1 这些事以要试验亚伯拉罕,就呼叫他亚伯拉罕!他:我在这里。

2 :你带着你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,你所以撒,往摩利亚去,在我所要指示你的上,把他献为燔祭。

3 亚伯拉罕起来,备上,带着两个仆人和他儿子以撒,也劈好了燔祭的柴,就起身往所指示他的地方去了。

4 到了第三日,亚伯拉罕举目远远的见那地方

5 亚伯拉罕对他的仆人:你们和在此等候,我与童子往那里去拜一拜,就回到你们这里来。

6 亚伯拉罕把燔祭的柴放在他儿子以撒身上,自己里拿着与刀;於是人同行。

7 以撒对他父亲亚伯拉罕父亲哪!亚伯拉罕:我儿,我在这里。以撒:请看,与柴都有了,但燔祭的羊羔在那里呢?

8 亚伯拉罕:我儿,必自己预备作燔祭的羊羔。於是人同行。

9 他们到了所指示的地方亚伯拉罕在那里筑,把柴摆好,捆绑他的儿子以撒,放在的柴上。

10 亚伯拉罕就伸拿刀,要杀他的儿子

11 耶和华的使者从呼叫亚伯拉罕亚伯拉罕!他:我在这里。

12 天使:你不可在这童子身上下。一点不可害他!现在我知道你是敬畏的了;因为你没有将你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,留下不给我。

13 亚伯拉罕举目观,不料,有一只公,两角扣在稠密的小树中,亚伯拉罕就取了那只公来,献为燔祭,代替他的儿子

14 亚伯拉罕给那地方起名耶和华以勒(意思就是耶和华必预备的意思),直到今日人还:在耶和华的上必有预备。

15 耶和华的使者第二次从呼叫亚伯拉罕说:

16 耶和华:你既行了这事,不留下你的儿子,就是你独生的儿子,我便指着自己起誓

17 论福,我必赐大福给你;论子孙,我必叫你的子孙多起来,如同上的边的沙。你子孙必得着仇敌的城

18 并且上万国都必因你的後裔得福,因为你听从了我的话。

19 於是亚伯拉罕回到他仆人那里,他们一同起身往别是巴去,亚伯拉罕在别是巴。

20 这事以,有人告诉亚伯拉罕说:密迦给你兄弟拿鹤生了几个儿子

21 长子是乌斯,他的兄弟是布斯和亚兰的父亲基母利,

22 并基薛、哈琐、必达、益拉、彼土利(彼土利生利百加)。

23 个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的。

24 拿鹤的妾名叫流玛,生了提八、迦含、他辖,和玛迦。

3080. And the damsel was exceeding good to look upon. That this signifies the beauty of the affection of truth, is evident from the signification of a “damsel,” as being an affection in which is innocence (see n. 3067). That “exceeding good to look upon” signifies beauty (here the beauty of the affection of truth, because it is said of the damsel) comes from the fact that all beauty is from good in which there is innocence. Good itself when it flows in from the internal man into the external, makes beauty; and from this is all human beauty. This may likewise be seen from the fact that no one is affected by the face of another, but by the affection which beams forth from the face; and that they who are in good are affected by the affection of good which is there, and in the measure in which there is innocence in the good. Thus it is the spiritual in the natural which affects, but not the natural without the spiritual. In like manner they who are in good are affected by little children, who appear to them beautiful in proportion to the innocence of charity in their faces, gestures, and speech. (That goodness and charity are what form and cause beauty, may be seen above, n. 553.) Hence then it is that the “damsel exceeding good to look upon” signifies the beauty of the affection of truth in which there is good.
