Genesis 7

Studie

   

1 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Noe, Lumulan ka at ang iyong buong sangbahayan sa sasakyan; sapagka't ikaw ay aking nakitang matuwid sa harap ko sa panahong ito.

2 Sa bawa't malinis na hayop ay kukuha ka ng tigpipito, ng lalake at ng kaniyang babae; at sa mga hayop na hindi malinis ay dalawa, ng lalake at ng kaniyang babae;

3 Gayon din naman sa mga ibon sa himpapawid tigpipito, ng lalake at ng babae; upang ingatang binhing buhay sa ibabaw ng buong lupa.

4 Sapagka't pitong araw pa, at pauulanan ko na ang ibabaw ng lupa ng apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi, at aking lilipulin ang lahat ng may buhay na aking nilikha sa balat ng lupa.

5 At ginawa ni Noe ayon sa lahat na iniutos sa kaniya ng Panginoon.

6 At may anim na raang taon si Noe nang ang baha ng tubig ay dumagsa sa ibabaw ng lupa.

7 At lumulan sa sasakyan si Noe at ang kaniyang mga anak, at ang kaniyang asawa, at ang mga asawa ng kaniyang mga anak, dahil sa tubig ng baha.

8 Sa mga hayop na malinis, at sa mga hayop na hindi malinis, at sa mga ibon at sa bawa't umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa,

9 Ay dalawa't dalawang dumating kay Noe sa sasakyan, na lalake at babae ayon sa iniutos ng Dios kay Noe.

10 At nangyari na pagkaraan ng pitong araw, na ang tubig ng baha ay umapaw sa ibabaw ng lupa.

11 Sa ikaanim na raang taon ng buhay ni Noe, nang ikalawang buwan, sa ikalabing pitong araw ng buwan, nang araw ding yaon, ay nangasira ang lahat ng bukal ng lubhang kalaliman, at ang mga durungawan ng langit ay nabuksan.

12 At umulan sa ibabaw ng lupa ng apat na pung araw at apat na pung gabi.

13 Nang araw ding yaon, ay lumulan sa sasakyan si Noe, at si Sem, at si Cham, at si Japhet, na mga anak ni Noe, at ang asawa ni Noe, at ang tatlong asawa ng kaniyang mga anak na kasama nila;

14 Sila, at ang bawa't hayop gubat ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at lahat ng hayop na maamo ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at bawa't umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa ayon sa kanikanilang uri, at bawa't ibon ayon sa kanikanilang uri, lahat ng sarisaring ibon.

15 At nagsidating kay Noe sa sasakyan na dalawa't dalawa, ang lahat ng hayop na may hinga ng buhay.

16 At ang mga nagsilulan, ay lumulang lalake at babae, ng lahat na laman, gaya ng iniutos sa kaniya ng Dios: at kinulong siya ng Panginoon.

17 At tumagal ang baha ng apat na pung araw sa ibabaw ng lupa; at lumaki ang tubig at lumutang ang sasakyan, at nataas sa ibabaw ng lupa.

18 At dumagsa ang tubig at lumaking mainam sa ibabaw ng lupa; at lumutang ang sasakyan sa ibabaw ng tubig.

19 At dumagsang lubha ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa: at inapawan ang lahat na mataas na bundok na nasa silong ng buong langit.

20 Labing limang siko ang lalim na idinagsa ng tubig; at inapawan ang mga bundok.

21 At namatay ang lahat ng lamang gumagalaw sa ibabaw ng lupa, ang mga ibon at gayon din ang hayop, at ang hayop gubat, at ang bawa't nagsisiusad na umuusad sa ibabaw ng lupa, at ang bawa't tao.

22 Ang bawa't may hinga ng diwa ng buhay sa kanilang ilong, lahat na nasa lupang tuyo ay namatay.

23 At nilipol ang bawa't may buhay na nasa ibabaw ng lupa, ang tao at gayon din ang hayop, at ang mga umuusad at ang mga ibon sa himpapawid; at sila'y nalipol sa lupa: at ang natira lamang, ay si Noe at ang mga kasama niya sa sasakyan.

24 At tumagal ang tubig sa ibabaw ng lupa, ng isang daan at limang pung araw.

3623. 'What would life hold for me?' means, and so there would not be any conjunction. This is clear from the meaning of 'life' as conjunction by means of truths and goods. For when it was not possible for any truth from a common stem or genuine source to be joined to natural truth, there could not be any alliance of the natural to the truth of the rational, in which case it seemed to the rational as though its own life were no life, 3493, 3620. This is why here 'what would life hold for me?' means, and so there would not be any conjunction. Here and in other places the word 'life' in the original language is plural, and the reason for this is that in man there are two powers of life. The first is called the understanding and is the receptacle of truth, the second is called the will and is the receptacle of good. These two forms or powers of life make one when the understanding is rooted in the will, or what amounts to the same, when truth is grounded in good. This explains why in Hebrew the noun 'life' is sometimes singular, sometimes plural. The plural form of that noun is used in all the following places, Jehovah God formed the man, dust from the ground; and He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7. Jehovah God caused to spring up out of the ground every tree desirable to the sight and good for food, and the tree of life in the middle of the garden. Genesis 2:9. Behold, I am bringing a flood of waters over the earth, to destroy all flesh in which there is the spirit of life. Genesis 6:17.

They went in to Noah into the ark, two by two from all flesh in which there is the spirit of life. Genesis 7:15 (in 780).

Everything which had the breath of the spirit of life in its nostrils breathed its last. Genesis 7:12.

In David,

I believe [I am going] to see the goodness of Jehovah in the land of the living. Psalms 27:13.

In the same author,

Who is the man who desires life, who loves [many] days, that he may see good? Psalms 34:12

In the same author,

With You, O Jehovah, is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light. Psalms 36:9.

In Malachi,

My covenant with Levi was [a covenant] of life and peace. Malachi 2:5.

In Jeremiah,

Thus said Jehovah, Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death. Jeremiah 21:8.

In Moses,

To love Jehovah your God, to obey His voice, and to cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days, so that you may dwell in the land. Deuteronomy 30:20.

In the same author,

It is not an empty word from you; for it is your life, and through this word you will prolong your days in the land. Deuteronomy 32:47.

And in other places too the plural form of the noun 'life' is used in the original language because, as has been stated, there are two kinds of life which yet make one. It is similar with the word 'heavens' in the Hebrew language, in that the heavens are many and yet make one, or like the expression 'waters' above and below, in Genesis 1:7-9 , by which spiritual things in the rational and in the natural are meant which ought to be one through being joined together. As for the plural form of 'life', when this is used both the life of the will and that of the understanding are meant, and therefore both the life of good and that of truth are meant. For man's life consists in nothing else than good and truth which hold life from the Lord within them. Devoid of good and truth, and of the life which these hold within them, no one is human. For devoid of these no one would ever have been able to will or to think anything. Everything that a person wills originates in good or in that which is not good, and everything he thinks originates in truth or in that which is not truth. Consequently man possesses two kinds of life and these make one when his thinking flows from his willing, that is, when truth which is the truth of faith flows from good which is the good of love.
