Бытие 1

Studie

1 Въ началј Богъ сотворилъ небеса и землю.

2 Но земля была не образована и пуста, и тьма надъ бездною, и Духъ Божій носился надъ водами.

3 И сказалъ Богъ: да будетъ свјтъ; и сталъ свјтъ.

4 Богъ увидјлъ, что свјтъ хорошъ; и отдјлилъ Богъ свјтъ отъ тьмы.

5 И назвалъ Богъ свјтъ днемъ, а тьму назвалъ ночью. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день одинъ.

6 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да будетъ твердь посреди водъ; и да отдјляетъ она воды отъ водъ.

7 И создалъ Богъ твердь; и отдјлилъ воды, которыя подъ твердію, отъ водъ, которыя надъ твердію: и стало такъ.

8 И назвалъ Богъ твердь небомъ. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день вторый.

9 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да соберутся воды подъ небесами въ одно мјсто: и да явится суша: и стало такъ.

10 И назвалъ Богъ сушу землею, а собраніе водъ назвалъ моремъ: и увидјлъ Богъ, что это хорошо.

11 И сказалъ Богъ: да произраститъ земля зелень, траву, сјющую сјмя, дерева плодовитыя, приносящія по роду своему плодъ, въ которомъ сјмя ихъ на землј: и стало такъ.

12 И произвела земля зелень, сјющую сјмя по роду ея, и дерева приносящія плодъ, въ которомъ сјмя ихъ по роду ихъ. И Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

13 И былъ вечеръ и было утро: день третій.

14 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да будутъ свјтила на тверди небесной, для отдјленія дня отъ ночи, и для знаменій, и временъ, и дней и годовъ;

15 и да будутъ они свјтильниками на тверди небесной, чтобы свјтить на землю: и стало такъ.

16 И создалъ Богъ два свјтила великія: свјтило большое для управленія днемъ, и свјтило меньшое для управленія ночью, и звјзды:

17 и поставилъ ихъ Богъ на тверди небесной, чтобы свјтили на землю.

18 И чтобы управляли днемъ и ночью, и чтобы отдјляли свјтъ отъ тьмы. И Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

19 И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день четвертый.

20 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да породятъ воды пресмыкающихся, души живыя; и птицы да полетятъ надъ землею по тверди небесной.

21 И сотворилъ Богъ большія морскія чудовища, и всякія животныя, живыя пресмыкающіяся, которыя породили воды, по роду ихъ, и всјхъ птицъ пернатыхъ, по роду ихъ: и Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

22 И благословилъ ихъ Богъ, говоря: плодитесь и размножайтесь и наполняйте воды въ моряхъ, и птицы да размножаются на землј.

23 И былъ вечеръ и было утро: день пятый.

24 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да произведетъ земля животныя живыя по роду ихъ, скотъ и гадовъ, и звјрей земпыхъ по роду ихъ: и стало такъ.

25 И создалъ Богъ звјрей земныхъ по роду ихъ, и скотъ по роду его, и всјхъ гадовъ земныхъ по роду ихъ: и увидјлъ Богъ, что это хорошо.

26 И сказалъ Богъ: сотворимъ человјка по образу Нашему, по подобію Нашему; и да владычествуютъ они надъ рыбами морскими, н надъ птицами небесными, и падъ скотомъ, и надъ всею землею, и надъ всјми гадами, пресмыкающимися по землј.

27 И сотворилъ Богъ человјка по образу Своему, по образу Божію сотворилъ его, мущину и женщину сотворилъ ихъ.

28 И Богъ благословилъ ихъ, и сказалъ имъ Богъ: плодитесь и размножайтесь, и наполняйте землю, и обладайте ею, и владычествуйте надъ рыбами морскими, и надъ птицами небесными, и надъ всякимъ животнымъ пресмыкающимся по землј.

29 И сказалъ Богъ: се, Я даю вамъ всякую траву сјющую сјмя, какая есть на всей землј, и всякое дерево, отъ котораго есть плодъ древесный, сјющій сјмя; вамъ сіе да будетъ въ пищу.

30 И всјмъ звјрямъ земнымъ и всјмъ птицамъ небеснымъ и всякому пресмыкающемуся по землј, въ которомъ есть душа живая, даю Я всю зеленјющую траву въ пищу: и стало такъ.

31 И увидјлъ Богъ все, что ни создалъ, и вотъ, весьма хорошо. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день шестый.

3235. 'Abraham took another wife' means a further state which the Lord, whom Abraham represents, passed through - for 'Abraham and Sarah' represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, 'Abraham and Keturah' the Lord as regards the Divine Spiritual. This is clear from what has been stated and shown so far about Abraham and his wife Sarah, and from what is recorded here about Abraham and Keturah. But as it is said that Abraham here represents a further state which the Lord passed through, and that Abraham and Sarah represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, whereas Abraham and Keturah did so as regards the Divine Spiritual, one needs to know what is meant by the Divine Celestial and by the Divine Spiritual. The Divine Celestial and the Divine Spiritual have to do with those people who receive the Lord's Divine, for the Lord is seen by everyone according to the character of the recipient, as becomes clear from what has been stated in 1838, 1861, and is quite evident from the fact that the Lord appears to celestial people in one way but to spiritual in another. For He appears as the sun to those who are celestial, but as the moon to those who are spiritual, 1529-1531, 1838. The Lord appears to celestial people as the sun because in them celestial love, which is love to the Lord, is present, but to spiritual people as the moon because in these spiritual love, which is charity towards the neighbour, is present. The difference is like that between the light of the sun during the daytime and the light of the moon at night, and also between the warmth of both which causes things in the ground to grow. These are what were meant in Genesis 1 by the words,

And God made the two great Lights, the greater Light to have dominion over the day, and the lesser Light to have dominion over the night. Genesis 1:16.

[2] The Lord's kingdom is in general celestial and spiritual, that is, it consists of those who are celestial and of those who are spiritual. And because the Lord's Divine appears to those who are celestial as being celestial, but to those who are spiritual as being spiritual, it is therefore said that Abraham and Sarah represented the Lord as regards the Divine Celestial, but Abraham and Keturah as regards the Divine Spiritual. But as scarcely anyone knows what the celestial is or what the spiritual, and who they are who are celestial or spiritual, please see what has been stated and shown about them already in the following places:

What the celestial is and what the spiritual, 1155, 1577, 1824, 2048, 2184, 2227, 2507.

Who celestial people are and who spiritual, 2088, 2669, 2708, 2715.

The celestial man is a likeness of the Lord and does good from love, whereas the spiritual man is an image of the Lord and does it from faith, 50-52, 1013.

Those who are celestial perceive truth from good and never indulge in reasoning about it, 202, 337, 607, 895, 1121, 2715.

With the celestial man good is implanted in the will part of his mind, but with the spiritual man in the understanding part, within which, in the case of those who are spiritual, a new will is created, 863, 875, 895, 897, 927, 1023, 1043, 1044, 2256.

From good itself those who are celestial see things without limit, but those who are spiritual, because they reason whether a thing is so, cannot reach even the furthest limit to which the light that the celestial have spreads, 2718.

Compared with those who are celestial those who are spiritual dwell in obscurity, 1043, 2708, 2715.

The Lord came into the world to save those who are spiritual, 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.
