創世記 15

勉強

   

1 這事以耶和華異象中有亞伯蘭說:亞伯蘭,你不要懼!我是你的盾牌,必大大的賞賜你。

2 亞伯蘭耶和華阿,我既無子,你還賜我甚麼呢?並且要承受我家業的是大馬色人以利以謝。

3 亞伯蘭:你沒有兒子;那生在我家中的人就是我的後嗣。

4 耶和華又有對他:這人必不成為你的後嗣;你本身所生的才成為你的後嗣。

5 於是領他走到外邊,:你向觀看,算眾,能得過來麼?又對他:你的後裔將要如此。

6 亞伯蘭信耶和華耶和華就以此為他的

7 耶和華又對他:我是耶和華,曾領你出了迦勒底的吾珥,為要將這賜你為業。

8 亞伯蘭耶和華阿,我怎能知道必得這地為業呢?

9 :你為我取一隻年的母,一隻年的母山羊,一隻年的公綿,一隻斑鳩,一隻雛鴿。

10 亞伯蘭就取了這些來,每樣劈開,分成兩半,一半對著一半地擺列,只有沒有劈開。

11 有鷙鳥來,落在那死畜的肉上,亞伯蘭就把他嚇飛了。

12 日頭正落的時候,亞伯蘭沉沉地睡了;忽然有驚人的黑暗落在他身上。

13 耶和華對亞伯蘭:你要的確知道,你的後裔必寄居別人的,又服事那的人;那的人要苦待他們年。

14 並且他們所要服事的那國,我要懲罰,來他們必帶著許多財物從那裡出來。

15 但你要享大壽數,平平安安地歸到你列祖那裡,被人埋葬。

16 到了第四,他們必回到此地,因為亞摩利人的罪孽還沒有滿盈。

17 日落天黑,不料有冒煙的爐並燒著的把從那些肉塊中經過。

18 當那日,耶和華亞伯蘭立約,:我已賜你的後裔,從埃及直到伯拉

19 就是基尼人、基尼洗人、甲摩尼人、

20 赫人、比利洗人、利乏音人、

21 亞摩利人、迦南人、革迦撒人、耶布斯人之地。

1755. Let them take their portion. That this signifies that they had been given into their power, is evident from what was said above (at 21-24), namely, that it was the Lord’s will to receive nothing from them, because He derived no strength from any such thing. That they had been given into the power of the angels stands thus: It is the angels who rule over evil and infernal spirits, as has been made evident to me from much experience. But the Lord foresees and sees all things in both general and particular, and provides and disposes for them; but some things from permission, some from sufferance, some from leave, some from good pleasure, some from will. The desire to rule is itself something of man’s own which differs from anything that the angels receive from the Lord; but still all their dominion is of love and mercy, apart from any desire to rule. But these things, being deeper arcana, cannot be stated to the understanding in a few words. It is sufficient to know that the evil and infernal spirits have been delivered into the power [potestas] of the angels, and that the Lord governs all things, both in general and in particular, down to the veriest singulars, concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter, where Providence and Permissions are treated of.
