Genesis 2

Studie

   

1 At nayari ang langit at ang lupa, at ang lahat na natatanaw sa mga iyon.

2 At nang ikapitong araw ay nayari ng Dios ang kaniyang gawang ginawa; at nagpahinga ng ikapitong araw sa madlang gawa niyang ginawa.

3 At binasbasan ng Dios ang ikapitong araw at kaniyang ipinangilin, sapagka't siyang ipinagpahinga ng Dios sa madlang gawang kaniyang nilikha at ginawa.

4 Ito ang pinangyarihan ng langit at ng lupa, nang likhain noong araw, na gawin ng Panginoong Dios ang lupa't langit.

5 At wala pa sa lupang kahoy sa parang, at wala pang anomang pananim na tumutubo sa parang: (sapagka't hindi pa pinauulanan ng Panginoong Dios ang lupa) at wala pang taong magbukid ng lupa,

6 Nguni't may isang ulap na napaitaas buhat sa lupa at dinilig ang buong ibabaw ng lupa.

7 At nilalang ng Panginoong Dios ang tao sa alabok ng lupa, at hiningahan ang kaniyang mga butas ng ilong ng hininga ng buhay; at ang tao ay naging kaluluwang may buhay.

8 At naglagay ang Panginoong Dios ng isang halamanan sa Eden, sa dakong silanganan: at inilagay niya roon ang taong kaniyang nilalang.

9 At pinatubo ng Panginoong Dios sa lupa ang lahat na punong kahoy na nakalulugod sa paningin, at mabubuting kanin; gayon din ang punong kahoy ng buhay sa gitna ng halamanan, at ang punong kahoy ng pagkakilala ng mabuti at masama.

10 At may isang ilog na lumabas sa Eden na dumilig sa halamanan; at mula roo'y nabahagi at nagapat na sanga.

11 Ang pangalan ng una ay Pison: na siyang lumiligid sa buong lupain ng Havilah, na doo'y may ginto;

12 At ang ginto sa lupang yao'y mabuti; mayroon din naman doong bedelio at batong onix.

13 At ang pangalan ng ikalawang ilog ay Gihon; na siyang lumiligid sa buong lupain ng Cush.

14 At ang pangalan ng ikatlong ilog ay Hiddecel, na siyang umaagos sa tapat ng Asiria. At ang ikaapat na ilog ay ang Eufrates.

15 At kinuha ng Panginoong Dios ang lalake at inilagay sa halamanan ng Eden, upang kaniyang alagaan at ingatan.

16 At iniutos ng Panginoong Dios sa lalake, na sinabi, Sa lahat ng punong kahoy sa halamanan ay makakakain ka na may kalayaan:

17 Datapuwa't sa kahoy ng pagkakilala ng mabuti at masama ay huwag kang kakain; sapagka't sa araw na ikaw ay kumain niyaon ay walang pagsalang mamamatay ka.

18 At sinabi ng Panginoong Dios, Hindi mabuti na ang lalake ay magisa; siya'y ilalalang ko ng isang katulong niya.

19 At nilalang ng Panginoong Dios sa lupa ang lahat ng hayop sa parang at ang lahat ng ibon sa himpapawid; at pinagdadala sa lalake upang maalaman kung anong itatawag niya sa mga iyon: at ang bawa't itinawag ng lalake sa bawa't kinapal na may buhay ay yaon ang naging pangalan niyaon.

20 At pinanganlan ng lalake ang lahat ng mga hayop, at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid, at ang bawa't ganid sa parang; datapuwa't sa lalake ay walang nasumpungang maging katulong niya.

21 At hinulugan ng Panginoong Dios ng di kawasang himbing ang lalake, at siya'y natulog: at kinuha ang isa sa kaniyang mga tadyang at pinapaghilom ang laman sa dakong yaon:

22 At ang tadyang na kinuha ng Panginoong Dios sa lalake ay ginawang isang babae, at ito'y dinala niya sa lalake.

23 At sinabi ng lalake, Ito nga'y buto ng aking mga buto at laman ng aking laman: siya'y tatawaging Babae, sapagka't sa Lalake siya kinuha.

