Бытие 7

Studie

   

1 И сказалъ Іегова Ною: войди со всјмъ семействомъ твоимъ въ ковчегъ; ибо тебя вижу Я праведнымъ предо Мною въ семъ вјкј.

2 Возьми съ собою изъ всякаго скота чистаго по семи, мужскаго пола и женскаго, а изъ скота нечистаго по два, мужскаго пола и женскаго.

3 Также и птицъ небесныхъ по семи, мужскаго пола и женскаго, чтобы сохранить племя для всей земли.

4 Ибо чрезъ семь дней отнынј, Я повелю дождю литъся на землю сорокъ дней и сорокъ ночей; и истреблю съ лица земли все существующее, что Я ни создалъ.

5 Ной сдјлалъ все, что Іегова повелјлъ ему.

6 Ной же былъ шесги сотъ лјть отъ рожденія, какь вода потопная пришла на землю.

7 И вошелъ Ной отъ водъ потопа въ ковчегъ, и съ нимъ сыновья его, и жена его, и жены сыновъ его.

8 И изъ скота чистаго и изъ скота нечистаго, и изъ всјхъ птицъ и изъ всјхъ пресмыкающихся по землј,

9 по парј, мужскаго пола и женскаго, вошли къ Ною въ ковчегъ, какъ Богъ повелјлъ Ною.

10 И когда минуло семь дней, воды потопа пришли на землю.

11 Въ шестисотомъ году жизни Ноевой, во второмъ мтснцј, въ семнадцатый день мјсяца, въ сей день разверзлись всј источники великой бездны, и окна небесныя отворились.

12 И лился на землю дождь сорокъ дней и сорокъ ночей

13 Въ сей самый день вошелъ въ ковчегъ Ной, н сыновья Ноевы, Сиімъ, Хамъ и Іафетъ, и жена Ноева, и три жены сыновъ его съ ними.

14 Они и всј звјри по роду ихъ, и всякой скоть по роду его, и всј гады пресмыкающіеся по землј по роду ихъ и всј птицы по роду ихъ, всј летающія, всј пернатыя.

15 По парј отъ всякой плоти, въ которой есть духъ жизни, вошло къ Ною въ ковчегъ.

16 И вошедшіе были мужскій и женскій полъ всякой плоти, такъ, какь повелјль ему Богъ. Наконецъ Іегова затворилъ за нимъ.

17 И продолжалось на землј наводненіе сорокъ дней, и умножились воды, и подняли ковчегъ, и онъ возвысился надъ землею

18 И усиливались воды, и весьма умножались на землј, и ковчегъ плавалъ по поверхности воды.

19 И воды усиливались на землј болје и болје, и покрылись всј высокія горы, какія есть подъ всјмъ небомъ.

20 Еще выше, на пятьнадцать локтей поднялись воды, когда покрылнсь горы.

21 И лишилась жизни всякая плоть, двигавшаяся по землј, птицы, к скотъ, и звјри, и всј гады, ползавшіе по землј, и всј люди.

22 Все, что имјло дыханіе духа жизни въ ноздряхъ своихъ на сушј, померло.

23 И истребилось все, что существовало на поверхности земли, отъ человјка до скота и гада и птицы небесной, все истребилосъ съ земли: и остался только Ной, и что было съ нимъ въ ковчегј.

24 И поднимались воды надъ землею сто пятьдесять дней.

790. 'Waters' here and in what follows means falsities. This becomes clear from the places in the Word quoted in the preliminary section of this chapter 1 and from those at verse 6 of this chapter, where the flood or inundation of waters is the subject. In those places it was shown that 'inundations of waters' meant desolations and temptations, which entail the same thing as falsities, for desolations and temptations are nothing else than inundations of falsities that have been activated by evil spirits. The reason why such waters mean falsities is that generally 'waters' in the Word means that which is spiritual, that is, that which is intellectual, rational, and factual. And since waters mean these they also mean their opposites, for every falsity is a factual matter, and seemingly rational and intellectual since it is a matter belonging to thought.

[2] That 'waters' means spiritual things is clear from very many places in the Word. But that 'waters' also means falsities, let the passages that follow, in addition to those quoted already, serve to confirm the point. In Isaiah,

This people have refused the waters of Shiloah that go out gently. Therefore, behold the Lord is causing to rise up over them the waters of the river, mighty and many. And it will rise up over all its channels and go over all its banks. Isaiah 8:6-7.

Here 'waters that go out gently' stands for spiritual things, 'waters mighty and many' for falsities. In the same prophet,

Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush, sending ambassadors to the sea, and in vessels of papyrus over the face' of the waters! Go, you swift ambassadors, to a nation marked out and trodden down, whose land the rivers have spoiled. Isaiah 18:1-2.

This stands for falsities, which belong to 'the land shadowing with wings'.

[3] In the same prophet,

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. Isaiah 43:2.

'Waters' and 'rivers' stand for difficulties, and also for falsities. In Jeremiah,

What have you to do with the way to Egypt, to drink the waters of Shihor? And what have you to do with the way to Asshur, to drink the waters of the River? Jeremiah 2:18.

'Waters' stands for falsities arising out of reasonings. In the same prophet,

Who is this coming up like a river, like the rivers his waters are tossed about? Egypt comes up like the river, and like the rivers his waters are tossed about. And he said, I will go up, I will cover the earth, I will destroy the city and those who dwell in it. Jeremiah 46:7-8.

'Waters' stands for falsities arising out of reasonings.

[4] In Ezekiel,

Thus said the Lord Jehovah, When I make you a city laid waste, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I shall cause the deep to come up over you, and many waters have covered you, I will cause you to go down with those who go down into the Pit. Ezekiel 16:19, 20.

'Waters' stands for evils and derivative falsities. In Habakkuk,

You did trample the sea with Your horses, the mud of many waters. Habakkuk 3:15.

'Waters' stands for falsities. In John,

The dragon poured water like a stream out of his mouth after the woman, to swallow her up in the river. Revelation 11:15, 16.

Here 'waters' stands for falsities and lies. In David,

Send forth Your hands from on high, rescue me, and deliver me from the many waters, from the hands of sons of the foreigner, whose mouths speak lies, and whose right hands are right hands of falsity. Psalms 144:7-8.

Here 'many waters' clearly stands for falsities, and 'sons of the foreigner also means falsities.
