1 És monda az Úr Ábrámnak: Eredj ki a te földedbõl, és a te rokonságod közül, és a te atyádnak házából, a földre, a melyet én mutatok néked.

2 És nagy nemzetté tészlek, és megáldalak téged, és felmagasztalom a te nevedet, és áldás leszesz.

3 És megáldom azokat, a kik téged áldanak, és a ki téged átkoz, megátkozom azt: és megáldatnak te benned a föld minden nemzetségei.

4 És kiméne Ábrám, a mint az Úr mondotta vala néki, és Lót is kiméne õ vele: Ábrám pedig hetvenöt esztendõs vala, mikor kiméne Háránból.

5 És felvevé Ábrám az õ feleségét Szárait, és Lótot, az õ atyjafiának fiát, és minden szerzeményöket, a melyet szereztek vala, és a cselédeket, a kikre Háránban tettek vala szert, és elindulának, hogy Kanaán földére menjenek, és el is jutának a Kanaán földére.

6 És általméne Ábrám a földön mind Sikhem vidékéig, Móréh tölgyeséig. Akkor Kananeusok valának azon a földön.

7 És megjelenék az Úr Ábrámnak, és monda néki: A te magodnak adom ezt a földet. És [Ábrám] oltárt építe ott az Úrnak; a ki megjelent vala néki.

8 Onnan azután a hegység felé méne Bétheltõl keletre és felüté sátorát: Béthel vala nyugatra, Hái pedig keletre, és ott oltárt építe az Úrnak, és segítségûl hívá az Úr nevét.

9 És tovább költözék Ábrám; folyton délfelé húzódván.

10 Azonban éhség lõn az országban, és Ábrám aláméne Égyiptomba, hogy ott tartózkodjék, mert nagy vala az éhség az országban.

11 És lõn mikor közel vala, hogy bemenjen Égyiptomba, monda feleségének Szárainak: Ímé tudom, hogy szép ábrázatú asszony vagy.

12 Azért mikor meglátnak téged az égyiptomiak, majd azt mondják: felesége ez; és engem megölnek, téged pedig életben tartanak.

13 Mondd [azért,] kérlek, [hogy] húgom vagy; hogy jól legyen dolgom miattad, s életben maradjak te éretted.

14 És lõn mikor Ábrám Égyiptomba érkezék, láták az égyiptomiak az asszonyt, hogy az nagyon szép.

15 Mikor megláták õt a Faraó fõemberei, magasztalák a Faraó elõtt és elvivék az asszonyt a Faraó udvarába.

16 És jól tõn érette Ábrámmal, és valának juhai, ökrei, szamarai, szolgái, szolgálói, nõstényszamarai és tevéi.

17 De megveré az Úr a Faraót és az õ házát nagy csapásokkal, Száraiért, Ábrám feleségéért.

18 Hívatá azért a Faraó Ábrámot és monda: Miért mívelted ezt velem? Miért nem mondottad meg énnékem, hogy ez néked feleséged?

19 Miért mondottad: Húgom õ; azért vevém magamnak feleségûl. Most már imhol a te feleséged, vedd magadhoz és menj el.

20 És parancsola felõle a Faraó némely embereknek, a kik elbocsáták õtet és az õ feleségét, és mindenét a mije vala.

482. Until now nobody has known what the years and the numbers of years occurring in this chapter mean in the internal sense. People who stay within the sense of the letter imagine that they are no more than chronological years. But none of the content from here down to Chapter 12 is history as it seems to be in the sense of the letter, for every single detail contains something of a different nature. What applies to names applies to numbers as well. In the Word the number three occurs frequently, and so does the number seven; and in every instance they mean something holy or inviolable as regards those states which the periods of time or whatever else that is mentioned embody or represent. This applies as much to the shortest as to the longest time-intervals; for just as parts makeup the whole, so do the shortest make up the longest. For a similarity must exist in order that a whole may emerge satisfactorily out of the parts, or that which is largest out of that which is smallest.

[2] As in Isaiah,

Jehovah has now spoken, saying, In three years, according to the years of a hireling, the glory of Moab will be rendered worthless. Isaiah 16:14.

In the same prophet,

The Lord said to me, Within yet a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar will be brought to an end. Isaiah 21:6.

Here both the shortest as well as the longest time-intervals are meant. In Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, I have heard Your fame; I was afraid. O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years do You make it known. Habakkuk 3:2.

Here 'the midst of the years' stands for the Lord's Coming. If the intervals are shorter this stands for every coming of the Lord, as when a person is being regenerated; but if longer it stands for the rising anew of the Lord's Church. It is also called in Isaiah 'the year of the redeemed', The day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come. Isaiah 63:4.

So too 'the thousand years' for which Satan is to be bound, Revelation 20:2-3, 7, and 'the thousand years' associated with the first resurrection, Revelation 20:4-6. These in no way mean a thousand years but the states associated with them. For just as 'days, as shown 'already, are interpreted as a state, so too are 'years', and the states are described by the number of the years. From this it becomes clear that periods of time in this chapter also embody states, for every Church experienced a different state of perception from the next, according to differences of disposition resulting from inherited and acquired characteristics.

Genesis 12

Lernen

   

1 Now Yahweh said to Abram, "Get out of your country, and from your relatives, and from your father's house, to the land that I will show you.

2 I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing.

3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you."

4 So Abram went, as Yahweh had spoken to him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed out of Haran.

5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls whom they had gotten in Haran, and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan. Into the land of Canaan they came.

6 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanite was then in the land.

7 Yahweh appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your seed." He built an altar there to Yahweh, who appeared to him.

8 He left from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to Yahweh and called on the name of Yahweh.

9 Abram traveled, going on still toward the South.

10 There was a famine in the land. Abram went down into Egypt to live as a foreigner there, for the famine was severe in the land.

11 It happened, when he had come near to enter Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

12 It will happen, when the Egyptians will see you, that they will say, 'This is his wife.' They will kill me, but they will save you alive.

13 Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and that my soul may live because of you."

14 It happened that when Abram had come into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

15 The princes of Pharaoh saw her, and praised her to Pharaoh; and the woman was taken into Pharaoh's house.

16 He dealt well with Abram for her sake. He had sheep, cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

17 Yahweh plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai, Abram's wife.

18 Pharaoh called Abram and said, "What is this that you have done to me? Why didn't you tell me that she was your wife?

19 Why did you say, 'She is my sister,' so that I took her to be my wife? Now therefore, see your wife, take her, and go your way."

20 Pharaoh commanded men concerning him, and they brought him on the way with his wife and all that he had.
