Genesis 14

1 Anomis dienomis karalius Amrafelis iš Šinaro, karalius Arjochas iš Elasaro, Elamo karalius Kedorlaomeras ir Goimo karalius Tidalas

2 pradėjo karą su Sodomos karaliumi Bera, Gomoros karaliumi Birša, Admos karaliumi Šinabu, Ceboimo karaliumi Šemeberu ir karaliumi Belos, dar vadinamo Coaru.

3 Visi šitie, sudarę sąjungą, ėjo į Sidimo slėnį, kur dabar yra Druskos jūra.

4 Dvylika metų jie tarnavo Kedorlaomeriui, o tryliktaisiais metais sukilo.

5 Keturioliktaisiais metais atėjo Kedorlaomeris ir jo sąjungininkai. Jie sumušė refajus Aštarot Karnaime, zūzus Hame, emus Šave Kirjataimo lygumoje

6 ir horus Seyro kalne iki El Parano, kuris siekia dykumą.

7 Paskui jie atėjo į En Mišpatą, tai yra Kadešą, ir nusiaubė visą amalekiečių kraštą ir amoritus, kurie gyveno Hacecon Tamaroje.

8 Tada išėjo Sodomos, Gomoros, Admos, Ceboimo ir Belos karaliai ir išsirikiavo kovai Sidimo slėnyje:

9 prieš Elamo karalių Kedorlaomerį, Goimo karalių Tidalą, Šinaro karalių Amrafelį ir Elasaro karalių Arjochą­keturi karaliai prieš penkis.

10 Sidimo slėnis buvo pilnas dervos duobių. Bėgdami Sodomos ir Gomoros karaliai įkrito į jas, o likusieji pabėgo į kalnus.

11 Laimėtojai, pasigrobę visą Sodomos bei Gomoros turtą ir visas atsargas, nuėjo.

12 Jie taip pat paėmė Abromo brolio sūnų Lotą, kuris gyveno Sodomoje, ir jo turtą.

13 Vienas iš pabėgusiųjų atėjęs pranešė tai Abromui, hebrajui, gyvenančiam amorito Mamrės ąžuolyne; Mamrė ir jo broliai Eškolas ir Aneras buvo Abromo sąjungininkai.

14 Abromas išgirdęs, kad jo brolio sūnus buvo išvestas į nelaisvę, apginklavo tris šimtus aštuoniolika savo išlavintų tarnų, gimusių jo namuose, ir vijosi priešą iki Dano.

15 Jis, padalinęs savo būrį, užpuolė juos nakčia, sumušė ir vijosi juos ligi Hobos, kuri yra į kairę nuo Damasko,

16 ir atsiėmė jų pagrobtą turtą, Lotą ir jo turtą, moteris ir žmones.

17 Kai Abromas sugrįžo, nugalėjęs Kedorlaomerį ir karalius, kurie buvo su juo, Sodomos karalius išėjo jo pasitikti į Šavės slėnį­Karaliaus slėnį.

18 Melchizedekas, Salemo karalius, atnešė duonos ir vyno. Jis buvo aukščiausiojo Dievo kunigas.

19 Jis laimino jį, sakydamas: “Tebūna Abromas palaimintas aukščiausiojo Dievo, dangaus ir žemės valdovo!

20 Tebūna šlovinamas aukščiausiasis Dievas, kuris atidavė tavo priešus į tavo rankas!” Ir Abromas davė jam dešimtinę nuo visko.

21 Sodomos karalius tarė Abromui: “Atiduok man žmones, o turtą pasilaikyk!”

22 Bet Abromas tarė Sodomos karaliui: “Aš, pakėlęs ranką, prisiekiu aukščiausiuoju Dievu, dangaus ir žemės valdovu:

23 nei siūlo galo, nei kurpių dirželio, nei ko nors kito, kas tau priklauso, aš neimsiu, kad nesakytum: ‘Aš padariau Abromą turtingą!’

