Postanak 9

Studie

   

1 I Bog blagoslovi Noja i sinove njegove, i reče im; rađajte se i množite se i napunite zemlju;

2 I sve zveri zemaljske i sve ptice nebeske i sve što ide po zemlji i sve ribe morske neka vas se boje i straše; sve je predano u vaše ruke.

3 Šta se god miče i živi, neka vam bude za jelo, sve vam to dadoh kao zelenu travu.

4 Ali ne jedite mesa s dušom njegovom, a to mu je krv.

5 Jer ću i vašu krv, duše vaše, iskati; od svake ću je zveri iskati; iz ruke samog čoveka, iz ruke svakog brata njegovog iskaću dušu čovečiju.

6 Ko prolije krv čovečiju, njegovu će krv proliti čovek; jer je Bog po svom obličju stvorio čoveka.

7 Rađajte se dakle i množite se; narodite se veoma na zemlji i namnožite se na njoj.

8 I reče Bog Noju i sinovima njegovim s njim, govoreći:

9 A ja evo postavljam zavet svoj s vama i s vašim semenom nakon vas,

10 I sa svim životinjama, što su s vama od ptica, od stoke i od svih zveri zemaljskih što su s vama, sa svačim što je izašlo iz kovčega, i sa svim zverima zemaljskim.

11 Postavljam zavet svoj s vama, te odsele neće nijedno telo poginuti od potopa, niti će više biti potopa da zatre zemlju.

12 I reče Bog: Evo znak zaveta koji postavljam između sebe i vas i svake žive tvari, koja je s vama do veka:

13 Metnuo sam dugu svoju u oblake, da bude znak zaveta između mene i zemlje.

14 Pa kad oblake navučem na zemlju, videće se duga u oblacima,

15 I opomenuću se zaveta svog koji je između mene i vas i svake duše žive u svakom telu, i neće više biti od vode potopa da zatre svako telo.

16 Duga će biti u oblacima, pa ću je pogledati, i opomenuću se večnog zaveta između Boga i svake duše žive u svakom telu koje je na zemlji.

17 I reče Bog Noju: To je znak zaveta koji sam učinio između sebe i svakog tela na zemlji.

18 A behu sinovi Nojevi koji izađoše iz kovčega: Sim i Ham i Jafet; a Ham je otac Hanancima.

19 To su tri sina Nojeva, i od njih se naseli sva zemlja.

20 A Noje poče raditi zemlju, i posadi vinograd.

21 I napiv se vina opi se, i otkri se nasred šatora svog.

22 A Ham, otac Hanancima, vide golotinju oca svog, i kaza obojici braće svoje na polju.

23 A Sim i Jafet uzeše haljinu, i ogrnuše je obojica na ramena svoja, i idući natraške pokriše njom golotinju oca svog, licem natrag okrenuvši se da ne vide golotinje oca svog.

24 A kad se Noje probudi od vina, dozna šta mu je učinio mlađi sin,

25 I reče: Proklet da je Hanan, i da bude sluga slugama braće svoje!

26 I još reče: Blagosloven da je Gospod Bog Simov, i Hanan da mu bude sluga!

27 Bog da raširi Jafeta da živi u šatorima Simovim, a Hanan da im bude sluga!

28 I požive Noje posle potopa trista pedeset godina.

29 A svega požive Noje devet stotina pedeset godina; i umre.

788. The waters increased and bare up the ark, and it was lifted up from off the earth. That this signifies that such was its fluctuation, and that “the waters were strengthened and increased greatly upon the earth, and the ark went upon the face of the waters” signifies that its fluctuations thus increased in frequency and strength, cannot be evident unless there be first explained what was the state of this church which is called “Noah.” “Noah” was not the Ancient Church itself, but was as the parent or seed of that church, as before said. “Noah” together with “Shem, Ham, and Japheth” constituted the Ancient Church, which immediately succeeded the Most Ancient. Every man of the church called “Noah” was of the posterity of the Most Ancient Church, and with respect to hereditary evil was therefore in a state nearly like that of the rest of the posterity, which perished; and those who were in such a state could not be regenerated and made spiritual as could those who did not derive such quality by inheritance. What their hereditary quality was, has been stated above n. 310).

[2] For example (that the matter may be more clearly understood); they who, like the Jews, are of the seed of Jacob, cannot so well be regenerated as can the Gentiles, for they have an inherent opposition to faith, not only from principles imbibed from infancy and afterwards confirmed, but from hereditary disposition also. That this inheres also from hereditary disposition, may in some measure be evident from their being of a different genius, of different manners, and also of different features, from other men, whereby they are distinguishable from others; and these characteristics they have from inheritance. And it is the same with the interior qualities, for manners and features are types of the interiors. Therefore converted Jews fluctuate more than others between truth and falsity. It was the same with the first men of the Ancient Church, who were called “Noah” because they were of the race and seed of the most ancient men. These are the fluctuations described here, and also in what follows: that Noah was a husbandman and planted a vineyard; and that he drank of the wine, and was drunken, and lay uncovered within his tent (Genesis 9:20-21). That they were few, was made evident from the fact that the man of that church was represented in the world of spirits as a tall and slender man, clothed in white, in a chamber of small dimensions. And yet it was they who preserved and had among them the doctrinal things of faith.
