Бытие 8

Studie

   

1 Тогда Богъ вспомнилъ о Ној, и о всјхъ звјряхъ, и о всемъ скотј, бывшихъ съ нимь въ ковчегј; и навелъ Богъ вјтеръ на землю, и воды остановились.

2 И закрылись источники бездны и окна небесныя, и пересталъ дождь съ неба.

3 И начали воды возвращаться съ земли, и шли обратно; и стали убывать воды по окончаніи ста пятидесяти дней.

4 Въ седьмомъ мјсяцј, въ семнадцатый день мјсяца, ковчегъ остановился на горахъ Араратскихъ.

5 Воды убывали до десятаго мјсяца; въ первый день десятаго мјсяца показалісь верхи горъ.

6 По прошествіи сорока дней, Ной открылъ сдјланное имъ окно у ковчега.

7 И выпустилъ ворона, который, вылетјвъ, отлеталъ и прилеталъ, пока осушилась земля отъ воды.

8 Потомъ выпустилъ отъ себя голубя, чтобы узнать, стекла ли вода съ лица земли.

9 Но голубь не нашелъ, гдј поставить ногу свою, и возвратился къ нему въ ковчегъ; ибо вода была еще по всей землј: и потому онъ простеръ руку свою, и взялъ его, и принялъ его въ ковчегъ.

10 И помедлилъ еще семь дней другихъ: и опять выпустилъ голубя изъ ковчега.

11 Голубь возвратился къ нему въ вечернее время; и вотъ, свјжій масличный листъ во рту у него: тогда Ной узналъ, что воды стекли съ земли.

12 Онъ помедлилъ еще семь дней, и выпустилъ голубя; и онъ уже не возвратился къ нему.

13 Шесть сотъ перваго года къ первому дню перваго мјсяца изсякла вода на землј: тогда Ной, открывъ кровлю ковчега, посмотрјлъ, и увидјлъ, что изсякли воды съ лица земли.

14 И во второмъ мјсяцј, къ двадцать седьмому дню мјсяца, осушилась земля.

15 И сказалъ Богъ Ною:

16 выйди изъ ковчега ты, и съ тобою жена твоя, и сыновья твои, и жены сыновъ твоихъ.

17 Выведи съ собою и всј животныя, которыя съ тобою, изъ всякой плоти, изъ птицъ, и изъ скота, и изъ всјхъ гадовъ пресмыкаюшихся по землј; пусть разойдутся онј по землј, и пусть плодятся и размножаются на землј.

18 И вышелъ Ной, и съ нимъ сыновья его, и жена его, и жены сыновъ его.

19 Всј звјри, и всј гады, и всј птицы, и все движущееся по землј, по породамъ своимъ, вышли изъ ковчега.

20 И создалъ Ной жертвенникъ Іеговј, и взялъ отъ всякаго скота чистаго, и изъ всјхъ птицъ чистыхъ, и принесъ всесожженія на жертвенникј.

21 И обонялъ Іегова благоуханіе успокоенія, и сказалъ Іегова въ сердцј Своемъ: отнынј Я уже не буду проклинать земли за человјка, потому что помышленія сердца человјческаго есть зло отъ юности его: и не буду болје поражать всего живущаго, какъ Я то сдјлалъ.

22 Впредь во всј дни земли сјяніе и жатва, холодъ и зной, лјто и зима, дни и ночи не пресјкутся.

870. That by a “dove” are signified the truths and goods of faith with him who is to be regenerated, is evident from the signification of a “dove” in the Word, especially the dove which came upon Jesus when He was baptized, of which we read in Matthew:

Jesus when He was baptized, went up straightway out of the water, and lo the heavens were opened, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and coming upon Him (Matthew 3:16; also John 1:32; Luke 3:21-22; Mark 1:10-11).

Here the “dove” signified nothing else than the holy of faith; and the “baptism” itself, regeneration; so that there was signified, in the new church which was to arise, the truth and good of faith which is received by regeneration from the Lord. Similar things were represented and involved by the young pigeons or turtledoves that were offered for sacrifice and burnt offering in the Jewish Church, of which we read in Leviticus (Leviticus 1:14-17, Leviticus 5:7-10, Leviticus 12:6, 8; 14:21-22; 15:14, 29-30; Numbers 6:10-11; Luke 2:22-24), as is evident from the several passages. That they had such a signification everyone may comprehend from the sole consideration that they must needs represent something; for otherwise they would have no meaning and would be in no respect Divine, for what is external of the church is an inanimate affair, but lives from what is internal, and this from the Lord.

[2] That a “dove” in general signifies the intellectual things of faith, is also evident in the Prophets, as in Hosea:

Ephraim will be like a silly dove, without heart; they called Egypt, they went unto Assyria (Hosea 7:11).

And again, concerning Ephraim:

They shall be afraid, as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria (Hosea 11:11).

Here “Ephraim” denotes one who is intelligent, “Egypt” one who has knowledge, “Assyria” one who is rational, a “dove” what is of the intellectual things of faith; and here also the subject is the regeneration of the spiritual church. Again in David:

O Jehovah, deliver not the soul of Thy turtledove unto the wild beast (Psalms 74:19); where “wild beast” denotes those who are of no charity; the “soul of the “turtle dove” the life of faith. See also what has been said and shown before about birds 1 , that they signify intellectual things: gentle, beautiful, clean, and useful birds, intellectual truths and goods; but fierce, ugly, unclean, and useless birds, the opposite, or falsities, such as the raven, which is here opposed to the dove.
