Genesis 9

Studie

   

1 At binasbasan ng Dios si Noe at ang kaniyang mga anak, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Kayo'y magpalaanakin, at magpakarami at inyong kalatan ang lupa.

2 At ang takot sa inyo at sindak sa inyo ay mapapasa bawa't hayop sa lupa, at sa bawa't ibon sa himpapawid; lahat ng umuusad sa lupa, at lahat ng isda sa dagat, ay ibinibigay sa inyong kamay.

3 Bawa't gumagalaw na nabubuhay ay magiging pagkain ninyo; gaya ng mga sariwang pananim na lahat ay ibinibigay ko sa inyo.

4 Nguni't ang lamang may buhay, na siya niyang dugo, ay huwag ninyong kakanin.

5 At tunay na hihingan ko ng sulit ang inyong dugo, ang dugo ng inyong mga buhay: sa kamay ng bawa't ganid ay hihingan ko ng sulit; at sa kamay ng tao, sa kamay ng bawa't kapatid ng tao ay hihingan ko ng sulit ang buhay ng tao.

6 Ang magbubo ng dugo ng tao, sa pamamagitan ng tao ay mabububo ang kaniyang dugo: sapagka't sa larawan ng Dios nilalang ang tao.

7 At kayo'y magpalaanakin at magpakarami; magsilago kayo ng sagana sa lupa, at kayo'y magsidami riyan.

8 At nagsalita ang Dios kay Noe, at sa kaniyang mga anak na kasama niya, na sinasabi,

9 At ako, narito, aking pinagtitibay ang aking tipan sa inyo, at sa inyong binhi na susunod sa inyo;

10 At sa bawa't nilikhang may buhay na kasama ninyo, ang mga ibon, ang hayop at bawa't ganid sa lupa na kasama ninyo; sa lahat ng lumunsad sa sasakyan pati sa bawa't ganid sa lupa.

11 At aking pagtitibayin ang aking tipan sa inyo; ni hindi ko na lilipulin ang lahat ng laman sa pamamagitan ng tubig ng baha; ni hindi na magkakaroon pa ng bahang gigiba ng lupa.

12 At sinabi ng Dios, Ito ang tanda ng tipang ginawa ko sa inyo, at sa bawa't kinapal na may buhay na kasama ninyo sa buong panahon:

13 Ang aking bahaghari ay inilalagay ko sa alapaap, at siyang magiging tanda ng tipan ko at ng lupa.

14 At mangyayari, pagka ako'y magbababa ng isang alapaap sa ibabaw ng lupa, na makikita ang bahaghari sa alapaap.

15 At aalalahanin ko ang aking tipan, na inilagda ko sa akin at sa inyo, at sa bawa't kinapal na may buhay sa lahat ng laman; at ang tubig ay hindi na magiging bahang lilipol ng lahat ng laman.

16 At ang bahaghari ay pasa sa alapaap, at aking mamasdan, upang aking maalaala, ang walang hanggang tipan ng Dios at ng bawa't kinapal na may buhay sa lahat ng lamang nasa ibabaw ng lupa.

17 At sinabi ng Dios kay Noe, Ito ang tanda ng tipang inilagda ko sa akin at sa lahat ng laman na nasa ibabaw ng lupa.

18 At ang mga anak ni Noe na nagsilunsad sa sasakyan ay si Sem, at si Cham at si Japhet: at si Cham ay siyang ama ni Canaan.

19 Ang tatlong ito ay mga anak ni Noe: at sa mga ito'y nakalatan ang buong lupa.

20 At nagpasimula si Noe na maging mangbubukid, at naglagay ng isang ubasan.

21 At uminom ng alak at nalango; at siya'y nahubaran sa loob ng kaniyang tolda.

22 At si Cham na ama ni Canaan ay nakakita ng kahubaran ng kaniyang ama, at isinaysay sa kaniyang dalawang kapatid na nangasa labas.

23 At kumuha si Sem at si Japhet ng isang balabal, at isinabalikat nilang dalawa, at lumakad ng paurong, at tinakpan ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama; at ang mukha nila ay patalikod, at hindi nila nakita ang kahubaran ng kanilang ama.

