Postanak 10

Lernen

   

1 Ovo je povijest Noinih sinova: Šema, Hama i Jafeta, kojima su se rodili sinovi poslije Potopa.

2 Sinovi su Jafetovi: Gomer, Magog, Madaj, Javan, Tubal, Mešak, Tiras.

3 A sinovi su Gomerovi: Aškenaz, Rifat i Togarma.

4 Javanovi su opet sinovi: Eliša, Taršiš, Kitijci i Dodanci.

5 Od njih su se razgranali narodi po otocima. To su Jafetovi sinovi prema svojim zemljama - svaki s vlastitim jezikom - prema svojim plemenima i narodima.

6 Sinovi su Hamovi: Kuš i Misrajim, Put i Kanaan.

7 Kuševi su: Seba, Havila, Sabta, Rama i Sabteka. Ramini su: Šeba i Dedan.

8 Od Kuša se rodio Nimrod, koji je postao prvi velmoža na zemlji.

9 Voljom Jahve bio je silan lovac. Zato se veli: "Kao Nimrod, silan lovac voljom Jahve."

10 Glavno uporište njegova kraljevstva bili su: Babilon, Erek, Akad i Kalne, svi u zemlji Šinearu.

11 Iz ove je zemlje došao Ašur. On je podigao Ninivu, Rehobot Ir, Kalah

12 i Resen između Ninive i Kalaha (to je glavni grad).

13 Od Misrajima potekli su Ludijci, Anamijci, Lehabijci, Naftuhijci,

14 pa Patrušani, Kasluhijci i Kaftorci, od kojih su potekli Filistejci.

15 Od Kanaana potječe Sidon, njegov prvenac, i Het.

16 Dalje: Jebusejci, Amorejci, Girgašani,

17 Hivijci, Arkijci, Sinijci,

18 Arvađani, Semarjani i Hamaćani. Poslije se kanaanska plemena razgranaše,

19 tako da se granica Kanaanaca protezala od Sidona prema Geraru sve do Gaze pa prema Sodomi, Gomori, Admi i Sebojimu sve do Leše.

20 To su sinovi Hamovi prema svojim plemenima i jezicima, po svojim zemljama i narodima.

21 A i Šemu - praocu svih sinova Eberovih i starijem bratu Jafetovu - rodili se sinovi.

22 Šemovi su sinovi: Elam, Ašur, Arpakšad, Lud i Aram.

23 A Aramovi su sinovi: Us, Hul, Geter i Maš.

24 Arpakšad rodi Šelaha, Šelah rodi Ebera.

25 Eberu su se rodila dva sina: jednomu bješe ime Peleg, jer se za njegova vijeka zemlja razdijelila. Njegovu je bratu bilo ime Joktan.

26 Od Joktana se rodiše: Almodad, Šelef, Hasarmavet, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Dikla,

28 Obal, Abimael, Šeba,

29 Ofir, Havila i Jobab. Sve su to sinovi Joktanovi.

30 Njihova se naselja protezahu od Meše sve do Sefara, brdovitih krajeva na istoku.

31 To su sinovi Šemovi prema svojim plemenima, jezicima i zemljama, po svojim narodima.

32 To su rodovi Noinih sinova prema svojim lozama i narodima. Od njih su se razgranali narodi po zemlji poslije Potopa.

1154. Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. That these were so many nations among whom there was such worship, and that they signify so many doctrinals which were rituals, derived from the external worship with Gomer, is evident from the Prophets, where the same nations are also mentioned, and by them are everywhere signified doctrinals or rituals-as usual, in each sense, sometimes in the genuine sense, sometimes in the opposite one. “Ashkenaz,” in Jeremiah:

Set ye up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, consecrate the nations against her, make to hearken against her the kingdoms of Ararath, Minni, and Ashkenaz (Jeremiah 51:27).

The subject here is the destruction of Babel, where “Ashkenaz” denotes its idolatrous worship, or external worship separate from internal, which destroys Babel. Specifically, it denotes false doctrinals, and therefore is mentioned in the opposite sense. “Togarmah,” in Ezekiel:

Javan, Tubal, and Meshech, these were thy traders in the soul of man, and furnished vessels of brass in thy commerce. They of the house of Togarmah furnished for thine aids, horses, and horsemen, and mules (Ezekiel 27:13-14).

This is said concerning Tyre, by which they were represented who possessed the knowledges of celestial and spiritual things. “Javan, Tubal, and Meshech,” denote, as before, various representative or correspondent rites; “the house of Togarmah” likewise. The external rites of the former have reference to celestial things; and those of the latter, or “the house of Togarmah,” to spiritual things, as is evident from the signification of the things in which they traded. Here they are in the genuine sense. In the same:

Gomer and all his hordes, the house of Togarmah the sides of the north, and with all his hordes (Ezekiel 38:6);

denoting perverted doctrinals, which are meant also by “the sides of the north.” Here the names of these nations are used in the opposite sense.
