1369. 创世记 11:29. 亚伯兰, 拿鹤各娶了妻; 亚伯兰的妻子名叫撒莱; 拿鹤的妻子名叫密迦, 是哈兰的女儿, 哈兰是密迦的父亲和亦迦的父亲.

“亚伯兰, 拿鹤各娶了妻; 亚伯兰的妻子名叫撒莱; 拿鹤的妻子名叫密迦, 是哈兰的女儿, 哈兰是密迦的父亲和亦迦的父亲” 表偶像崇拜中邪恶与虚假的苟合, 它们就具有此处所表明的这种关系. 丈夫表邪恶, 妻子表虚假.

Commentary

 

Flesh and spirit

  

Flesh signifies man, and spirit signifies the influx of truth and goodness from the Lord, as in Joel 2:28. In Isaiah 31:3, flesh signifies what is man's own, and spirit life from the Lord. To eat the flesh of another signifies to destroy his proprium.

(References: Apocalypse Explained 654; Joel 2)
