1 Случилось во дни Амрафела, царя Сеннаарскаго, Аріоха, царя Елласарскаго, Кедорлаомера царя Еламскаго и Ѕидала царя Гоимскаго,

2 что они пошли войною противъ Беры царя Содомскаго, противъ Бирши царя Гоморскаго, Шинава царя Адмы, Шемевера царя Цевоимскаго и противъ царя Белы, которая есть Цоаръ.

3 Всј сіи собрались въ долинј Сиддимъ, гдј нынј море соленое.

4 Двјнадцать лјтъ были они въ порабощеніи у Кедорлаомера, а въ тринадцатомъ году отложились.

5 Итакъ въ четырнадцатомъ году пришелъ Кедорлаомеръ, и цари, которые съ нимъ, и поразили Рефаимовъ въ Аштероѕ-Карнаимј, Зузимовъ въ Гамј, Эмимовъ въ Шаве-Киріаѕаимј,

6 и Хорреевъ въ горј ихъ Сеирј до Эл-Фарана, что при пустынј.

7 Обратясь оттуда, они пришли къ источнику Мишпатъ, который есть Кадесъ, и поразили все поле Амалекитянъ, и также Аморреевъ, живущихъ въ Хацацонъ-Ѕамарј.

8 Тогда вышли царь Содомскій, царь Гоморскій, царь Адмы, царь Цевоимскій и царь Белы, которая есть Цоаръ; и устроились въ долинј Сиддимъ къ сраженію противъ нихъ,

9 противъ Кедорлаомера царя Еламскаго, Ѕидала царя Гоимскаго, Амрафела царя Сеннаарскаго, Аріоха царя Елдасарскаго; четыре царя противъ пяти.

10 Въ долинј же Сиддимъ было много смоляныхъ колодезей. Итакъ цари Содомскій и Гоморскій, обратясь въ бјгство, попадали въ нихъ; а прочіе убјжали въ горы.

11 Победители взяли все богатство Содомское и Гоморское, и весь хлјбъ ихъ, и удалились.

12 И взяли Лота, племянника Аврамова, жившаго въ Содомј, и имущество его, и удалились.

13 И пришелъ одинъ изъ уцјлјвшихъ, и извјстилъ Аврама Еврея, жившаго тогда у дубравы Мамре, Аморреянина, брата Эшколу, и брата Анеру, которые были союзники Аврамовы.

14 Итакъ, когда Аврамъ услышалъ, что сродникъ его взятъ въ плјнъ, то вывелъ опытныхъ въ войнј домочадцевъ своихъ триста осьмнадцать и преслјдовалъ непріятелей до Дана;

15 и раздјлясь, напалъ на нихъ ночью, самъ и отроки его, и поразилъ ихъ, и преслјдовалъ ихъ до Ховы, что по лјвую сторону Дамаска.

16 И возвратилъ все бсгатство, и Лота, сродника своего, и имущество его возвратилъ, также и женщинъ и народъ.

17 Когда онъ возвращался послј пораженія Кедорлаомера и царей бывшихъ съ нимъ, то царь Содомскій вышелъ ему на встрјчу въ долину Шаве, что нынј долина царская.

18 И Мельхиседекъ царь Салимскій вынесъ хлјбъ и вино Онъ былъ священникъ Бога Всевышняго.

19 И бдагословилъ его, и сказалъ: Благословенъ Аврамъ отъ Бога Всевышняго, Владыки небесъ и земли.

20 И благословенъ Богъ Всевышній, Который предалъ враговъ твоихъ въ руки твои. Аврамъ далъ ему десятую часть изъ всего.

21 Тогда царь Содомскій сказалъ Авраму: отдай мнј людей, а имјніе возми себј,

22 Но Аврамъ сказадъ царю Содомскому: подъемлю руку мою къ Іеговј, Богу Всевышнему, Владыкј небесъ и земли.

23 И клянусь, что даже нитки и сапожнаго ремня не возму изъ всего твоего, чтобы ты не сказалъ: я обогатилъ Аврама:

24 кромј того только, что съјли рабы, и кромј доли, принадлежащей людямъ ходившимъ со мною; Анеръ, Эшколъ и Мамре, они пусть возмутъ свою долю.

1752. That 'except for what the young men have eaten' means good spirits is clear from what comes before and what comes after. In what has gone before, at verse 13 above, Mamre, Eshkol, and Aner are referred to as being Abram's allies. By these, as is evident from the explanation given at that verse, the state of the Lord's Rational Man in relation to the External Man as regards the nature of its goods and truths was meant; and so the angels who were present with the Lord when He was engaged in conflict were meant. The same is clear from what follows immediately below. Here those who accompanied Abram are called 'young men', by whom none other than good spirits are meant, whereas by 'the men', referred to immediately after, angels are meant. The fact that angels were present with the Lord when He fought against the hells is clear from the Word, and also from the fact that when He was engaged in the conflicts brought about by temptations the angels were bound to be present, to whom the Lord from His own power gave the strength and seemingly the power to fight in company with Him; for all the power which angels have derives from the Lord.

[2] That angels fight against those who are evil becomes clear from what has been stated in various places already about the angels that reside with man - how they protect man and ward off the evils with which spirits from hell assault him, dealt with already in 50, 227, 228, 697, 968. Yet all the power they have derives from the Lord. Good spirits are indeed angels as well but lower ones, for they are in the first heaven, while angelic spirits are in the second, and angels properly so called are in the third, dealt with in 459, 684. Such is the form of government in the next life that good spirits are subordinate to angelic spirits, and angelic spirits to angels themselves, so that they all constitute one angelic community. Good spirits and angelic spirits are those called 'young men' here, while angels themselves are called 'men'.

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."