24 Kaya't iiwan ng lalake ang kaniyang ama at ang kaniyang ina, at makikipisan sa kaniyang asawa: at sila'y magiging isang laman.

25 At sila'y kapuwa hubad, ang lalake at ang kaniyang asawa, at sila'y hindi nagkakahiyaan.

Beast

  
"Noah and His Ark" by Charles Willson Peale

In Genesis 1:24, beasts signify the things of man's will or loves. (Arcana Coelestia 44, 46)

In Genesis 9:10, beasts signify all that was living in the man of the Ancient Church, and also what belonged to his new will; likewise the lower things of his understanding and the will therefrom. (Arcana Coelestia 1026-1029)

In Psalm 104:20, beasts signify affections longing to be instructed, or spiritually nourished. (Apocalypse Explained 650[10])

In Luke 10:35, since the beast was a donkey, this signifies to instruct another according to his capability. (Apocalypse Explained 1154)

The beast of the south (Isaiah 30:6) signifies people who are principled in the knowledges of good and of truth, but do not apply them to life and instead to science.

Every beast and creeping thing (Genesis 8:19) signifies the goodnesses of the internal and external man.

"Beasts" represent the affection for doing good things, a true desire to do them from the heart. In the negative sense, "beasts" stand for the lust to do evil.

The beast ascending out of the sea (Revelation 13:1) signifies reasonings from the natural man confirming the separation of faith from life.

(Odkazy: Apocalypse Explained 13, 773; Revelation 13:11)

6451. 'I am being gathered to my people' means that [spiritual good] will come to exist within the forms of good and the truths of the natural which spring from that good. This is clear from the representation of the sons of Israel and of the tribes named after them, to which 'his people' refers here, as forms of good and truths in the natural - dealt with in 3858, 3926, 3939, 5414, 5879, 5951, 6335, 6337 - which, it is self-evident, sprang from him; and from the meaning of 'being gathered to that people' as existing within those forms of good and truths. Since the subject here and in what follows is the gathering of spiritual good, which is 'Israel', that is, its coming to exist within the forms of good and the truths of the natural, which are 'his sons' or the tribes named after them, something must be said about how one is to understand all this.

[2] Within a person there is what is inmost; there are interior things beneath what is inmost; and there are exterior things. All these are utterly distinct and separate. They follow one after another in consecutive order, thus from what is inmost to what is outermost; and in accordance with that consecutive order there is also a flow from one into another. This being so, life flows in by way of what is inmost into the interior things, and by way of the interior things into the exterior ones, in accordance with the order in which they follow one another, and it does not come to rest except in what is last and lowest, where it is brought to a halt. And since interior things flow in accordance with order right through to what is last and lowest and are there brought to a halt, it is evident that interior things exist together within what is last and lowest. But they do so there in the following order: What is inmost and has flowed in occupies the central area; interior things, which are beneath what is inmost, encircle the central area; and exterior things are on the edge all the way round. This applies not merely in what is general and overall but also in every specific thing. The first kind of order is called consecutive order, whereas the second is called simultaneous order. The second arises from the first since everything simultaneous arises from what is consecutive, and then exists as it was when first brought into being.

[3] Because the interior things are also present all together in what is last and lowest, the appearance is that life exists in what is last and lowest, which is the body. The reality however is that it exists in interior things, yet not in them but in what is highest, which is the Lord, the Source of all life. This also explains why the life in the exterior things is obscure when compared with the life in the interior ones, for in exterior things the life is wholly general, the product of many, indeed countless elements that flow in from interior things, yet are seen all together as a general, single whole. All this now shows to some extent how one is to understand the idea that spiritual good, which is 'Israel', will come to exist within the forms of good and the truths of the natural, which are 'his sons' or 'the tribes'. For spiritual good, which is 'Israel', exists in the interior part of the natural, while the forms of good and the truths, which are 'his sons', exist in the exterior part of it. The idea that spiritual good will come to exist in them is meant by 'I am being gathered to my people'.
