Postanak 16

Studie

   

1 Ali Sara žena Avramova ne rađaše mu dece. A imaše robinju Misirku, po imenu Agara.

2 Pa reče Sara Avramu: Gospod me je zatvorio da ne rodim; nego idi k robinji mojoj, ne bih li dobila dece od nje. I Avram prista na reč Sarinu.

3 I Sara žena Avramova uze Agaru Misirku robinju svoju, i dade je za ženu Avramu mužu svom posle deset godina otkako se nastani Avram u zemlji hananskoj.

4 I on otide k Agari, i ona zatrudne; a kad vide da je trudna, ponese se od gospođe svoje.

5 A Sara reče Avramu: Uvreda moja pade na tebe; ja ti metnuh na krilo robinju svoju, a ona videvši da je trudna ponese se od mene. Gospod će suditi meni i tebi.

6 A Avram reče Sari: Eto, robinja je tvoja u tvojim rukama, učini s njom šta ti je volja. I Sara je stade zlostavljati, te ona pobeže od nje.

7 Ali anđeo Gospodnji nađe je kod studenca u pustinji, kod studenca na putu u Sur.

8 I reče joj: Agaro, robinjo Sarina, otkud ideš, kuda li ideš? A ona reče: Bežim od Sare gospođe svoje.

9 A anđeo joj Gospodnji reče: Vrati se gospođi svojoj, i pokori joj se.

10 Opet joj reče anđeo Gospodnji: Umnožiću veoma seme tvoje, da se neće moći prebrojati od množine.

11 Još joj reče anđeo Gospodnji: Eto si trudna, i rodićeš sina, i nadeni mu ime Ismailo; jer je Gospod video muku tvoju.

12 A biće čovek ubica; ruka će se njegova dizati na svakog a svačija na njega, i nastavaće na pogledu svoj braći svojoj.

13 Tada Agara prizva ime Gospoda koji govori s njom: Ti si Bog, koji vidi. Jer govoraše: Zar još gledam iza Onog koji me vide?

14 Toga radi zove se studenac onaj studenac Živoga koji me vidi; a on je između Kadisa i Varada.

15 I rodi Agara Avramu sina; i nadede Avram sinu svom, kog mu rodi Agara, ime Ismailo.

16 A beše Avramu osamdeset i šest godina kad mu Agara rodi Ismaila.

Befall, to

  

(Genesis 42:29.) The things which befall are the things which were of providence, or which were provided, because everything which befalls, or happens, in other words what is called fortuitous, and is ascribed to chance, or to fortune, is of providence. (Arcana Coelestia 5508)

617. 14:3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and before the elders. This symbolizes a celebration and glorification of the Lord in His presence and in the presence of the angels of the higher heavens.

Their singing a new song symbolizes an acknowledgment and glorification of the Lord as being the only Judge, Redeemer, and Savior, thus God of heaven and earth, as may be seen in no. 279 above. Before the throne means in the Lord's presence, because He alone sits upon the throne. Before the four living creatures and before the elders means in the presence of the angels of the higher heavens (no. 369).

As it were a new song symbolizes a celebration and glorification of the Lord in the New Christian Heaven. Here specifically it means that He was acknowledged as God of heaven and earth, as He is acknowledged in the ancient heavens. This is entailed in the phrase "as it were," for "as it were a new song" means that it was seemingly new, when in fact it was not new.

We have already said before that the new heaven spoken of in Revelation 21:1 is a new heaven formed of Christians, that the prior heavens were formed of ancient peoples and most ancient ones, and that in those heavens the Lord is acknowledged as God of heaven and earth.
