പഠനം

   

1 Posle mu se javi Gospod u ravnici mamrijskoj kad seđaše na vratima pred šatorom svojim u podne.

2 Podigavši oči svoje pogleda, i gle, tri čoveka stajahu prema njemu. I ugledavši ih potrča im u susret ispred vrata šatora svog, i pokloni se do zemlje;

3 I reče: Gospode, ako sam našao milost pred Tobom, nemoj proći sluge svog.

4 Da vam donesem malo vode i operite noge, te se naslonite malo pod ovim drvetom.

5 I izneću malo hleba, te potkrepite srce svoje, pa onda pođite, kad idete pored sluge svog. I rekoše: Učini šta si kazao.

6 I Avram otrča u šator k Sari, i reče: Brže zamesi tri kopanje belog brašna i ispeci pogače.

7 Pa otrča ka govedima i uhvati tele mlado i dobro, i dade ga momku da ga brže zgotovi.

8 Pa onda iznese masla i mleka i tele koje beše zgotovio, i postavi im, a sam stajaše pred njima pod drvetom dokle jeđahu.

9 I oni mu rekoše: Gde je Sara žena tvoja? A on reče: Eno je pod šatorom.

10 A jedan između njih reče: Dogodine u ovo doba opet ću doći k tebi, a Sara će žena tvoja imati sina. A Sara slušaše na vratima od šatora iza njega.

11 A Avram i Sara behu stari i vremeniti, i u Sare beše prestalo šta biva u žena.

12 Zato se nasmeja Sara u sebi govoreći: Pošto sam ostarela, sad li će mi doći radost? A i gospodar mi je star.

13 Tada reče Gospod Avramu: Što se smeje Sara govoreći: Istina li je da ću roditi kad sam ostarela?

14 Ima li šta teško Gospodu? Dogodine u ovo doba opet ću doći k tebi, a Sara će imati sina.

15 A Sara udari u bah govoreći: Nisam se smejala. Jer se uplaši. Ali On reče: Nije istina, nego si se smejala.

16 Potom ustaše ljudi odande, i pođoše put Sodoma; a Avram pođe s njima da ih isprati.

17 A Gospod reče: Kako bih tajio od Avrama šta ću učiniti,

18 Kad će od Avrama postati velik i silan narod, i u njemu će se blagosloviti svi narodi na zemlji?

19 Jer znam da će zapovediti sinovima svojim i domu svom nakon sebe da se drže puteva Gospodnjih i da čine što je pravo i dobro, da bi Gospod navršio na Avramu šta mu je obećao.

20 I reče Gospod: Vika je u Sodomu i Gomoru velika, i greh je njihov grdan.

21 Zato ću sići da vidim eda li sve čine kao što vika dođe preda me; ako li nije tako, da znam.

22 I ljudi okrenuvši se pođoše put Sodoma; ali Avram još stajaše pred Gospodom,

23 I pristupiv Avram reče: Hoćeš li pogubiti i pravednog s nepravednim?

24 Može biti da ima pedeset pravednika u gradu; hoćeš li i njih pogubiti, i nećeš oprostiti mestu za onih pedeset pravednika što su u njemu?

25 Nemoj to činiti, ni gubiti pravednika s nepravednikom, da bude pravedniku kao i nepravedniku; nemoj; eda li sudija cele zemlje neće suditi pravo?

26 I reče Gospod: Ako nađem u Sodomu pedeset pravednika u gradu, oprostiću celom mestu njih radi.

27 A Avram odgovori i reče: Gle, sada bih progovorio Gospodu, ako i jesam prah i pepeo.

28 Može biti pravednika pedeset manje pet, hoćeš li za onih pet potrti sav grad? Odgovori: Neću, ako nađem četrdeset i pet.

29 I stade dalje govoriti, i reče: Može biti da će se naći četrdeset. Reče: Neću radi onih četrdeset.

30 Potom reče: Nemoj se gneviti, Gospode, što ću reći; može biti da će se naći trideset. I reče: Neću, ako nađem trideset.

31 Opet reče: Gle sada bih progovorio Gospodu; može biti da će se naći dvadeset. Reče: Neću ih pogubiti za onih dvadeset.

32 Najposle reče: Nemoj se gneviti, Gospode, što ću još jednom progovoriti; može biti da će se naći deset. Reče: Neću ih pogubiti radi onih deset.

33 I Gospod otide svršivši razgovor sa Avramom; a Avram se vrati na svoje mesto.

2062. 'Sarai your wife' means truth joined to good. This is clear from the meaning of 'Sarai' as intellectual truth, and because the word 'wife' is added here, as that truth joined to good. That 'Sarai' and 'Sarai his wife' mean truth joined to good has been shown already in 1468, 1901, and frequently elsewhere.

1901. 'Perhaps I shall be built up from her' means the possibility of the rational being born in that way. This becomes clear from the meaning, when it has reference to human generation, of 'being built up', and so needs no further explanation. 'Sarai', as stated, means intellectual truth which has been allied as a wife to good. Intellectual truth which resides inmostly is totally lacking in offspring or is like a childless wife, 1 if there is not as yet any rational into which and through which it may flow, for without the rational as a go-between it cannot flow with any truth at all into the exterior man, as becomes clear in the case of small children. The latter can have no knowledge at all of truth until cognitions have been bestowed on them; but as has been stated the better and more perfectly they have cognitions bestowed on them, the better and more perfectly can intellectual truth which resides inmostly, that is, within good, be communicated.

[2] This intellectual truth represented by Sarai is the spiritual itself which flows in by way of heaven, and so by an internal route. It resides in everyone and is continually coming to meet the cognitions that are introduced by means of perceptions gained by the senses and implanted in the memory. No one is conscious of that intellectual truth within himself as it is too pure to be perceived by a general idea. It is like a kind of light which enlightens the mind and imparts the ability to know, think, and understand. Since the rational cannot come into being except also by means of the influx of intellectual truth, represented by Sarai, it inevitably exists in relation to that truth as its son. When the rational is formed from truths that have been allied to goods, more so when it is formed from goods from which truths derive, it is a true son. Previous to that also it is recognized as a son, yet not as a true son but as one born from a servant-girl. All the same, it is adopted as such, and for the reason here stated, that it was 'to be built up from her'.
