Бытие 9

Studie

   

1 И благословилъ Богъ Ноя и сыновъ его, и сказалъ имъ: плодитесь и размножайтесь, и наполняйте землю.

2 Да страшатся и да трепещутъ васъ всј звјри земные и всј птицы небесныя; все, что движется на землј, и всј рыбы морскія отданы въ ваши руки.

3 Все, что движется и живетъ, вамъ да будетъ въ пищу; вамъ даю Я все, подобно какъ и зелень травную.

4 Только плоти съ душею ея, то-есть, съ кровію ея, не јшьте.

5 Я взыщу и вашу кровь, въ которой душа ваша, взыщу ее отъ всякаго звјря, взыщу также душу человјка отъ руки человјка, брата его.

6 Кто прольетъ кровь человјческую, того и самого кровь прольется между человјками, ибо человјкъ созданъ по образу Божію.

7 И такъ вы плодитесь и размножайтесь, и распространяйтесь по землј, и умножайтесь на ней.

8 И сказалъ Богъ Ною и сынамъ его вмјстј съ нимъ:

9 Се, Я поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами, и съ потомствомъ вашимъ послј васъ.

10 И со всякою, находящеюся съ вами душею живою, съ птицами, со скотомъ, и со всјми звјрьми земными, находящимися у васъ, со всјми вышедшими изъ ковчега, со всјми животными земными.

11 И поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами въ томъ, что не будетъ опять истреблена водами потопа всякая плоть, и не будетъ уже потопа на опустошеніе земли.

12 И сказалъ Богъ: вотъ знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою, находящеюся съ вами въ роды навсегда:

13 Я полагаю дугу Мою въ облакј, чтобы она была знакомъ завјта между Мною и между землею.

14 Такимъ образомъ, когда Я наведу облако на землю: то явится дуга въ облакј;

15 и Я вспомню завјтъ Мой, который между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти; и воды не сдјлаются болје потопомъ на истребленіе всякой плоти:

16 ибо будетъ дуга въ облакј, и Я увижу ее, и вспомню завјтъ вјчный между Богомъ и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти, какая есть на землј.

17 И сказалъ Богъ Ною: воть знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между всякою плотію, какая есть на землј.

18 Сыновья Ноя, вышедшіе изъ ковчега, были: Симъ, Хамъ и Іафетъ. Хамъ же былъ отецъ Ханаана.

19 Сіи трое были сыновья Ноевы. Отъ сихъ населилась вся земля.

20 Ной началъ воздјлывать землю, и насадилъ виноградникъ,

21 И выпилъ онъ вина, и опьянјлъ, и лежалъ обнаженъ посреди шатра своего.

22 Тогда Хамъ, отецъ Ханаана, увидјлъ наготу отца своего, и сказалъ двумъ братьямъ своимъ на дворј,

23 Симъ же и Іафетъ взяли одежду, и положили ее оба на плеча свои, и пошли задомъ, и покрыли наготу отца своего; и какъ они лицами были назадъ, то и не видјли наготы отца своего.

24 Когда Ной проспался отъ вина своего, и узналъ, что сдјлалъ надъ нимъ меньшій сынъ его:

25 тогда онъ сказалъ: Проклятъ Ханаанъ: Рабъ рабовъ будетъ у братьевъ своихъ.

26 Потомъ сказалъ: Благословенъ Іегова, Богъ Симовъ; Ханаанъ же будеть рабомъ ему.

27 Да распространитъ Богъ Іафета И да вселится онъ въ шатры Симовы, Ханаанъ же будетъ рабомъ ему.

28 И жилъ Ной послј потопа триста пятьдесятъ лјтъ.

29 Всјхъ же дней Ноевыхъ было девять сотъ пятьдесятъ лјтъ и онъ умеръ.

1083. That 'Shem' means the internal Church, 'Japheth' the external Church corresponding to it, has been discussed already. Where the Church exists it must necessarily possess an internal aspect and an external; for a human being, who is the Church, is both internal and external. Before he becomes the Church, that is, before he has been regenerated, he is engrossed in things that are external. But when undergoing regeneration he is led away from external things - or rather by means of external things - towards internal, as stated and shown already. But once he has been regenerated, all things that belong to the internal man are encompassed in the things that are external. Thus every Church must necessarily be internal and external, as the Ancient Church was, and as the Christian Church is today.

[2] The internal aspects of the Ancient Church comprised all things that belong to charity and to faith deriving from charity, all humbleness, all worship of the Lord that stems from charity, every good affection towards the neighbour, and other aspects like these. The external features of that Church were sacrifices, drink-offerings, and much else, all of which, by means of representation, were directed to the Lord and had regard to Him. Consequently things of an internal nature existed within those that were external and made a single Church. The internal features of the Christian Church are just the same as the internal features of the Ancient Church, but different externals have ensued. That is to say, instead of sacrifices and the like, [the Christian Church] has sacraments which in a similar way have regard to the Lord. So in the Christian Church also things that are internal and those that are external make one.

[3] The Ancient Church did not differ in the slightest from the Christian Church as to its internal features, only as to its external. Worship of the Lord that stems from charity cannot possibly be different, no matter how much externals may vary. And since, as stated, no Church can exist unless there is that which is internal and that which is external, the internal without the external would be something unbounded if it were not encompassed by something external. For mankind is such, and indeed the vast majority, that it does not know what the internal man is, and what belongs to the internal man. Without external worship therefore, mankind would have no knowledge at all of what is holy.

[4] As long as these people have charity and consequently conscience, they have internal worship residing with them in their external worship. For the Lord residing with them is at work in charity and in conscience, and He causes all their worship to partake of what is internal. It is otherwise with people who have no charity and consequently no conscience. They are indeed able to have worship in externals, yet it is separated from internal worship, as their faith is separated from charity. Such worship is called 'Canaan' and such faith 'Ham'. And because such worship is the product of separated faith, Ham is called 'the father of Canaan'.
