പഠനം

   

1 Und der HERR sprach zu Abram: Gehe aus deinem Vaterland und von deiner Freundschaft und aus deines Vaters Hause in ein Land, das ich dir zeigen will.

2 Und ich will dich zum großen Volk machen und will dich segnen und dir einen großen Namen machen, und sollst ein Segen sein.

3 Ich will segnen, die dich segnen, und verfluchen, die dich verfluchen; und in dir sollen gesegnet werden alle Geschlechter auf Erden.

4 Da zog Abram aus, wie der HERR zu ihm gesagt hatte; und Lot zog mit ihm. Abram aber war fünfundsiebenzig Jahre alt, da er aus Haran zog.

5 Also nahm Abram sein Weib Sarai und Lot, seines Bruders Sohn, mit aller ihrer Habe, die sie gewonnen hatten, und Seelen, die sie gezeuget hatten in Haran, und zogen aus, zu reisen in das Land Kanaan. Und als sie kommen waren in dasselbige Land,

6 zog Abram durch bis an die Stätte Sichem und an den Hain More. Denn es wohneten zu der Zeit die Kanaaniter im Lande.

7 Da erschien der HERR Abram und sprach: Deinem Samen will ich dies Land geben. Und er bauete daselbst dem HERRN einen Altar, der ihm erschienen war.

8 Danach brach er auf von dannen an einen Berg, der lag gegen dem Morgen der Stadt Bethel, und richtete seine Hütte auf, daß er Bethel gegen Abend und Ai gegen dem Morgen hatte, und bauete daselbst dem HERRN einen Altar und predigte von dem Namen des HERRN.

9 Danach wich Abram ferner und zog aus gegen den Mittag.

10 Es kam aber eine Teurung in das Land. Da zog Abram hinab in Ägypten, daß er sich daselbst als ein Fremdling enthielte; denn die Teurung war groß im Lande.

11 Und da er nahe bei Ägypten kam, sprach er zu seinem Weibe Sarai: Siehe, ich weiß, daß du ein schön Weib von Angesicht bist.

12 Wenn dich nun die Ägypter sehen werden, so werden sie sagen: Das ist sein Weib; und sie werden mich erwürgen und dich behalten.

13 Lieber, sage doch, du seiest meine Schwester, auf daß mir's desto baß gehe um deinetwillen, und meine Seele bei dem Leben bleibe um deinetwillen.

14 Als nun Abram nach Ägypten kam, sahen die Ägypter das Weib, daß sie fast schön war.

15 Und die Fürsten des Pharao sahen sie und preiseten sie vor ihm. Da ward sie in des Pharao Haus gebracht.

16 Und er tat Abram Gutes um ihretwillen. Und er hatte Schafe, Rinder, Esel, Knechte und Mägde, Eselinnen und Kamele.

17 Aber der HERR plagte den Pharao mit großen Plagen und sein Haus um Sarais, Abrams Weibes, willen.

18 Da rief Pharao Abram zu sich und sprach zu ihm: Warum hast du mir das getan? Warum sagtest du mir's nicht, daß sie dein Weib wäre?

19 Warum sprachest du denn, sie wäre deine Schwester? derhalben ich sie mir zum Weibe nehme wollte. Und nun siehe, da hast du dein Weib; nimm sie und zeuch hin.

20 Und Pharao befahl seinen Leuten über ihm, daß sie ihn geleiteten und sein Weib und alles, was er hatte.

1429. Abram was a son of five years and seventy years. That this signifies that as yet there was not very much of the Divine, is evident from the signification of the number “five” as being a little, and of the number “seventy” as being what is holy. That “five” denotes a little, has been shown above (n. 649); and also that “seventy,” like “seven,” signifies what is holy (n. 395, 433, 716, 881): here, because “seventy” is a predicated of the Lord, it signifies the holy Divine. That in the internal sense the numbers of Abram’s years also signify other things, is evident from what has been said and shown before concerning years and numbers (n. 482, 487, 493, 575, 647, 648, 755, 813); and also from the fact that there is not a syllable or iota in the Word which has not an internal sense; and unless spiritual and celestial things were involved, it would not have been mentioned that Abram was then five years and seventy years old; neither would this have taken place at this age of Abram; as is evident also from other numbers, both of years and of measures, that occur in the Word.

Arcana Coelestia #880

880. And he stayed yet other seven days. That this signifies the beginning of a second state of regeneration, may be evident from the fact that the time is thus described which intervenes between the first state (described in the eighth and ninth verses (Genesis 8:8-9) and this second state (described here in the tenth and eleventh (Genesis 8:10-11). In order to maintain the historic connection, this intervening time is expressed by his “staying.” How the case is with the second state of regeneration may be seen in some degree from what has been said and shown about the first state, which was that the truths of faith could not yet take root, because falsities hindered. The truths of faith are first rooted when man begins to acknowledge and believe, and they are not rooted before. What man hears from the Word and holds in memory, is only the sowing; the rooting does by no means begin until the man accepts and receives the good of charity. All the truth of faith is rooted by the good of faith, that is, by the good of charity. This is as with seed that is cast into the ground while it is still winter and the ground is cold; there indeed it lies, but does not take root. But as soon as the heat of the sun warms the earth in the time of early spring, the seed begins first to push its root within itself, and afterwards to send it forth into the ground. The case is the same with spiritual seed that is being implanted: this is never rooted until the good of charity as it were warms it; then for the first time it pushes its root within itself, and afterwards sends it forth.

[2] There are three things in man which concur and unite together, namely, the Natural, the Spiritual, and the Celestial. His natural never receives any life except from the spiritual, and the spiritual never except from the celestial, and the celestial from the Lord alone, who is life itself. But in order that a still fuller idea may be gained: the natural is the receptacle that receives the spiritual, or is the vessel into which the spiritual is poured; and the spiritual is the receptacle which receives, or is the vessel into which is poured, the celestial. Thus, through things celestial, life comes from the Lord. Such is the influx. The celestial is all the good of faith; in the spiritual man it is the good of charity. The spiritual is truth, which never becomes the truth of faith unless there is in it the good of faith, that is, the good of charity, in which there is life itself from the Lord. That a yet clearer idea may be gained: man’s natural is what does the Work of Charity, by hand or by mouth, and thus by the organs of the body; but this work in itself is dead, and does not live except from the spiritual that is in it; and the spiritual does not live except from the celestial, which lives from the Lord. From this the work is said to be good, since there is nothing good except from the Lord.

[3] This being the case, it must be evident to everyone that in every work of charity the work itself is nothing but a material affair, and that the work is living is attributable to the truth of faith that is in it; and further that neither is the truth of faith anything but an inanimate affair, and that the truth of faith is living is attributable to the good of faith; moreover that the good of faith is not living except from the Lord only, who is Good itself and Life itself. This shows why the celestial angels are unwilling to hear about faith, and are still more unwilling to hear about work (see n. 202). For the celestial angels ascribe to love both the faith and the work, making faith to be from love, and making even the work of faith to be from love, so that with them both the work and the faith vanish, and there remains nothing but love and its derivative good, and within their love is the Lord. In consequence of having ideas so heavenly these angels are distinct from those angels who are called spiritual, their very thought (together with the speech that is derived from this thought) being much more incomprehensible than are the thought and the speech of the spiritual angels.
