Бытие 15

Studie

   

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.

1803. But he that shall go forth out of thy bowels. That this signifies those who are in love to the Lord and in love toward the neighbor, is evident from the signification of “bowels,” and of “going forth out of the bowels,” which is to be born; and here it means those who are being born of the Lord. They who are being born of the Lord, that is, who are being regenerated, receive the Lord’s life. The Lord’s life, as before said, is the Divine love, that is, love toward the whole human race; or His will to eternally save, if possible, the whole of it, or all men. They who have not the Lord’s love, that is, who do not love the neighbor as themselves, never have the Lord’s life, and therefore are never born of Him, that is, have not “come forth out of His bowels;” and therefore they cannot be heirs of His kingdom.

[2] From which it is evident that by “to go forth out of the bowels,” in the internal sense, are here signified those that are in love to Him and in love toward the neighbor. So in Isaiah:

Thus said Jehovah thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee in the way that thou shouldest walk. Oh that thou hadst hearkened to My commandments, and thy peace had been as a river, and thy righteousness as the billows of the sea, and thy seed had been as the sand, and those who go forth out of thy bowels as the gravel thereof (Isaiah 48:17-19).

The “seed as the sand,” denotes good; and “those who go forth out of the bowels as the gravel,” truth; thus those who have love, for these alone are in the love of good and truth.

[3] Moreover, in the Word “bowels” signify love or mercy for the reason that the bowels of generation, especially the mother’s womb, represent and thus signify chaste conjugial love, and the love for children that is derived from it. As in Isaiah:

The stirring of Thy bowels and of Thy compassions toward me have restrained themselves (Isaiah 63:15).

In Jeremiah:

Is not Ephraim a dear son onto Me? Is he not a child of delights? Therefore My bowels are troubled for him; in mercy I will have mercy upon him (Jeremiah 31:20).

[4] It is evident from this that the Lord’s love itself, or mercy itself, and compassion toward the human race, are what are signified in the internal sense by “bowels,” and by “going forth out of the bowels;” consequently by “them that go forth out of the bowels” are signified those who have love. (That the Lord’s kingdom is mutual love, may be seen above, n. 548, 549, 684, 693, 694.)
