1 这事以耶和华异象中有亚伯兰说:亚伯兰,你不要惧!我是你的盾牌,必大大的赏赐你。

2 亚伯兰耶和华阿,我既无子,你还赐我甚麽呢?并且要承受我家业的是大马色人以利以谢。

3 亚伯兰:你没有儿子;那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。

4 耶和华又有对他:这人必不成为你的後嗣;你本身所生的才成为你的後嗣。

5 於是领他走到外边,:你向观看,算众,能得过来麽?又对他:你的後裔将要如此。

6 亚伯兰信耶和华耶和华就以此为他的

7 耶和华又对他:我是耶和华,曾领你出了迦勒底的吾珥,为要将这赐你为业。

8 亚伯兰耶和华阿,我怎能知道必得这地为业呢?

9 :你为我取一只年的母,一只年的母山羊,一只年的公绵,一只斑鸠,一只雏鸽。

10 亚伯兰就取了这些来,每样劈开,分成两半,一半对着一半地摆列,只有没有劈开。

11 有鸷鸟来,落在那死畜的肉上,亚伯兰就把他吓飞了。

12 日头正落的时候,亚伯兰沉沉地睡了;忽然有惊人的黑暗落在他身上。

13 耶和华对亚伯兰:你要的确知道,你的後裔必寄居别人的,又服事那的人;那的人要苦待他们年。

14 并且他们所要服事的那国,我要惩罚,来他们必带着许多财物从那里出来。

15 但你要享大寿数,平平安安地归到你列祖那里,被人埋葬。

16 到了第四,他们必回到此地,因为亚摩利人的罪孽还没有满盈。

17 日落天黑,不料有冒烟的炉并烧着的把从那些肉块中经过。

18 当那日,耶和华亚伯兰立约,:我已赐你的後裔,从埃及直到伯拉

19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、

20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、

21 亚摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。

6858. 'To the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite' means the region occupied by evils that arise from falsities. This is clear from the representation of 'the Canaanites' as evils that arise from the falsities of evil, dealt with in 4818; and from the representation of 'the Hittites' as falsities from which evils arise, dealt with in 2913. By the nations in the land of Canaan that are listed here as well as in other places, such as Genesis 15:18-19; Exodus 23:23, 28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5, are meant all kinds of evil and falsity. What one should understand by a region occupied by evils that arise from falsities, and also by all the other kinds of evil and falsity, must be stated. Before the Lord's Coming into the world evil genii and spirits occupied the entire region of heaven to which those who were spiritual were subsequently raised. For before the Lord's Coming a large part of those kinds of beings were freely prowling about and molesting the good, especially spiritual people who were on the lower earth. But after the Lord's Coming they were all thrust down into their own hells, and that region was liberated and given as an inheritance to those who belonged to the spiritual Church. I have often noticed that as soon any place is abandoned by good spirits it is occupied by evil ones, but that the evil spirits are driven out of it; and that once they have been driven out it is handed over again to those who are governed by good. The reason for this is that those from hell have a constant burning desire to destroy the things of heaven, in particular those things that are their opposites. Consequently when some place is abandoned, then because it is unprotected it is instantly occupied by the evil. This, as has been stated, is what one should understand specifically by a region occupied by evils and falsities, which is meant by the place inhabited by the nations who were to be driven out. This together with the things mentioned above in 6854 is a deep mystery which cannot be known about without revelation.
