1 Авраамъ пошелъ оттуда въ землю полуденную; и сталъ жить между Кадесомъ и между Суромъ; и пришелъ на время въ Гераръ.

2 И сказалъ Авраамъ о Саррј, женј своей: она сестра моя. И послалъ Авимелехъ, царь Герарскій, и взялъ Сарру.

3 И пришелъ Богъ къ Авимелеху ночью во снј, и сказалъ ему: вотъ, ты умрешь за сію женщину, которую ты взялъ; ибо она имјетъ мужа.

4 Впрочемъ Авимелехъ не прикасался къ ней, и сказалъ: Господи! не ужели Ты погубишь и неповинный народъ?

5 Не самъ ли онь сказалъ мнј: она сестра моя? и она сама сказала: онъ братъ мой. Я сдјлалъ это въ простотј сердца и чистыми руками.

6 И сказалъ ему Богъ во снј: и Я знаю, что ты сдјлалъ сіе въ простотј сердца, Я же и удержалъ тебя отъ грјха предо Мною, потому и не допустилъ тебя прикоснуться къ ней.

7 Итакъ, возврати жену мужу: ибо онъ пророкъ, и помолится о тебј, и ты будешь живъ; а если не возвратишь, то знай, что непремјнно умрешь ты, и всј твои.

8 Авимелехъ всталъ рано, и призвалъ всјхъ рабовъ своихъ, и пересказалъ всј слова сіи въ уши ихъ; и сіи люди весьма испугались.

9 И призвалъ Авимелехъ Авраама, и сказалъ ему: что ты съ нами сдјлалъ? чјмъ согрјшилъ я противъ тебя, что ты навелъ было на меня и на царство мое столь великій грјхъ? ты сдјлалъ со мною дјла. какихъ не дјлають.

10 И сказалъ Авимелехъ Аврааму: что ты имјлъ въ виду, когда дјлалъ такое дјло?

11 Авраамъ сказалъ: я подумалъ: можетъ быть, нјтъ страха Божія на мјстј семъ, и убьютъ меня за жену мою.

12 Да она и подлинно сестра мнј; она дочь отца моего, только не дочь матери моей; и сдјлалась моею женою.

13 Итакъ, когда Богъ повелъ меня изъ дома отца моего странствовать, то я сказалъ ей: сдјлай со мною сію милость, въ какое ни придемъ мы мјсто, вездј говори обо мнј: это братъ мой.

14 Тогда Авимелехъ взялъ мјлкаго и крупнаго скота, и рабовъ, и рабынь, и далъ Аврааму; и возвратилъ ему Сарру, жену его.

15 И сказалъ Авимелехъ: вотъ, земля моя предъ тобою; живи, гдј понравится глазамъ твоимъ.

16 А Саррј сказалъ: вотъ, я далъ брату твоему тысячу сиклей серебра; вотъ, это тебј покрывало для очей, предъ всјми находящимися съ тобою, и предъ всјми прочими, чтобы знали тебя.

17 И помолился Авраамъ Богу, и изцјлилъ Богъ Авимелеха, и жену его, и рабынь его, и онј стали рождать.

18 Ибо совсјмъ заключилъ было Іегова всякое чрево въ домј Авимелеха, за Сарру, жену Авраамову.

2540. Abimelech rose early in the morning. That this signifies clear perception, and the light of confirmation from celestial good, is evident from the signification of “rising in the morning,” also of “Abimelech,” and also of “early.” What “morning” signifies has been shown above (n. 2333, 2405): that it is here clear perception is manifest in itself, as well as from the series; that the perception was at first obscure (n. 2513, 2514); and that afterwards it was less obscure (n. 2528). That “Abimelech” signifies the doctrine of faith looking to rational things, may be seen above (n. 2509, 2510); and what “early” signifies is manifest from the signification of “morning.” As it is here said that he “rose early in the morning,” this not only signifies clear perception, but also the light of confirmation from celestial good; for it is celestial good from which comes the confirming light of truth; all of which shows that this is the signification.

[2] The reason why the perception which the Lord had when in the Human, and His thought concerning what is rational in the doctrine of faith, are so much treated of in the internal sense, is that which has been stated above; as well as that it is angelic to think with distinctiveness of various things concerning the Lord’s life in the world, and how He put off the human rational, and made the rational Divine from His own power; and at the same time concerning the doctrine of charity and faith, such as it is when the rational mixes itself with it; besides many more things dependent on these, which are interior things of the church and of man. To the man whose mind and heart are set upon worldly and corporeal things, these things appear as unimportant, and perchance as of no advantage to him; yet to the angels, whose minds and hearts are set upon celestial and spiritual things, these same things are precious; and their ideas and perceptions respecting them are ineffable. This shows that very many things which seem unimportant to man, because they transcend his comprehension, are held in the highest estimation by the angels, because they enter into the light of their wisdom; and on the other hand, things that are most highly esteemed by man, because they are of the world, and therefore come within his comprehension, are unimportant to the angels, for they pass outside of the light of their wisdom. And such is the case with the internal sense of the Word, relatively to angels and to men, in many places.
