Postanak 10

Studie

   

1 A ovo su plemena sinova Nojevih, Sima, Hama i Jafeta, kojima se rodiše sinovi posle potopa.

2 Sinovi Jafetovi: Gomer i Magog i Madaj i Javan i Tovel i Meseh i Tiras.

3 A sinovi Gomerovi: Ashenas i Rifat i Togarma.

4 A sinovi Javanovi: Elisa i Tarsis, Kitim i Dodanim.

5 Od njih se razdeliše ostrva narodna na zemljama svojim, svako po jeziku svom i po porodicama svojim, u narodima svojim.

6 A sinovi Hamovi: Hus i Mesrain, Fud i Hanan.

7 A sinovi Husovi: Sava i Avila i Savata i Regma i Savataka. A sinovi Regmini: Sava i Dedan.

8 Hus rodi i Nevroda; a on prvi bi silan na zemlji;

9 Beše dobar lovac pred Gospodom; zato se kaže: Dobar lovac pred Gospodom kao Nevrod.

10 A početak carstvu njegovom beše Vavilon i Oreh i Arhad i Halani u zemlji Senaru.

11 Iz te zemlje izađe Asur, i sazida Nineviju i Rovot grad i Halah,

12 I Dasem između Ninevije i Halaha; to je grad velik.

13 A Mesrain rodi Ludeje i Enemeje i Laveje i Neftaleje,

14 I Patroseje i Hasmeje, odakle izađoše Filisteji i Gaftoreji.

15 A Hanan rodi Sidona, prvenca svog, i Heta,

16 I Jevuseja i Amoreja i Gergeseja,

17 I Eveja i Arukeja i Aseneja,

18 I Arvadeja i Samareja i Amateja. A posle se rasejaše plemena hananejska.

19 I behu međe hananejske od Sidona idući na Gerar pa do Gaze, i idući na Sodom i Gomor i Adamu i Sevojim pa do Dasa.

20 To su sinovi Hamovi po porodicama svojim i po jezicima svojim, u zemljama svojim i u narodima svojim.

21 I Simu rodiše se sinovi, najstarijem bratu Jafetovom, ocu svih sinova Everovih.

22 Sinovi Simovi behu: Elam i Asur i Arfaksad i Lud i Aram.

23 A sinovi Aramovi: Uz i Ul i Gater i Mas.

24 A Arfaksad rodi Salu, a Sala rodi Evera.

25 A Everu se rodiše dva sina: jednom beše ime Falek, jer se u njegovo vreme razdeli zemlja, a bratu njegovom ime Jektan.

26 A Jektan rodi Elmodada i Saleta i Sarmota i Jaraha,

27 I Odora i Evila i Deklu,

28 I Evala i Avimaila i Savu,

29 I Ufira i Evilu i Jovava; ti svi behu sinovi Jektanovi.

30 I življahu od Mase, kako se ide na Safir do gora istočnih.

31 To su sinovi Simovi po porodicama svojim i po jezicima svojim, u zemljama svojim i u narodima svojim.

32 To su porodice sinova Nojevih po plemenima svojim, u narodima svojim; i od njih se razdeliše narodi po zemlji posle potopa.

1198. 'From whom they came forth' means that cognitions, as these exist with them, are facts. This is clear from what has been stated. These are not said to have been 'begotten' by those who belonged to Egypt but to have 'gone forth', for they are not such as use natural and factual knowledge to reason about spiritual and celestial things and in so doing fabricate for themselves doctrinal teachings, as do those described before. Instead they learn cognitions of faith from another source, but have no other end in view to knowing and retaining these in the memory than they have with other things in which they have no interest beyond merely knowing them, and only then for the reason that by so knowing they may be promoted to positions of importance, and for other like reasons. So different is knowledge of cognitions of faith from knowledge of natural things that the two have scarcely anything in common. This explains why they are not said to have been 'bore' but to have 'gone forth' from them. Such being the character of 'Philistines' they inevitably pervert cognitions of faith by means of reasonings from them, and as a consequence fabricate false doctrines for themselves. They belong therefore among those who are barely able to be regenerated and to receive charity, both because they are uncircumcised at heart and because the false assumptions and consequently the life of their understanding hinder and prevent.
