1 Mózes 2

1 És elvégezteték az ég és a föld, és azoknak minden serege.

2 Mikor pedig elvégezé Isten hetednapon az õ munkáját, a melyet alkotott vala, megszûnék a hetedik napon minden munkájától, a melyet alkotott vala.

3 És megáldá Isten a hetedik napot, és megszentelé azt; mivelhogy azon szûnt vala meg minden munkájától, melyet teremtve szerzett vala Isten.

4 Ez az égnek és a földnek eredete, a mikor teremtettek. Mikor az Úr Isten a földet és az eget teremté,

5 Még semmiféle mezei növény sem vala a földön, s még semmiféle mezei fû sem hajtott ki, mert az Úr Isten [még] nem bocsátott vala esõt a földre; és ember sem vala, ki a földet mívelje;

6 Azonban pára szállott vala fel a földrõl, és megnedvesíté a föld egész színét.

7 És formálta vala az Úr Isten az embert a földnek porából, és lehellett vala az õ orrába életnek lehelletét. Így lõn az ember élõ lélekké.

8 És ültete az Úr Isten egy kertet Édenben, napkelet felõl, és abba helyezteté az embert, a kit formált vala.

9 És nevele az Úr Isten a földbõl mindenféle fát, tekintetre kedvest és eledelre jót, az élet fáját is, a kertnek közepette, és a és gonosz tudásának fáját.

10 Folyóvíz jõ vala pedig ki Édenbõl a kert megöntözésére; és onnét elágazik és négy fõágra szakad vala.

11 Az elsõnek neve Pison, ez az, a mely megkerüli Havilah egész földét, a hol az arany [terem.]

12 És annak a földnek aranya igen ; ott van a Bdelliom és az Onix-kõ.

13 A második folyóvíz neve pedig Gihon; ez az, a mely megkerüli az egész Khús földét.

14 És a harmadik folyóvíz neve Hiddekel; ez az, a mely Assiria hosszában foly. A negyedik folyóvíz pedig az Eufrátes.

15 És vevé az Úr Isten az embert, és helyezteté õt az Éden kertjébe, hogy mívelje és õrizze azt.

16 És parancsola az Úr Isten az embernek, mondván: A kert minden fájáról bátran egyél.

17 De a és gonosz tudásának fájáról, arról ne egyél; mert a mely napon ejéndel arról, bizony meghalsz.

18 És monda az Úr Isten: Nem az embernek egyedül lenni; szerzek néki segítõ társat, hozzá illõt.

19 És formált vala az Úr Isten a földbõl mindenféle mezei vadat, és mindenféle égi madarat, és elvivé az emberhez, hogy lássa, minek nevezze azokat; mert a mely nevet adott az ember az élõ állatnak, az annak neve.

20 És nevet ada az ember minden baromnak, az ég madarainak, és minden mezei vadnak; de az embernek hozzá illõ segítõ társat nem talált vala.

21 Bocsáta tehát az Úr Isten mély álmot az emberre, és ez elaluvék. Akkor kivõn egyet annak oldalbordái közûl, és hússal tölté be annak helyét.

22 És alkotá az Úr Isten azt az oldalbordát, a melyet kivett vala az emberbõl, asszonynyá, és vivé az emberhez.

23 És monda az ember: Ez már csontomból való csont, és testembõl való test: ez asszonyembernek neveztessék, mert emberbõl vétetett.

24 Annakokáért elhagyja a férfiú az õ atyját és az õ anyját, és ragaszkodik feleségéhez: és lesznek egy testté.

25 Valának pedig mindketten mezítelenek, az ember és az õ felesége, és nem szégyenlik vala.

Genesis 2 - Synopsis

Da Bradley Sheahan, New Christian Bible Study Staff

Genesis 2 tells the story of God’s creation of Adam from the dust of the earth, and the forming of the Garden of Eden at the headwaters of four rivers. In it there are many trees, with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the midst of them. Then God seeks a helpmeet for Adam, and creates Eve from Adam’s rib while he is sleeping.

