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.

2913. 'And spoke to the sons of Heth, saying' means those with whom a new spiritual Church was to exist. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'Heth' and of Hittite. Many were the nations inhabiting the land of Canaan who are mentioned one by one in various places in the Word, among them the Hittites, see Genesis 15:20; Exodus 3:8, 17; 13:5; 23:23; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 11:1, 3; 12:8; 24:11; 1 Kings 9:20; and elsewhere. Most of them belonged to the Ancient Church which was spread through many lands, including the land of Canaan, see 1238, 2385. All who belonged to that Church acknowledged charity as the chief thing, and everything they taught was about charity or life. People who cultivated teachings about faith were called Canaanites and were separate from the rest of the inhabitants in the land of Canaan, Numbers 13:29 - see 1062, 1063, 1076.

[2] The Hittites belonged among those in the land of Canaan who were more acceptable. This is also made clear by the fact that Abraham, and subsequently Isaac and Jacob, dwelt among them and had a burial-place there, and also by the fact that they treated Abraham with greatest respect, as is quite clear from what is recorded about them in this chapter, especially verses 5-6, 10-11, 14-15. Since they were an upright nation they therefore represent and mean the spiritual Church, or the truth of the Church. But it happened that like all the others who belonged to the Ancient Church the Hittites fell away in the course of time from charity or good that goes with faith; and this explains why later on they mean the falsity of the Church, as in Ezekiel 16:3, 45, and elsewhere. Yet the Hittites did belong among those who were more honourable, as may be seen from the fact that David had Hittites with him, such as Ahimelech, 1 Samuel 26:6, and Uriah, who was a Hittite, 2 Samuel 11:3, 6, 17, 21 - by whose wife Bathsheba David begot Solomon, 2 Samuel 12:24. 'Heth' means exterior cognitions that have regard to life and which constitute the external truths of the spiritual Church, 1 see 1203.

[3] The subject in the present verse is a new Church which the Lord establishes when the previous one breathes its last, and in the verses which follow the subject is the reception of faith among those people. The subject is not some particular Church among the sons of Heth but in general the re-establishment by the Lord of a spiritual Church after its predecessor fades away and approaches its end. The sons of Heth are simply those who represent and carry a spiritual meaning. Please see what has been stated already about Churches in the following places:

In course of time a Church goes into decline and decay, 494, 501, 1327, 2422.

It departs from charity, and brings forth evils and falsities, 1834, 1835.

At that point the Church is said to be vastated and made desolate, 407-411, 2243.

The Church is established among gentiles; the reason why, 1366.

Within a Church undergoing vastation something of the Church is always preserved as a nucleus, 468, 637, 931, 2422.

If the Church did not exist in the world the human race would perish, ibid.

The Church is like the heart and lungs in that vast body, of which every member of the human race is a part, 637, 931, 2054, 2853.

The nature of the spiritual Church, 765, 2669.

Charity constitutes the Church, not faith separated from charity, 809, 916.

If all possessed charity the Church would be one even though they differ in matters of doctrine and in forms of worship, 1285, 1316, 1798, 1799, 1834, 1844, 2385.

All people on earth who belong to the Lord's Church, though they are scattered throughout the entire world, still so to speak make a single whole, as is the case in heaven, 2853.

Every Church is internal and external, and both together constitute a single Church, 409, 1083, 1098, 1100, 1242.

The external Church is valueless if there is no internal Church, 1795.

The Church is compared to the rise and the setting of the sun, to the seasons of the year, and also to the periods of the day, 1837.

The Last Judgement is the final period of the Church, 900, 931, 1850, 2117, 2118.
