1 Και οτε ητο ο Αβραμ ενενηκοντα εννεα ετων, εφανη ο Κυριος εις τον Αβραμ και ειπε προς αυτον, Εγω ειμαι Θεος ο Παντοκρατωρ· περιπατει ενωπιον μου, και εσο τελειος.

2 Και θελω στησει την διαθηκην μου αναμεσον εμου και σου· και θελω σε πληθυνει σφοδρα σφοδρα.

3 Και επεσεν ο Αβραμ επι προσωπον αυτου· και ελαλησε προς αυτον ο Θεος, λεγων,

4 Εγω, ιδου, η διαθηκη μου ειναι προς σε· και θελεις γεινει πατηρ πληθους εθνων·

5 και δεν θελει καλεισθαι πλεον το ονομα σου Αβραμ, αλλα το ονομα σου θελει εισθαι Αβρααμ· διοτι πατερα πληθους εθνων σε κατεστησα·

6 και θελω σε αυξησει σφοδρα σφοδρα, και θελω σε καταστησει εις εθνη, και βασιλεις θελουσιν εξελθει εκ σου·

7 και θελω στησει την διαθηκην μου αναμεσον εμου και σου, και του σπερματος σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων, εις διαθηκην αιωνιον, δια να ημαι Θεος εις σε και εις το σπερμα σου μετα σε·

8 και θελω δωσει εις σε, και εις το σπερμα σου μετα σε, την γην της παροικιας σου, πασαν την γην Χανααν, εις κατασχεσιν αιωνιον· και θελω εισθαι ο Θεος αυτων.

9 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, συ δε την διαθηκην μου θελεις φυλαξει, συ και το σπερμα σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων.

10 Αυτη ειναι η διαθηκη μου την οποιαν θελετε φυλαξει, αναμεσον εμου και υμων και του σπερματος σου μετα σε· παν αρσεν υμων θελει περιτεμνεσθαι.

11 Και θελετε περιτεμνει την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας υμων, και θελει εισθαι εις σημειον της διαθηκης μεταξυ εμου και υμων·

12 και παιδιον οκτω ημερων θελει περιτεμνεσθαι μεταξυ σας, παν αρσεν εις τας γενεας υμων ο γεγεννημενος εν τη οικια, και ο αργυρωνητος εκ παντος ξενου, οστις δεν ειναι εκ του σπερματος σου·

13 θελει εξαπαντος περιτεμνεσθαι ο γεγεννημενος εν τη οικια σου, και ο αργυρωνητος σου· και θελει εισθαι η διαθηκη μου επι της σαρκος υμων εις διαθηκην αιωνιον·

14 και το απεριτμητον αρσεν, του οποιου δεν ηθελε περιτμηθη η σαρξ της ακροβυστιας αυτου, η ψυχη εκεινη θελει εξολοθρευθη εκ μεσου του λαου αυτης· την διαθηκην μου παρεβη.

15 Και ειπεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβρααμ, Σαραν την γυναικα σου, δεν θελεις καλεσει πλεον το ονομα αυτης Σαραν, αλλα Σαρρα θελει εισθαι το ονομα αυτης.

16 Και θελω ευλογησει αυτην, και θελω προσετι δωσει εις σε υιον εξ αυτης· και θελω ευλογησει αυτην, και θελει γεινει μητηρ εθνων· βασιλεις λαων θελουσιν εξελθει εξ αυτης.

17 Και επεσεν ο Αβρααμ επι προσωπον αυτου και εγελασε, και ειπεν εν τη καρδια αυτου, Εις ανθρωπον εκατονταετη θελει γεννηθη τεκνον; και η Σαρρα, γυνη ενενηκοντα ετων, θελει γεννησει;

18 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ προς τον Θεον, Ειθε ο Ισμαηλ να ζηση ενωπιον σου

19 Και ειπεν ο Θεος, Ναι η γυνη σου Σαρρα θελει γεννησει υιον εις σε, και θελεις καλεσει το ονομα αυτου Ισαακ· και θελω στησει την διαθηκην μου προς αυτον εις διαθηκην αιωνιον, και προς το σπερμα αυτου μετ' αυτον·

20 περι δε του Ισμαηλ σου εισηκουσα· Ιδου, ευλογησα αυτον, και θελω αυξησει αυτον, και θελω πληθυνει αυτον σφοδρα σφοδρα· δωδεκα αρχοντας θελει γεννησει, και θελω καμει αυτον εθνος μεγα·

21 αλλα την διαθηκην μου θελω στησει προς τον Ισαακ, τον οποιον θελει γεννησει η Σαρρα εις σε το ερχομενον ετος, εν τω αυτω τουτω καιρω.