24 At nagising si Noe sa kaniyang pagkalango sa alak, at naalaman ang ginawa sa kaniya ng kaniyang bunsong anak.

25 At sinabi, Sumpain si Canaan! Siya'y magiging alipin ng mga alipin sa kaniyang mga kapatid.

26 At sinabi niya, Purihin ang Panginoon, ang Dios ni Sem! At si Canaan ay maging alipin niya.

27 Pakapalin ng Dios si Japhet. At matira siya sa mga tolda ni Sem; At si Canaan ay maging alipin niya.

28 At nabuhay si Noe pagkaraan ng bahang gumunaw, ng tatlong daan at limang pung taon.

29 At ang lahat ng naging araw ni Noe ay siyam na raan at limang pung taon: at namatay.

1330. That 'these are the generations of Shem' means the derivatives of the second Ancient Church is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as the origin and derivation of forms of doctrine and of worship, as stated already in 1145. Here and elsewhere in the Word 'generations' are nothing other than the things that constitute the Church, thus forms of doctrine and of worship. The internal sense of the Word encompasses nothing else. Consequently when any Church is born the generations of it are mentioned, as with the Most Ancient Church in Genesis 2:4, 'These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth'; and likewise with the other Churches that succeeded it before the Flood, 'This is the book of the generations', Genesis 5:1. The same is true of the Churches after the Flood which were three in number - the first called Noah, the second taking its name from Eber, the third from Jacob and subsequently from Judah and Israel. Verse 1 of the previous chapter, where the first Church is described, starts in similar fashion, 'These are the generations of the sons of Noah', as does the present verse in reference to this second Church taking its name from Eber, 'These are the generations of Shem', and in reference to the third as well, in verse 27 below, 'These are the generations of Terah'. Consequently 'generations' means nothing other than the origins and derivatives of forms of doctrine and of worship in the Church that is being described. The reason why the generations of this second Ancient Church are traced back to Shem, that is, why its beginning is described from Shem onwards, is that 'Shem' means internal worship, here the internal worship of this Church. Not that the nature of the internal worship of this Church was the same as that meant by 'Shem' in the previous chapter, but only that it is the internal worship of this Church.

Arcana Coelestia # 3263

3263. 'These are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son' means derivatives of the spiritual Church represented by Ishmael. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as derivatives of faith and so of the Church, dealt with in 1145, 1255, 1330; from the representation of 'Ishmael' as those who are rational, and who belong to the Lord's spiritual Church, dealt with in 2078, 2691, 2699; and from the meaning of Abraham's sons as those with whom truth from the Lord is present, for 'sons' means truths, 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and 'Abraham' represents the Lord, even as to the Divine Human, 3251, the source of truth and good received by those who are spiritual, 2661, 2716, 2833, 2834.

[2] As regards the Lord's spiritual Church it should be realized that it exists throughout the whole world, for it is not confined to those who possess the Word and from the Word have knowledge of the Lord and of some truths of faith. It also exists among those who do not possess the Word and therefore do not know the Lord at all, and as a consequence have no knowledge of any truths of faith - for all truths of faith regard the Lord. That is, it exists with gentiles remote from the Church. For among those people there are many who know from the light of reason that there is one God, that He has created and preserves all things; and also that He is the source of everything good, and consequently of everything true; and that being the likeness of Him makes a person blessed. And what is more, they live up to their religion, in love to that God and in love towards the neighbour. From an affection for good they perform the works of charity, and from an affection for truth they worship the Supreme Being. Such people among the gentiles belong to the Lord's spiritual Church. And although they do not know the Lord while they are in the world they nevertheless have within themselves a worship and virtual acknowledgement of Him when good exists within them, for the Lord is present within all good. For this reason also they acknowledge the Lord in the next life without difficulty, and receive the truths of faith better than Christians do in whom good is not so much present, as may be seen from what has been disclosed from experience about the state and condition in the next life of nations and peoples outside the Church, in 2589-2604. Their natural light present in their minds holds spiritual light within it, for without spiritual light received from the Lord such truths cannot possibly be acknowledged.

[3] From this it may now become clear what Ishmael means, and therefore what the Ishmaelites mean, in the representative sense - those belonging to the Lord's spiritual Church who lead lives of simple goodness and therefore rely on natural truth for doctrine. Such people are also meant by the Ishmaelites in the following statement regarding Joseph,

Behold, a band of Ishmaelites came from Gilead, and their camels bearing wax, resin, and stacte, taking them down into Egypt. Genesis 37:25.

Here 'Ishmaelites' stands for those in whom simple good is present, such as exists with upright gentiles. 'Camels bearing wax, resin, and stacte' stands for the interior goods of such people. The same is meant by the Ishmaelites mentioned in verse 28 of that chapter, and in 39:1, as well as in the Book of Judges, in the reference to Gideon's requesting everyone to give him the earrings of his spoil, for being indeed Ishmaelites they had gold earrings, Judges 8:24. 'Gold earrings' means the things that constitute simple good, 3103.
