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.

Esplorare il significato di Genesi 2

Da New Christian Bible Study Staff (tradotto automaticamente in Italiano)

Ecco alcuni estratti dagli "Arcana Coelestia" di Swedenborg che aiutano a spiegare il significato interno di questo capitolo:

Arcana Coelestia 73. Quando l'uomo da morto è diventato spirituale, allora da spirituale diventa celeste, come viene trattato ora (verso 1).

Arcana Coelestia 74. L'uomo celeste è il settimo giorno, in cui il Signore si riposa (versetti 2, 3).

Arcana Coelestia 75. La sua conoscenza e la sua razionalità (scientificum et rationale ejus) sono descritte dall'arbusto e dall'erba del terreno irrigato dalla nebbia (versi 5, 6).

Arcana Coelestia 76. La sua vita è descritta dall'inspirazione in lui del soffio della vita (versetto 7).

Arcana Coelestia 77. In seguito la sua intelligenza è descritta dal giardino di Eden, a est; in cui gli alberi piacevoli alla vista sono percezioni della verità, e gli alberi buoni per il cibo sono percezioni del bene. L'amore è significato dall'albero della vita, la fede dall'albero della conoscenza (scientiae) (versetti 8, 9).

Arcana Coelestia 78. Con il fiume nel giardino si intende la saggezza. Da lì si dipartivano quattro fiumi, il primo dei quali è il bene e la verità; il secondo è la conoscenza (cognitio) di tutte le cose del bene e della verità, o dell'amore e della fede. Questi sono dell'uomo interno. La terza è la ragione, e la quarta è la memoria-conoscenza (scientia), che sono dell'uomo esterno. Tutte vengono dalla sapienza, e questa viene dall'amore e dalla fede nel Signore (versetti 10-14).

Arcana Coelestia 79. L'uomo celeste è un tale giardino. Ma poiché il giardino è del Signore, è permesso a quest'uomo di godere di tutte queste cose, ma non di possederle come proprie (verso 15).

Arcana Coelestia 80. Gli è anche permesso di acquisire la conoscenza di ciò che è buono e vero per mezzo di ogni percezione da parte del Signore, ma non deve farlo da se stesso e dal mondo, né cercare i misteri della fede per mezzo delle cose del senso e della memoria-conoscenza (sensualia et scientifica); ciò causerebbe la morte della sua natura celeste (versetti 16, 17).

Arcana Coelestia 131. La posterità dell'antichissima Chiesa, che tendeva alla propria, è qui trattata.

Arcana Coelestia 132. Poiché l'uomo è tale da non accontentarsi di essere guidato dal Signore, ma desidera essere guidato anche da se stesso e dal mondo, o dal proprio, quindi il proprio che gli è stato concesso è qui trattato (versetto 18).

Arcana Coelestia 133. E prima gli è dato di conoscere gli affetti del bene e le conoscenze della verità di cui è dotato dal Signore; ma ancora si inclina al proprio (versetti 19, 20).

Arcana Coelestia 134. Perciò viene fatto entrare in uno stato proprio, e gli viene dato un proprio, che è descritto dalla costola costruita in una donna (versetti 21-23).

Arcana Coelestia 135. La vita celeste e la vita spirituale sono unite al proprio dell'uomo, in modo da apparire come un tutt'uno (versetto 24).

Arcana Coelestia 136. E l'innocenza del Signore è insinuata in questa proprietà, affinché non sia ancora inaccettabile (versetto 25).

566. 'The face 1 of the ground' means the whole of that area where the Church was. This is clear from the meaning of 'the ground', for in the Word a careful distinction is made between ground (humus) and land or earth (terra). Whenever 'ground' is used it means the Church or some aspect of the Church. This too is the derivation of the name Man or Adam, which means ground. But when 'land' or earth' occurs in the Word it frequently means where the Church or some aspect of the Church does not exist, as in Chapter 1 where the word 'land' alone is used, because the Church or regenerate person did not as yet exist. Not until Chapter 2 is the word 'ground' used because the Church has by now come into being. The same applies in the present verse and in verses 4, 23, of the next chapter, where it is said that every being was to be wiped off the face 1 of the ground, meaning within that area where the Church was; and in verse 7 of the next chapter, where the subject is the Church that is to be created, 'to keep their seed alive on the face 1 of the ground'. 2 The same applies elsewhere in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Jehovah will have compassion on Jacob, and will still choose Israel, and will set them on their own ground. And the peoples will take them and bring them to their place, and the house of Israel will inherit them on Jehovah's ground. Isaiah 14:1-2.

This refers to the Church once it has come into being; but when in the same chapter the Church does not exist it is called the land, verses 9, 12, 16, 20, 21, 25, 26.

[2] In the same prophet,

And the ground of Judah will be a terror to Egypt. On that day there will be five cities in the land of Egypt which speak the language 3 of Canaan. Isaiah 19:17-18.

Here 'the ground' means where the Church exists, and 'the land' where it does not. In the same prophet,

The land will surely stagger like a drunken man. Jehovah will visit the host of the height on high, and the kings of the ground on the ground. Isaiah 24:20-21.

Here the meaning is similar. In Jeremiah,

Because of the ground which was cracked since there was no rain on the land, the farmers were put to shame, and covered their heads. Even the hind in the field has calved. Jeremiah 14:4-5.

Here 'the land' stands for that which includes the ground, and 'the ground' for that which includes the field.

[3] In the same prophet,

He led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north land and out of all the lands to where I have driven them. And they will dwell on their own ground. Jeremiah 23:8.

Here 'land' and 'lands' mean where Churches do not exist, 'the ground' where the Church or true worship does exist. In the same prophet,

I will render the remnants of Jerusalem, those who are left in this land, and those who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, and I will render them as a horror for evil to all the kingdoms of the land. And I will send sword, famine, and pestilence upon them, until they are consumed from the ground which I gave to them and their fathers. Jeremiah 24:8-10.

'The ground' stands for doctrine and worship arising out of it. And something similar is found in 25:5 of the same book.

[4] In Ezekiel,

I will gather you out of the lands into which you have been scattered. And you will acknowledge that I am Jehovah when I bring you back to the ground of Israel, into the land which I lifted up My hand to give to your fathers. Ezekiel 20:41-42.

'The ground' stands for internal worship. It is called 'the land' when internal worship does not exist. In Malachi,

I will rebuke the devourer for you, and he will not ruin for you the fruit of the ground, nor will the vine in the field fail you. And all the nations will call you blessed, for you will be a land of that which is pleasing. Malachi 3:11-12.

Here 'land' stands for that which includes, and so plainly stands for man who is actually called 'the land', when 'ground' stands for the Church or doctrine.

[5] In Moses,

Sing, O Nations, His people. He will reconcile His ground, His people. Deuteronomy 32:43.

This clearly stands for the Church of the gentiles, which is called 'the ground'. In Isaiah,

Before the boy knows to refuse evil and to choose good, the ground will be deserted which you loathe in the presence of its two kings. Isaiah 7:16.

This refers to the Coming of the Lord. 'The ground will be deserted' stands for the Church or true doctrine of faith. The words 'ground 'and 'field' are clearly used in this way because they are places that are sown, as in Isaiah,

He will give rain for your seed with which you may sow the ground. Oxen and young asses tilling the ground . . . Isaiah 30:23-24.

And in Joel,

The field has been laid waste, and the ground has been mourning because the corn has been laid waste. Joel 1:10.

From these quotations it is now clear that 'man', who in Hebrew is called Adam from the word for ground, means the Church.
