7 Сыны Хуша: Сева, Хавила, Савта, Раама и Савтеха, а сыны Раамы Шева и Деданъ.

8 Хушъ родилъ также Нимрода: сей началъ быть силенъ на землј.

9 Онъ былъ силснъ звјроловствомъ предъ Іеговою; потому п говорится: силенъ звјроловствомъ, какъ Нимродъ предъ Іеговою.

10 Царство его въ началј составляли: Вавилонъ, Эрехъ, Аккадъ и Халне, въ землј Сеннааръ.

11 Изъ сей земли вышелъ Ассуръ и построилъ Ниневію, Реховоѕиръ, Калахъ,

12 и Ресенъ между Ниневію и Калахомъ, городъ великій.

13 Отъ Мицраима произошли Лудимъ, Анамимъ, Легавимъ, Нафтухимъ,

16 Іевусей, Аморрей, Гергесей,

17 Евей, Аркей, Синей,

18 Арвадей, Цемарей и Емаѕей. Въ послјдствіи времени племена Ханаанскія разсјялись.

19 И простирался предјлъ Хананеевъ отъ Сидона къ Герару до Газы, отсюда къ Содому, Гомору, Адмј и Цевоиму до Лаши.

20 Сіи суть сыны Хамовы, по племенамъ ихъ, по языкамъ ихъ въ земляхъ ихъ, въ народахъ ихъ.

24 Арфаксадъ родилъ Салу, Сала родилъ Евера.

25 У Евера родились два сына: имя одному Фалекъ, потому что во дни его земля раздјлена; имя брату его Іоктанъ.

26 Отъ Іоктана родились: Алмодадъ, Шалефъ, Хоцармоветъ, Іерахъ,

27 Гадорамъ, Узалъ, Дикла,

30 Поселенія ихъ простираются отъ Меши до Сефара, горы восточной.

31 Сіи суть сыны Симовы по племенамъ ихъ, по различію языковъ ихъ, вь земляхъ ихъ, по народамъ ихъ.

32 Вотъ племена сыновъ Ноевыхъ, въ родословномъ ихъ порядкј, въ народахъ ихъ. Отъ сихъ распространились на землј народы послј потопа.

1261. As nations signified goods, so also did families, for each nation consisted of families; and so in like manner did households, for each family consisted of a number of households. (Concerning a “household” or “house,” see above, n. 710.) “Families,” however, signify goods when predicated of nations, and truths when predicated of peoples, as in David:

All the families of the nations shall bow themselves before Thee; for the kingdom is Jehovah’s, and He is the ruler over the nations (Psalms 22:27-28).

Again:

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of the peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength (Psalms 96:7).

In the verse now before us, and also in the preceding verse of this tenth chapter of Genesis, “families” are predicated of goods, because they were families of the nations.

Genesis 7

Study

   

1 Yahweh said to Noah, "Come with all of your household into the ship, for I have seen your righteousness before me in this generation.

2 You shall take seven pairs of every clean animal with you, the male and his female. Of the animals that are not clean, take two, the male and his female.

3 Also of the birds of the sky, seven and seven, male and female, to keep seed alive on the surface of all the earth.

4 In seven days, I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights. Every living thing that I have made, I will destroy from the surface of the ground."

5 Noah did everything that Yahweh commanded him.

6 Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters came on the earth.

7 Noah went into the ship with his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives, because of the waters of the flood.

8 Clean animals, animals that are not Clean, birds, and everything that creeps on the ground

9 went by pairs to Noah into the ship, male and female, as God commanded Noah.

10 It happened after the seven days, that the waters of the flood came on the earth.

11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep were burst open, and the sky's windows were opened.

12 The rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights.

13 In the same day Noah, and Shem, Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, entered into the ship;

14 they, and every animal after its kind, all the livestock after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort.

15 They went to Noah into the ship, by pairs of all flesh with the breath of life in them.

16 Those who went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God commanded him; and Yahweh shut him in.

17 The flood was forty days on the earth. The waters increased, and lifted up the ship, and it was lifted up above the earth.

18 The waters prevailed, and increased greatly on the earth; and the ship floated on the surface of the waters.

19 The waters prevailed exceedingly on the earth. All the high mountains that were under the whole sky were covered.

20 The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

21 All flesh died that moved on the earth, including birds, livestock, animals, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, and every man.

22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, of all that was on the dry land, died.

23 Every living thing was destroyed that was on the surface of the ground, including man, livestock, creeping things, and birds of the sky. They were destroyed from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those who were with him in the ship.

24 The waters prevailed on the earth one hundred fifty days.