Here’s a brief outline:

  • God rests on the seventh day, blesses it, and makes it holy. (Verses 1-4)
  • God creates man, Adam, from the dust of the earth (Verses 5-7)
  • God plants a garden in Eden (Verses 8-14)
  • Adam is placed in the Garden of Eden, and warned not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. (Verses 15-17)
  • God seeks a helpmeet for Adam, and creates Eve from one of Adam’s ribs, and they are married, conjoined. (Verses 18-25)

In its inner spiritual sense, this chapter continues the story of the regeneration, or rebirth, of a human being. The early verses describe a person reaching the seventh stage of rebirth, represented by the Sabbath. It’s the celestial or heavenly state, in which a person has become remade, internally, in the image and likeness of God. Then, God shines through in all that a celestial person does and speaks.

Also, on another level, this chapter begins the story of the most ancient church on earth, sometimes called the Adamic church. “Adam” in Hebrew means “man”, so this is the church of mankind, i.e. a beginning stage of spiritual development in early human beings.

The prior chapter ended with the sixth day, the spiritual stage when a person has been transformed by God into a spiritual person, after the lifelong series of battles that a person encounters in this process. In the opening of Genesis 1, a person is pictured as spiritually dead, void and empty, blind to the love and truth of God, and living his or her life in pursuit of worldly ambitions and sensual pleasures. The evil and falsities that permeate that kind of existence enslave us, and, on our own, we are fighting a losing battle. The bonds that restrain us from evil are fear of the law, fear of the loss of life or loss of wealth, and fear of damage to our reputations. This state is a “natural” one, i.e. not one with much spiritual depth or activity.

If we turn to the Lord for help, though, we can be reformed, and develop a spiritual life, and be reborn. A spiritual person is also in combat with temptations towards evil and falsity, but is victorious. The bonds that restrain such a person are internal – the bonds of conscience. The celestial person, who will be discussed in this chapter of Genesis, is no longer in such combat, because evil and falsities no longer hold any interest.

For this summary, here’s some important insight: In our life in this world, we are very much aware of our physical, natural existence, and largely unaware of our concurrent spiritual one. On the spiritual level, we are continually interacting with people who are already in heaven or hell – spirits, both good (angels) and bad (evil spirits). The classic cartoon image with the little angel on one shoulder and the little devil on the other, both trying to influence us, isn't that far from the truth.

In ancient times, people had a more direct ability to communicate with the spiritual world, but we’ve lost that ability as we’ve become more enmeshed in worldly affairs. In the spiritual battles we need to go through as we’re being reformed, as we become more in tune with God’s love and truth, angels are helping us on our path to reach heaven, both here, as we live out our lives, and then further in the next life.


Spiritual lessons from this chapter:

As we continue in our path to enlightenment, it is God who is still leading us and teaching us about his way. He will continue to feed us the spiritual food that will bring us wisdom and understanding. When we reach the final stage of rebirth, we fulfill the potential He hopes for when he creates us, being made in God's image and likeness -- still uniquely ourselves, but loving and wise, useful and active but internally at peace.

Genesis 3

1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any animal of the field which Yahweh God had made. He said to the woman, "Has God really said, 'You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?'"

2 The woman said to the serpent, "Of the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat,

3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'"

4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die,

5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

6 When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit, and ate; and she gave some to her husband with her, and he ate.

7 The eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked. They sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

8 They heard the voice of Yahweh God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Yahweh God among the trees of the garden.

9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?"

10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."

11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

12 The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate."

13 Yahweh God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

14 Yahweh God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, you are cursed above all livestock, and above every animal of the field. On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will bruise your head, and you will bruise his heel."

16 To the woman he said, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. In pain you will bring forth children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you."

17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.

18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

20 The man called his wife Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

21 Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

22 Yahweh God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he put forth his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever..."

23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed Cherubs at the east of the garden of Eden, and the flame of a sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
