1 Но Сара, жена Аврамова, не раждала ему. И какъ у ней была служанка Египтянка, именемъ Агарь;

2 то Сара сказала Авраму: вотъ Іегова заключилъ чрево мое, чтобы мнј нс раждать; итакъ войди къ служанкј моей; можетъ быть, я буду имјть дјтей отъ нея. Аврамъ послушался словъ Сары.

3 Такимъ образомъ, по исполненіи десяти лјтъ пребыванія Аврамова въ землј Ханаанской, взяла Сара, жена Аврамова, служанку свою Египтянку Агарь, и дала ее Авраму, мужу своему, въ жену.

4 Онъ вошелъ къ Агари, и она зачала. Когда же она увидјла, что зачала: то стала презирать госпожу свою.

5 Тогда Сара сказала Авраму: въ обидј моей ты виновенъ; я отдала служанку мою въ нјдро твое; а она, увидя, что зачала, смотритъ на меня съ презрјніемъ; Іегова будетъ судить меня съ тобою.

6 Аврамъ сказалъ Сарј: вотъ, служанка твоя въ твоихъ рукахъ, дјлай съ нею, что тебј заблагоразсудится. Итакъ Сара стала смирять ее; а та убјжала отъ нея.

7 И нашелъ ее Ангелъ Іеговы у источника водъ въ пустынј, у источника на дорогј къ Суру,

8 и сказалъ: Агарь, раба Сарина! откуда ты пришла, и куда идешь? Она отвјчала: я бјгу отъ лица Сары, госпожи моей.

9 Но Ангелъ Іеговы сказалъ ей: возвратись къ госпожј своей, и покорись ей.

10 Потомъ сказалъ ей Ангелъ Іеговы: умножая умножу потомство твое, такъ что нельзя и счесть отъ множества.

11 Наконецъ Ангелъ Іеговы сказалъ ей: вотъ ты беременна, и родишь сына и наречешь ему имя Измаилъ; ибо услышалъ Іегова страданіе твое.

12 Онъ будетъ онагръ-человјкъ; руки его на всјхъ, и руки всјхъ на него; жить будетъ онъ предъ лицемъ всјхъ братьевъ своихъ.

13 Тогда она нарекла Іегову, Который говорилъ къ ней, симъ именемъ: Ты Богъ видјнія! Ибо сказала она: даже и здјсъ я видјла въ слјдъ Видящаго меня!

14 Посему источникъ тотъ называется: Беэр-лахай-рои (источникъ Живаго, Видящаго). Онъ находится между Кадесомъ и между Баредомъ.

15 Агарь родила Авраму сына; и нарекъ Аврамъ имя сыну своему, рожденному отъ Агари, Измаилъ.

16 Авраму было восемьдесятъ шесть лјтъ оть рожденія, когда Агарь родила Авраму Измаила.

1894. That 'Sarai' is truth allied to good has been stated and shown already in 1468 and elsewhere; and that 'Abram' is the Lord's Internal Man, which is Jehovah, has likewise been stated and shown. The reason why the Lord's Internal Man, which is Jehovah, is called Man is that nobody is Man except Jehovah alone, for in its genuine sense Man means that Being (Esse) from which man derives his being. Being (Esse) itself - from which man derives his being - is Divine, and is consequently celestial and spiritual. Without that Divine celestial and spiritual there is nothing truly human in man, only something animal-like such as exists in beasts. It is by virtue of Jehovah's or the Lord's Being (Esse) that every man is 'man', and by virtue also of His Being that he is called 'man'. The celestial which makes him man consists in his love of the Lord and his love of the neighbour; and so he is man because he is an image of the Lord and because he has that celestial character from the Lord. Otherwise he is a wild beast.

[2] As regards Jehovah or the Lord being the only Man and that it is by virtue of Him that men are called 'men', also that one is more so man than another, see 49, 288, 477, 565. This matter becomes additionally clear from the fact that Jehovah or the Lord manifested Himself as Man to the patriarchs of the Most Ancient Church, subsequently to Abraham as well, and also to the prophets. This too was why the Lord was pleased, when no man remained on earth any more, that is, when nothing celestial or spiritual was left to mankind any more, to take on human nature by being born as any other, and to make that human nature Divine. In this respect also He is the only Man. In addition to this the whole of heaven presents before the Lord the image of a human being, because it is a presentation of Himself, and as a consequence heaven is called the Grand Man, chiefly from the fact that in heaven the Lord is the All in all.
