Бытие 2

1 Такимъ образомъ совершены небеса и земля и все воинство ихъ.

2 И совершилъ Богъ днемъ седьмымъ дјло Свое, которое Онъ дјлалъ и почилъ въ день седьмый отъ всего дјла Своего, которое Онъ дјлалъ.

3 И благословилъ Богъ день седьмый; и освятилъ его, ибо въ оный почилъ отъ всего дјла Своего, которое Богъ творилъ и дјлалъ.

4 Сіи суть порожденія небесъ и земли, при сотвореніи ихъ, въ то время, когда Іегова Богъ создалъ землю и небеса.

5 И всякой полевой кустарникъ, котораго до того не было на землј, и всякую полевую траву, которая до того не произростала; ибо Іегова Богъ не посылалъ дождя на землю, и не было человјка, для воздјланія поля.

6 Только паръ поднимался съ земли, и орошалъ все лице земли.

7 Іегова Богъ создалъ человјка изъ персти земной, и вдунулъ въ ноздри его дыханіе жизни, и человјкъ сталъ душею живою.

8 И насадилъ Іегова Богъ садъ въ Едемј къ востоку: и поставилъ тамъ человјка, котораго создалъ.

9 И произрастилъ Іегова Богъ изъ земли всякое дерево прекрасное видомъ, и хорошее для пищи и дерево жизни посреди сада, и дерево познанія добра и зла,

10 Изъ Едема выходила рјка для орошенія сада; и потомъ раздјлялась на четыре потока.

11 Имя перваго Фисонъ; онъ обтекаетъ всю землю Хавила, гдј есть золото.

12 И золото земли той наилучшее, тамъ также бдолахъ и камень ониксъ.

13 Имя второй рјкј Гихонъ: сія обтекаетъ всю землю Хушъ.

14 Имя третьей рјкј Хиддекель; сія протекаетъ противъ Ассиріи. Четвертая рјка есть Ефратъ.

15 И взялъ Іегова Богъ человјка, и поставилъ его въ саду Едемскомъ, чтобы онъ воздјлывалъ его и хранилъ его.

16 И заповјдалъ Іегова Богъ человјку, говоря: јшъ плоды со всякаго дерева въ семъ саду.

17 А плодовъ древа познанія добра и зла не јшь; ибо въ день, въ который ты вкусишь ихъ, смертію умрешь.

18 И сказалъ Іегова Богъ: не хорошо быть человјку одному; сдјлаю ему помощь приличную ему.

19 Ибо когда Іегова Богъ создалъ изъ земли всјхъ звјрей полевыхъ, и всјхъ птицъ небесныхъ, и привелъ къ человјку, чтобы онъ посмотрјлъ, какъ назвать ихъ, и чтобы, какъ наречетъ человјкъ всякую душу живую, такъ и было имя ей;

20 и когда нарекъ человікъ имена всему скоту и птицамъ небеснымъ и всјмъ звјрямъ полевымъ: тогда для человјка не нашлось помощи приличной ему.

21 И навелъ Іегова Богъ на человјка крјпкій сонъ; и когда онъ уснулъ, взялъ одно изъ ребръ его, и закрылъ то мјсто плотію.

22 И создалъ Іегова Богъ изъ ребра, взятаго у человјка, жену, и привелъ ее къ человјку.

23 Тогда человјкъ сказалъ: вотъ это кость изъ костей моихъ, и плоть отъ плоти моей; она будетъ называться женою: ибо она взята изъ мужа.

24 Посему оставитъ человјкъ отца своего и свою мать, и прилјпится къ женј своей, и будутъ одна плоть.

25 И были они оба наги, человјкъ и жена его, и не стыдились.

213. "'That the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed.'" This symbolically means, so as not to profane and adulterate the goodness of heavenly love.

No one can know the symbolic meaning of the shame of nakedness unless he knows that the reproductive organs in both sexes, called also the genitalia, correspond to celestial love.

To be shown that the human body and all its constituents have a correspondence with the heavens, see the book Heaven and Hell, published in London in , nos. 87-102. And to be shown that the reproductive organs correspond to celestial love, see Arcana Coelestia (The Secrets of Heaven), also published in London, nos. 5050-5062.

Now because these organs correspond to celestial love, which is the love found in the third or inmost heaven, and because a person is born of his parents into loves contrary to that love, it is apparent that if he does not acquire for himself the goodness of love and the truth of wisdom from the Lord, which are symbolically meant by gold refined in fire and white garments, he will be seen to be impelled by a contrary love, which in itself is profane.

[2] This latter circumstance is symbolically meant by uncovering nakedness and manifesting the shame of it, in the following places:

Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and his private parts be seen. (Revelation 16:15)

...daughter of Babylon (and of the Chaldeans), sit on the ground... Uncover your hair..., uncover the thigh, pass through the rivers. Let your nakedness be uncovered; yes, let your shame be seen. (Isaiah 47:1-3)

Woe to the bloody city! ...Because of the multitude of (her) harlotries... I will uncover your skirts in front of you, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your disgrace. (Nahum 3:1, 4-5)

Contend with your mother... lest I strip her naked... (Hosea 2:2-4)

When I passed by you... I covered your nakedness... Then I washed you... and... I clothed you... But you... played the harlot... not remembering your youth, when you were naked and bare... (Therefore) your nakedness was uncovered... (Ezekiel 16:6ff.)

Jerusalem has sinned gravely; therefore... all... despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. (Lamentations 1:8)

Jerusalem, of which these things were said, means the church; and to play the harlot means, symbolically, to adulterate and falsify the Word (no. 134).

Woe to him who makes his neighbor drink..., making him drunk, that you may look on his nakedness! ...Drink, you too, that your uncircumcised foreskin may be exposed! (Habakkuk 2:15-16)

[3] Someone who knows what nakedness symbolizes can understand what is symbolically meant by the statement that when Noah was drunk from drinking wine he lay uncovered inside his tent, and Ham saw and laughed at his nakedness, but Shem and Japheth covered his nakedness, turning their faces away so as not to see it (Genesis 9:21-23). He can understand also why it was decreed that Aaron and his sons should not go up by steps to the altar, that their nakedness might not be exposed (Exodus 20:26). And so, too, why it was decreed that they should make for them linen trousers to cover their naked flesh, that they should have these on when they came near the altar, and that otherwise they would bear their iniquity and die (Exodus 28:42-43).

Nakedness in these places symbolizes the evils into which a person is born, which, because they are contrary to the goodness of celestial love, are in themselves profane and are removed only by truths and by living in accordance with those truths. Linen also symbolizes truth (no. 671[1-2]).

[4] Nakedness in addition symbolizes innocence, and also ignorance of goodness and truth. Innocence is symbolized by the statement, "they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they had no cause for shame" (Genesis 2:25). Ignorance of goodness and truth is symbolized by the following:

...this... fast that I choose: ...to break bread with the hungry..., and... when you see the naked man, to cover him. (Isaiah 58:6-7)

He gives his bread to the hungry man, and covers the naked one with clothing. (Ezekiel 18:7)

...I was hungry and you gave Me food...; I was naked and you clothed Me. (Matthew 25:35-36)
