Бытие 15

1 Послј сихъ происшествій, было слово Іеговы къ Авраму въ видјніи, и сказано: не бойся, Аврамъ; Я твой щитъ; награда твоя весьма велика.

2 Аврамъ сказалъ: Господи Іегова! что Ты дашь мнј? я отхожу бездјтенъ; за домоиъ моимъ смотритъ этотъ Эліезеръ изъ Дамаска.

3 И сказалъ Аврамъ: вотъ Ты не далъ мнј дјтей; и вотъ домочадецъ мой будетъ моимъ наслјдникомъ.

4 И се слово Іеговы къ нему, и сказано: не будетъ онъ твоимъ наслјдникомъ; но тотъ, кто произойдетъ изъ чреслъ твоихъ, будетъ твоимъ наслјдникомъ.

5 И вывелъ его на дворъ и сказалъ: посмотри на небеса, и сочти звјзды; можешь ли ты счесть ихъ? И сказалъ ему: столько будетъ у тебя потомковъ.

6 Аврамъ повјрилъ Іеговј; и Онъ вмјнилъ ему сіе въ праведность.

7 И сказалъ ему: Я Іегова, Который вывелъ тебя изъ Ура Халдейскаго, чтобы дать тебј землю сію въ наслјдіе.

8 Онъ сказалъ: Господи Іегова! почему мнј узнать, что я долженъ ее наслјдовать?

9 Іегова отвјтствовалъ ему: возми Мнј трилјтнюю телицу, трилјтнюю козу, трилјтняго овна, горлицу и молодаго голубя.

10 И взялъ онъ всјхъ ихъ, и разсјкъ ихъ пополамъ, и положилъ одну часть противъ другой, только птицъ не разсјкъ.

11 И налетјли на трупы хищныя птицы: но Аврамъ отгонялъ ихъ.

12 При захожденіи солнца, сонъ напалъ на Аврама; и се, нашелъ на него ужасъ и мракъ великій.

13 Тогда сказано Авраму: знай, что потомки твои будутъ пришельцами въ землј чужой; и будутъ въ порабощеніи и въ угнетеніи четыреста лјтъ.

14 Но Я произведу судъ надъ народомъ, у котораго они будутъ въ порабощеніи; послј сего они выдутъ съ великимъ богатствомъ.

15 А ты отъидешь къ отцамъ своимъ въ мирј, будешь погребенъ въ старости доброй.

16 Въ четвертомъ родј возвратятся они сюда: ибо нынј мјра беззаконія Аморрейскаго еще не наполнилась.

17 Наконецъ зашло солнце и наступилъ мракъ; и се, дымъ какъ бы изъ пещи, и свјтильникъ огненный, который прошелъ между разсјченными животными.

18 Въ сей день заключилъ Іегова завјтъ съ Аврамомъ, сказавъ: потомству твоему даю Я землю сію, отъ рјки Египетской до великой рјки Евфрата:

19 Кенеевъ, Кенезеевъ, Кедмонеевъ,

20 Хеттеевъ, Ферезеевъ, Рефаимовъ,

21 Аморреевъ, Хананеевъ, Гергесеевъ и Іевусеевъ.

1807. 'And he said, Look, now, towards heaven' means a representation of the Lord's kingdom in a mental view of the universe. This is clear from the meaning of 'heaven'. In the internal sense of the Word 'heaven' does not mean the sky that is seen with the eyes but the Lord's kingdom in general and in particular. When a person who regards internal things from external sees the sky he does not think at all of the starry sky but of the angelic heaven. And when he sees the sun, he does not think about the sun but about the Lord's being the Sun of heaven. The same applies when he sees the moon, and also the stars. And so when he sees the boundlessness of the sky he does not think about the boundlessness of this but about the Lord's boundless and infinite power. And the same goes for everything else he sees, for there is nothing that is not representative.

[2] It is the same with the things belonging to the earth. When, for example, such a person sees the dawning of the day he does not think of the dawn but of the rise of all things from the Lord, and of advancement into the daylight of wisdom. Similarly when he sees cultivated gardens, trees, and flowers, his eye is not fixed on any tree and on its blossom, leaf, and fruit, but on the heavenly things which these represent. Nor is it fixed on any flower and its beauty and loveliness but on those things which these represent in the next life. For not one thing of beauty and delight ever exists in the sky above or on earth beneath that is not in some respect representative of the Lord's kingdom; see what has been stated in 1632. Such is the 'looking towards heaven' which means a representation of the Lord's kingdom in a mental view of the universe.

[3] The reason why every single thing in the sky above and on the earth beneath is representative is that it has come into being, and is constantly coming into being, that is, is kept in being, from the influx of the Lord through heaven. It is as it is with the human body, which comes into being and is kept in being by means of its soul, for which reason every single thing in the body is representative of the soul. Inherent in the soul there are use and end in view, but in the body the accomplishment of these. All effects, without exception, are in the same way representatives of the uses which are the causes behind those effects, while the uses are representative of the ends which constitute first beginnings.

[4] People whose concern is for Divine ideas never dwell on the objects of external sight, but from and in those objects they are continually seeing internal things. The most internal things of all are those that constitute the Lord's kingdom, and thus are those which consist in the greatest of all ends. It is similar with the Word of the Lord. The person whose concern is for Divine ideas never regards the Word of the Lord from the letter, but regards the letter and the literal sense as that which represents and means the celestial and spiritual things of the Church and of the Lord's kingdom. To that person the literal sense exists solely as the means which enable him to think about these. Such was the nature of the Lord's sight.
