Genesis 16

Lernen

   

1 Abromo žmona Saraja ne turėjo vaikų. Ji turėjo tarnaitę egiptietę, vardu Hagara.

2 Saraja tarė Abromui: “Viešpats nedavė man vaikų gimdyti. Prašau, įeik pas mano tarnaitę, galbūt per ją aš turėsiu vaikų”. Abromas paklausė Sarajos.

3 Abromui išgyvenus dešimt metų Kanaano šalyje, Saraja, Abromo žmona, savo tarnaitę egiptietę Hagarą davė savo vyrui Abromui už žmoną.

4 Jis įėjo pas Hagarą, ir ji pastojo. Hagara pastojusi su panieka ėmė žiūrėti į savo valdovę.

5 Tada Saraja tarė Abromui: “Širdgėla, kurią turiu, tegula ant tavęs! Aš pati daviau savo tarnaitę tau į glėbį, tačiau ji, pasijutusi nėščia, su panieka ėmė žiūrėti į mane. Viešpats tebūna teisėjas tarp manęs ir tavęs”.

6 Abromas tarė Sarajai: “Tavo tarnaitė yra tavo rankose. Elkis su ja, kaip tau patinka”. Kai Saraja ėmė ją spausti, ta pabėgo.

7 Viešpaties angelas, radęs ją prie vandens šaltinio dykumoje, prie kelio į Šūrą,

8 tarė: “Hagara, Sarajos tarnaite, iš kur atėjai ir kur eini?” Ji atsakė: “Bėgu nuo savo valdovės Sarajos”.

9 Viešpaties angelas jai tarė: “Sugrįžk pas savo valdovę ir nusižemink prieš ją.

10 Aš taip padauginsiu tavo palikuonis, kad jų net suskaičiuoti nebus galima.

11 Štai tu esi nėščia ir pagimdysi sūnų. Tu jį pavadinsi Izmaeliu, nes Viešpats išgirdo apie tavo priespaudą.

12 Tavo sūnus gyvens kaip laukinis asilas: jis bus prieš visus ir visi prieš jį, jis gyvens šalia savo brolių”.

13 Ir Viešpatį, kuris su ja kalbėjo, Hagara pavadino: “Tu esi Dievas, kuris mane matai”. Nes ji sakė: “Aš tikrai mačiau Dievą, kuris mato mane”.

14 Todėl tą šulinį pavadino Lahai oiju. Jis yra tarp Kadešo ir Beredo.

15 Hagara pagimdė Abromui sūnų. Abromas pavadino jį vardu Izmaelis.

16 Abromui buvo aštuoniasdešimt šešeri metai, kai Hagara pagimdė jam sūnų.

1823. Take a heifer of three years, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years. That this signifies the representatives of the celestial things of the church, is evident from the signification of the same animals in the sacrifices. No one who thinks sanely can believe that the various animals which were sacrificed signified nothing but sacrifices; or that an ox and a bullock or a calf signified the same as a sheep, a kid, and a she-goat, and these the same as a lamb; and that a turtledove signified the same as young pigeons; the fact being that every animal had its own special signification. This may be sufficiently evident from the fact that in no case was one offered instead of another; and that those are expressly named which were to be used in the daily burnt-offerings and sacrifices, those on the Sabbaths and festivals, those used in free-will offerings, vows, and peace-offerings, those in expiation of guilt and sin, and those in purifications; which would never have been so unless something special had been represented and signified by each animal.

[2] But what was signified by each particular kind would be too tedious to explain here; it is sufficient to know now that celestial things were signified by the animals, and spiritual things by the birds; and by each kind, some special celestial or spiritual thing. The Jewish Church itself, and all things relating to it, were representative of such things as are of the Lord’s kingdom, where there is nothing but what is celestial and spiritual, that is, nothing but what is of love and of faith; as may also be sufficiently evident from the signification of the clean and useful beasts, explained above (n. 45, 46, 142, 143, 246, 714, 715, 776). As in the Most Ancient Churches these were significative of heavenly goods, they afterwards became representative in the church, when worship merely external, which was also representative, was valued and acknowledged.

[3] As the state of the church is here treated of, and it is foretold what that state is to be, this was shown to Abram by similar representatives, exactly as is here related; but still such things are signified in the internal sense, as indeed everyone may know and think; for what would be the need of taking a heifer three years old, a she-goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon, of dividing them into two parts, and placing them so, unless everything had been significative? But what these things signified may be seen from what follows.

Genesis 15

Lernen

   

1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

2 Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

3 Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

4 Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

6 He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

7 He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."

8 He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"

9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

10 He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.

11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

13 He said to Abram, "Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,

15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.

16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."

17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
