Бытие 8

1 Тогда Богъ вспомнилъ о Ној, и о всјхъ звјряхъ, и о всемъ скотј, бывшихъ съ нимь въ ковчегј; и навелъ Богъ вјтеръ на землю, и воды остановились.

2 И закрылись источники бездны и окна небесныя, и пересталъ дождь съ неба.

3 И начали воды возвращаться съ земли, и шли обратно; и стали убывать воды по окончаніи ста пятидесяти дней.

4 Въ седьмомъ мјсяцј, въ семнадцатый день мјсяца, ковчегъ остановился на горахъ Араратскихъ.

5 Воды убывали до десятаго мјсяца; въ первый день десятаго мјсяца показалісь верхи горъ.

6 По прошествіи сорока дней, Ной открылъ сдјланное имъ окно у ковчега.

7 И выпустилъ ворона, который, вылетјвъ, отлеталъ и прилеталъ, пока осушилась земля отъ воды.

8 Потомъ выпустилъ отъ себя голубя, чтобы узнать, стекла ли вода съ лица земли.

9 Но голубь не нашелъ, гдј поставить ногу свою, и возвратился къ нему въ ковчегъ; ибо вода была еще по всей землј: и потому онъ простеръ руку свою, и взялъ его, и принялъ его въ ковчегъ.

10 И помедлилъ еще семь дней другихъ: и опять выпустилъ голубя изъ ковчега.

11 Голубь возвратился къ нему въ вечернее время; и вотъ, свјжій масличный листъ во рту у него: тогда Ной узналъ, что воды стекли съ земли.

12 Онъ помедлилъ еще семь дней, и выпустилъ голубя; и онъ уже не возвратился къ нему.

13 Шесть сотъ перваго года къ первому дню перваго мјсяца изсякла вода на землј: тогда Ной, открывъ кровлю ковчега, посмотрјлъ, и увидјлъ, что изсякли воды съ лица земли.

14 И во второмъ мјсяцј, къ двадцать седьмому дню мјсяца, осушилась земля.

15 И сказалъ Богъ Ною:

16 выйди изъ ковчега ты, и съ тобою жена твоя, и сыновья твои, и жены сыновъ твоихъ.

17 Выведи съ собою и всј животныя, которыя съ тобою, изъ всякой плоти, изъ птицъ, и изъ скота, и изъ всјхъ гадовъ пресмыкаюшихся по землј; пусть разойдутся онј по землј, и пусть плодятся и размножаются на землј.

18 И вышелъ Ной, и съ нимъ сыновья его, и жена его, и жены сыновъ его.

19 Всј звјри, и всј гады, и всј птицы, и все движущееся по землј, по породамъ своимъ, вышли изъ ковчега.

20 И создалъ Ной жертвенникъ Іеговј, и взялъ отъ всякаго скота чистаго, и изъ всјхъ птицъ чистыхъ, и принесъ всесожженія на жертвенникј.

21 И обонялъ Іегова благоуханіе успокоенія, и сказалъ Іегова въ сердцј Своемъ: отнынј Я уже не буду проклинать земли за человјка, потому что помышленія сердца человјческаго есть зло отъ юности его: и не буду болје поражать всего живущаго, какъ Я то сдјлалъ.

22 Впредь во всј дни земли сјяніе и жатва, холодъ и зной, лјто и зима, дни и ночи не пресјкутся.

911. 1 As regards 'creeping thing that creeps' meaning corresponding things of a like nature residing with his external man, with a regenerate person external things correspond to internal, that is, they are conformable and subservient to them. External things are rendered subservient when a person is being regenerated, at which point he becomes an image of heaven. But before he has been regenerated external things have dominion over internal; and during that time he is an image of hell. Order entails celestial things governing spiritual things first, then natural things by means of spiritual, and lastly bodily things by means of natural. But when bodily and natural things have dominion over spiritual and celestial, order is destroyed. Once order is destroyed, man is an image of hell, and therefore through regeneration the Lord brings about the restoration of order; and once this has been restored a man becomes an image of heaven. In this way the Lord draws a person out of hell and bears him up to heaven.

[2] To make known the way in which the external man corresponds to the internal, let a brief explanation be given. Every regenerate person is a miniature heaven, that is, a replica or image of the whole of heaven, which also is why in the Word his internal man is called heaven. In heaven order is such that the Lord governs spiritual things by means of celestial, and natural things by means of spiritual. In this manner He governs the whole of heaven as one human being, and therefore heaven is called the Grand Man. Furthermore this same order exists with every individual in heaven. And when the same applies to man too, he likewise is a miniature heaven, or what amounts to the same, is the Lord's kingdom, for the Lord's kingdom is within him. In his case external things correspond to internal, that is to say, they are obedient to them, just as they are in heaven. For there are three heavens which are interrelated as one man - spirits constitute the external man, angelic spirits the interior, and angels the inmost, 459.

[3] It is quite the reverse with people who make life consist solely in bodily things, that is, in the desires, pleasures, appetites, and sensations of the body; with people, that is, who take no delight in anything other than that which accompanies self-love and love of the world, that is, which goes with hatred towards everyone who shows them no favour and does not serve them. Because with these people bodily and natural things have dominion over spiritual and celestial, not only is there no correspondence or obedience on the part of external things, but the total reverse exists, so that order is completely destroyed. And because order is thus destroyed they cannot be anything other than images of hell.

Fußnoten:

1. There is no paragraph 910 in the Latin. Possibly a section which refers to beasts meaning things of the will has been accidentally omitted.
