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.

986. That 'the fear of you and the dread of you' means the lordship of the internal man - 'fear' having regard to evils and 'dread' to falsities - becomes clear from the state of a regenerate person. A person's state prior to regeneration is one in which the evil desires and the falsities that belong to the external man predominate all the time, which gives rise to conflict. But once he has been regenerated the internal man rules over the external, that is, over his desires and falsities. When it is the internal man that rules, the person has a fear of evils and a dread of falsities, for both evils and falsities are contrary to conscience, and to act contrary to conscience is abhorrent to him.

[2] It is not however the internal man that fears evils and dreads falsities, but the external; hence the statements at this point about the fear of you and the dread of you being upon every beast of the earth and every bird of the air 1 , that is, over all evil desires meant by 'beast' and over falsities meant by 'bird of the air'. 1 This fear and this dread are seemingly the person's own, but the reality is this: As stated already everybody has at least two angels with him through whom he has communication with heaven, and two evil spirits through whom he has communication with hell. When the angels rule, as is so with a regenerate person, the evil spirits who are present dare not do anything contrary to what is good and true, for they are at that time held in bonds. And when they do try to do anything evil or to utter what is false - that is, to activate it - some hellish kind of fear and dread instantly overtakes them. This fear and this dread are what a person feels within himself for things that are contrary to conscience. This also is why, as soon as he does or utters anything contrary to conscience, he runs into temptation and the gnawings of conscience, that is, into a kind of hellish torment.

[3] On the point that fear has reference to evils and dread to falsities, the situation Is this: The spirits that reside with a person are less afraid of practising evil deeds than of uttering falsities, the reason being that a person is born again and receives a conscience by means of truths of faith, and consequently spirits are not allowed to activate falsities. Indeed nothing but evil is present with every one of them, so that they are immersed in evil; their whole nature, and consequently everything they attempt is evil; and since they are immersed in evil and their own life within them consists in evil, their performance of evil is ignored when they are serving some use. But they are not permitted to utter anything false, for the reason that they may learn what is true, and in so doing may be corrected, so far as possible, to perform some inferior kind of service. But more concerning these matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be mentioned later on. It is similar with a regenerate person, for his conscience is formed from truths of faith. Consequently his conscience is a conscience for what is right. For him the very evil of life lies in falsity because falsity is the reverse of the truth of faith. But with the member of the Most Ancient Church who had perception it was different. He perceived evil of life as evil, and falsity of faith as falsity.