22 Αφου δε ετελειωσε να λαλη μετ' αυτου, ανεβη ο Θεος απο του Αβρααμ.

23 Και ελαβεν ο Αβρααμ Ισμαηλ τον υιον αυτου, και παντας τους γεγεννημενους εν τη οικια αυτου, και παντας τους αργυρωνητους αυτου, παν αρσεν των ανθρωπων της οικιας του Αβρααμ, και περιετεμε την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτων την αυτην εκεινην ημεραν, καθως ειπε προς αυτον ο Θεος.

24 Ο δε Αβρααμ ητο ενενηκοντα εννεα ετων, οτε περιετμηθη την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου.

25 Ισμαηλ δε ο υιος αυτου ητο δεκατριων ετων, οτε περιετμηθη την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου.

26 την αυτην εκεινην ημεραν περιετμηθη ο Αβρααμ, και Ισμαηλ ο υιος αυτου·

27 και παντες οι ανθρωποι της οικιας αυτου, οι γεγεννημενοι εν τη οικια, και οι εξ αλλογενων αργυρωνητοι περιετμηθησαν μετ' αυτου.

340. That 'she said, I have gained a man, Jehovah' means that with those called Cain faith was known and acknowledged as something existing by itself is clear from what has been stated in the preliminary sections of this chapter. 1 Previously they had not so to speak known what faith was, for what they possessed was a perception of everything that constituted faith. But once they started to make distinct and separate doctrine out of faith they drew on things which had been with them matters of perception and reduced them to doctrine. This doctrine they called 'I have gained a man, Jehovah', as though they had come upon something new. So that which had previously been written on the heart was now made into factual knowledge. In early times people used to find a name for anything that was new, and used to attach explanations as to what such names embodied. For example, to indicate what Ishmael meant, the explanation was added, Jehovah hearkened to her affliction', Genesis 16:11; what Reuben meant, 'Jehovah has seen my affliction', Genesis 29:32; what Simeon meant, 'Jehovah heard that she was less loved', ibid. Verse 33; and what Judah meant, 'This time I will confess Jehovah', ibid. Verse 35. The altar built by Moses was called 'Jehovah is my banner', Exodus 17:15. And here likewise doctrine concerning faith is called 'I have gained a man, Jehovah', which is what Cain meant.

Genesis 4

Lernen

   

1 The man knew Eve his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Cain, and said, "I have gotten a man with Yahweh's help."

2 Again she gave birth, to Cain's brother Abel. Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.

3 As time passed, it happened that Cain brought an offering to Yahweh from the fruit of the ground.

4 Abel also brought some of the firstborn of his flock and of its fat. Yahweh respected Abel and his offering,

5 but he didn't respect Cain and his offering. Cain was very angry, and the expression on his face fell.

6 Yahweh said to Cain, "Why are you angry? Why has the expression of your face fallen?

7 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? If you don't do well, sin crouches at the door. Its desire is for you, but you are to rule over it."

8 Cain said to Abel, his brother, "Let's go into the field." It happened when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel, his brother, and killed him.

9 Yahweh said to Cain, "Where is Abel, your brother?" He said, "I don't know. Am I my brother's keeper?"

10 Yahweh said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood cries to me from the ground.

11 Now you are cursed because of the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12 From now on, when you till the ground, it won't yield its strength to you. You shall be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth."

13 Cain said to Yahweh, "My punishment is greater than I can bear.

14 Behold, you have driven me out this day from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. It will happen that whoever finds me will kill me."

15 Yahweh said to him, "Therefore whoever slays Cain, vengeance will be taken on him sevenfold." Yahweh appointed a sign for Cain, lest any finding him should strike him.

16 Cain went out from Yahweh's presence, and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

17 Cain knew his wife. She conceived, and gave birth to Enoch. He built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.

18 To Enoch was born Irad. Irad became the father of Mehujael. Mehujael became the father of Methushael. Methushael became the father of Lamech.

19 Lamech took two wives: the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

20 Adah gave birth to Jabal, who was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

21 His brother's name was Jubal, who was the father of all who handle the harp and pipe.

22 Zillah also gave birth to Tubal Cain, the forger of every cutting instrument of brass and iron. Tubal Cain's sister was Naamah.

23 Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, hear my voice. You wives of Lamech, listen to my speech, for I have slain a man for wounding me, a young man for bruising me.

24 If Cain will be avenged seven times, truly Lamech seventy-seven times."

25 Adam knew his wife again. She gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, "for God has appointed me another child instead of Abel, for Cain killed him."

26 There was also born a son to Seth, and he named him Enosh. Then men began to call on Yahweh's name.
