1 וירא אליו יהוה באלני ממרא והוא ישב פתח־האהל כחם היום׃

2 וישא עיניו וירא והנה שלשה אנשים נצבים עליו וירא וירץ לקראתם מפתח האהל וישתחו ארצה׃

3 ויאמר אדני אם־נא מצאתי חן בעיניך אל־נא תעבר מעל עבדך׃

4 יקח־נא מעט־מים ורחצו רגליכם והשענו תחת העץ׃

5 ואקחה פת־לחם וסעדו לבכם אחר תעברו כי־על־כן עברתם על־עבדכם ויאמרו כן תעשה כאשר דברת׃

6 וימהר אברהם האהלה אל־שרה ויאמר מהרי שלש סאים קמח סלת לושי ועשי עגות׃

7 ואל־הבקר רץ אברהם ויקח בן־בקר רך וטוב ויתן אל־הנער וימהר לעשות אתו׃

8 ויקח חמאה וחלב ובן־הבקר אשר עשה ויתן לפניהם והוא־עמד עליהם תחת העץ ויאכלו׃

9 ויאמרו אליו איה שרה אשתך ויאמר הנה באהל׃

10 ויאמר שוב אשוב אליך כעת חיה והנה־בן לשרה אשתך ושרה שמעת פתח האהל והוא אחריו׃

11 ואברהם ושרה זקנים באים בימים חדל להיות לשרה ארח כנשים׃

12 ותצחק שרה בקרבה לאמר אחרי בלתי היתה־לי עדנה ואדני זקן׃

13 ויאמר יהוה אל־אברהם למה זה צחקה שרה לאמר האף אמנם אלד ואני זקנתי׃

14 היפלא מיהוה דבר למועד אשוב אליך כעת חיה ולשרה בן׃

15 ותכחש שרה לאמר לא צחקתי כי יראה ויאמר לא כי צחקת׃

16 ויקמו משם האנשים וישקפו על־פני סדם ואברהם הלך עםם לשלחם׃

17 ויהוה אמר המכסה אני מאברהם אשר אני עשה׃

18 ואברהם היו יהיה לגוי גדול ועצום ונברכו בו כל גויי הארץ׃

19 כי ידעתיו למען אשר יצוה את־בניו ואת־ביתו אחריו ושמרו דרך יהוה לעשות צדקה ומשפט למען הביא יהוה על־אברהם את אשר־דבר עליו׃

20 ויאמר יהוה זעקת סדם ועמרה כי־רבה וחטאתם כי כבדה מאד׃

21 ארדה־נא ואראה הכצעקתה הבאה אלי עשו כלה ואם־לא אדעה׃

22 ויפנו משם האנשים וילכו סדמה ואברהם עודנו עמד לפני יהוה׃

23 ויגש אברהם ויאמר האף תספה צדיק עם־רשע׃

24 אולי יש חמשים צדיקם בתוך העיר האף תספה ולא־תשא למקום למען חמשים הצדיקם אשר בקרבה׃

25 חללה לך מעשת כדבר הזה להמית צדיק עם־רשע והיה כצדיק כרשע חללה לך השפט כל־הארץ לא יעשה משפט׃

26 ויאמר יהוה אם־אמצא בסדם חמשים צדיקם בתוך העיר ונשאתי לכל־המקום בעבורם׃

27 ויען אברהם ויאמר הנה־נא הואלתי לדבר אל־אדני ואנכי עפר ואפר׃

28 אולי יחסרון חמשים הצדיקם חמשה התשחית בחמשה את־כל־העיר ויאמר לא אשחית אם־אמצא שם ארבעים וחמשה׃

29 ויסף עוד לדבר אליו ויאמר אולי ימצאון שם ארבעים ויאמר לא אעשה בעבור הארבעים׃

30 ויאמר אל־נא יחר לאדני ואדברה אולי ימצאון שם שלשים ויאמר לא אעשה אם־אמצא שם שלשים׃

31 ויאמר הנה־נא הואלתי לדבר אל־אדני אולי ימצאון שם עשרים ויאמר לא אשחית בעבור העשרים׃

32 ויאמר אל־נא יחר לאדני ואדברה אך־הפעם אולי ימצאון שם עשרה ויאמר לא אשחית בעבור העשרה׃

33 וילך יהוה כאשר כלה לדבר אל־אברהם ואברהם שב למקמו׃

2245. The men looked forth thence. That this signifies the Lord’s thought from the Divine, is evident from the signification of “looking forth,” as being to think (for to “see,” in the internal sense, as in common discourse, is to understand, since understanding is internal sight, and in the same way to “look forth” is to think, which is of the internal sight, that is, of the understanding); and also from the signification of “the men,” as being the Divine. In this chapter throughout mention is sometimes made of “the men,” and sometimes of “Jehovah” instead of “the men:” when mention is made of “the men” there is signified a Trine, namely, the Divine Itself, the Divine Human, and the Proceeding. The Lord’s thought from this Divine is signified by “the men looked forth thence.” The thought was from the Human conjoined with the Divine, which conjunction was treated of at the beginning of this chapter; but the perception from which came the thought was from the Divine, therefore mention is now made in this same verse of “Jehovah”—that “Abraham was standing before Jehovah;” and when the Human was conjoined with the Divine, there was also together with them the Proceeding.

Genesis 18

勉強

   

1 Yahweh appeared to him by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day.

2 He lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that three men stood opposite him. When he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself to the earth,

3 and said, "My lord, if now I have found favor in your sight, please don't go away from your servant.

4 Now let a little water be fetched, wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

5 I will get a morsel of bread so you can refresh your heart. After that you may go your way, now that you have come to your servant." They said, "Very well, do as you have said."

6 Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly prepare three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes."

7 Abraham ran to the herd, and fetched a tender and good calf, and gave it to the servant. He hurried to dress it.

8 He took butter, milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them. He stood by them under the tree, and they ate.

9 They asked him, "Where is Sarah, your wife?" He said, "See, in the tent."

10 He said, "I will certainly return to you when the season comes round. Behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." Sarah heard in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age. Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.

12 Sarah laughed within herself, saying, "After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

13 Yahweh said to Abraham, "Why did Sarah laugh, saying, 'Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?'

14 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? At the set time I will return to you, when the season comes round, and Sarah will have a son."

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, "I didn't laugh," for she was afraid. He said, "No, but you did laugh."

16 The men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom. Abraham went with them to see them on their way.

17 Yahweh said, "Will I hide from Abraham what I do,

18 since Abraham has surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him?

19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him."

20 Yahweh said, "Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous,

21 I will go down now, and see whether their deeds are as bad as the reports which have come to me. If not, I will know."

22 The men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, but Abraham stood yet before Yahweh.

23 Abraham drew near, and said, "Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?

24 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it?

25 Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn't the Judge of all the earth do right?"

26 Yahweh said, "If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sake."

27 Abraham answered, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord, who am but dust and ashes.

28 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" He said, "I will not destroy it, if I find forty-five there."

29 He spoke to him yet again, and said, "What if there are forty found there?" He said, "I will not do it for the forty's sake."

30 He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak. What if there are thirty found there?" He said, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there."

31 He said, "See now, I have taken it on myself to speak to the Lord. What if there are twenty found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the twenty's sake."

32 He said, "Oh don't let the Lord be angry, and I will speak just once more. What if ten are found there?" He said, "I will not destroy it for the ten's sake."

33 Yahweh went his way, as soon as he had finished communing with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
