1 Въ началј Богъ сотворилъ небеса и землю.

2 Но земля была не образована и пуста, и тьма надъ бездною, и Духъ Божій носился надъ водами.

3 И сказалъ Богъ: да будетъ свјтъ; и сталъ свјтъ.

4 Богъ увидјлъ, что свјтъ хорошъ; и отдјлилъ Богъ свјтъ отъ тьмы.

5 И назвалъ Богъ свјтъ днемъ, а тьму назвалъ ночью. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день одинъ.

6 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да будетъ твердь посреди водъ; и да отдјляетъ она воды отъ водъ.

7 И создалъ Богъ твердь; и отдјлилъ воды, которыя подъ твердію, отъ водъ, которыя надъ твердію: и стало такъ.

8 И назвалъ Богъ твердь небомъ. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день вторый.

9 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да соберутся воды подъ небесами въ одно мјсто: и да явится суша: и стало такъ.

10 И назвалъ Богъ сушу землею, а собраніе водъ назвалъ моремъ: и увидјлъ Богъ, что это хорошо.

11 И сказалъ Богъ: да произраститъ земля зелень, траву, сјющую сјмя, дерева плодовитыя, приносящія по роду своему плодъ, въ которомъ сјмя ихъ на землј: и стало такъ.

12 И произвела земля зелень, сјющую сјмя по роду ея, и дерева приносящія плодъ, въ которомъ сјмя ихъ по роду ихъ. И Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

13 И былъ вечеръ и было утро: день третій.

14 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да будутъ свјтила на тверди небесной, для отдјленія дня отъ ночи, и для знаменій, и временъ, и дней и годовъ;

15 и да будутъ они свјтильниками на тверди небесной, чтобы свјтить на землю: и стало такъ.

16 И создалъ Богъ два свјтила великія: свјтило большое для управленія днемъ, и свјтило меньшое для управленія ночью, и звјзды:

17 и поставилъ ихъ Богъ на тверди небесной, чтобы свјтили на землю.

18 И чтобы управляли днемъ и ночью, и чтобы отдјляли свјтъ отъ тьмы. И Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

19 И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день четвертый.

20 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да породятъ воды пресмыкающихся, души живыя; и птицы да полетятъ надъ землею по тверди небесной.

21 И сотворилъ Богъ большія морскія чудовища, и всякія животныя, живыя пресмыкающіяся, которыя породили воды, по роду ихъ, и всјхъ птицъ пернатыхъ, по роду ихъ: и Богъ увидјлъ, что это хорошо.

22 И благословилъ ихъ Богъ, говоря: плодитесь и размножайтесь и наполняйте воды въ моряхъ, и птицы да размножаются на землј.

23 И былъ вечеръ и было утро: день пятый.

24 Потомъ Богъ сказалъ: да произведетъ земля животныя живыя по роду ихъ, скотъ и гадовъ, и звјрей земпыхъ по роду ихъ: и стало такъ.

25 И создалъ Богъ звјрей земныхъ по роду ихъ, и скотъ по роду его, и всјхъ гадовъ земныхъ по роду ихъ: и увидјлъ Богъ, что это хорошо.

26 И сказалъ Богъ: сотворимъ человјка по образу Нашему, по подобію Нашему; и да владычествуютъ они надъ рыбами морскими, н надъ птицами небесными, и падъ скотомъ, и надъ всею землею, и надъ всјми гадами, пресмыкающимися по землј.

27 И сотворилъ Богъ человјка по образу Своему, по образу Божію сотворилъ его, мущину и женщину сотворилъ ихъ.

28 И Богъ благословилъ ихъ, и сказалъ имъ Богъ: плодитесь и размножайтесь, и наполняйте землю, и обладайте ею, и владычествуйте надъ рыбами морскими, и надъ птицами небесными, и надъ всякимъ животнымъ пресмыкающимся по землј.

29 И сказалъ Богъ: се, Я даю вамъ всякую траву сјющую сјмя, какая есть на всей землј, и всякое дерево, отъ котораго есть плодъ древесный, сјющій сјмя; вамъ сіе да будетъ въ пищу.

30 И всјмъ звјрямъ земнымъ и всјмъ птицамъ небеснымъ и всякому пресмыкающемуся по землј, въ которомъ есть душа живая, даю Я всю зеленјющую траву въ пищу: и стало такъ.

31 И увидјлъ Богъ все, что ни создалъ, и вотъ, весьма хорошо. И былъ вечеръ, и было утро: день шестый.

24. Verse 6. And God said, Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it distinguish between the waters in the waters. After the spirit of God, or the Lord’s mercy, has brought forth into day the knowledges of the true and of the good, and has given the first light, that the Lord is, that He is good itself, and truth itself, and that there is no good and truth but from Him, He then makes a distinction between the internal man and the external, consequently between the knowledges [cognitiones] that are in the internal man, and the memory-knowledges [scientifica] that belong to the external man. 1 The internal man is called an “expanse;” the knowledges [cognitiones] which are in the internal man are called “the waters above the expanse;” and the memory-knowledges of the external man are called “the waters beneath the expanse.”

[2] Man, before he is being regenerated, does not even know that any internal man exists, much less is he acquainted with its nature and quality. He supposes the internal and the external man to be not distinct from each other. For, being immersed in bodily and worldly things, he has also immersed in them the things that belong to his internal man, and has made of things that are distinct a confused and obscure unit. Therefore it is first said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters” and then, “Let it distinguish between the waters in the waters;” but not, Let it distinguish between the waters which are “under” the expanse and the waters which are “above” the expanse, as is afterwards said in the next verses:

And God made the expanse, and made a distinction between the waters which were under the expanse, and the waters which were above the expanse, and it was so. And God called the expanse heaven (Genesis 1:7-8).

[3] The next thing therefore that man observes in the course of regeneration is that he begins to know that there is an internal man, or that the things which are in the internal man are goods and truths, which are of the Lord alone. Now as the external man, when being regenerated, is of such a nature that he still supposes the goods that he does to be done of himself, and the truths that he speaks to be spoken of himself, and whereas, being such, he is led by them of the Lord, as by things of his own, to do what is good and to speak what is true, therefore mention is first made of a distinction of the waters under the expanse, and afterwards of those above the expanse. It is also an arcanum of heaven, that man, by things of his own, as well by the fallacies of the senses as by cupidities, is led and bent by the Lord to things that are true and good, and thus that every movement and moment of regeneration, both in general and in particular, proceeds from evening to morning, thus from the external man to the internal, or from “earth” to “heaven.” Therefore the expanse, or internal man, is now called “heaven.”

Fußnoten:

1. Knowledges (cognitiones) are what we really know, as when we say “I do not merely think so, I know it.” Memory knowledges (scientifica) are what we have in the external memory-a vast accumulation of all kinds, theological and otherwise. For precise definitions of these words by Swedenborg himself, see27, 896, 1486, 2718, 5212. See also the Reviser’s Prefatory Notes. [Reviser.]
