Бытие 22

Studie

   

1 И было, послј сихъ происшествій, что Богъ искушалъ Авраама, и сказалъ ему: Авраамъ! онъ отвјтствовалъ: вотъ я.

2 Богъ сказалъ: возми сына твоего, единственнаго твоего, котораго ты любишь, Исаака; и поди въ землю Моріа, и тамъ принеси его во всесожженіе, на одной изъ горъ, которую Я укажу тебј.

3 Авраамъ всталъ рано, осјдлалъ осла своего, взялъ съ собою двоихъ изъ рабовь своихъ, и Исаака, сына своего; накололъ дровъ для всесожженія и вставъ, пошелъ на мјсто, которое указалъ ему Богъ.

4 На третій день Авраамъ, возведши очи свои, увидјлъ мјсто издалека.

5 Тогда Авраамъ сказалъ рабамъ своимъ: останьтесь здјсь съ осломъ; а я и сынъ пойдемъ туда, и поклонясь возвратимся къ вамъ.

6 И взялъ Авраамъ дрова для всесожженія, и возложилъ на Исаака, сына своего; а самъ взялъ въ руки огонь и ножъ, и пошли оба вмјстј.

7 И началъ Исаакъ говорить Аврааму, отцу своему, и сказалъ: батюшка! Онъ отвјчалъ: что сынъ мой? Онъ сказалъ: вотъ огонь и дрова, гдј же агнецъ во всесожженіе?

8 Авраамъ сказалъ: Богъ усмотритъ для Себя агнца во всесожжеиіе, сынъ мой. И шли далје оба вмјстј.

9 И когда они пришли на мјсто, которое указалъ ему Богъ: тогда Авраамъ устроилъ тамъ жертвенникъ, разложилъ дрова, и, связавъ сына своего Исаака, положилъ его на жертвенникъ поверхъ дровъ.

10 И простеръ Авраамъ руку свою и взялъ ножъ, чтобы заколоть сына своего.

11 Тогда Ангелъ Іеговы воззвалъ къ нему съ небесъ, и сказалъ: Авраамъ! Авраамъ! Онъ сказалъ: вотъ я.

12 Ангелъ сказалъ: не поднимай руки твоей на отрока, и не дјлай надъ нимъ ничего; ибо теперь Я знаю, что боишься Бога, когда ты не пожалјлъ сына твоего, единственнаго твоего, для Меня.

13 И возвелъ Авраамъ очи свои и увидјлъ: и вотъ назади овенъ, запутавшійся въ чащј рогами своими. Авраамъ пошелъ, взялъ овна, и принесъ его во всесожженіе вмјсто сына своего.

14 И назвалъ Авраамъ имя мјсту тому: Іегова-Ире (Господъ усмотритъ). Посему и нынј говорится: на горј Іеговы усмотрится.

15 Потомъ вторично воззвалъ къ Аврааму Ангелъ Іеговы съ небесъ,

16 и сказалъ: Мною клянусь, говоритъ Іегова, что поелику ты сдјлалъ сіе дјло, и не пожалјлъ сына твоего, единственнаго твоего:

17 то Я благословляя благословлю тебя, и умножая умножу сјмя твое, какъ звјзды небесныя, и какъ песокъ на берегу моря; и наслјдуетъ сјмя твое города враговъ своихъ,

18 и благословятся въ сјмени твоемъ всј народы земные; за то, что ты послушался гласа Моего.

19 И возвратился Авраамъ къ рабамъ своимъ, и встали, и пошли вмјстј въ Беэр-Шаву; и жилъ Авраамъ въ Беэр-Шавј.

20 Послј сихъ происшествій Аврааму возвјстили и сказали: вотъ и Милка родила Нахору, брату твоему, сыновъ:

21 Уца, первенца его, Вуза, брата сему, Кемуила, отца Арамова,

22 Кеседа, Хазо, Пилдаша, Идлафа и Ваѕуила,

23 Отъ Ваѕуила родилась Ревекка. Восьмерыхъ сихъ родила Милка Нахору, брату Авраамову.

24 И наложница его, именемъ Реума, также родила Теваха, Гахама, Тахаша и Мааху.

2807. 'Abraham said, God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son' means the reply: The Divine Human will provide those who are to be sanctified. This is clear from the meaning of 'seeing to for oneself', when used in reference to God, as foreseeing and providing - for 'to see' in the internal sense nearest to the literal means to understand, 2150, 2325, whereas in the sense yet more interior it means having faith, 897, 2325, while in the highest sense it means foreseeing and providing; and also from the meaning of 'the animal for a burnt offering' as those members of the human race who are to be sanctified, dealt with just above in 2805. That 'the animal for a burnt offering' is here used to mean those who are spiritual is evident from what follows. The kinds of animals used for burnt offering and sacrifice each had a different meaning. That is to say, a lamb meant one thing, a sheep another, a kid and she-goat another, a ram and he-goat another, an ox yet another, as did a young bull and a calf. And young pigeons and turtle doves had meanings different again. It is quite clear that each kind of animal had its own meaning from the fact that it was laid down explicitly which kind were to be sacrificed on each particular day, at each particular religious festival, when atonement was being made, cleansing effected, inauguration carried out, and all other occasions. Which kinds were to be used on which occasions would never have been laid down so explicitly unless each one had possessed some specific meaning.

[2] Clearly all the religious observances or forms of external worship which existed in the Ancient Church, and subsequently in the Jewish, represented the Lord, so that the burnt offerings and sacrifices in particular represented Him since these were the chief forms of worship among the Hebrew nation. And because they represented the Lord they also at the same time represented among men those things that are the Lord's, that is to say, the celestial things of love, and the spiritual things of faith, and as a consequence of this represented the people themselves who were celestial and spiritual or who ought to have been so. This is why 'the animal' here means those who are spiritual, that is, those who belong to the Lord's spiritual Church. As regards 'God will see for Himself to the animal for a burnt offering, my son' meaning that the Divine Human will provide them, this is clear from the fact that here it is not said that 'Jehovah' will see to it but that 'God' will do so. When both of these names occur, as they do in this chapter, Jehovah is used to mean the same as 'the Father', and God the same as 'the Son', so that here the Divine Human is meant; and a further reason for the usage is that the spiritual man, whose salvation comes from the Divine Human, is the subject, see 2661, 2716.
