9 Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the middle of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

10 A river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it was parted, and became four heads.

11 The name of the first is Pishon: this is the one which flows through the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;

12 and the gold of that land is good. There is aromatic resin and the onyx stone.

13 The name of the second river is Gihon: the same river that flows through the whole land of Cush.

14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel: this is the one which flows in front of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.

15 Yahweh God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

16 Yahweh God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat;

17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat of it; for in the day that you eat of it you will surely die."

18 Yahweh God said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him."

19 Out of the ground Yahweh God formed every animal of the field, and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. Whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name.

20 The man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the sky, and to every animal of the field; but for man there was not found a helper suitable for him.

21 Yahweh God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and he slept; and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

22 He made the rib, which Yahweh God had taken from the man, into a woman, and brought her to the man.

23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She will be called 'woman,' because she was taken out of man."

24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh.

25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
