2 Ad-akna arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-ək, akfaq-qay əzzurriya iknan igət.»

3 Issəjad Abram daɣ aṃadal, ilas Məššina iššewal:

4 «Ənta da arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-ək: ad təqqəlaɣ əmaraw ən təmattiwen əknanen igət,

5 wər za-tələsa ətəwəɣra s Abram, eṣəm-nak ad-iqqəl Ibrahim fəlas əmaraw ən təmattiwen əknanen igət a kay z-aga.

9 Iṇṇa Məššina y Ibrahim: «Əmərədda, kay d əzzurriya-nnak ihayawan əs hayawan ad-təṭṭəfam arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-wan.

10 Ənta da təməwit as za-təṭṭəfa arkawal ən tassaqq-in dər-wan, kay d əzzurriya-nnak: I daɣ-wan iṃosan yay ad-ammaṇkad.

15 Iṇṇa Məššina y Ibrahim: «Tanṭut-nak wər tat təllisa teɣaray əs Saray eṣəm-net ad-iqqəl Sarata.

18 Təzzar iṇṇa Ibrahim i Məššina: «Igd-i ad iddar Ismaɣil, təṣṣana daɣ-as.»

19 Məššina iṇṇa: «Kala kala, tanṭut-nak Sarata ad-təgrəw barar as za-tagaɣ eṣəm Isxaq. A das əṭṭəfaɣ arkawal iɣlalan ənta d əzzurriya-nnet.

20 Mišan ad-əqbəla maṇsay-nak y Ismaɣil: a fall-as aga albaraka, əsəssirəwaq-qu, agaq-qu a wər nəla əket. Ad-arəw ṃaraw mənokalan d əššin, agaq-qu əmaraw ən tamattay təknat igət.

22 As iɣrad Məššina awal y Ibrahim, ig̣mad-as ənəfilal.

23 Ibrahim idkal Ismaɣil d eklan-net kul win ɣur-əs əhunen əd win d-izzənza, xasil yayyan n ahan-net kul, isammaṇkad-tan əzəl wen da, əmmək wa as t-omar Məššina.

Əmməṇkadan əzəl wen da əntanay əd yayyan kul n ahan n Ibrahim, eklan-net win ɣur-əs əhunen əd win d-izzənza daɣ təsədag.

Arcana Coelestia #2048

2048. That “he that is born in the house” signifies those who are celestial, and that “he that is bought with silver” signifies those who are spiritual, and that they thus signify those who are within the church, is evident from the signification of one “born in the house,” as being those who are within the house. A “house,” in the Word, signifies what is celestial, because this is the inmost; whence by the “house of God” in a universal sense is signified the Lord’s kingdom; in a sense less universal, His church; and in a particular sense, the man himself in whom there is the Lord’s kingdom or church. When man is called a “house,” the celestial of faith in him is signified; and when he is called a “temple,” the truth of faith in him is signified; thus here by one “born in the house” those who are celestial are signified. But that “he that is bought with silver” signifies those who are spiritual, is evident from the signification of “silver,” as being truth, thus the spiritual of faith (see Part First, n. 1551).

[2] Those are called celestial who are in love to the Lord; and as the Most Ancient Church, which was before the flood, was in this love, it was a celestial church. Those are called spiritual who are in love toward the neighbor and thereby in the truth of faith, as was the Ancient Church, which was after the flood. The distinction between the celestial and the spiritual has been treated of many times in Part First. Everyone can see that there are heavenly arcana in what is here said, namely, that those born in the house were to be circumcised, and those bought with silver, and also the sons that were strangers; and also from their being repeatedly mentioned (as in verses 13, 23, and 27, which follow); which arcana do not appear except from the internal sense, which shows that by those born in the house and those bought with silver are signified the celestial and the spiritual, thus those who are within the church; and that by “a son that is a stranger who is not of thy seed” are signified those who are outside the church.
