Postanak 2

Studie

   

1 Tako se dovrši nebo i zemlja i sva vojska njihova.

2 I svrši Bog do sedmog dana dela svoja, koja učini; i počinu u sedmi dan od svih dela svojih, koja učini;

3 I blagoslovi Bog sedmi dan, i posveti ga, jer u taj dan počinu od svih dela svojih, koja učini;

4 To je postanje neba i zemlje, kad postaše, kad Gospod Bog stvori zemlju i nebo,

5 I svaku biljku poljsku, dokle je još ne beše na zemlji, i svaku travku poljsku, dokle još ne nicaše; jer Gospod Bog još ne pusti dažda na zemlju, niti beše čoveka da radi zemlju,

6 Ali se podizaše para sa zemlje da natapa svu zemlju.

7 A stvori Gospod Bog čoveka od praha zemaljskog, i dunu mu u nos duh životni; i posta čovek duša živa.

8 I nasadi Gospod Bog vrt u Edemu na istoku; i onde namesti čoveka, kog stvori.

9 I učini Gospod Bog, te nikoše iz zemlje svakakva drveća lepa za gledanje i dobra za jelo, i drvo od života usred vrta i drvo od znanja dobra i zla.

10 A voda tečaše iz Edema natapajući vrt, i odande se deljaše u četiri reke.

11 Jednoj je ime Fison, ona teče oko cele zemlje evilske, a onde ima zlata,

12 I zlato je one zemlje vrlo dobro; onde ima i bdela i dragog kamena oniha.

13 A drugoj je reci ime Geon, ona teče oko cele zemlje huske.

14 A trećoj je reci ime Hidekel, ona teče k asirskoj. A četvrta je reka Efrat.

15 I uzevši Gospod Bog čoveka namesti ga u vrtu edemskom, da ga radi i da ga čuva.

16 I zapreti Gospod Bog čoveku govoreći: Jedi slobodno sa svakog drveta u vrtu;

17 Ali s drveta od znanja dobra i zla, s njega ne jedi; jer u koji dan okusiš s njega, umrećeš.

18 I reče Gospod Bog: Nije dobro da je čovek sam; da mu načinim druga prema njemu.

19 Jer Gospod Bog stvori od zemlje sve zveri poljske i sve ptice nebeske, i dovede k Adamu da vidi kako će koju nazvati, pa kako Adam nazove koju životinju onako da joj bude ime;

20 I Adam nadede ime svakom živinčetu i svakoj ptici nebeskoj i svakoj zveri poljskoj; ali se ne nađe Adamu drug prema njemu.

21 I Gospod Bog pusti tvrd san na Adama, te zaspa; pa mu uze jedno rebro, i mesto popuni mesom;

22 I Gospod Bog stvori ženu od rebra, koje uze Adamu, i dovede je k Adamu.

23 A Adam reče: Sada eto kost od mojih kosti, i telo od mog tela. Neka joj bude ime čovečica, jer je uzeta od čoveka.

24 Zato će ostaviti čovek oca svog i mater svoju, i prilepiće se k ženi svojoj, i biće dvoje jedno telo.

25 A behu oboje goli. Adam i žena mu, i ne beše ih sramota.

Conjugial Love # 353

353. To this I will append two narrative accounts. Here is the first:

I was once in the midst of angels and overheard their conversation. They were talking about intelligence and wisdom, saying that a person has no other perception than that these are both in him, consequently that whatever he thinks with his intellect and intends from his will is from him - even though not a bit of it is from the person, beyond a capacity to receive those things having to do with the intellect and will from God. Moreover, because every person is inclined from birth to love himself, they said, to keep a person from perishing from love of self and a conceit in his own intelligence, it has been provided from creation that that love in a man be transferred to his wife, and that it be implanted in her from birth to love the intelligence and wisdom of her husband and thus the man. That is why a wife continually draws her husband's conceit in his own intelligence to herself, extinguishing it in him and causing it to live in her, thus turning it into conjugial love and filling it with gratifications beyond measure. This has been provided by the Lord, they said, to keep a man from becoming so infatuated with his own intelligence that he believes himself to be intelligent and wise from himself rather than from the Lord, thus wishing to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and suppose himself on that account to be like God, and also God Himself, as said and urged by the serpent, which symbolized the love of one's own intelligence. After eating of the tree, man was therefore expelled from Paradise, and a cherub guarded the way to the tree of life. 1 (Paradise, in its spiritual meaning, is intelligence. To eat of the tree of life is, spiritually, to be intelligent and wise from the Lord. And to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is, spiritually, to be intelligent and wise from self.)
