1 και εγενετο μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα ο θεος επειραζεν τον αβρααμ και ειπεν προς αυτον αβρααμ αβρααμ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω

2 και ειπεν λαβε τον υιον σου τον αγαπητον ον ηγαπησας τον ισαακ και πορευθητι εις την γην την υψηλην και ανενεγκον αυτον εκει εις ολοκαρπωσιν εφ' εν των ορεων ων αν σοι ειπω

3 αναστας δε αβρααμ το πρωι επεσαξεν την ονον αυτου παρελαβεν δε μεθ' εαυτου δυο παιδας και ισαακ τον υιον αυτου και σχισας ξυλα εις ολοκαρπωσιν αναστας επορευθη και ηλθεν επι τον τοπον ον ειπεν αυτω ο θεος

4 τη ημερα τη τριτη και αναβλεψας αβρααμ τοις οφθαλμοις ειδεν τον τοπον μακροθεν

5 και ειπεν αβρααμ τοις παισιν αυτου καθισατε αυτου μετα της ονου εγω δε και το παιδαριον διελευσομεθα εως ωδε και προσκυνησαντες αναστρεψωμεν προς υμας

6 ελαβεν δε αβρααμ τα ξυλα της ολοκαρπωσεως και επεθηκεν ισαακ τω υιω αυτου ελαβεν δε και το πυρ μετα χειρα και την μαχαιραν και επορευθησαν οι δυο αμα

7 ειπεν δε ισαακ προς αβρααμ τον πατερα αυτου ειπας πατερ ο δε ειπεν τι εστιν τεκνον λεγων ιδου το πυρ και τα ξυλα που εστιν το προβατον το εις ολοκαρπωσιν

8 ειπεν δε αβρααμ ο θεος οψεται εαυτω προβατον εις ολοκαρπωσιν τεκνον πορευθεντες δε αμφοτεροι αμα

9 ηλθον επι τον τοπον ον ειπεν αυτω ο θεος και ωκοδομησεν εκει αβρααμ θυσιαστηριον και επεθηκεν τα ξυλα και συμποδισας ισαακ τον υιον αυτου επεθηκεν αυτον επι το θυσιαστηριον επανω των ξυλων

10 και εξετεινεν αβρααμ την χειρα αυτου λαβειν την μαχαιραν σφαξαι τον υιον αυτου

11 και εκαλεσεν αυτον αγγελος κυριου εκ του ουρανου και ειπεν αυτω αβρααμ αβρααμ ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω

12 και ειπεν μη επιβαλης την χειρα σου επι το παιδαριον μηδε ποιησης αυτω μηδεν νυν γαρ εγνων οτι φοβη τον θεον συ και ουκ εφεισω του υιου σου του αγαπητου δι' εμε

13 και αναβλεψας αβρααμ τοις οφθαλμοις αυτου ειδεν και ιδου κριος εις κατεχομενος εν φυτω σαβεκ των κερατων και επορευθη αβρααμ και ελαβεν τον κριον και ανηνεγκεν αυτον εις ολοκαρπωσιν αντι ισαακ του υιου αυτου

14 και εκαλεσεν αβρααμ το ονομα του τοπου εκεινου κυριος ειδεν ινα ειπωσιν σημερον εν τω ορει κυριος ωφθη

15 και εκαλεσεν αγγελος κυριου τον αβρααμ δευτερον εκ του ουρανου

16 λεγων κατ' εμαυτου ωμοσα λεγει κυριος ου εινεκεν εποιησας το ρημα τουτο και ουκ εφεισω του υιου σου του αγαπητου δι' εμε

17 η μην ευλογων ευλογησω σε και πληθυνων πληθυνω το σπερμα σου ως τους αστερας του ουρανου και ως την αμμον την παρα το χειλος της θαλασσης και κληρονομησει το σπερμα σου τας πολεις των υπεναντιων

18 και ενευλογηθησονται εν τω σπερματι σου παντα τα εθνη της γης ανθ' ων υπηκουσας της εμης φωνης

