創世記 1

Lernen

1 起初創造

2 是空虛混沌,淵面黑暗的靈運行在水面上。

3 :要有,就有了

4 的,就把分開了。

5 為晝,稱為夜。有晚上,有早晨,這是頭日。

6 :諸水之間要有空氣,將水分為上下。

7 就造出空氣,將空氣以的水、空氣以上的水分開了。事就這樣成了。

8 空氣。有晚上,有早晨,是第二日。

9 的水要聚在處,使旱地露出來。事就這樣成了。

10 稱旱,稱水的聚處為著是的。

11 要發生青和結種子的菜蔬,並結果子的樹木,各從其類,果子都包著核。事就這樣成了。

12 於是發生了青和結種子的菜蔬,各從其類;並結果子的樹木,各從其類;果子都包著核。著是的。

13 晚上,有早晨,是第三日。

14 上要有體,可以分晝夜,作記號,定節令、日子、年歲,

15 並要發天空,普照在上。事就這樣成了。

16 於是造了兩個的管晝,小的管夜,又造眾

17 就把這些光擺列在天空,普照在上,

18 管理晝夜,分別明著是的。

19 晚上,有早晨,是第四日。

20 要多多滋生有生命的物;要有雀地面以上,天空之中。

21 就造出魚和水中所滋生各樣有生命的動物,各從其類;又造出各樣飛,各從其類。著是的。

22 就賜福給這一切,說:滋生繁多,充滿中的水;雀也要多生在上。

23 晚上,有早晨,是第五日。

24 要生出活物來,各從其類;牲畜、昆蟲、上的野獸,各從其類。事就這樣成了。

25 於是造出野獸,各從其類;牲畜,各從其類;上一切昆蟲,各從其類。著是的。

26 我們要照著我們的形像、按著我們的樣式造人,使他們管理裡的魚、空中的上的牲畜,和全,並上所爬的一切昆蟲。

27 就照著自己的形像造人,乃是照著他的形像造男造

28 就賜福給他們,又對他們:要生養眾多,遍滿地面,治理這,也要管理裡的魚、空中的,和上各樣行動的活物。

29 :看哪,我將遍上一切結種子的菜蔬和一切上所結有核的果子全賜你們作食物。

30 至於上的走獸和空中的飛,並各樣爬在上有生命的物,我將青賜給他們作食物。事就這樣成了。

31 著一切所造的都甚。有晚上,有早晨,是第六日。

904. And God spake unto Noah. That this signifies the presence of the Lord with the man of this church, is evident from the internal sense of the Word. The Lord speaks with every man, for whatever a man wills and thinks that is good and true, is from the Lord. There are with every man at least two evil spirits and two angels. The evil spirits excite his evils, and the angels inspire things that are good and true. Every good and true thing inspired by the angels is of the Lord; thus the Lord is continually speaking with man, but quite differently with one man than with another. With those who suffer themselves to be led away by evil spirits, the Lord speaks as if absent, or from afar, so that it can scarcely be said that He is speaking; but with those who are being led by the Lord, He speaks as more nearly present; which may be sufficiently evident from the fact that no one can ever think anything good and true except from the Lord.

[2] The presence of the Lord is predicated according to the state of love toward the neighbor and of faith in which the man is. In love toward the neighbor the Lord is present, because He is in all good; but not so much in faith, so called, without love. Faith without love and charity is a separated or disjoined thing. Wherever there is conjunction there must be a conjoining medium, which is nothing else than love and charity, as must be evident to all from the fact that the Lord is merciful to everyone, and loves everyone, and wills to make everyone happy to eternity. He therefore who is not in such love that he is merciful to others, loves them, and wills to make them happy, cannot be conjoined with the Lord, because he is unlike Him and not at all in His image. To look to the Lord by faith, as they say, and at the same time to hate the neighbor, is not only to stand afar off, but is also to have the abyss of hell between themselves and the Lord, into which they would fall if they should approach nearer, for hatred to the neighbor is that infernal abyss which is between.

[3] The presence of the Lord is first possible with a man when he loves the neighbor. The Lord is in love; and so far as a man is in love, so far the Lord is present; and so far as the Lord is present, so far He speaks with the man. Man knows no otherwise than that he thinks from himself, whereas he has not a single idea, nor even the least bit of an idea, from himself; but he has what is evil and false through evil spirits from hell, and what is good and true through angels from the Lord. Such is the influx with man, from which is his life and the interaction of his soul with the body. From these things it is evident what is meant by the words “God spake unto Noah.” His “saying” to anyone means one thing (as Genesis 1:29; 3:13-14, 17; 4:6, 9, 15; 6:13; 7:1), and His “speaking” means another. Here, His speaking to Noah denotes being present, because the subject is now the regenerated man, who is gifted with charity.
