창세기 8

1 하나님이 노아와 그와 함께 방주에 있는 모든 들짐승과 육축을 권념하사 바람으로 땅 위에 불게 하시매 물이 감하였고

2 깊음의 샘과 하늘의 창이 막히고 하늘에서 비가 그치매

3 물이 땅에서 물러가고 점점 물러가서 일백 오십일 후에 감하고

4 칠월 곧 그 달 십칠일에 방주가 아라랏 산에 머물렀으며

5 물이 점점 감하여 시월 곧 그달 일일에 산들의 봉우리가 보였더라

6 사십일을 지나서 노아가 그 방주에 지은 창을 열고

7 까마귀를 내어 놓으매 까마귀가 물이 땅에서 마르기까지 날아 왕래하였더라

8 그가 또 비둘기를 내어 놓아 지면에 물이 감한 여부를 알고자 하매

9 온 지면에 물이 있으므로 비둘기가 접족할 곳을 찾지 못하고 방주로 돌아와 그에게로 오는지라 그가 손을 내밀어 방주 속 자기에게로 받아 들이고

10 또 칠일을 기다려 다시 비둘기를 방주에서 내어 놓으매

11 저녁때에 비둘기가 그에게로 돌아왔는데 그 입에 감람 새 잎사귀가 있는지라 이에 노아가 땅에 물이 감한 줄 알았으며

12 또 칠일을 기다려 비둘기를 내어 놓으매 다시는 그에게로 돌아오지 아니하였더라

13 육백 일년 정월 곧 그 달 일일에 지면에 물이 걷힌지라 노아가 방주 뚜껑을 제치고 본즉 지면에 물이 걷혔더니

14 이월 이십 칠일에 땅이 말랐더라

15 하나님이 노아에게 말씀하여 가라사대

16 너는 네 아내와 네 아들들과 네 자부들로 더불어 방주에서 나오고

17 너와 함께 한 모든 혈육 있는 생물 곧 새와 육축과 땅에 기는 모든 것을 다 이끌어 내라 이것들이 땅에서 생육하고 땅에서 번성하리라 하시매

18 노아가 그 아들들과 그 아내와 그 자부들과 함께 나왔고

19 땅위의 동물 곧 모든 짐승과 모든 기는 것과 모든 새도 그 종류대로 방주에서 나왔더라

20 노아가 여호와를 위하여 단을 쌓고 모든 정결한 짐승 중에서와 모든 정결한 새 중에서 취하여 번제로 단에 드렸더니

21 여호와께서 그 향기를 흠향하시고 그 중심에 이르시되 내가 다시는 사람으로 인하여 땅을 저주하지 아니하리니 이는 사람의 마음의 계획하는 바가 어려서부터 악함이라 내가 전에 행한 것 같이 모든 생물을 멸하지 아니하리니

22 땅이 있을 동안에는 심음과, 거둠과, 추위와, 더위와, 여름과, 겨울과, 낮과, 밤이 쉬지 아니하리라

875. 'The dove found no rest for the sole of its foot' means that no good and truth of faith at all had as yet been able to take root. This is clear from the meaning of 'a dove' as the truth of faith, and also from the meaning of 'rest for the sole of the foot' as taking root. The reason why they cannot take root is stated further on, namely that falsities were still there to overflowing. But nobody can begin to understand what all this means unless he knows how the regeneration of the spiritual man is accomplished.

[2] With this man the cognitions of faith drawn from the Word of the Lord - that is, matters of doctrine drawn from that source, which the Ancient Church had from what had been revealed to the Most Ancient Church - had to be planted in his memory, and in this way the understanding part of his mind received instruction. But as long as falsities dwell there to overflowing, truths of faith cannot take root, even though they have been planted there. They remain solely on the surface, or in the memory. Nor, as stated already, does the ground become suitable until falsities have been so dispersed that they do not reappear.

[3] The ground itself with this person is made ready in the understanding part of his mind, and when it has been made ready good that stems from charity is planted in it by the Lord, and through charity conscience from which he then acts, that is, by means of which the Lord produces in him the good and truth of faith. Thus the Lord separates in this man things belonging to his understanding from those belonging to his will in such a manner that they are in no way united. For if they were united he would inevitably and eternally perish.

[4] With the member of the Most Ancient Church things of the will had been united to those of the understanding, as they are with celestial angels too. But with the member of this Church they were not united, nor are they united with the spiritual man. It still seems as though the good of charity which he does is the product of his will, but that is solely an appearance and illusion. All the good of charity which he does is the Lord's alone, coming not by way of the will but of conscience. If the Lord were to let up only slightly and allow a person to act from his own will, he would, from hatred, revenge, and cruelty, perform evil instead of good.

[5] The same applies to the truth which a spiritual man thinks and speaks. Unless he thought and spoke from conscience, and so from good that is the Lord's, he could no more think and speak what is true than the devil's crew when impersonating angels of light. This is perfectly obvious in the next life. From these considerations it is clear how regeneration is accomplished and what the regeneration of a spiritual man is. It is the separation of the understanding part of his mind from the will part by means of conscience, which is formed by the Lord in that understanding part. What is performed in this manner seemingly springs from his own will, but in fact it does so from the Lord.