19 απεστραφη δε αβρααμ προς τους παιδας αυτου και ανασταντες επορευθησαν αμα επι το φρεαρ του ορκου και κατωκησεν αβρααμ επι τω φρεατι του ορκου

20 εγενετο δε μετα τα ρηματα ταυτα και ανηγγελη τω αβρααμ λεγοντες ιδου τετοκεν μελχα και αυτη υιους ναχωρ τω αδελφω σου

21 τον ωξ πρωτοτοκον και τον βαυξ αδελφον αυτου και τον καμουηλ πατερα συρων

22 και τον χασαδ και τον αζαυ και τον φαλδας και τον ιεδλαφ και τον βαθουηλ

23 και βαθουηλ εγεννησεν την ρεβεκκαν οκτω ουτοι υιοι ους ετεκεν μελχα τω ναχωρ τω αδελφω αβρααμ

24 και η παλλακη αυτου η ονομα ρεημα ετεκεν και αυτη τον ταβεκ και τον γααμ και τον τοχος και τον μωχα

2723. As regards Beersheba however, 'Beersheba' means the state and the essential nature of the doctrine, that is to say, it is Divine doctrine to which merely human rational ideas have been allied. This becomes clear from the train of thought in verse 22 to the present verse, 2613, 2614, and also from the meaning of the actual expression in the original language as 'the well of the oath' and 'the well of seven'. 'A well' means the doctrine of faith, see 2702, 2720, 'an oath' means a joining together, 2720, as does 'the covenant established with an oath', 1996, 2003, 2021, 2037; and 'seven' means that which is holy and so that which is Divine, 395, 433, 716, 881. From these meanings it may become clear that 'Beersheba' means doctrine which in itself is Divine together with merely human rational ideas or appearances allied to it.

[2] The fact that this is how the name Beersheba was derived is evident from Abraham's words,

Abraham said, Because you will take the seven ewe-lambs from my hand, that they may be a witness for me that I dug this well. Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them swore an oath. And they made a covenant in Beersheba (verses 30-32).

Similarly from Isaac's words recorded in Chapter 26,

So it was on that day, that Isaac's servants came and pointed out to him the reasons for the well which they had dug, and they said to him, We have found water. And he called it Shibah ('an oath' and 'seven'); therefore the name of the city is Beersheba even to this day. Genesis 26:32-33.

This too has to do with wells, about which there was disagreement with Abimelech, and with a covenant made with him. 'Beersheba' means merely human rational ideas which were again allied to the doctrine of faith, and because they were allied to it again and the doctrine was in that way made such that the human mind could grasp it, it is called 'a city' - 'a city' being doctrine in its entirety, see 402, 2268, 2449, 2451. What is more, the name Beersheba is used with a similar meaning in the internal sense in Genesis 22:19; 26:23; 28:10; 46:1, 5; Joshua 15:28; 19:1-2; 1 Samuel 8:2; 1 Kings 19:3, and in the contrary sense in Amos 5:5; 8:13-14. The whole range of celestial and spiritual things taught by doctrine is meant in the internal sense where the land of Canaan is said to range from 'Dan even to Beersheba'; for the land of Canaan means the Lord's kingdom, also the Church, and therefore means the celestial and spiritual things taught by doctrine, as in the Book of Judges.

All the children of Israel came out, and the congregation assembled as one man from Dan even to Beersheba. Judges 20:1.

In the Book of Samuel,

All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba. 1 Samuel 3:20.

Elsewhere in Samuel,

To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba, 2 Samuel 3:10.

Elsewhere in Samuel,

Hushai said to Absalom, Let all Israel be assembled together, from Dan even to Beersheba. 2 Samuel 17:11.

Elsewhere in Samuel, David told Joab to go through all the tribes of Israel from Dan even to Beersheba. 2 Samuel 24:2, 7.

Elsewhere in Samuel,

There died of the people from Dan even to Beersheba seventy thousand men. 2 Samuel 24:15.

In the Book of Kings,

Judah dwelt under his vine and under his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon. 1 Kings 4:25.
