Бытие 12

1 Между тјмъ Іегова сказалъ Авраму: поди изъ земли твоей, съ родины твоей, и изъ дома отца твоего въ землю, которую укажу тебј.

2 И Я произведу отъ тебя великій народъ, и благословлю тебя, и возвеличу имя твое; и будь ты въ благословеніе.

3 Я благословлю и благословлящихъ тебя, а злословящихъ тебя прокляну; и благословятся въ тебј всј племена земныя.

4 И пошелъ Аврамъ, какъ сказалъ ему Іегова; и съ нимъ пошелъ Лотъ. Семьдесятъ пять лјтъ отъ роду было Авраму, когда онъ вышелъ изъ Харрана.

5 Аврамъ взялъ съ собою жену свою Сару, племянника своего Лота, все имјніе, пріобрјтенное ими, и всјхъ людей, которыхъ они имјли въ Харранј, и пошли въ землю Ханаанскую; и пришли въ землю Ханаанскую.

6 По землј сей Аврамъ прошелъ до мјста Сихема, до дубравы Море. Въ землј сей тогда жили Хананеи.

7 И явился Іегова Авраму, и сказалъ: потомству твоему отдамъ Я землю сію; и тутъ создалъ Аврамъ жертвенникъ Іеговј, который явился ему.

8 Оттуда двигнулся онъ къ горј, лежащей на востокъ отъ Веѕиля, и поставилъ шатеръ свой такъ, что у него Веѕиль былъ отъ запада, а Гай отъ востока. Онъ создалъ и тутъ жергвенникъ Іеговј, и призвалъ имя Іеговы.

9 Потомъ Аврамъ поднялся и продолжалъ идти къ полудню.

10 И былъ гододъ въ землј той. И пошелъ Аврамъ въ Египетъ пожить тамъ; потому что усилился голодъ въ землј той.

11 Когда же онъ приближался къ Египту, то сказалъ Сарј, женј своей: вотъ я знаю, что ты женщина прекрасиая видомъ;

12 можетъ быть, Египтяне, увидјвъ тебя, скажутъ: это жена его, - и убьютъ меня, а тебя оставятъ въ живыхъ;

13 итакъ скажи, что ты мнј сестра, дабы мнј хорошо было ради тебя, и дабы сохранилась жизнь моя чрезъ тебя.

14 Такъ и случилось, что, когда пришелъ Аврамъ въ Египетъ, Египтяне увидјли, что это женщина весьма прекрасная;

15 увидјли ее также вельможи Фараоновы, и похвалили ее Фараону; почему она и взята въ домъ Фараоновъ.

16 Авраму же хорошо было ради ея, и былъ у него мелкій и крупный скотъ, и ослы, и рабы и рабыни, и ослицы и верблюды.

17 Но Іегова тяжкими ударами поразилј Фараона и домъ его за Сару, жену Аврамову.

18 Посему Фараонъ призвалъ Аврама и сказалъ: что ты это сдјлалъ надо мною? для чего не сказалъ мнј, что это жена твоя?

19 Для чего ты сказалъ: это сестра моя? и я взялъ было ее себј въ жену. Итакъ, теперь вотъ тебј жена твоя; возми, и поди.

20 И приказалъ Фараонъ людямъ, чтобы проводили его, и жену его, и все, что у него было.

1444. And the Canaanite was then in the land. That this signifies the evil heredity from the mother, in His external man, is evident from what has been already said concerning that which was inherited by the Lord; for He was born as are other men, and inherited evils from the mother, against which He fought, and which He overcame. It is well known that the Lord underwent and endured the most grievous temptations (concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter), temptations so great that He fought alone and by His own power against the whole of hell. No one can undergo temptation unless evil adheres to him; he who has no evil cannot have the least temptation; evil is what the infernal spirits excite.

[2] In the Lord there was not any evil that was actual, or His own, as there is in all men, but there was hereditary evil from the mother, which is here called “the Canaanite then in the land.” Concerning this, see what was said above, at verse 1 n. 1414), namely, that there are two hereditary natures connate in man, one from the father, the other from the mother; that which is from the father remains to eternity, but that which is from the mother is dispersed by the Lord while the man is being regenerated. The Lord’s hereditary nature from His Father, however, was the Divine. His heredity from the mother was evil, and this is treated of here, and is that through which He underwent temptations (see Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1-2). But, as already said, He had no evil that was actual, or His own, nor had He any hereditary evil from the mother after He had overcome hell by means of temptations; on which account it is here said that there was such evil at that time, that is, that the “Canaanite was then in the land.”

[3] The Canaanites were those who dwelt by the sea and by the coast of Jordan, as is evident in Moses. The spies on their return said:

We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it. Howbeit the people that dwelleth in the land is strong, and the cities are fenced, very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there; Amalek dwelleth in the south; and the Hittite and the Jebusite and the Amorite dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan (Numbers 13:27-29).

That the Canaanites dwelt by the sea and by the coast of Jordan, signified evil thence in the external man, such as is the heredity from the mother; for the sea and the Jordan were boundaries.

[4] That such evil is signified by “the Canaanite,” is also evident in Zechariah:

In that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah Zebaoth (Zechariah 14:21); where the Lord’s kingdom is treated of, and it is signified that the Lord will conquer the evil meant by the Canaanite and will expel it from His kingdom. All kinds of evils are signified by the idolatrous nations in the land of Canaan, among which were the Canaanites (see Genesis 15:15, 19, 21; Exodus 3:8; 3:17; 23:23; 23:28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5). What evil is signified by each nation specifically, shall of the Lord’s Divine mercy be told elsewhere.