24 Aš nieko neimsiu, išskyrus tai, ką suvalgė jaunuoliai ir kas priklauso vyrams: Anerui, Eškolui ir Mamrei, kurie ėjo su manimi. Jie tepasiima savo dalį”.

1679. 'And they smote all the territory of the Amalekites' means kinds of falsities. This is clear from the representation and meaning of the 'Amalekite' nation, for all the nations that were in the land of Canaan represented kinds of falsities and evils, as will be clear, in the Lord's Divine mercy, from what follows. 'The Amalekites' means falsities, 'the Amorites in Hazezon-tamar' evils deriving from falsities. That 'the Amalekites' means falsities which assail truths becomes clear from what is mentioned regarding the Amalekites in Exodus 17:13-end; Numbers 13:29; 24:20; Deuteronomy 25:17-19; Judges 5:14; 1 Samuel 15:1-end; 1 Samuel 27:8; Psalms 83:7-8.

[2] The Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim, and Horites, referred to in verses 5-6, mean false persuasions that have their origins in desires for evil, that is, in evils, whereas here 'the Amalekites and the Amorites in Hazezon-tamar' means falsities from which evils derive. Falsity deriving from evil is one thing, falsity and evil deriving from that falsity another. Falsities spring either from evil desires which belong to the will or from accepted ideas which belong to the understanding. Falsities that spring from evil desires belonging to the will are foul and do not easily allow themselves to be rooted out, for they cling to a person's life itself. A person's life itself is that which desires, that is, which loves. As long as he is making that life firm within himself, that is, confirming that desire or love, all things of a confirmatory nature are false and are implanted in his life. Such were the people before the Flood.

[3] Falsities however which spring from accepted ideas belonging to the understanding cannot be rooted in the same way in the will part of man's mind. Like false or heretical doctrines, these have their origin outside of the will, coming instead from the absorption of such matters in early childhood, and after that from the confirmation of them in adult years. Yet because they are false they inevitably produce evils of life. For example, when anyone believes that he merits salvation through works and confirms himself in that belief, a sense of merit, of his own righteousness, and of assurance [of salvation] are the evils that result from it. On the other hand, when anyone believes that a truly devout life is not possible unless merit is attached to works, the evil which results from that belief is that he destroys all such devoutness in himself and gives himself up to evil desires and pleasures. It is the same with many other examples that could be taken. Such are the falsities and derivative evils dealt with in this verse.

Genesis 14

Lernen

   

1 It happened in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

2 that they made war with Bera, king of Sodom, and with Birsha, king of Gomorrah, Shinab, king of Admah, and Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar).

3 All these joined together in the valley of Siddim (the same is the Salt Sea).

4 Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year, they rebelled.

5 In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer came, and the kings who were with him, and struck the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim,

6 and the Horites in their Mount Seir, to Elparan, which is by the wilderness.

7 They returned, and came to En Mishpat (the same is Kadesh), and struck all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, that lived in Hazazon Tamar.

8 The king of Sodom, and the king of Gomorrah, and the king of Admah, and the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (the same is Zoar) went out; and they set the battle in array against them in the valley of Siddim;

9 against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, and Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against the five.

10 Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and those who remained fled to the hills.

11 They took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

12 They took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who lived in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13 One who had escaped came and told Abram, the Hebrew. Now he lived by the oaks of Mamre, the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner; and these were allies of Abram.

14 When Abram heard that his relative was taken captive, he led forth his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued as far as Dan.

15 He divided himself against them by night, he and his servants, and struck them, and pursued them to Hobah, which is on the left hand of Damascus.

16 He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative, Lot, and his goods, and the women also, and the people.

17 The king of Sodom went out to meet him, after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

18 Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High.

19 He blessed him, and said, "blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth:

20 and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand." Abram gave him a tenth of all.

21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the people, and take the goods to yourself."

22 Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have lifted up my hand to Yahweh, God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth,

23 that I will not take a thread nor a sandal strap nor anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich.'

24 I will accept nothing from you except that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre. Let them take their portion."
