1 Mosebok 2

Estude

   

1 Så blev himmelen og jorden med hele sin hær fullendt.

2 Og Gud fullendte på den syvende dag det verk som han hadde gjort, og han hvilte på den syvende dag fra all den gjerning som han hadde gjort.

3 Og Gud velsignet den syvende dag og helliget den; for på den hvilte han fra all sin gjerning, den som Gud gjorde da han skapte.

4 Dette er himmelens og jordens historie, da de blev skapt, den tid da Gud Herren gjorde jord og himmel:

5 Det var ennu ingen markens busk på jorden, og ingen markens urt var ennu vokset frem; for Gud Herren hadde ikke latt det regne på jorden, og der var intet menneske til å dyrke jorden.

6 Da steg det op en damp av jorden og vannet hele jordens overflate.

7 Og Gud Herren dannet mennesket av jordens muld og blåste livets ånde i hans nese; og mennesket blev til en levende sjel.

8 Og Gud Herren plantet en have i Eden, i Østen, og der satte han mennesket som han hadde dannet.

9 Og Gud Herren lot trær av alle slag vokse op av jorden, prektige å se til og gode å ete av, og midt i haven livsens tre og treet til kunnskap om godt og ondt.

10 Og det gikk en elv ut fra Eden og vannet haven; og siden delte den sig i fire strømmer.

11 Den første heter Pison; det er den som løper omkring hele landet Havila, der hvor det er gull.

12 Og gullet i dette land er godt; der er bdellium* og onyks-stenen. / {* et slags velluktende gummi.}

13 Den annen elv heter Gihon; det er den som løper omkring hele landet Kus.

14 Den tredje elv heter Hiddekel; det er den som går østenfor Assur. Og den fjerde elv er Frat.

15 Og Gud Herren tok mennesket og satte ham i Edens have til å dyrke og vokte den.

16 Og Gud Herren bød mennesket: Du må fritt ete av alle trær i haven;

17 men treet til kunnskap om godt og ondt, det må du ikke ete av; for på den dag du eter av det, skal du visselig .

18 Og Gud Herren sa: Det er ikke godt at mennesket er alene; jeg vil gjøre ham en medhjelp som er hans like.

19 Og Gud Herren hadde dannet av jorden alle dyr på marken og alle fugler under himmelen, og han ledet dem til mennesket for å se hvad han vilde kalle dem; og som mennesket kalte hver levende skapning, så skulde den hete.

20 Så gav mennesket navn til alt feet og fuglene under himmelen og alle ville dyr; men for et menneske fant han ingen medhjelp som var hans like.

21 Da lot Gud Herren en dyp søvn falle på mennesket, og mens han sov, tok han et av hans ribben og fylte igjen med kjøtt.

22 Og Gud Herren bygget av det ribben han hadde tatt av mennesket, en kvinne og ledet henne til mennesket.

23 Da sa mennesket: Dette er endelig ben av mine ben og kjøtt av mitt kjøtt; hun skal kalles manninne, for av mannen er hun tatt.

24 Derfor skal mannen forlate sin far og sin mor og bli hos sin hustru, og de skal være ett kjød.

25 Og de var nakne både Adam og hans hustru, men bluedes ikke.

1330. That 'these are the generations of Shem' means the derivatives of the second Ancient Church is clear from the meaning of 'generations' as the origin and derivation of forms of doctrine and of worship, as stated already in 1145. Here and elsewhere in the Word 'generations' are nothing other than the things that constitute the Church, thus forms of doctrine and of worship. The internal sense of the Word encompasses nothing else. Consequently when any Church is born the generations of it are mentioned, as with the Most Ancient Church in Genesis 2:4, 'These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth'; and likewise with the other Churches that succeeded it before the Flood, 'This is the book of the generations', Genesis 5:1. The same is true of the Churches after the Flood which were three in number - the first called Noah, the second taking its name from Eber, the third from Jacob and subsequently from Judah and Israel. Verse 1 of the previous chapter, where the first Church is described, starts in similar fashion, 'These are the generations of the sons of Noah', as does the present verse in reference to this second Church taking its name from Eber, 'These are the generations of Shem', and in reference to the third as well, in verse 27 below, 'These are the generations of Terah'. Consequently 'generations' means nothing other than the origins and derivatives of forms of doctrine and of worship in the Church that is being described. The reason why the generations of this second Ancient Church are traced back to Shem, that is, why its beginning is described from Shem onwards, is that 'Shem' means internal worship, here the internal worship of this Church. Not that the nature of the internal worship of this Church was the same as that meant by 'Shem' in the previous chapter, but only that it is the internal worship of this Church.
