Génesis 36

Studie

   

1 Y estas son las generaciones de Esaú, el cual es Edom.

2 Esaú tomó sus mujeres de las hijas de Canaán: a Ada, hija de Elón, el heteo, y a Aholibama, hija de Aná, hijo de Zibeón, el heveo;

3 Y a Basemat, hija de Ismael, hermana de Nebaiot.

4 Y Ada dio a luz a Esaú a Elifaz; y Basemat dio a luz a Reuel.

5 Y Aholibama dio a luz a Jeús, y a Jaalam, y a Coré: estos son los hijos de Esaú, que le nacieron en la tierra de Canaán.

6 Y Esaú tomó sus mujeres, y sus hijos, y sus hijas, y todas las personas de su casa, y sus ganados, y todas sus bestias, y toda su hacienda que había adquirido en la tierra de Canaán, y se fue a otra tierra de delante de Jacob su hermano.

7 Porque la hacienda de ellos era grande, y no podían habitar juntos, ni la tierra de su peregrinación los podía sostener a causa de sus ganados.

8 Y Esaú habitó en el monte de Seir; Esaú es Edom.

9 Estos son los linajes de Esaú, padre de Edom, en el monte de Seir.

10 Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Esaú: Elifaz, hijo de Ada, mujer de Esaú; Reuel, hijo de Basemat, mujer de Esaú.

11 Y los hijos de Elifaz fueron Temán, Omar, Zefo, Gatam, y Cenaz.

12 Y Timna fue concubina de Elifaz, hijo de Esaú, la cual le dio a luz a Amalec: estos son los hijos de Ada, mujer de Esaú.

13 Y los hijos de Reuel fueron Nahat, Zera, Sama, y Miza: estos son los hijos de Basemat, mujer de Esaú.

14 Estos fueron los hijos de Aholibama, mujer de Esaú, hija de Aná, que fue hijo de Zibeón; ella dio a luz a Esaú a Jeús, Jaalam, y Coré.

15 Estos son los duques de los hijos de Esaú. Los hijos de Elifaz, primogénito de Esaú: el duque Temán, el duque Omar, el duque Zefo, el duque Cenaz,

16 El duque Coré, el duque Gatam, y el duque Amalec: estos son los duques de Elifaz en la tierra de Edom; estos son los hijos de Ada.

17 Y estos son los hijos de Reuel, hijo de Esaú: el duque Nahat, el duque Zera, el duque Sama, y el duque Miza; estos son los duques que salieron de Reuel en la tierra de Edom; estos son los hijos de Basemat, mujer de Esaú.

18 Y estos son los hijos de Aholibama, mujer de Esaú: el duque Jeús, el duque Jaalam, y el duque Coré; estos son los duques que salieron de Aholibama, mujer de Esaú, hija de Aná.

19 Estos, pues, son los hijos de Esaú, y sus duques: él es Edom.

20 Y estos son los hijos de Seir, el horeo, moradores de aquella tierra: Lotán, Sobal, Zibeón, Aná,

21 Disón, Ezer, y Disán: estos son los duques de los horeos, hijos de Seir en la tierra de Edom.

22 Los hijos de Lotán fueron Hori y Hemán; y Timna fue hermana de Lotán.

23 Y los hijos de Sobal fueron Alván, Manahat, Ebal, Sefo, y Onam.

24 Y los hijos de Zibeón fueron Aja, y Aná. Este Aná es el que inventó los mulos en el desierto, cuando apacentaba los asnos de Zibeón su padre.

25 Los hijos de Aná fueron Disón, y Aholibama, hija de Aná.

26 Y estos fueron los hijos de Disón: Hemdán, Esbán, Itrán, y Querán.

27 Y estos fueron los hijos de Ezer: Bilhán, Zaaván, y Acán.

28 Estos fueron los hijos de Disán: Uz, y Arán.

29 Y estos fueron los duques de los horeos: el duque Lotán, el duque Sobal, el duque Zibeón, el duque Aná.

30 El duque Disón, el duque Ezer, el duque Disán: estos fueron los duques de los horeos; por sus ducados en la tierra de Seir.

31 Y los reyes que reinaron en la tierra de Edom, antes que reinase rey sobre los hijos de Israel, fueron estos:

32 Bela, hijo de Beor, reinó en Edom: y el nombre de su ciudad fue Dinaba.

33 Y murió Bela, y reinó por él Jobab, hijo de Zera, de Bosra.

34 Y murió Jobab, y reinó por él Husam, de tierra de Temán.

35 Y murió Husam, y reinó por él Hadad, hijo de Bedad, el que hirió a Madián en el campo de Moab; y el nombre de su ciudad fue Avit.

