Бытие 13

1 И поднялся Аврам из Египта, сам и жена его, и все, что у него было, и Лот с ним, на юг.

2 И был Аврам очень богат скотом, и серебром, и золотом.

3 И продолжал он переходы свои от юга до Вефиля, до места, где прежде был шатер его между Вефилем и между Гаем,

4 до места жертвенника, который он сделал там вначале; и там призвал Аврам имя Господа.

5 И у Лота, который ходил с Аврамом, также был мелкий и крупный скот и шатры.

6 И непоместительна была земля для них, чтобы жить вместе, ибо имущество их было так велико, что они не могли жить вместе.

7 И был спор между пастухами скота Аврамова и между пастухами скотаЛотова; и Хананеи и Ферезеи жили тогда в той земле.

8 И сказал Аврам Лоту: да не будет раздора между мною и тобою, и междупастухами моими и пастухами твоими, ибо мы родственники;

9 не вся ли земля пред тобою? отделись же от меня: если ты налево, то я направо; а еслиты направо, то я налево.

10 Лот возвел очи свои и увидел всю окрестность Иорданскую, что она,прежде нежели истребил Господь Содом и Гоморру, вся до Сигора орошалась водою, как сад Господень, как земля Египетская;

11 и избрал себе Лот всю окрестность Иорданскую; и двинулся Лот квостоку. И отделились они друг от друга.

12 Аврам стал жить на земле Ханаанской; а Лот стал жить в городах окрестности и раскинул шатры до Содома.

13 Жители же Содомские были злы и весьма грешны пред Господом.

14 И сказал Господь Авраму, после того как Лот отделился от него: возведи очи твои и с места, на котором ты теперь, посмотри к северу и к югу, и к востоку и к западу;

15 ибо всю землю, которую ты видишь, тебе дам Я и потомству твоему навеки,

16 и сделаю потомство твое, как песок земной; если кто может сосчитать песок земной, то и потомство твое сочтено будет;

17 встань, пройди по земле сей в долготу и в широту ее, ибо Я тебе дам ее.

18 И двинул Аврам шатер, и пошел, и поселился у дубравы Мамре, что в Хевроне; и создал там жертвенник Господу.

1555. From the south and even to Bethel. That this signifies from the light of intelligence into the light of wisdom, is evident from the signification of “the south,” as being the light of intelligence, or what is the same, a state of light as to the interiors (spoken of before, n. 1458); and from the signification of “Bethel,” as being celestial light arising from knowledges (concerning which before, n. 1453). That is called the light of intelligence which is procured by means of the knowledges of the truths and goods of faith; but the light of wisdom is that of the life which is thence acquired. The light of intelligence regards the intellectual part, or the understanding; but the light of wisdom regards the will part, or the life.

[2] Few, if any, know how man is brought to true wisdom. Intelligence is not wisdom, but leads to wisdom; for to understand what is true and good is not to be true and good, but to be wise is to be so. Wisdom is predicated only of the life-that the man is such. A man is introduced to wisdom or to life by means of knowing [scire et nosse], that is, by means of knowledges [scientiae et cognitiones]. In every man there are two parts, the will and the understanding; the will is the primary part, the understanding is the secondary one. Man’s life after death is according to his will part, not according to his intellectual part. The will is being formed in man by the Lord from infancy to childhood, which is effected by means of the innocence that is insinuated, and by means of charity toward parents, nurses, and little children of a like age; and by means of many other things that man knows nothing of, and which are celestial. Unless these celestial things were first insinuated into a man while an infant and a child, he could by no means become a man. Thus is formed the first plane.

[3] But as a man is not a man unless he is endowed also with understanding, will alone does not make the man, but understanding together with will; and understanding cannot be acquired except by means of knowledges [scientiae et cognitiones] and therefore he must, from his childhood, be gradually imbued with these. Thus is formed the second plane. When the intellectual part has been instructed in knowledges [scientiae et cognitiones], especially in the knowledges of truth and good, then first can the man be regenerated; and, when he is being regenerated, truths and goods are implanted by the Lord by means of knowledges in the celestial things with which he had been endowed by the Lord from infancy, so that his intellectual things make a one with his celestial things; and when the Lord has thus conjoined these, the man is endowed with charity, from which he begins to act, this charity being of conscience. In this way he for the first time receives new life, and this by degrees. The light of this life is called wisdom, which then takes the first place, and is set over the intelligence. Thus is formed the third plane. When a man has become like this during his bodily life, he is then in the other life being continually perfected. These considerations show what is the light of intelligence, and what the light of wisdom.
