创世记 9

1 赐福给挪亚和他的儿子,对他们:你们要生养众多,遍满了

2 上的走兽和空中的飞都必惊恐,惧怕你们,连上一切的昆虫并里一切的鱼都交付你们的

3 凡活着的动物都可以作你们的食物。这一切我都赐你们,如同菜蔬一样。

4 惟独带着血,那就是他的生命,你们不可

5 流你们血、害你们命的,无论是兽是,我必讨他的罪,就是向各的弟兄也是如此。

6 凡流人血的,他的血也必被人所流,因为造人是照自己的形像造的。

7 你们要生养众多,在上昌盛繁茂。

8 晓谕挪亚和他的儿子

9 我与你们和你们的裔立约,

10 并与你们这里的一切活物─就是飞牲畜、走,凡从方舟里出来的活物─立约。

11 我与你们立约,凡有血的,不再被洪水灭绝,也不再有洪水毁坏了。

12 :我与你们并你们这里的各样活物所立的永约是有记号的。

13 我把虹放在彩中,这就可作我与立约的记号了。

14 我使彩盖的时候,必有虹现在彩中,

15 我便记念我与你们和各样有血的活物所立的约,水就再不泛滥、毁坏一切有血的物了。

16 虹必现在彩中,我见,就要记念我与上各样有血的活物所立的永约。

17 对挪亚:这就是我与上一切有血之物立约的记号了。

18 出方舟挪亚的儿子就是、含、雅弗。含是迦南父亲

19 这是挪亚的个儿子,他们的後裔分散在全

20 挪亚作起农夫来,栽了一个葡萄园

21 了园中的酒便了,在帐棚里赤着身子。

22 迦南父亲见他父亲赤身,就到外边告诉他两个弟兄。

23 於是和雅弗拿件衣服搭在肩上,倒退着进去,给他父亲盖上;他们背着脸就不见父亲的赤身。

24 挪亚醒了酒,知道儿子向他所作的事,

25 迦南当受咒诅,必给他弟兄作奴仆的奴仆;

26 耶和华是应当称颂的!愿迦南的奴仆。

27 使雅弗扩张,使他住在的帐棚里;又愿迦南作他的奴仆。

28 洪水以,挪亚又活了五十年。

29 挪亚共活了五十岁就死了

1029. And every wild animal of the earth. That this signifies the lower things of his understanding and those of his will therefrom, is evident also from what has been said and shown before as to the signification of a “wild animal.” For with every man there are things interior and things exterior. The interior are things of reason, here signified by “the fowl” and also affections, signified by the “beast.” The exterior are things of knowledge [scientifica] and pleasures, which are here signified by the “wild animal of the earth.” That by “fowl, beast, and wild animal” is not signified any fowl, beast, or wild animal, but what is living in the regenerate man, anyone may know and conclude from this, that a covenant cannot be made by God with brute animals (yet it is said, “I establish My covenant with every living soul that is with you, the fowl, the beast, and the wild animal of the earth with you”), but with man, who is described by them in this way as to his interiors and exteriors.
