1 وقال الرب لنوح ادخل انت وجميع بيتك الى الفلك. لاني اياك رأيت بارا لديّ في هذا الجيل.

2 من جميع البهائم الطاهرة تأخذ معك سبعة سبعة ذكرا وانثى. ومن البهائم التي ليست بطاهرة اثنين ذكرا وانثى.

3 ومن طيور السماء ايضا سبعة سبعة ذكرا وانثى. لاستبقاء نسل على وجه كل الارض.

4 لاني بعد سبعة ايام ايضا امطر على الارض اربعين يوما واربعين ليلة. وامحو عن وجه الارض كل قائم عملته.

5 ففعل نوح حسب كل ما امره به الرب

6 ولما كان نوح ابن ست مئة سنة صار طوفان الماء على الارض.

7 فدخل نوح وبنوه وامرأته ونساء بنيه معه الى الفلك من وجه مياه الطوفان.

8 ومن البهائم الطاهرة والبهائم التي ليست بطاهرة ومن الطيور وكل ما يدبّ على الارض

9 دخل اثنان اثنان الى نوح الى الفلك ذكرا وانثى. كما امر الله نوحا

10 وحدث بعد السبعة الايام ان مياه الطوفان صارت على الارض.

11 في سنة ست مئة من حياة نوح في الشهر الثاني في اليوم السابع عشر من الشهر في ذلك اليوم انفجرت كل ينابيع الغمر العظيم وانفتحت طاقات السماء.

12 وكان المطر على الارض اربعين يوما واربعين ليلة.

13 في ذلك اليوم عينه دخل نوح وسام وحام ويافث بنو نوح وامرأة نوح وثلث نساء بنيه معهم الى الفلك.

14 هم وكل الوحوش كاجناسها وكل البهائم كاجناسها وكل الدبابات التي تدب على الارض كاجناسها وكل الطيور كاجناسها كل عصفور كل ذي جناح.

15 ودخلت الى نوح الى الفلك اثنين اثنين من كل جسد فيه روح حياة.

16 والداخلات دخلت ذكرا وانثى من كل ذي جسد كما امره الله. واغلق الرب عليه

17 وكان الطوفان اربعين يوما على الارض. وتكاثرت المياه ورفعت الفلك. فارتفع عن الارض.

18 وتعاظمت المياه وتكاثرت جدا على الارض. فكان الفلك يسير على وجه المياه.

19 وتعاظمت المياه كثيرا جدا على الارض. فتغطت جميع الجبال الشامخة التي تحت كل السماء.

20 خمس عشرة ذراعا في الارتفاع تعاظمت المياه. فتغطت الجبال.

21 فمات كل ذي جسد كان يدبّ على الارض. من الطيور والبهائم والوحوش وكل الزحّافات التي كانت تزحف على الارض وجميع الناس.

22 كل ما في انفه نسمة روح حياة من كل ما في اليابسة مات.

23 فمحا الله كل قائم كان على وجه الارض. الناس والبهائم والدبّابات وطيور السماء. فانمحت من الارض. وتبقّى نوح والذين معه في الفلك فقط.

24 وتعاظمت المياه على الارض مئة وخمسين يوما

735. The reason why temptation as to things of the understanding, or as to the falsities in a man, is light, is that man is in the fallacies of the senses, and the fallacies of the senses are such that they cannot but enter, and are therefore also easily dispelled. Thus it is with all who abide in the sense of the letter of the Word where it speaks according to the apprehension of man, and therefore according to the fallacies of his senses. If they simply have faith in these things because it is the Word of the Lord, then notwithstanding their being in fallacies they easily suffer themselves to be instructed. As for example: a man who believes that the Lord is angry and punishes and does evil to the wicked, as he has derived this belief from the sense of the letter, he can easily be informed what the real truth is. And so if one simply believes that he can do good of himself, and that if of himself he is good he will receive reward in the other life, he also can easily be instructed that the good which he does is from the Lord, and the Lord in His mercy gives the reward gratuitously. And therefore when such come into temptation as to matters of the understanding, or as to such fallacies, they can be only lightly tempted. And this is the first temptation-and it hardly appears as temptation-which is now treated of. But it is otherwise with those who do not in simplicity of heart believe the Word, but confirm themselves in fallacies and falsities because they favor their cupidities; and who being impelled by this motive bring together many reasonings from themselves and their memory-knowledges [scientificis], and afterwards confirm the same by the Word, and thus impress upon themselves, and persuade themselves, that what is false is true.

Genesis 7

Study

   

1 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

8 Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

10 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

12 The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

19 The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
