Genesis 3

Lernen

   

1 Aga madu oli kavalam kõigist loomadest väljal, kelle Issand Jumal oli teinud, ja ta ütles naisele: 'Kas Jumal on tõesti öelnud, et te ei tohi süüa mitte ühestki rohuaia puust?'

2 Ja naine vastas maole: 'Me sööme küll rohuaia puude vilja,

3 aga selle puu viljast, mis on keset aeda, on Jumal öelnud: Te ei tohi sellest süüa ega selle külge puutuda, et te ei sureks!'

4 Ja madu ütles naisele: 'Te ei sure, kindlasti mitte,

5 aga Jumal teab, et päeval, mil te sellest sööte, lähevad teie silmad lahti ja te saate Jumala sarnaseks, tundes head ja kurja.'

6 Ja naine nägi, et puust oli hea süüa, ja see tegi ta silmadele himu, ja et puu oli ihaldusväärne, sest see pidi targaks tegema. Siis ta võttis selle viljast ja sõi ning andis ka oma mehele, ja tema sõi.

7 Siis nende mõlema silmad läksid lahti ja nad tundsid endid alasti olevat, ja nad õmblesid viigilehti kokku ning tegid enestele põlled.

8 Ja nad kuulsid Issanda Jumala häält, kes rohuaias sinna ja tänna käis, kui päev viluks läks, ja Aadam ja tema naine peitsid endid Issanda Jumala palge eest rohuaia puude keskele.

9 Ja Issand Jumal hüüdis Aadamat ning ütles temale: 'Kus sa oled?'

10 Ja tema vastas: 'Ma kuulsin su häält rohuaias ja kartsin, sest ma olen alasti. Sellepärast ma peitsin enese ära.'

11 Siis ta küsis: 'Kes on sulle teada andnud, et sa alasti oled? Või oled sa söönud puust, millest ma sind keelasin söömast?'

12 Ja Aadam vastas: 'Naine, kelle sa mulle kaasaks andsid, tema andis mulle puust ja ma sõin.'

13 Ja Issand Jumal küsis naiselt: 'Miks sa seda tegid?' Ja naine vastas: 'Madu pettis mind, ja ma sõin.'

14 Siis Issand Jumal ütles maole: 'Et sa seda tegid, siis ole sa neetud kõigi koduloomade ja kõigi metsloomade seas! Sa pead roomama oma kõhu peal ja põrmu sööma kogu eluaja!

15 Ja ma tõstan vihavaenu sinu ja naise vahele, sinu seemne ja tema seemne vahele, kes purustab su pea, aga kelle kanda sa salvad.'

16 Naisele ta ütles: 'Sinule ma saadan väga palju valu, kui sa lapseootel oled: sa pead valuga lapsi ilmale tooma! Sa himustad küll oma meest, aga tema valitseb su üle.'

17 Aga Aadamale ta ütles: 'Et sa kuulasid oma naise sõna ja sõid puust, millest mina olin sind keelanud, öeldes, et sa ei tohi sellest süüa, siis olgu maapind neetud sinu üleastumise pärast! Vaevaga pead sa sellest sööma kogu eluaja!

18 Ta peab sulle kasvatama kibuvitsu ja ohakaid, ja põllutaimed olgu sulle toiduks!

19 Oma palge higis pead sa leiba sööma, kuni sa jälle mullaks saad, sest sellest sa oled võetud! Tõesti, sa oled põrm ja pead jälle põrmuks saama!'

20 Ja Aadam pani oma naisele nimeks Eeva, sest ta sai kõigi elavate emaks.

21 Ja Issand Jumal tegi Aadamale ja ta naisele nahkriided ning pani neile selga.

22 Ja Issand Jumal ütles: 'Vaata, inimene on saanud nagu üheks meie hulgast, tundes head ja kurja. Aga nüüd, et ta oma kätt ei sirutaks ega võtaks ka elupuust ega sööks ega elaks igavesti!'

23 Siis saatis Issand Jumal tema Eedeni rohuaiast välja, et ta hariks maad, millest ta oli võetud.

24 Ja ta ajas Aadama välja ja pani hommikupoole Eedeni rohuaeda keerubid ja tuleleegina sähviva mõõga, et need valvaksid elupuu teed.

Sacred Scripture #103

103. We can tell from the books of Moses that there was a Word among the ancients because he mentioned it and excerpted from it (Numbers 21:14-15, 27-30). We can tell that the narrative portions of that Word were called “The Wars of Jehovah, ” and that the prophetic portions were called “Pronouncements.” Moses quoted the following from the historical narratives of that Word:

Therefore it says in The Book of the Wars of Jehovah, “Waheb in Suphah and the rivers Arnon, a watercourse of rivers that goes down to [where] Ar is inhabited and rests along the border of Moab.” (Numbers 21:14-15)

In that Word as in ours, the wars of Jehovah were understood to be, and served to describe in detail, the Lord’s battles against hell and his victories over it when he would come into the world. These same battles are meant and described time after time in the historical narratives of our Word - in Joshua’s battles against the nations of the land of Canaan, for example, and in the wars of the judges and the kings of Israel.

[2] Moses quoted the following from the prophetic portions of that Word:

Therefore those who make pronouncements say, “Come to Heshbon! The city of Sihon will be built up and fortified, because fire has gone out from Heshbon, flame from the city of Sihon. It has devoured Ar of Moab, those who occupy the heights of Arnon. Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, people of Chemosh; he has made his sons fugitives and sent his daughters into captivity to Sihon, king of the Amorites. With arrows we have dealt with them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon, and we have spread destruction as far as Nophah, which extends to Medeba.” (Numbers 21:27-30)

Translators change [the title of] this to “Composers of Proverbs, ” but it should be called “Makers of Pronouncements” or “Prophetic Pronouncements, ” as we can tell from the meaning of the word moschalim in Hebrew. It means not only proverbs but also prophetic utterances, as in Numbers 23:7, 18; 24:3, 15 where it says that Balaam gave forth his pronouncement, which was actually a prophetic utterance and was about the Lord. In these instances each of his pronouncements is called a mashal in the singular. There is also the fact that what Moses quoted from this source are not proverbs but prophecies.

[3] We can see that this Word was similarly divine or divinely inspired from a passage in Jeremiah where we find almost the same words:

A fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the midst of Sihon, which has devoured the corner of Moab and the top of the children of tumult. Woe to you, Moab! The people of Chemosh have perished, for your sons have been carried off into captivity and your daughters into captivity. (Jeremiah 48:45-46)

Further, both David and Joshua mention another prophetic book of the former Word, The Book of Jasher or The Book of the Righteous One. Here is where David mentions it:

David lamented over Saul and over Jonathan and wrote, “‘To Teach the Children of Judah the Bow.’ (You will find this written in The Book of Jasher.)” (2 Samuel 1:17-18)

Here is where Joshua mentions it:

Joshua said, “‘Come to rest, O sun, in Gibeon; and, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.’ Is this not written in The Book of Jasher?” (Joshua 10:12-13)

Then too, I have been told that the first seven chapters of Genesis are right there in that ancient Word, so that not the slightest word is missing.
