Genesis 10

Lernen

   

1 Tito jsou pak rodové synů Noé, Sema, Chama a Jáfeta, jimž se tito synové zrodili po potopě.

2 Synové Jáfetovi: Gomer a Magog, a Madai, a Javan, a Tubal, a Mešech, a Tiras.

3 Synové pak Gomerovi: Ascenez, Rifat, a Togorma.

4 Synové pak Javanovi: Elisa a Tarsis, Cetim a Dodanim.

5 Od těch rozděleni jsou ostrovové národů po krajinách jejich, každý podlé jazyku svého, vedlé čeledi své, v národech svých.

6 Synové pak Chamovi: Chus a Mizraim a Put a Kanán.

7 A synové Chusovi: Sába, Evila, a Sabata, a Regma, a Sabatacha. Synové pak Regmovi: Sába a Dedan.

8 Zplodil také Chus Nimroda; onť jest počal býti mocným na zemi.

9 To byl silný lovec před Hospodinem; protož se říká: Jako Nimrod silný lovec před Hospodinem.

10 Počátek pak jeho království byl Babylon a Erech, Achad a Chalne, v zemi Sinear.

11 Z země té vyšel do Assur, kdežto vystavěl Ninive, a Rohobot město, a Chále,

12 A Rezen mezi Ninive a mezi Chále; toť jest město veliké.

13 Mizraim pak zplodil Ludim a Anamim, a Laabim, a Neftuim,

14 A Fetruzim, a Chasluim, (odkudž pošli Filistinští) a Kafturim.

15 Kanán pak zplodil Sidona prvorozeného svého, a Het,

16 A Jebuzea, a Amorea, a Gergezea,

17 A Hevea, a Aracea, a Sinea,

18 A Aradia, a Samarea, a Amatea; a potom odtud rozprostřely se čeledi Kananejských.

19 A bylo pomezí Kananejských od Sidonu, když jdeš k Gerar až do Gázy; a odtud když jdeš k Sodomě a Gomoře, a Adama a Seboim až do Lázy.

20 Ti jsou synové Chamovi po čeledech svých, vedlé jazyků svých, po krajinách svých, v národech svých.

21 Semovi také, otci všech synů Heber, bratru Jáfeta staršího zrozeni jsou synové.

22 A tito jsou synové Semovi: Elam, a Assur, a Arfaxad, a Lud, a Aram.

23 Synové pak Aramovi: Hus, a Hul, a Geter, a Mas.

24 Potom Arfaxad zplodil Sále; a Sále zplodil Hebera.

25 Heberovi také narodili se dva synové; jméno jednoho Peleg, proto že za dnů jeho rozdělena byla země, a jméno bratra jeho Jektan.

26 Jektan pak zplodil Elmodada, a Salefa, a Azarmota, a Járe,

27 A Adoráma, a Uzala, a Dikla,

28 A Obale, a Abimahele, a Sebai,

29 A Ofira, a Evila, a Jobaba; všickni ti jsou synové Jektanovi.

30 A bylo bydlení jejich od Mesa, když jdeš k Sefar hoře na východ slunce.

31 Tiť jsou synové Semovi po čeledech svých, vedlé jazyků svých, po krajinách svých, v národech svých.

32 Ty jsou čeledi synů Noé po rodech svých, v národech svých; a od těch rozdělili se národové na zemi po potopě.

1159. Everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations. That this signifies that these were according to the genius of each; “according to their tongue,” according to the opinion of each; “according to their families,” according to their uprightness; and “as to their nations,” as regards both in general, may be seen from the signification of “tongue,” of “families,” and of “nations,” in the Word; concerning which of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter. That “tongue,” or “language,” in the internal sense, signifies opinion, thus principles and persuasions, is because there is a correspondence of the tongue with the intellectual part of man, or with his thought, like that of an effect with its cause. Such also is not only the influx of a man’s thoughts into the movements of the tongue in speaking, but also the influx of heaven, concerning which some things from experience, by the Divine mercy of the Lord, will be told elsewhere.

[2] That “families” in the internal sense signify uprightness, and also charity and love, comes from the fact that in the heavens all things which are of mutual love are circumstanced as are relationships by blood and by marriage, thus as families (see n. 685). In the Word therefore the things which pertain to love or charity are expressed by “houses,” and also by “families,” which it is unnecessary here to stop to confirm. (That such is the signification of a “house” may be seen at n. 710)

[3] That “nations” here signify both, in general, is evident from the signification of a nation, or nations, in the Word. In a good sense “nations” signify things of the new will and understanding, consequently the goods of love and truths of faith; but in the opposite sense they signify evils and falsities; and in like manner so also do “houses,” “families,” and “tongues,” as may be confirmed by very many passages from the Word. The reason is that the Most Ancient Church was distinguished into houses, families, and nations. A married pair with their children, and their menservants and maidservants, constituted a house; a number of houses that were not far distant from one another constituted a family; and a number of families, a nation. Hence “nations” signified all the families taken together in the aggregate. It is much the same in heaven; but the relation of all there is according to love and faith toward the Lord (see n. 685).

[4] From this then comes the signification of “nations” in the internal sense, as a general term comprising things of both the will and the understanding, or what is the same of both love and faith; but relatively to the families and houses of which they are composed. (See also what has been said before concerning this subject, n. 470, 471, 483.) It is evident from these considerations that “nations” signify both [opinion and uprightness] in general; and that “everyone according to his tongue, according to their families, as to their nations,” signifies according to the genius of each man, family, and nation, to whom worship was derived from the Ancient Church.
