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.

1154. Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. That these were so many nations among whom there was such worship, and that they signify so many doctrinals which were rituals, derived from the external worship with Gomer, is evident from the Prophets, where the same nations are also mentioned, and by them are everywhere signified doctrinals or rituals-as usual, in each sense, sometimes in the genuine sense, sometimes in the opposite one. “Ashkenaz,” in Jeremiah:

Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, consecrate the nations against her, make to hearken against her the kingdoms of Ararath, Minni, and Ashkenaz (Jeremiah 51:27).

The subject here is the destruction of Babel, where “Ashkenaz” denotes its idolatrous worship, or external worship separate from internal, which destroys Babel. Specifically, it denotes false doctrinals, and therefore is mentioned in the opposite sense. “Togarmah,” in Ezekiel:

Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, these were thy traders in the soul of man, and furnished vessels of brass in thy commerce. They of the house of Togarmah furnished for thine aids, horses, and horsemen, and mules (Ezekiel 27:13-14).

This is said concerning Tyre, by which they were represented who possessed the knowledges of celestial and spiritual things. “Javan, Tubal, and Meshech,” denote, as before, various representative or correspondent rites; “the house of Togarmah” likewise. The external rites of the former have reference to celestial things; and those of the latter, or “the house of Togarmah,” to spiritual things, as is evident from the signification of the things in which they traded. Here they are in the genuine sense. In the same:

Gomer and all his hordes, the house of Togarmah the sides of the north, and with all his hordes (Ezekiel 38:6);

denoting perverted doctrinals, which are meant also by “the sides of the north.” Here the names of these nations are used in the opposite sense.
