Бытие 2

1 Так совершены небо и земля и все воинство их.

2 И совершил Бог к седьмому дню дела Свои, которые Он делал, и почил в день седьмый от всех дел Своих, которые делал.

3 И благословил Бог седьмой день, и освятил его, ибо в оный почил от всех дел Своих, которые Бог творил и созидал.

4 Вот происхождение неба и земли, при сотворении их, в то время, когда Господь Бог создал землю и небо,

5 и всякий полевой кустарник, которого еще не было на земле, и всякую полевую траву, которая еще не росла, ибо Господь Бог не посылал дождя на землю, и не было человека для возделывания земли,

6 но пар поднимался с земли и орошал все лице земли.

7 И создал Господь Бог человека из праха земного, и вдунул в лице его дыхание жизни, и стал человек душею живою.

8 И насадил Господь Бог рай в Едеме на востоке, и поместил там человека, которого создал.

9 И произрастил Господь Бог из земли всякое дерево, приятное на вид и хорошее для пищи, и дерево жизни посреди рая, и дерево познания добра и зла.

10 Из Едема выходила река для орошения рая; и потом разделялась на четыре реки.

11 Имя одной Фисон: она обтекает всю землю Хавила, ту, где золото;

12 и золото той земли хорошее; там бдолах и камень оникс.

13 Имя второй реки Гихон: она обтекает всю землю Куш.

14 Имя третьей реки Хиддекель: она протекает пред Ассириею. Четвертая река Евфрат.

15 И взял Господь Бог человека, и поселил его в саду Едемском, чтобы возделывать его и хранить его.

16 И заповедал Господь Бог человеку, говоря: от всякого дерева в саду ты будешь есть,

17 а от дерева познания добра и зла не ешь от него, ибо в день, в который ты вкусишь от него, смертью умрешь.

18 И сказал Господь Бог: не хорошо быть человеку одному; сотворим ему помощника, соответственного ему.

19 Господь Бог образовал из земли всех животных полевых и всех птицнебесных, и привел к человеку, чтобы видеть, как он назовет их, и чтобы, как наречет человек всякую душу живую, так и было имя ей.

20 И нарек человек имена всем скотам и птицам небесным и всем зверямполевым; но для человека не нашлось помощника, подобного ему.

21 И навел Господь Бог на человека крепкий сон; и, когда он уснул,взял одно из ребр его, и закрыл то место плотию.

22 И создал Господь Бог из ребра, взятого у человека, жену, и привел ее к человеку.

23 И сказал человек: вот, это кость от костей моих и плоть от плоти моей; она будет называться женою, ибо взята от мужа.

24 Потому оставит человек отца своего и мать свою и прилепится к жене своей; и будут одна плоть.

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

8935. An altar of ground thou shalt make unto Me. That this signifies a representative of worship in general from good, is evident from the signification of “an altar,” as being the principal representative of the Lord, and consequently of the worship of Him (see n. 921, 2777, 2811, 4489, 4541); and from the signification of “ground,” as being good. That “ground” denotes good is because by “ground” is signified the church which is in good (n. 566). Hence Adam was said to be “from the ground” (Genesis 2:7; 3:19), for by him was signified the man of the celestial church, or the church which is in good (n. 478, 479). There are two things from which the worship of the Lord is effected; good and truth. Worship from good was represented by an altar of ground, but worship from truth was represented by an altar of stones; both kinds of altars are here treated of. These two things from which worship is effected are called faith and charity; worship from truth bears relation to faith, and worship from good to charity. As regards worship from faith and worship from charity, or from truth and from good, the case is this. Before a man is regenerated he is in worship from truth, but when he has been regenerated, he is in worship from good. For before a man has been regenerated he is led by means of truth to good, that is, by means of faith to charity; but when he has been regenerated he is in good and thence in truth; that is, he is in charity and thence in faith (n. 8516, 8539, 8643, 8648, 8658). These two kinds of worship are what are represented by altars of ground and of stone. (That an altar is the chief representative of the worship of the Lord, because thereon were made burnt-offerings and sacrifices, and these were the things in which the Divine worship of the Hebrew nation, and thus of the Israelitish and Jewish nation, chiefly consisted, see n. 923, 1343, 2180, 2805, 2807, 2830, 3519, 6905)

8648. After he had sent her away. That this signifies separation hitherto relatively to the state of those who are of the spiritual church, is evident from the signification of “sending away,” as being separation. That it is relatively to the state of those who are of the spiritual church, is because in the first state of those who are in the spiritual church good does not appear, but only truth. How this is, can be seen from what has been already shown concerning the two states of those who are of the spiritual church; namely, that in the first state they act from truth and not from good, but in the second they act from good. In the first state, when they act from truth and not from good, good is as it were absent, and is like a wife that has been sent away; but in the second state, when they act from good, then good is present, and is like a wife that is conjoined with her man. This is what is meant in the internal sense by “after he had sent her away.”

[2] Be it further known, that this is relatively to those who are of the spiritual church, for the truth which proceeds from the Lord is always conjoined with its good; but in the first state, which is before regeneration, good is not received, but only truth, although both flow in through heaven from the Lord. In the second state however, which is after regeneration, good is received conjoined with truth. That which takes place with man is predicated as taking place with the Lord, for the reason that it so appears. This is the case in very many other instances, as for example, that the Lord does evil, punishes, casts into hell. These things are predicated of the Lord because it appears so, when yet all evil which befalls man is done by the man. There are very many such things in the Word, which however are plain to him who searches the Scriptures from the affection of truth, and for the sake of the good of life, because he is enlightened by the Lord.
