Postanak 22

Studija

   

1 Posle toga htede Bog okušati Avrama, pa mu reče: Avrame! A on odgovori: Evo me.

2 I reče mu Bog: Uzmi sada sina svog, jedinca svog milog, Isaka, pa idi u zemlju Moriju, i spali ga na žrtvu tamo na brdu gde ću ti kazati.

3 I sutradan rano ustavši Avram osamari magarca svog, i uze sa sobom dva momka i Isaka sina svog; i nacepavši drva za žrtvu podiže se i pođe na mesto koje mu kaza Bog.

4 Treći dan podigavši oči svoje Avram ugleda mesto iz daleka.

5 I reče Avram momcima svojim: Ostanite vi ovde s magarcem, a ja i dete idemo onamo, pa kad se pomolimo Bogu, vratićemo se k vama.

6 I uzevši Avram drva za žrtvu naprti Isaku sinu svom, a sam uze u svoje ruke ognja i nož; pa otidoše obojica zajedno.

7 Tada reče Isak Avramu ocu svom: Oče! A on reče: Šta je, sine! I reče Isak: Eto ognja i drva, a gde je jagnje za žrtvu?

8 A Avram odgovori: Bog će se, sinko, postarati za jagnje sebi na žrtvu. I iđahu obojica zajedno.

9 A kad dođoše na mesto koje mu Bog kaza, Avram načini onde žrtvenik, i metnu drva na nj, i svezavši Isaka sina svog metnu ga na žrtvenik vrh drva;

10 I izmahnu Avram rukom svojom i uze nož da zakolje sina svog.

11 Ali anđeo Gospodnji viknu ga s neba, i reče: Avrame! Avrame! A on reče: Evo me.

12 A anđeo reče: Ne diži ruku svoju na dete, i ne čini mu ništa; jer sada poznah da se bojiš Boga, kad nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog, mene radi.

13 I Avram podigavši oči svoje pogleda; i gle, ovan iza njega zapleo se u česti rogovima; i otišavši Avram uze ovna i spali ga na žrtvu mesto sina svog.

14 I nazva Avram ono mesto Gospod će se postarati. Zato se i danas kaže: Na brdu, gde će se Gospod postarati.

15 I anđeo Gospodnji opet viknu s neba Avrama.

16 I reče: Sobom se zakleh, veli Gospod: kad si tako učinio, i nisi požalio sina svog, jedinca svog,

17 Zaista ću te blagosloviti i seme tvoje veoma umnožiti, da ga bude kao zvezda na nebu i kao peska na bregu morskom; i naslediće seme tvoje vrata neprijatelja svojih;

18 I blagosloviće se u semenu tvom svi narodi na zemlji, kad si poslušao glas moj.

19 Tada se Avram vrati k momcima svojim, te se digoše, i otidoše zajedno u Virsaveju, jer Avram živeše u Virsaveji.

20 Posle toga javiše Avramu govoreći: Gle, i Melha rodi sinove bratu tvom Nahoru:

21 Uza prvenca i Vuza brata mu, i Kamuila, oca Aramovog,

22 I Hazada i Azava i Faldesa i Jeldafa i Vatuila.

23 A Vatuilo rodi Reveku. Osam ih rodi Melha Nahoru bratu Avramovom.

24 I inoča njegova, po imenu Revma, rodi i ona Taveka i Gama i Tohosa i Moha.

487. That by “days” are signified times and states in general, was shown in the first chapter, where the “days” of creation have no other signification. In the Word it is very usual to call all time “days” as is manifestly the case in the present verse, and in those which follow, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 31 (5, 8, 11, 14, 17, 20, 23, 27, 31); and therefore the states of the times in general are likewise signified by “days;” and when “years” are added, then by the seasons of the years are signified the qualities of the states, thus states in special. The most ancient people had their numbers, by which they signified various things relating to the church, as the numbers “three” “seven” “ten” “twelve” and many that were compounded of these and others, whereby they described the states of the church; wherefore these numbers contain arcana which would require much time to explain. It was an account or reckoning of the states of the church. The same thing occurs in many parts of the Word, especially the prophetical. In the rites of the Jewish Church also there were numbers, both of times and measures, as for instance in regard to the sacrifices, meat-offerings, oblations, and other things, which everywhere signify holy things, according to their application. The things here involved, therefore, in the number “eight hundred” and in the next verse, in the number “nine hundred and thirty” and in the numbers of years in the verses following-namely, the changes of state of their church as applied to their own general state-are too many to be recounted. In a future part of this work, of the Lord’s Divine mercy we shall take occasion to show what the simple numbers up to “twelve” signify, for until the signification of these is known, it would be impossible to apprehend the signification of the compound numbers.
