Genesis 34

1 Vyšla pak Dína, dcera Líe, kterouž porodila Jákobovi, aby se dívala na dceryzemě.

2 Kteroužto uzřev Sichem, syn Emora Hevejského, knížete v krajině té, vzal ji, i ležel s ní, a ponížil jí.

3 I připojila se duše jeho k Díně, dceři Jákobově; a zamilovav děvečku, mluvil k srdci jejímu.

4 Mluvil potom Sichem k Emorovi, otci svému, těmito slovy: Vezmi mi děvečku tuto za manželku.

5 Uslyšev pak Jákob, že poškvrnil Díny dcery jeho, (a synové jeho byli s stádem na poli), mlčel, až oni přišli.

6 Tedy vyšel Emor, otec Sichemův, k Jákobovi, aby mluvil s ním o to.

7 A v tom synové Jákobovi přišli s pole; a uslyšavše o tom, bolestí naplněni jsou muži ti, a rozhněvali se velmi, proto že hanebnou věc učinil v Izraeli, ležav se dcerou Jákobovou, čehož činiti nenáleželo.

8 I mluvil Emor s nimi na tento způsob: Sichem, syn můj, hoří milostí k vaší dceři; prosím, dejte mu ji za manželku.

9 A spřízněte se s námi: Dcery své dávejte nám, a naše Dcery pojímejte sobě.

10 A bydlete s námi, nebo všecka země bude před vámi; osaďte se a obchod veďte v ní, a vládněte jí.

11 Mluvil i Sichem otci jejímu, a bratřím jejím: Nechť naleznu milost před očima vašima, dám, co mi koli díte.

12 Jmenujte mi věno i dary jak chcete veliké, dám, jak mi koli řeknete; jen mi tu děvečku dejte za manželku.

13 Odpovídajíce pak synové Jákobovi Sichemovi a Emorovi, otci jeho, lstivě mluvili, proto že poškvrnil Díny sestry jich.

14 A řekli jim: Nemůžeme učiniti toho, abychom dali sestru svou za muže neobřezaného; nebo to ohavnost jest u nás.

15 Než na tento způsob vám povolíme: Jestliže se chcete srovnati s námi, aby obřezán byl každý z vás pohlaví mužského:

16 Tedy budeme dávati dcery své vám, a dcery vaše bráti sobě; a budeme bydliti s vámi, a budeme lid jeden.

17 Pakli neuposlechnete nás, abyste se obřezali, vezmeme zase dceru svou a odejdeme.

18 Tedy líbila se řeč jejich Emorovi i Sichemovi, synu Emorovu.

19 A nemeškal mládenec učiniti toho; nebo se mu zalíbila dcera Jákobova. A on byl nejvzácnější ze všech v domě otce svého.

20 I přišel Emor a Sichem, syn jeho, k bráně města svého; a mluvili mužům města svého, řkouce:

21 Muži tito pokojně se mají k nám, nechť tedy bydlí v zemi této, a obchod vedou v ní, (nebo země jest dosti široká a prostranná před nimi;) dcery jejich budeme sobě bráti za manželky, a dcery své budeme dávati jim.

22 Než na tento způsob přivolí nám ti muži k tomu, aby bydlili s námi, a abychom byli jeden lid: Jestliže obřezán bude každý pohlaví mužského mezi námi, tak jako oni jsou obřezáni.

23 Dobytek jejich a statek jejich, i všecka hovada jejich, zdaliž nebudou naše? Toliko v tom jim povolme, a budou bydliti s námi.

24 I uposlechli Emora a Sichema, syna jeho, všickni vycházející branou města jeho; a obřezali se všickni pohlaví mužského, což jich koli vycházelo z brány města jeho.

25 A toť dne třetího, když oni největší bolest měli, dva synové Jákobovi, Simeon a Léví, bratří Díny, vzav každý z nich meč svůj, vpadli do města směle, a pomordovali všecky pohlaví mužského.

26 Emora také a Sichema, syna jeho, zamordovali mečem, a vzavše Dínu z domu Sichemova, odešli.

27 Potom synové Jákobovi přišedše na zbité, vzebrali město, proto že poškvrnili sestry jejich.

28 Stáda jejich, a voly i osly jejich, a což bylo v městě i po poli, pobrali.

29 K tomu i všecko jmění jejich, a všecky malé dítky jejich, a ženy jejich zajali, a vybrali, co kde v domích bylo.

30 Řekl pak Jákob Simeonovi a Léví: Zkormoutili jste mne, a zošklivili jste mne u obyvatelů krajiny této, u Kananejských a Ferezejských, a já jsem s malým počtem lidí. Seberou-li se na mne, zbijí mne, a tak vyhlazen budu já i dům můj.

