Бытие 11

Studie

   

1 Вся земля говорила однимъ языкомъ и однимъ нарјчіемъ.

2 И случилось, что люди, двигнувшись съ Востока, нашли въ землј Сеннааръ равнину и поселились тамъ.

3 И сказали другъ другу: надјлаемъ кирпичей, и обозжемъ огнемъ. Такимъ образомъ кирпичи были у нихъ вмјсто камней, а земляная смола вмјсто извести.

4 Далје они сказали: построимъ себј городъ и башню, высотою до небесъ; и сдјлаемъ себј имя, чтобы намъ не разсјяться по лицу всея земля.

5 Но Іегова сошелъ посмотрјть городъ и башню, которые строили сыны человјческіе.

6 И сказалъ Іегова: вотъ одинъ народъ и одинъ у всјхъ языкъ; и вотъ что начали они дјлать, и не будетъ у нихъ остановки ни въ чемъ, что они вздумали дјлать.

7 Пойдемъ же, и смјшаемъ тамъ языкъ ихъ такъ, чтобы одинъ не понималъ рјчи другаго.

8 Тогда Іегова разсјялъ ихъ оттуда по всей землј; и они перестали строить городъ.

9 Посему дано имя ему Вавилонъ; ибо тамъ смјшалъ Іегова языкъ всей земли, и оттуда разсјялъ ихъ Іегова но всей землј.

10 Вотъ родословіе Сима. Симъ былъ ста лјтъ отъ рожденія, когда родилъ Арфаксада, чрезъ два года послј потопа.

27 Вотъ родословіе Ѕарры. Ѕарра родилъ Аврама, Нахора и Аррана. Арранъ родилъ Лота.

28 И умеръ Арранъ предъ лицемъ Ѕарры, отца своего, въ землј рожденія своего, въ Урј городј Халдейскомъ.

29 Аврамъ и Нахоръ взяли себј женъ; имя жены Аврамовой: Сара, а имя жены Нахоровой Милка, дочь Аррана, отца Милки и отца Иски.

30 Сара же была неплодна и бездјтна.

31 И взялъ Ѕарра Аврама, сына своего, и Лота, сына Арранова, внука своего, и Сару невјстку свою, жену Аврама сына своего, и вышелъ съ ними изъ Ура Халдейскаго, чтобъ идти въ землю Ханаанскую: но дошедши до Харрана, они остановились тамъ.

32 И бьыо дней житія Ѕаррина двјсти пять лјтъ, и умеръ Ѕарра въ Харранј.

1366. And Haran died upon the faces of Terah his father, in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees. That this signifies that interior worship was blotted out and became merely idolatrous, is evident from the signification of “Haran,” of “Terah,” of “nativity,” and of “Ur of the Chaldees;” and also from its being said that he “died upon the faces of Terah his father.” As regards the fact that interior worship was blotted out, or that there came to be none, the case is this. The church cannot come forth anew among any nation until it has been so vastated that nothing of evil and falsity remains in its internal worship. So long as there is evil in its internal worship, the things that are good and true, which constitute its internal worship, are impeded; for so long as evils and falsities are present, goods and truths cannot be received. This may be seen from the fact that they who have been born in any heresy, and have so confirmed themselves in its falsities that they are entirely persuaded, can with difficulty, if ever, be brought to receive the truths which are contrary to their falsities. But with Gentiles who do not know what is the truth of faith, and yet live in charity, the case is different. This was the reason why the Lord’s church could not be restored among the Jews, but among Gentiles who had no knowledges of faith. The former, by their falsities, entirely darken and thus extinguish the light of truth; but the Gentiles not so much, for they do not know what is the truth of faith; and what they do not know they cannot darken and extinguish.

[2] As a new church was now to be restored, 1 those were taken to form it with whom goods and truths could be implanted, being those with whom all knowledge of the good and of the truth of faith had been blotted out, and who, like the Gentiles, had become external idolaters. As regards Terah and Abram, it has been shown above that they were of this character, that is to say, they worshiped other gods, and had no knowledge of Jehovah, nor consequently of what is the good and the truth of faith. They had thus become better fitted to receive the seed of truth than others in Syria among whom knowledges as yet remained. That they did remain with some is evident from Balaam, who was from Syria, and who not only worshiped Jehovah, but also offered sacrifice, and was at the same time a prophet. These therefore are the things contained in this verse, namely, that interior worship had been blotted out and had become merely idolatrous.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. As Swedenborg all through his theological Writings speaks of “restoring” (restaurare) and “renewing” (instaurare) a new church, he may have had a special reason for this seeming solecism. [REVISER.]
