Бытие 13

勉強

   

1 И вышелъ Аврамъ изъ Египта, самъ, и жена его, и все, что у него было, и Лотъ съ нимъ, въ полуденный край.

2 И былъ Аврамъ очень богатъ скотомъ, и серебромъ, и золотомъ.

3 И продолжалъ онъ переходы свои отъ полуденнаго края до Веѕиля, до мјста, гдј прежде былъ шатеръ его, между Веѕилемъ и между Гаемъ,

4 до мјста жертвенника, который онъ создалъ тамъ въ началј; и тамъ призвалъ Аврамъ имя Іеговы.

5 И у Лота, который ходилъ съ Аврамомъ, былъ мелкій и крупный скотъ и шатры.

6 И земля не позволяла имъ жить вмјстј: поелику богатство ихъ было такъ велико, что они не могли жить вмјстј.

7 Между пастухами скота Аврамова и между пастухами скота Лотова произошло несогласіе; притомъ Хананеи и Ферезеи жили тогда въ землј сей.

8 И потому Аврамъ сказалъ Лоту: да не будетъ раздора между мною и тобою, и между пастухами моими и пастухами твоими; ибо мы родственники.

9 Не вся ли земля предъ тобою? прошу, отдјлись отъ меня. Если ты на лјво, то я на право; а если ты на право, то я на лјво.

10 Лотъ возвелъ очи свои и увидјлъ равнину Іорданскую, которая прежде, нежели истребилъ Іегова Содомъ и Гоморръ, вся, какъ садъ Іеговы, какъ земля Египетская, орошалась водою даже до Цоара.

11 И избралъ себј Лотъ всю равнину Іорданскую; и двигнулся Лотъ къ востоку. Такъ разлучились они другъ съ другомъ.

12 Аврамъ сталъ жить на землј Ханаанской: а Лотъ сталъ жить въ городахъ равнины, и доходилъ съ шатрами до Содома.

13 Жители же Содомскіе были злы и весьма грјшны предъ Іеговою.

14 Между тјмъ Авраму, послј того, какъ Лоть отдјлился отъ него, Іегова сказалъ: возведи очи твои, и съ мјста, на которомъ ты теперь, посмотри къ сјверу, и къ югу, и къ востоку, и къ западу.

15 Ибо всю землю, которую ты видишь, тебј дамъ Я и потомству твоему навсегда,

16 И дамъ тебј потомство, какъ песокъ земный; если возможно кому счесть песокъ земный, то и потомство твое сочтено будетъ.

17 Встань, пройди по землј сей въ долготу и въ широту ея: ибо Я тебј дамъ ее.

18 Итакъ Аврамъ двигнулъ шатеръ, и пошелъ, и поселился у дубравы Мамре, что у Хеврона; и создалъ тамъ жертвенникъ Іеговј.

1736. That the Lord is Jehovah, who is here called “God Most High,” is plainly evident from the Word.

In Isaiah:

Jehovah Zebaoth is His name, and thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth is He called (Isaiah 54:5); where it is plain that the Redeemer and the Holy One of Israel, who is the Lord alone, is “Jehovah Zebaoth” and “the God of the whole earth.” Again:

Thus said Jehovah thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah thy God (Isaiah 48:17).

Again:

I do help thee, saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 41:14).

The expressions “the Holy One of Israel,” and “the God of Israel” occur many times. That the Lord is the Holy One of Israel and the God of Israel is clearly evident in that:

They saw the God of Israel, and there was under His feet as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as it were the substance of heaven for clearness (Exodus 24:10).

[2] No other was acknowledged and called Jehovah by the Jewish Church, for it worshiped the one God Jehovah, and this was the more fully the case for the reason-which was unknown to most of them-that all the rites of that church represented the Lord, and all the things of the Word in the internal sense were significative of Him.

In Isaiah:

He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovih will wipe away the tear from off all faces. And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us; this is Jehovah, we have waited for Him; let us exult and be glad in his salvation (Isaiah 25:8-9);

treating of the coming of the Lord.

[3] In the same:

Behold the Lord Jehovih will come in strength, and His arm shall rule for Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the little lambs in His arm, He shall carry them in His bosom, He shall lead the sucklings (Isaiah 40:10-11).

Here the Lord is plainly spoken of, who is “the Lord Jehovih.” That He “shall come in strength,” and “His arm rule for Him,” signifies that He would conquer the hells by His own power; to “feed His flock, gather the little lambs in His arm, carry them in His bosom, and lead the sucklings,” are predicated of His love or mercy.

[4] Again:

Thus said Jehovah that created the heavens, God Himself that formed the earth and made it, He established it, He created it not an emptiness, He formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is none else. Am not I Jehovah, and there is no God else besides Me? a just God, and a Saviour, there is none besides Me. Look unto Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else (Isaiah 45:18, 21-22).

Here the Lord is manifestly spoken of as being alone Jehovah and God. That to “create the heavens and form the earth” is to regenerate, thus that the Creator of heaven and earth is the Regenerator, may be seen above at n. 16, 88, 472, and elsewhere; and therefore the Lord is often called the Creator, Former, and Maker.

[5] Again:

Thou art our Father, for Abraham knoweth us not, and Israel doth not acknowledge us. Thou, O Jehovah, art our Father, our Redeemer, Thy name is from everlasting (Isaiah 63:16).

Here the Lord is plainly meant, who alone is the “Redeemer.”

In Moses:

Take heed of His face, and hear His voice, provoke Him not, for He will not bear your transgression, for My name is in the midst of Him (Exodus 23:21). That “name” means essence, see above (n. 144, 145); and “in the midst” means the inmost (n. 1074).

[6] In Isaiah:

Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, God, Hero, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6),

plainly said of the Lord.

In Jeremiah:

Behold the days come that I will raise unto David a righteous offshoot, and He shall reign a King, and shall act intelligently, and shall do judgment and justice in the earth; in His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell in confidence; and this is His name whereby they shall call Him, Jehovah our Righteousness (Jeremiah 23:5-6),

plainly meaning the Lord.

In Zechariah:

Jehovah shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one Jehovah, and His name one (Zech. 14:9),

plainly speaking of the Lord. The “name” denotes the essence.