36 Y murió Hadad, y reinó por él Samla, de Masreca.

37 Y murió Samla, y reinó en su lugar Saúl, de Rehobot del Río.

38 Y murió Saúl, y reinó por él Baal-hanán, hijo de Acbor.

39 Y murió Baal-hanán, hijo de Acbor, y reinó por él Hadar en lugar suyo; y el nombre de su ciudad fue Pau; y el nombre de su mujer Mehetabel, hija de Matred, hija de Mezaab.

40 Estos, pues, son los nombres de los duques de Esaú por sus linajes y sus lugares por sus nombres: el duque Timna, el duque Alva, el duque Jetet,

41 El duque Aholibama, el duque Ela, el duque Pinón,

42 El duque Cenaz, el duque Temán, el duque Mibzar,

43 El duque Magdiel, y el duque Iram. Estos fueron los duques de Edom por sus habitaciones en la tierra de su heredad. Este es el Esaú, padre de Edom.

1416. That 'I will make you into a great nation' means a kingdom in heaven and on earth becomes clear from the meaning of 'nation' in the internal sense as the celestial entity of love and the good which flows from this, thus all throughout the world in whom the celestial element of love and charity is present. Since the subject here in the internal sense is the Lord, everything of the celestial and of the good deriving from it, thus His kingdom, is meant - which exists with those in whom love and charity are present. In the highest sense the Lord Himself is 'the great nation' since He is the Celestial itself and Good itself. For all good that flows from love and charity originates in Him alone, which also explains why the Lord comprises His own kingdom, that is, He is the All in all of His kingdom, as also all angels in heaven acknowledge. From this it is now clear that 'I will make you into a great nation' means the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth.

[2] That 'nation' in the internal sense, where the Lord and celestial things of love are the subject, means Him and all celestial things may become clear also from what has been introduced in 1258, 1259, regarding the meaning of a nation and nations. This matter may be confirmed further still from the following places: In reference to Abraham further on,

No longer will your name be called Abram, but your name will be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. Genesis 17:5.

The soft 'h' sound in Abraham was taken from Jehovah's name because he represented Jehovah, that is, the Lord. Similarly in reference to Sarai,

You will not call her name Sarai, but Sarah will be her name, and I will bless her, and I will also give you a son by her; thus will I bless her, and she will become nations; kings of peoples will be from her. Genesis 17:15-16.

'Nations' here stands for the celestial things of love, and 'kings of peoples' for the spiritual things of faith deriving from that love, which are the Lord's alone.

[3] In reference to Jacob likewise,

Your name will no longer be called Jacob, but Israel will be your name. And He called his name Israel, and God said, I am God Almighty, 1 increase and multiply; a nation and an assembly of nations will come into being from you, and kings will go out from your loins. Genesis 35:10-11.

Here 'Israel' stands for the Lord, who Himself, as is well known to some, is in the highest sense Israel. And when He is meant by 'Israel' it is evident that 'a nation and an assembly of nations' and 'kings from his loins' mean the celestial and spiritual things of love, and therefore all in whom the celestial and spiritual things of love are present. In reference to Ishmael, Abram's son by Hagar, it is said,

The son of the servant-girl I will make into a nation, because he is your seed. Genesis 21:13, 18.

What Ishmael represents will be seen in that place. 'The seed of Abram' means love itself, and because of this the word nation is used for those begotten from Ishmael.

[4] That 'nation' means the celestial things of love is clear in Moses,

If you will surely hearken to My voice, and keep My covenant and be a peculiar treasure to Me from among all peoples, you will be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. Exodus 19:5-6.

Here 'a kingdom of priests', a phrase used to describe the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, springing from the celestial things of love, is openly called 'a holy nation'. But the Lord's kingdom springing from His Royalty is described as such by virtue of the spiritual things of love and is called 'a holy people'. 'Kings from the loins' therefore, as above, 2 is spiritual things. In Jeremiah,

If these ordinances depart from before Me, said Jehovah, the seed of Israel also will cease from being a nation before Me for ever. 3 Jeremiah 31:36.

'Seed of Israel' stands for the celestial entity of charity, and when this ceases to exist there is no longer a nation before the Lord.

[5] In Isaiah,

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light. You have multiplied the nation. Isaiah 9:2-3.

Specifically this refers to the Church of the nations, 4 , but in general to all who are without knowledge but lead charitable lives. These are 'the nation' because they are members of the Lord's kingdom. In David,

O that I may see the good of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of Your nation, that I may glory in Your heritage. Psalms 106:5.

Here 'nation' plainly stands for the Lord's kingdom. It was from an ability to perceive that 'a nation' meant the celestial entity of love and the good which flows from this that members of the Most Ancient Church came to be distinguished into separate houses, families, and nations. By this distinguishing they gained a perception of the Lord's kingdom; and because they had a perception of the Lord's kingdom they had a perception of the celestial itself. From that ability to perceive there arose that which held a spiritual meaning, and from this that which was representative.

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.
