Genesis 2

Lernen

   

1 Nõnda on taevas ja maa ning kõik nende väed valmis saanud.

2 Ja Jumal oli lõpetanud seitsmendaks päevaks oma töö, mis ta tegi, ja hingas seitsmendal päeval kõigist oma tegudest, mis ta oli teinud.

3 Ja Jumal õnnistas seitsmendat päeva ja pühitses seda, sest ta oli siis hinganud kõigist oma tegudest, mis Jumal luues oli teinud.

4 See on lugu taeva ja maa sündimisest, kui need loodi. Sel ajal, kui Issand Jumal tegi maa ja taeva,

5 kui ainsatki väljapõõsast ei olnud veel maa peal ja ainsatki väljarohtu ei olnud veel tärganud, sest Issand Jumal ei olnud lasknud vihma sadada maa peale, ja inimest ei olnud põldu harimas,

6 tõusis udu maast ja kastis kogu mullapinda.

7 Ja Issand Jumal valmistas inimese, kes põrm on, mullast, ja puhus tema ninasse eluhinguse: nõnda sai inimene elavaks hingeks.

8 Ja Issand Jumal istutas Eedeni rohuaia päevatõusu poole ja pani sinna inimese, kelle ta oli valmistanud.

9 Ja Issand Jumal laskis maast tõusta kõiksugu puid, mis olid armsad pealtnäha ja millest oli hea süüa, ja elupuu keset aeda, ning hea ja kurja tundmise puu.

10 Ja Eedenist sai alguse jõgi, mis kastis rohuaeda, jagunedes sealtpeale neljaks haruks:

11 esimese nimi on Piison, see voolab ümber kogu Havilamaa, kus on kulda;

12 selle maa kuld on hea, seal on bedolavaiku ja karneoolikive.

13 Ja teise jõe nimi on Giihon, see voolab ümber kogu Kuusimaa.

14 Ja kolmanda jõe nimi on Hiddekel, see voolab hommiku pool Assurit; ja neljas jõgi on Frat.

15 Ja Issand Jumal võttis inimese ja pani ta Eedeni aeda harima ja hoidma.

16 Ja Issand Jumal keelas inimest ja ütles: 'Kõigist aia puudest sa võid küll süüa,

17 aga hea ja kurja tundmise puust sa ei tohi süüa, sest päeval, mil sa sellest sööd, pead sa surma surema!'

18 Ja Issand Jumal ütles: 'Inimesel ei ole hea üksi olla; ma tahan teha temale abi, kes tema kohane on.'

19 Ja Issand Jumal valmistas mullast kõik loomad väljal ja kõik linnud taeva all ning tõi inimese juurde, et näha, kuidas tema neid nimetab. Ja kuidas inimene igat elavat olendit nimetas, nõnda pidi selle nimi olema.

20 Ja inimene pani nimed kõigile kariloomadele ja lindudele taeva all ja kõigile metsloomadele, aga inimesele ei leidunud abilist, kes tema kohane oleks.

21 Siis Issand Jumal laskis tulla raske une inimese peale ja see jäi magama; siis ta võttis ühe tema küljeluudest ning sulges selle aseme taas lihaga.

22 Ja Issand Jumal ehitas küljeluu, mille ta inimesest oli võtnud, naiseks ja tõi tema Aadama juurde.

23 Ja Aadam ütles: 'See on nüüd luu minu luust ja liha minu lihast. Teda peab hüütama mehe naiseks, sest ta on mehest võetud!'

24 Seepärast jätab mees maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja nemad on üks liha!

25 Ja nad olid mõlemad alasti, Aadam ja tema naine, ega häbenenud.

382, 4. Discernment corresponds to the lungs. This follows from what has already been said [378-381] about volition's correspondence with the heart. There are, that is, two dominant things in the spiritual person or mind, namely volition and discernment, and there are two dominant things in the physical self or the body, namely heart and lungs. There is a correspondence of everything in the mind with everything in the body, as already noted [374-377]. It then follows that if volition corresponds to the heart, discernment corresponds to the lungs.

Everyone can observe internally that discernment corresponds to the lungs on the basis of thought and on the basis of speech. On the basis of thought: we cannot think at all without the concurrence and support of the breath of our lungs. So quiet thought is accompanied by quiet breathing, deep thought by deep breathing. We hold and release our breath, we suppress or intensify our breathing, in response to our thinking--in response, then, to the inflow of some feeling related to what we love, breathing slowly, rapidly, eagerly, gently, or intently. In fact, if we suppress our breathing completely, the only way we can think is in the spirit, by its breathing, which is not clearly noticeable.

On the basis of speech: not even the shortest word comes from the mouth without the support of our lungs. The sound that is articulated into words comes entirely from the lungs through the trachea and epiglottis. So depending on the inflation of this bellows and the opening of its passageways, speech is either amplified into shouting or, by their contraction, muted; and if the passage is completely blocked, speech and thought both cease.

Doctrine of the Lord #50

50. Whenever the term spirit is applied to the Lord, it means His Divine life, thus the Lord Himself. This is clear from the following:

...He whom (the Father) has sent speaks the words of God. ...God does not give (Him) the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. (John 3:34-35)

There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse.... The Spirit of Jehovah shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might.... (Isaiah 11:1-2)

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring judgment to the nations. (Isaiah 42:1)

...he will come like a narrow stream; the Spirit of Jehovah will put a sign on him; then the Redeemer will come to Zion.... (Isaiah 59:19-20)

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovih is upon Me; ...Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor. (Isaiah 61:1, cf. Luke 4:18)

...Jesus, knowing in His spirit that they thought thus within themselves.... (Mark 2:8)

...Jesus rejoiced in (His) spirit and said.... (Luke 10:21)

...Jesus...was troubled in (His) spirit.... (John 13:21)

(Jesus,) sighing in (His) spirit.... (Mark 8:12)

[2] Spirit stands for Jehovah Himself, or the Lord:

God is a Spirit.... (John 4:24)

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah, or what man that of His counsel? (Isaiah 40:13)

(The Spirit of Jehovah) led them by the...hand of Moses.... (Isaiah 63:12, 14)

Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee.... (Psalms 139:7)

(Jehovah said,) “Not by might..., but by My Spirit (he shall act).” (Zechariah 4:6)

They...provoked the Spirit of His holiness; therefore He turned against them as an enemy.... (Isaiah 63:10, cf. Psalms 106:33)

My Spirit shall not indict mankind forever, for they are flesh. (Genesis 6:3)

...I will not contend forever..., for the Spirit would fail before Me.... (Isaiah 57:16)

...blasphemy against the (Holy) Spirit will not be forgiven..., but whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him. (Matthew 12:31-32, cf. Mark 3:28-30, Luke 12:10)

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is blasphemy against the Lord’s Divinity. But a word against the Son of man is something said against the Word, by interpreting its meaning wrongly. For the Son of man is the Lord in relation to the Word, as we have shown above.
