Postanak 17

Studie

   

1 A kad Avramu bi devedeset i devet godina, javi mu se Gospod i reče mu: Ja sam Bog Svemogući, po mojoj volji živi, i budi pošten.

2 I učiniću zavet između sebe i tebe, i vrlo ću te umnožiti.

3 A Avram pade ničice. I Gospod mu još govori i reče:

4 Od mene evo zavet moj s tobom da ćeš biti otac mnogim narodima.

5 Zato se više nećeš zvati Avram nego će ti ime biti Avraam, jer sam te učinio ocem mnogih naroda;

6 Daću ti porodicu vrlo veliku, i načiniću od tebe narode mnoge, i carevi će izaći od tebe.

7 A postavljam zavet svoj između sebe i tebe i semena tvog nakon tebe od kolena do kolena, da je zavet večan, da sam Bog tebi i semenu tvom nakon tebe;

8 I daću tebi i semenu tvom nakon tebe zemlju u kojoj si došljak, svu zemlju hanansku u državu večnu, i biću im Bog.

9 I reče Bog Avramu: Ti pak drži zavet moj, ti i seme tvoje nakon tebe od kolena do kolena.

10 A ovo je zavet moj između mene i vas i semena tvog nakon tebe koji ćete držati: da se obrezuju između vas sve muškinje.

11 A obrezivaćete okrajak tela svog, da bude znak zaveta između mene i vas.

12 Svako muško dete kad mu bude osam dana da se obrezuje od kolena do kolena, rodilo se u kući ili bilo kupljeno za novce od kojih god stranaca, koje ne bude od semena tvog.

13 Da se obrezuje koje se rodi u kući tvojoj i koje se kupi za novce tvoje; tako će biti zavet moj na telu vašem zavet večan.

14 A neobrezano muško, kome se ne obreže okrajak tela njegovog, da se istrebi iz naroda svog, jer pokvari zavet moj.

15 I još reče Bog Avramu: A Saru ženu svoju ne zovi je više Sara nego neka joj bude ime Saara.

16 I ja ću je blagosloviti, i daću ti sina od nje; blagosloviću je, i biće mati mnogim narodima, i carevi narodima izaći će od nje.

17 Tada pade Avram ničice i nasmeja se govoreći u srcu svom: Eda će se čoveku od sto godina roditi sin? I Sari? Eda će žena od devedeset godina roditi?

18 I Avram reče Bogu: Neka živ bude Ismailo pred Tobom!

19 I reče Bog: Zaista Sara žena tvoja rodiće ti sina, i nadećeš mu ime Isak; i postaviću zavet svoj s njim da bude zavet večan semenu njegovom nakon njega.

20 A i za Ismaila uslišio sam te; evo blagoslovio sam ga, i daću mu porodicu veliku, i umnožiću ga veoma; i rodiće dvanaest knezova, i načiniću od njega velik narod.

21 A zavet svoj učiniću s Isakom kad ti ga rodi Sara, do godine u ovo doba.

22 I Bog izgovorivši otide od Avrama gore.

23 I Avram uze Ismaila sina svog i sve koji se rodiše u domu njegovom i koje god beše kupio za svoje novce, sve muškinje od domaćih svojih; i obreza okrajak tela njihovog u isti dan, kao što mu kaza Bog.

24 A beše Avramu devedeset i devet godina kad obreza okrajak tela svog.

25 A Ismailu sinu njegovom beše trinaest godina kad mu se obreza okrajak tela njegovog.

26 U jedan dan obreza se Avram i sin mu Ismailo,

27 I svi domašnji njegovi, rođeni u kući i kupljeni za novce od stranaca, biše obrezani s njim.

2011. For a father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. That this signifies, here as before, that all truth and the good thence derived come from Him, is evident from the signification of his being “a father,” as denoting that they are from Him; from the signification of “a multitude,” as being truth; and also from that of “nations,” as being the good thence derived (concerning which see above, n. 2005-2007). That in a more universal or more remote sense these same words signify the union of the Lord’s Human Essence with His Divine Essence, may be seen above (n. 2004); for the union of the Lord’s Human Essence with His Divine Essence is circumstanced as is that of truth with good; and the union of His Divine Essence with His Human Essence as is that of good with truth, which is reciprocal. Nay, in the Lord it was Truth itself that united itself to Good, and Good that united itself to Truth; for the Infinite Divine can be spoken of in no other way than as being Good itself and Truth itself, and therefore the human mind is in no fallacy when it thinks that the Lord is Good itself and Truth itself.

Genesis 17

Studie

   

1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said to him, "I am God Almighty. Walk before me, and be blameless.

2 I will make my covenant between me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly."

3 Abram fell on his face. God talked with him, saying,

4 "As for me, behold, my covenant is with you. You will be the father of a multitude of nations.

5 Neither will your name any more be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham; for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you. Kings will come out of you.

7 I will establish my covenant between me and you and your seed after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

8 I will give to you, and to your seed after you, the land where you are traveling, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession. I will be their God."

9 God said to Abraham, "As for you, you will keep my covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your seed after you. Every male among you shall be circumcised.

11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin. It will be a token of the covenant between me and you.

12 He who is eight days old will be circumcised among you, every male throughout your generations, he who is born in the house, or bought with money from any foreigner who is not of your seed.

13 He who is born in your house, and he who is bought with your money, must be circumcised. My covenant will be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.

14 The uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people. He has broken my covenant."

15 God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but her name will be Sarah.

16 I will bless her, and moreover I will give you a son by her. Yes, I will bless her, and she will be a mother of nations. Kings of peoples will come from her."

17 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, "Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?"

18 Abraham said to God, "Oh that Ishmael might live before you!"

19 God said, "No, but Sarah, your wife, will bear you a son. You shall call his name Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.

20 As for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He will become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

21 But my covenant I establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this set time next year."

22 When he finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.

23 Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house, and all who were bought with his money; every male among the men of Abraham's house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the same day, as God had said to him.

24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

25 Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

26 In the same day both Abraham and Ishmael, his son, were circumcised.

27 All the men of his house, those born in the house, and those bought with money of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.
