Génesis 1

Estudio

1 En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra.

2 Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas.

3 Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz; y fue la luz.

4 Y vio Dios que la luz era buena; y apartó Dios a la luz de las tinieblas.

5 Y llamó Dios a la luz Día, y a las tinieblas llamó Noche; y fue la tarde y la mañana un día.

6 Y dijo Dios: Sea un extendimiento en medio de las aguas, y haya apartamiento entre aguas y aguas.

7 E hizo Dios un extendimiento, y apartó las aguas que estaban debajo del extendimiento, de las aguas que estaban sobre el extendimiento; y fue así.

8 Y llamó Dios al extendimiento Cielos; y fue la tarde y la mañana el día segundo.

9 Y dijo Dios: Júntense las aguas que están debajo de los cielos en un lugar, y descúbrase lo seco; y fue así.

10 Y llamó Dios a lo seco Tierra, y al ayuntamiento de las aguas llamó Mares; y vio Dios que era bueno.

11 Y dijo Dios: Produzca la tierra hierba verde, hierba que haga simiente; árbol de fruto que haga fruto según su naturaleza, que su simiente esté en él sobre la tierra; y fue así.

12 Y produjo la tierra hierba verde, hierba que hace simiente según su naturaleza, y árbol que hace fruto, cuya simiente está en él según su naturaleza; y vio Dios que era bueno.

13 Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día tercero.

14 Y dijo Dios: Sean luminarias en el extendimiento de los cielos para apartar el día y la noche; y sean por señales, y por tiempos determinados , y por días y años;

15 y sean por luminarias en el extendimiento de los cielos para alumbrar sobre la tierra; y fue así.

16 E hizo Dios las dos luminarias grandes; la luminaria grande para que señorease en el día, y la luminaria pequeña para que señorease en la noche, y las estrellas.

17 Y las puso Dios en el extendimiento de los cielos, para alumbrar sobre la tierra,

18 y para señorear en el día y en la noche, y para apartar la luz y las tinieblas; y vio Dios que era bueno.

19 Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día cuarto.

20 Y dijo Dios: Produzcan las aguas gran cantidad de criaturas de alma viviente, y aves que vuelen sobre la tierra, sobre la faz del extendimiento de los cielos.

21 Y creó Dios los grandes dragones, y todo animal que vive , que las aguas produjeron según sus naturalezas, y toda ave de alas según su naturaleza; y vio Dios que era bueno.

22 Y Dios los bendijo diciendo: Fructificad y multiplicaos, y llenad las aguas en los mares, y las aves se multipliquen en la tierra.

23 Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día quinto.

24 Y dijo Dios: Produzca la tierra alma viviente según su naturaleza, bestias y serpientes, y animales de la tierra según su naturaleza; y fue así.

25 E hizo Dios animales de la tierra según su naturaleza, y bestias según su naturaleza, y todas las serpientes de la tierra según su naturaleza; y vio Dios que era bueno.

26 Y dijo Dios: Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen, conforme a nuestra semejanza; y señoree en los peces del mar, y en las aves de los cielos, y en las bestias, y en toda la tierra, y en toda serpiente que se anda arrastrando sobre la tierra.

27 Y creó Dios al hombre a su imagen, a imagen de Dios lo creó; macho y hembra los creó.

28 Y los bendijo Dios; y les dijo Dios: Fructificad y multiplicaos, y llenad la tierra, y sojuzgadla, y señoread en los peces del mar, y en las aves de los cielos, y en todas las bestias que se mueven sobre la tierra.

29 Y dijo Dios: He aquí os he dado toda hierba que hace simiente, que está sobre la faz de toda la tierra; y todo árbol en que hay fruto de árbol que haga simiente, os serán para comer.

30 Y a toda bestia de la tierra, y a todas las aves de los cielos, y a todo lo que se mueve sobre la tierra, en que hay ánima viviente, toda verdura de hierba verde les será para comer; y fue así.

31 Y vio Dios todo lo que había hecho, y he aquí que era bueno en gran manera. Y fue la tarde y la mañana el día sexto.

Arcana Coelestia #300

300. As regards the first arcanum, that 'Jehovah God' is used to mean the Lord and at the same time heaven, it should be recognized that in the Word, always for some hidden reason, the Lord is sometimes called simply Jehovah, sometimes Jehovah God, sometimes Jehovah and God interchangeably, sometimes the Lord Jehovah, sometimes the God of Israel, and sometimes simply God. In Genesis 1, for example, where again an utterance is made in the plural, 'Let Us make man in Our image', God is the only name used. Not until the next chapter, where the celestial man is the subject, is He called Jehovah God-Jehovah, because He alone has Being and is Living, and so from His essence; God, because of His ability to accomplish all things, and so from His power, as is clear in the Word where the two names are used separately, Isaiah 49:4-5; 55:7; Psalms 18:2, 28, 30-31; Psalms 38:15. Consequently any angel or spirit who spoke to a person, or who people thought had the ability to accomplish something, they called God, as is clear in David,

God stands in the assembly of God, in the midst of the Gods will He judge. Psalms 82:1.

And elsewhere in David,

Who in the sky will be compared to Jehovah? Who will be likened to Jehovah among the sons of gods? Psalms 89:6.

And elsewhere in the same,

Confess the God of Gods; confess the Lord of lords. Psalms 136:2-3

It is from power that even men are called 'gods', as in Psalms 82:6; John 10:34-35. And Moses is spoken of as 'a god to Pharaoh', Exodus 7:1. And this also is why [in Hebrew] the word for God, Elohim, is plural. But because angels have no power whatsoever from themselves, as they themselves also confess, but from the Lord only, and as there is but one God, Jehovah God is therefore used in the Word to mean the Lord alone. Yet when anything is accomplished through the ministry of angels He is spoken of in the plural, as in Genesis 1. In the present chapter too, since a celestial man, as man, did not bear comparison with the Lord, but with angels, it is therefore said that 'the man has become as one of Us in knowing good and evil', that is, become someone wise and having intelligence.

Genesis 1

Estudio

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, one day.

6 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

8 God called the expanse "sky." There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

9 God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.

10 God called the dry land "earth," and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.

11 God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth;" and it was so.

12 The earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth;" and it was so.

16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

20 God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky."

21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

22 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

24 God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so.

25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

27 God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
