Esekiel 14:22

Study

       

22 Allikevel skal nogen undkomme og bli igjen der, nogen sønner og døtre, som blir bortført, og de skal da komme ut til eder, og I skal se deres ferd og deres gjerninger, og I skal trøste eder over den ulykke jeg lot komme over Jerusalem, over alt det jeg lot komme over det.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Nine Questions #9

9. QUESTION 9.

If there was no man named Noah, why is it said in Ezekiel 14:14, 'Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job...'? I am not much bothered by these details, Mr. Hartley says, but I should like to put the question.

ANSWER

Noah is named in Ezekiel 14:14 because of his having been named in Genesis, and the meaning is therefore the same in the prophet as it is in Moses. This man with his three sons was significative of the subsequent church. See the discussion of this subject in the ARCANA COELESTIA.
