1 Και εκινησεν εκειθεν ο Αβρααμ εις την γην την προς μεσημβριαν, και κατωκησε μεταξυ Καδης και Σουρ· και παρωκησεν εν Γεραροις.

2 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ περι Σαρρας της γυναικος αυτου, Αδελφη μου ειναι. Εστειλε δε Αβιμελεχ ο βασιλευς των Γεραρων, και ελαβε την Σαρραν.

3 Και ηλθεν ο Θεος προς τον Αβιμελεχ κατ' οναρ την νυκτα, και ειπε προς αυτον, Ιδου, συ αποθνησκεις εξ αιτιας της γυναικος, την οποιαν ελαβες· διοτι ειναι νενυμφευμενη με ανδρα.

4 Ο δε Αβιμελεχ δεν ειχε πλησιασει εις αυτην· και ειπε, Κυριε, ηθελες φονευσει εθνος ετι και δικαιον;

5 δεν μοι ειπεν αυτος, Αδελφη μου ειναι; και αυτη παλιν, αυτη ειπεν, Αδελφος μου ειναι. Εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας μου και εν καθαροτητι των χειρων μου επραξα τουτο.

6 Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο Θεος κατ' οναρ, Και εγω εγνωρισα οτι εν ευθυτητι της καρδιας σου επραξας τουτο· οθεν και εγω σε εμποδισα απο του να αμαρτησης εις εμε· δια τουτο δεν σε αφηκα να εγγισης αυτην·

7 τωρα λοιπον αποδος την γυναικα προς τον ανθρωπον, διοτι ειναι προφητης· και θελει προσευχηθη υπερ σου και θελεις ζησει· αλλ' εαν δεν αποδωσης αυτην, εξευρε οτι εξαπαντος θελεις αποθανει, συ και παντα οσα εχεις.

8 Σηκωθεις δε ο Αβιμελεχ ενωρις το πρωι, εκαλεσε παντας τους δουλους αυτου, και ελαλησε παντας τους λογους τουτους εις επηκοον αυτων· και εφοβηθησαν οι ανθρωποι σφοδρα.

9 Και εκαλεσεν ο Αβιμελεχ τον Αβρααμ και ειπε προς αυτον, Τι επραξας εις ημας; και τι αμαρτημα επραξα εις σε, ωστε επεφερες επ' εμε και επι το βασιλειον μου, αμαρτιαν μεγαλην; επραξας εις εμε πραγμα, το οποιον δεν επρεπε να πραχθη.

10 Και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ προς τον Αβρααμ, Τι ειδες, ωστε να πραξης το πραγμα τουτο;

11 Και ειπεν ο Αβρααμ, Επειδη εγω ειπον, Βεβαια δεν ειναι φοβος Θεου εν τω τοπω τουτω και θελουσι με φονευσει δια την γυναικα μου·

12 και ομως αληθως αδελφη μου ειναι, θυγατηρ του πατρος μου, αλλ' ουχι θυγατηρ της μητρος μου· και εγεινε γυνη μου.

13 και οτε με εκαμεν ο Θεος να εξελθω εκ του οικου του πατρος μου, ειπον προς αυτην, Ταυτην την χαριν θελεις καμει εις εμε· εις παντα τοπον οπου αν υπαγωμεν, λεγε περι εμου, Ουτος ειναι αδελφος μου.

14 Και ελαβεν ο Αβιμελεχ προβατα και βοας και δουλους και δουλας, και εδωκεν εις τον Αβρααμ, και απεδωκεν εις αυτον Σαρραν την γυναικα αυτου.

15 και ειπεν ο Αβιμελεχ, Ιδου, η γη μου εμπροσθεν σου. κατοικησον οπου σοι αρεσκει.

16 Και προς την Σαρραν ειπεν, Ιδου, εδωκα χιλια αργυρια εις τον αδελφον σου· ιδου, αυτος ειναι εις σε σκεπη των οφθαλμων προς παντας τους μετα σου και προς παντας τους αλλους. Ουτως αυτη επεπληχθη.

17 Προσηυχηθη δε ο Αβρααμ προς τον Θεον· και εθεραπευσεν ο Θεος τον Αβιμελεχ και την γυναικα αυτου και τας θεραπαινας αυτου, και ετεκνοποιησαν.

18 διοτι ο Κυριος ειχε κλεισει διολου πασαν μητραν εν τη οικια του Αβιμελεχ, εξ αιτιας Σαρρας της γυναικος του Αβρααμ.

2554. They will kill me for my wife’s sake. That this signifies that thus the celestial things of faith also would perish, if they were to think that spiritual truth alone could be conjoined with celestial good, is evident from the signification of “killing,” as being to perish; and from the signification of “wife,” as being spiritual truth conjoined with celestial good (see n. 2507). This is another reason why the Lord thus thought, and is as follows. The Divine good, which is here called celestial good, is united as by a marriage to the Divine truth, which is here called spiritual truth (n. 2508); and although the Divine good is united in this manner to the Divine truth alone, it nevertheless flows into lower truths, and conjoins itself with them, but not as by a marriage; for it flows into rational truths which are only appearances of truth, and conjoins itself with them; nay, it flows into truths of sense and of memory-knowledge, which are scarcely anything but fallacies, and conjoins itself with these. Unless this were so, no man could possibly have been saved (see Part First,n. 1831-1832). That the Divine good might be conjoined with truths of reason and of memory-knowledge, and that man might thus be saved, was the purpose of the Lord’s coming into the world; for without the Lord’s Human made Divine there cannot possibly be any conjunction; whereas through Him there is conjunction.

[2] Besides this arcanum, there are still other arcana in the words “they will kill me for my wife’s sake” (by which is signified that so the celestial things of faith would perish, if they were to think that spiritual truth alone could be conjoined with celestial good); for example, that if men were to have no regard for spiritual truth, celestial good would thereby also perish; for when the former is rejected the latter perishes; and again, that unless it were said that they should adore the Father (although there is no access to Him except through the Son, and he who sees the Son sees the Father, John 14:8-12), it would not have been received: besides other arcana.

Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

2 Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

3 Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

4 Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

6 He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

7 He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."

8 He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"

9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

10 He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.

11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

13 He said to Abram, "Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,

15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.

16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."

17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