31 A oni odpověděli: A což měli jako nevěstky zle užívati sestry naší?

4447. 'Hamor spoke to them, saying' means the good of the Church among the Ancients. This is clear from the representation of 'Hamor' as that which was received from the Ancients, dealt with in 4431, namely the good of the Church received from them, for the good of the Church is 'a father', and the truth derived from that good, meant here by 'Shechem', is 'a son' - which also is why 'father' in the Word means good, and 'son' truth. The expression 'the good of the Church among the Ancients' is used here, not the good of the Ancient Church, for the reason that the phrase 'the Church among the Ancients' is used to mean the Church that descended from the Most Ancient Church which existed before the Flood, whereas the Ancient Church is used to mean the Church which came into existence after the Flood. Those two Churches have been dealt with several times previous to this, when it has been shown that the Most Ancient Church which existed before the Flood was celestial whereas the Ancient Church which came into existence after the Flood was spiritual. The difference between the two has also been dealt with often.

[2] Remnants of the Most Ancient Church which was celestial were still in existence in the land of Canaan, especially among those in that land who were called Hittites and Hivites. The reason why such remnants did not exist anywhere else was that the Most Ancient Church, which was called Man or Adam, 478, 479, existed in the land of Canaan, where the garden of Eden, which meant the intelligence and wisdom of the members of that Church, 100, 1588, and the trees in it their perception, 103, 2163, 2722, 2972, was therefore situated. And because intelligence and wisdom were meant by that garden or paradise the Church itself is also meant by it. And because the Church is meant, so also is heaven; and because heaven is meant, so also in the highest sense is the Lord. So it is that in the highest sense the land of Canaan also means the Lord, in the relative sense heaven and also the Church, and in the personal sense the member of the Church, 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705. So it is too that the word 'land' standing by itself in the Word has a similar meaning, 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1413, 1607, 3355; while a new heaven and a new earth mean a new Church, internally and externally, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118 (end), 3355 (end). The Most Ancient Church was situated in the land of Canaan, see 567, and it was from this that places there became representative. It explains why Abram was commanded to go there, and also why the land was given to his descendants from Jacob, namely that the representatives connected with the places which were to be used in the composition of the Word might be perpetuated, 3686. This was why every place in that land, including mountains and rivers, and also all the borders surrounding it, became representative, 1585, 1866, 4240.

[3] From all these considerations one may see what the expression 'Church among the Ancients' is used to mean, namely remnants of the Most Ancient Church. And because those remnants existed among the Hittites and Hivites, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, with their wives, acquired a burial-place among the Hittites in their land, Genesis 23:1-end; Genesis 49:29-32; 50:13; and Joseph among the Hivites, Joshua 24:32. Hamor, Shechem's father, represented the remnants of that Church, and as a consequence means the good of the Church among the Ancients and therefore the origin of interior truth from a Divine stock, 4399. What the difference is between the Most Ancient Church which existed before the Flood and the Ancient Church which came into existence after the Flood, see 597, 607, 608, 640, 641, 765, 784, 895, 920, 1114-1128, 1238, 1327, 2896, 2897.

Genesis 10.

---

THE MOST ANCIENT CHURCH, WHICH WAS CALLED MAN, OR ADAM

Angels and spirits, that is, human beings after death, are able to meet any they like of all those whom they have been acquainted with in the world or whom they have heard of. They see them and talk to them in person, when the Lord allows it. And what is remarkable, those people are with them in an instant and very much in person. Thus they are allowed to speak not only to friends, who normally find one another, but also to others whom they have admired and revered. In the Lord's Divine mercy I have been allowed to speak not only to those who were known to me during their lifetime but also to the most prominent characters mentioned in the Word. Thus I have been allowed to speak as well to those who belonged to the Most Ancient Church, the Church called Man, or Adam, and also to certain of those who belonged to the Churches that came after it. The reason for my being allowed to do so was so that I might know that the names found in the initial chapters of Genesis are used solely to mean Churches, and also that I might know the character of the members of the Churches of that time. The things that follow next therefore are what I have been given to know concerning the Most Ancient Churches.
