1 耶和华亚伯兰:你要离开本、本族、父家,往我所要指示你的去。

2 我必叫你成为国。我必赐福给你,叫你的名为;你也要叫别人得福。

3 为你祝福的,我必赐福与他;那咒诅你的,我必咒诅他。地上的万族都要因你得福。

4 亚伯兰就照着耶和华的吩咐去了;罗得也和他同去。亚伯兰哈兰的时候年七十五岁。

5 亚伯兰将他妻子撒莱和侄儿罗得,连他们在哈兰所积蓄的财物、所得的人口,都带往迦南去。他们就到了迦南

6 亚伯兰经过那,到了示剑地方、摩利橡树那里。那时迦南人住在那

7 耶和华亚伯兰显现,:我要把这你的後裔。亚伯兰就在那里为向他显现的耶和华筑了一座

8 从那里他又迁到伯特利东边的,支搭帐棚;西边是伯特利,东边是艾。他在那里又为耶和华筑了一座,求告耶和华的名。

9 後来亚伯兰又渐渐迁往地去。

10 遭遇饥荒。因饥荒甚大,亚伯兰埃及去,要在那里暂居。

11 将近埃及,就对他妻子撒莱:我知道你是容貌俊美的妇人

12 埃及人见你必:这是他的妻子,他们就要杀我,却叫你存活。

13 求你,你是我的妹子,使我因你得平安,我的命也因你存活。

14 及至亚伯兰到了埃及埃及人见那妇人极其美貌。

15 法老的臣宰见了他,就在法老面前夸奖他。那妇人就被带进法老的宫去。

16 法老因这妇人就厚待亚伯兰亚伯兰得了许多牛、骆驼、公、母、仆婢。

17 耶和华亚伯兰妻子撒莱的缘故,降灾与法老和他的全家。

18 法老就召了亚伯兰来,:你这向我作的是甚麽事呢?为甚麽没有告诉我他是你的妻子

19 为甚麽他是你的妹子,以致我把他取来要作我的妻子?现在你的妻子在这里,可以带他走罢。

20 於是法老吩咐人将亚伯兰和他妻子,并他所有的都送走了。

2523. She is my sister. That this signifies that it was the rational which should be consulted (that is, that he so thought), is evident from the signification of “sister” in this chapter as being rational truth (see n. 1495, 2508). In the internal sense of the Word the Lord’s whole life is described, such as it was to be in the world, even as to the perceptions and thoughts, for these were foreseen and provided because from the Divine; this being done for the additional reason that all these things might be set forth at that time as present to the angels, who perceive the Word according to the internal sense; and that so the Lord might be before them, and at the same time how by successive steps He put off the human, and put on the Divine. Unless these things had been as if present to the angels, through the Word, and also through all the rites in the Jewish Church, the Lord would have been obliged to come into the world immediately after the fall of the Most Ancient Church, which is called Man or Adam; for there was an immediate prophecy of the Lord’s advent (Genesis 3:15); and what is more, the human race of that time could not otherwise have been saved.

[2] As regards the Lord’s life itself, it was a continual progression of the Human to the Divine, even to absolute union (as already frequently stated), for in order that He might combat with the hells and overcome them, He must needs do it from the Human; for there is no combat with the hells from the Divine. It therefore pleased Him to put on the human like another man, to be an infant like another, to grow up into knowledges [in scientias et in cognitiones], which things are represented by Abraham’s sojourning in Egypt (chapter 12), and now in Gerar; thus it pleased Him to cultivate the rational as another man, and in this way to disperse its shade, and bring it into light, and this from His own power. That the Lord’s progression from the Human to the Divine was of this nature, can be denied by no one if he only considers that He was a little child, and learned to talk like one; and so on. But there was this difference: that the Divine Itself was in Him, seeing that He was conceived of Jehovah.
