1 Näiden tapausten jälkeen tuli Abramille näyssä tämä Herran sana: "Älä pelkää, Abram! Minä olen sinun kilpesi; sinun palkkasi on oleva sangen suuri."

2 Mutta Abram sanoi: "Oi Herra, Herra, mitä sinä minulle annat? Minä lähden täältä lapsetonna, ja omaisuuteni haltijaksi tulee damaskolainen mies, Elieser."

3 Ja Abram sanoi vielä: "Sinä et ole antanut minulle jälkeläistä; katso, talossani syntynyt palvelija on minut perivä".

4 Mutta katso, hänelle tuli tämä Herran sana: "Hän ei ole sinua perivä, vaan joka lähtee sinun omasta ruumiistasi, hän on sinut perivä".

5 Ja hän vei hänet ulos ja sanoi: "Katso taivaalle ja lue tähdet, jos ne taidat lukea". Ja hän sanoi hänelle: "Niin paljon on sinulla oleva jälkeläisiä".

6 Ja Abram uskoi Herraan, ja Herra luki sen hänelle vanhurskaudeksi.

7 Ja hän sanoi hänelle: "Minä olen Herra, joka toin sinut Kaldean Uurista, antaakseni sinulle tämän maan omaksesi".

8 Mutta hän sanoi: "Oi Herra, Herra, mistä minä tiedän, että saan sen omakseni?"

9 Ja hän sanoi hänelle: "Tuo minulle kolmivuotias hieho, kolmivuotias vuohi ja kolmivuotias oinas sekä metsäkyyhkynen ja nuori kyyhkynen".

10 Ja hän toi nämä kaikki ja halkaisi ne ja asetti puolikkaat vastakkain; lintuja hän ei kuitenkaan halkaissut.

11 Niin laskeutui petolintuja ruumiiden päälle, mutta Abram karkoitti ne pois.

12 Kun aurinko oli laskemaisillaan, valtasi raskas uni Abramin, ja katso, kauhu ja suuri pimeys valtasi hänet.

13 Ja Herra sanoi Abramille: "Niin tiedä totisesti, että sinun jälkeläisesi tulevat elämään muukalaisina maassa, joka ei ole heidän omansa, ja heidän on niitä palveleminen, ja ne sortavat heitä neljäsataa vuotta.

14 Mutta myös sen kansan, jota he palvelevat, minä tuomitsen; ja sitten he pääsevät lähtemään, mukanaan paljon tavaraa.

15 Mutta sinä saat mennä isiesi tykö rauhassa, ja sinut haudataan päästyäsi korkeaan ikään.

16 Ja neljännessä polvessa sinun jälkeläisesi palaavat tänne takaisin; sillä amorilaisten syntivelka ei ole vielä täysi."

17 Ja kun aurinko oli laskenut ja oli tullut pilkkopimeä, näkyi suitsuava pätsi ja liekehtivä tuli, joka liikkui uhrikappaleiden välissä.

18 Sinä päivänä Herra teki Abramin kanssa liiton, sanoen: "Sinun jälkeläisillesi minä annan tämän maan, Egyptin virrasta aina suureen virtaan, Eufrat-virtaan saakka:

19 keeniläiset, kenissiläiset, kadmonilaiset,

20 heettiläiset, perissiläiset, refalaiset,

21 amorilaiset, kanaanilaiset, girgasilaiset ja jebusilaiset".

1853. That 'you will come to your fathers in peace' means that nothing of the goods and truths will suffer harm becomes clear from the meaning of 'fathers', also of 'coming to one's fathers', as well as of 'peace'. In the internal sense 'fathers' here has the same meaning as daughters and sons taken together. That 'daughters' means goods and 'sons' truths has been shown already in 489-491, 533, 1147, and therefore 'fathers' means those things meant by daughters and sons together. 'Coming to one's fathers' is passing over from the life of the body into the life of the spirit, or from the world into the next life. 'In peace' means that he will have lost nothing, and thus that nothing will suffer harm, for when a person passes into the next life he does not lose any of the things that he possesses as man. He retains and has with him every single thing except the body which has hampered the interior exercise of his capabilities. The fact that here, not death, or passing over to one's fathers, is meant by death, becomes clear from what follows immediately below.

489. 'Sons and daughters' means the truths and goods which they perceived, 'sons to be exact meaning the truths and 'daughters' the goods. This becomes clear from very many places in the Prophets. For in the Word, as happened in earliest times, conceptions and births of the Church are called 'sons and daughters', as in Isaiah,

Nations will walk to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about and see; they all gather and they come towards you. Your sons will come from far, and your daughters will be nursed at your side. Then you will see and abound, and your heart will be astounded and enlarged. Isaiah 60:3-5.

Here 'sons' stands for truths and 'daughters' for goods.

In David,

Rescue me and snatch me from the hand of sons of the foreigner, whose mouths speak lies. Our sons are like plants made large in their youth, our daughters like corner-pillars cut in the form of the temple. Psalms 144:11-12.

'Sons of the foreigner' stands for spurious truths, which are falsities, 'our sons' for matters of doctrine concerning truth, and 'daughters' for matters of doctrine concerning good.

In Isaiah,

I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Do not withhold. Bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the end of the earth. Bring forth the blind people, and they will have eyes, and the deaf, who will have ears. Isaiah 43:6, 8.

Here 'sons' stands for truths, 'daughters' for goods, 'the blind' for people who will see truths, and 'the deaf' for those who comply with them.

In Jeremiah,

From our youth shame is devouring the work of our fathers - their flocks, their herds, their sons, and their daughters. Jeremiah 3:24.

Here 'sons and daughters' stands for truths and goods.

[2] 'Male children' and 'sons' stand for truths in the following in Isaiah,

Jacob will no more be ashamed, and no more will his face grow pale. For when he sees his male children, the work of My hands, in his midst they will sanctify My name, and they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob and stand in awe of the God of Israel. Those who err in spirit will know understanding Isaiah 29:12-24.

'The Holy One of Jacob, the God of Israel' stands for the Lord, 'male children' for regenerate people who have an understanding of good and truth, as is also explicitly stated.

In the same prophet,

Sing, O barren one, who did not bear, for the sons of her that is desolate are more than the sons of her that is married. Isaiah 54:1

'The sons of her that is desolate' stands for truths of the Primitive Church, or Church among gentiles, while 'the sons of her that is married' stands for truths of the Jewish Church.

In Jeremiah,

My tent has been laid waste, and all My cords torn away; My sons have gone away from Me, and they are not. Jeremiah 10:20.

'Sons' stands for truths.

In the same prophet,

Their sons will be as they were of old, and their congregation will be established before Me. Jeremiah 30:10

Here 'sons' stands for the truths of the Ancient Church.

In Zechariah,

I will rouse your sons, O Zion, together with your sons, O Jehovah, and I will set you as the sword of one who is powerful. Zechariah 9:13.

Here 'sons' stands for truths of faith inherent in love.
