创世记 9

Studie

   

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

Arcana Coelestia #648

Bestudeer deze passage

648. As for numbers and measurements in the Word meaning celestial and spiritual things, this becomes quite clear from the measuring of the New Jerusalem and of the Temple in John and Ezekiel. It may become clear to anyone that the 'New Jerusalem' and the 'New Temple' mean the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth, and that the Lord's kingdom in heaven and on earth is not subject to earthly measurements, even though the size of it - its length, breadth, and height - is specified numerically. From this anyone may conclude that numbers and measurements mean things that are holy, as in John,

I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and the angel stood and said to me, Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it. Revelation 11:1.

And concerning the New Jerusalem,

The wall of the heavenly Jerusalem was great and high, having twelve gates, and above the gates twelve angels, and names written which are those of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel; on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them the twelve names of the apostles of the Lamb. He who talked to me had a golden measuring-rod to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. The city lies four-square, and its length is the same as its breadth. He therefore measured the city with the measuring rod, twelve thousand stadia; its length and breadth and height were equal. He measured its wall, a hundred and forty-four cubits, which is the measure of a man, that is, of an angel. Revelation 21:12-17.

[2] Here the number twelve occurs repeatedly. It is a very holy number since it means the holy things of faith, as has been stated above at verse 3 of this chapter, and in the Lord's Divine mercy will be shown at Genesis 29, 30. Hence also the comment added at the end of the quotation set out above about this measure being 'the measure of a man, that is, of an angel'. The same applies with the New Temple and the New Jerusalem in Ezekiel, which are also described according to their measurements, Chapter 40:3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13-14, 22, 25, 30, 36, 42, 47; Ezekiel 41:1-end; 42:5-15; Zechariah 2:1-2. There also, regarded in themselves the numbers mean nothing but celestial and spiritual holiness independent of actual numbers. The same applies to all the numbers giving the dimensions of the Ark, Exodus 25:10, and similarly of the mercy seat, the golden table, the Tabernacle, the altar, Exodus 25:17, 23; Exodus 26; 27:1; and to all the numbers and dimensions of the Temple, 1 Kings 6:2-3, and many other examples.
