1 Så drog Abraham derfra til sydlandet og bodde mellem Kades og Sur, og siden opholdt han sig en tid i Gerar.

2 Og Abraham sa om Sara, sin hustru: Hun er min søster. Da sendte Abimelek, kongen i Gerar, folk avsted og tok Sara.

3 Men Gud kom til Abimelek i en drøm om natten og sa til ham: Nu skal du for den kvinnes skyld som du har tatt; for hun er en annen manns hustru.

4 Men Abimelek hadde ikke kommet henne nær, og han sa: Herre, vil du da også slå rettferdige folk ihjel?

5 Har han ikke selv sagt til mig: Hun er min søster? Og hun har også sagt: Han er min bror. I mitt hjertes uskyldighet og med rene hender har jeg gjort dette.

6 Og Gud sa til ham i drømmen: Ja, jeg vet at du har gjort dette i ditt hjertes uskyldighet, og jeg har også hindret dig fra å synde mot mig; derfor har jeg ikke latt dig få røre henne.

7 Men la nu mannen få sin hustru tilbake! For han er en profet. Og han skal bede for dig, så du får leve. Men dersom du ikke gir henne tilbake, da vit at du visselig skal , du og alle dine.

8 Da stod Abimelek tidlig op om i morgenen og kalte på alle sine tjenere og fortalte dem alt dette, og mennene blev meget redde.

9 Og Abimelek kalte Abraham til sig og sa til ham: Hvad er det du har gjort mot oss! Hvad har jeg syndet mot dig, siden du har ført så stor en synd over mig og mitt rike? Du har båret dig slik at mot mig som ingen skulde gjøre.

10 Og Abimelek sa videre til Abraham: Hvad mente du med å gjøre dette?

11 Da sa Abraham: Jeg tenkte: Det er visst ingen gudsfrykt på dette sted, og de vil slå mig ihjel for min hustrus skyld.

12 Hun er også virkelig min søster, min fars datter, men ikke min mors datter; og hun blev min hustru.

13 Og da Gud bød mig å vandre om borte fra min fars hus, sa jeg til henne: Således må du vise din kjærlighet mot mig: Hvor vi så kommer, må du si om mig: Han er min bror.

14 Så tok Abimelek småfe og storfe og træler og trælkvinner og gav Abraham og lot ham få Sara, sin hustru, tilbake.

15 Og Abimelek sa: Se, mitt land ligger åpent for dig; bo hvor du selv vil!

16 Og til Sara sa han: Se, her gir jeg din bror tusen sekel sølv; det skal være en sonegave for dig i alles øine som er sammen med dig, og for alle har du nu fått opreisning.

17 Og Abraham bad til Gud, og Gud helbredet Abimelek og hans hustru og hans tjenestekvinner, så de fikk barn.

18 For Herren hadde aldeles lukket for hvert morsliv i Abimeleks hus for Abrahams hustru Saras skyld.

2524. And she herself also said, He is my brother. That this signifies that the rational itself dictated that celestial good should be adjoined to it, is evident from the signification of a “sister” (here meant by “she herself”) as being the rational (n. 1495, 2508); and from the signification of a “brother,” as being the good of truth (n. 367, 2508). For the case herein is as follows: Divine good and Divine truth are united to each other as if by marriage; for thence comes the heavenly marriage, and thence comes marriage love also, even down to lower nature. But the good and truth of the rational are not conjoined with each other as by marriage, but by consanguinity, like brother and sister; since the rational as to truth is conceived from the influx of Divine good into the affection of knowledges [scientiarum et cognitionum] (see n. 1895, 1902, 1910); and the good of the rational, through the influx of Divine good into that truth, which then becomes the good itself of charity, which is the “brother” of faith, or what is the same, of truth (n. 367)

[2] But in regard to the good and truth of the rational, the procuring of this takes place in such a way that its good is from Divine good, whereas its truth is not from Divine truth; for the truth of the rational is procured by means of knowledges [scientias et cognitiones], which are insinuated through the external and internal senses, thus by an external way. Hence it is that there adhere to its truths many fallacies from the senses, which cause the truths not to be truths; nevertheless when Divine good flows into them, and conceives them, they then appear as truths, and are acknowledged as truths, although they are nothing but appearances of truth. The good itself is then modified in these truths according to the shades there, and becomes in quality like the truth. This is one arcanum which lies hidden in these words, that the rational thus dictated that celestial good should be adjoined to it.

367. It is unnecessary to confirm these things by similar passages from the Word, except so far as to prove that charity is the “brother” of faith, and that a “field” signifies whatever is of doctrine. That charity is the “brother” of faith is evident to everyone from the nature or essence of faith. This brotherhood was represented by Esau and Jacob, and was the ground of their dispute about the birthright and the consequent dominion. It was also represented by Pharez and Zarah, the sons of Tamar by Judah (Genesis 38:28-29, 30); and by Ephraim and Manasseh (Genesis 48:13-14); and in both of these, as well as in other similar cases, there is a dispute about the primogeniture and the consequent dominion. For both faith and charity are the offspring of the church. Faith is called a “man” as was Cain, in verse 1 of this chapter, and charity is called a “brother” as in Isaiah 19:2; Jeremiah 13:14 and other places. The union of faith and charity is called “the covenant of brethren” (Amos 1:9). Similar to the signification of Cain and Abel, was that of Jacob and Esau, as just said; in that Jacob also was desirous of supplanting his brother Esau, as is evident also in Hosea:

To visit upon Jacob his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him; he supplanted his brother in the womb (Hosea 12:2-3).

But that Esau, or the charity represented by Esau, should nevertheless at length have the dominion, appears from the prophetic prediction of their father Isaac:

By thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass, when thou hast the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck (Genesis 27:40).Or what is the same, the Church of the Gentiles, or new church, is represented by Esau, and the Jewish Church is represented by Jacob; and this is the reason for its being so often said that the Jews should acknowledge the Gentiles as brethren; and in the Church of the Gentiles, or primitive church, all were called brethren, from charity. Such as hear the Word and do it are likewise called brethren by the Lord (Luke 8:21); those who hear are such as have faith; those who do are such as have charity; but those who hear, or say that they have faith, and do not, or have not charity, are not brethren, for the Lord likens them unto fools (Matthew 7:24, 26).
