创世记 2

1 万物都造齐了。

2 第七日,造物的工已经完毕,就在第七日歇了他一切的工,安息了。

3 赐福给第七日,定为日;因为在这日,歇了他一切创造的工,就安息了。

4 创造的来历,在耶和华的日子,乃是这样,

5 还没有木,田间的菜蔬还没有长起来;因为耶和华还没有降上,也没有人耕

6 但有雾气从上腾,滋润遍

7 耶和华用地上的尘土造人,将生气吹在他鼻孔里,他就成了有灵的活人,名叫亚当。

8 耶和华在东方的伊甸立了一个园子,把所造的人安置在那里。

9 耶和华使各样的从地里长出来,可以悦人的眼目,其上的果子作食物。园子当中又有生命和分别善恶的

10 从伊甸流出来,滋润那园子,从那里分为道:

11 道名叫比逊,就是环绕哈腓拉全的。在那里有子,

12 并且那子是的;在那里又有珍珠和红玛瑙。

13 第二道名叫基训,就是环绕古实全的。

14 第三名叫底格里斯,流在亚述的东边。第四就是伯拉

15 耶和华将那人安置在伊甸园,使他修理,看守。

16 耶和华吩咐他说:园中各样上的果子,你可以随意

17 只是分别善恶上的果子,你不可,因为你的日子必定

18 耶和华:那人独居不,我要为他造一个配偶帮助他。

19 耶和华用土所造成的野地各样走兽和空中各样飞到那人面前,甚麽。那人怎样各样的活物,那就是他的名字

20 那人便给一切牲畜和空中飞、野地走都起了名;只是那人没有遇见配偶帮助他。

21 耶和华使他沉睡,他就睡了;於是取下他的肋骨,又把合起来。

22 耶和华就用那人身上所取的肋骨造成一个女人,领他到那人跟前。

23 :这是我中的中的,可以称他为女人,因为他是从男人身上取出来的。

24 因此,要离开父母,与妻子连合,二成为体。

25 当时夫妻人赤身露体,并不羞耻。

Arcana Coelestia #109

Study this Passage

  
/ 10837  
  

109. That although wisdom and intelligence appear in man, they are, as has been said, of the Lord alone, is plainly declared in Ezekiel by means of similar representatives:

Behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward; for the face of the house is the east; and he said, These waters issue out to the border toward the east, and go down into the plain, and come to the sea, which being led into the sea, the waters shall be healed; and it shall come to pass that every living soul which creepeth, whithersoever the water of the rivers shall come, shall live. And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, there come up all trees for food, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed; it is born again in its months, because these its waters issue out of the sanctuary, and the fruit thereof shall be for food, and the leaf thereof for medicine (Ezekiel 47:1, 8-9, 12).

Here the Lord is signified by the “east” and by the “sanctuary” whence the waters and rivers issued. In like manner in John:

He showed me a pure river of water of life, bright as crystal, going forth out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street thereof, and of the river on this side and that, was the tree of life, which bare twelve [manner of] fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; and the leaf of the tree was for the healing of the nations (Revelation 22:1-2).
