1 Post tiuj farigxoj la Eternulo diris al Abram en vizio jene: Ne timu, Abram, Mi estas via sxildo; via rekompenco estas tre granda.

2 Kaj Abram diris: Ho Eternulo, mia Sinjoro, kion Vi donos al mi? mi vagas ja seninfane, kaj la administranto de mia domo estas Eliezer el Damasko.

3 Kaj Abram diris: Al mi Vi ne donis ja idaron, kaj jen mia domano estos mia heredanto.

4 Kaj tiam la Eternulo diris al li jene: CXi tiu ne estos via heredanto; nur tiu, kiu eliros el via internajxo, estos via heredanto.

5 Kaj Li elirigis lin eksteren, kaj diris: Rigardu al la cxielo kaj kalkulu la stelojn, se vi povas ilin kalkuli. Kaj Li diris al li: Tiel estos via idaro.

6 Kaj li kredis al la Eternulo; kaj tio estis kalkulita al li kiel virto.

7 Kaj Li diris al li: Mi estas la Eternulo, kiu elirigis vin el Ur la HXaldea, por doni al vi cxi tiun landon kiel posedajxon.

8 Kaj li diris: Ho Eternulo, mia Sinjoro, per kio mi povas scii, ke mi gxin posedos?

9 Kaj Li diris al li: Prenu por Mi bovinon trijaran kaj kaprinon trijaran kaj sxafon trijaran kaj turton kaj junan kolombon.

10 Kaj li alportis al Li cxion cxi tion, kaj Li distrancxis ilin laux la mezo kaj metis cxiujn partojn unu kontraux la alia, sed la birdojn Li ne distrancxis.

11 Kaj la rabobirdoj mallevigxis sur la kadavrojn, sed Abram ilin forpelis.

12 CXe la subiro de la suno profunda dormo falis sur Abramon; kaj jen timego pro la granda mallumo atakis lin.

13 Kaj Li diris al Abram: Sciu, ke via idaro estos fremduloj en lando, kiu ne apartenos al ili; kaj oni sklavigos kaj turmentos ilin dum kvarcent jaroj.

14 Tamen la popolon, cxe kiu ili estos sklavoj, Mi jugxos; kaj poste ili eliros kun granda havo.

15 Kaj vi foriros al viaj prapatroj en paco; vi estos entombigita en bona maljuneco.

16 Kaj en la kvara generacio ili revenos cxi tien; cxar la krimoj de la Amoridoj ankoraux ne atingis plenecon.

17 Kiam la suno subiris kaj farigxis mallumo, subite forna fumo kaj fajra flamo trakuris inter tiuj distrancxitajxoj.

18 En tiu tago la Eternulo faris interligon kun Abram, dirante: Al via idaro Mi donos cxi tiun landon, de la rivero de Egiptujo gxis la granda rivero, la rivero Euxfrato:

19 la Kenidojn kaj la Kenizidojn kaj la Kadmonidojn

20 kaj la HXetidojn kaj la Perizidojn kaj la Rafaidojn

21 kaj la Amoridojn kaj la Kanaanidojn kaj la Girgasxidojn kaj la Jebusidojn.

1868. That these things are meant by these nations would take too long to confirm from the Word; nor is there any need to do so here as no more than their names are mentioned. Some of them have been dealt with already, for example that 'the Rephaim' means false persuasions, 567, 581, 1673; 'the Amorites' evils, 1680; 'the Canaanites' evils, above at verse 16; 'the Perizzites' falsities, 1574. What the rest of the nations mean individually will in the Lord's Divine mercy be explained as they occur later on.

[2] As regards the nations that were to be cast out of the Lord's kingdom, in the next life evil and devilish spirits like nothing more than to surface in the world of spirits and to infest good spirits. But as often as they do so they are cast out, in much the same way as the falsities and evils that have taken possession of one who is being regenerated are overpowered and dispersed, and in their place truths and goods are implanted that belong to the Lord's kingdom.

[3] These falsities and evils were represented by the nations that were driven out of the land of Canaan by the descendants of Jacob. They were represented as well by the Jews themselves who at a later period were driven out from there. The same occurred with many other nations of old by whom similar things had been represented, such as the Horites who were driven from Mount Seir by the descendants of Esau, mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:12, 22; then the Avim who were driven out by the Kaphtorim, mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:23; also the Emim or Rephaim who were driven out by the Moabites, mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:9-11; as well as the Zamzummim who were driven out by the Ammonites, mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:19-21; besides many others referred to in the Prophets.

1680. 'And also the Amorites inhabiting Hazezon-tamar' means kinds of evils derived from this. This is clear from what has just been stated and also from the representation and meaning of 'the Amorites', dealt with at verse 16 of the next chapter. As for the evils and falsities against which the Lord fought, it should be recognized that they were spirits from hell who were ruled by evils and falsities, that is, they were hells that were full of such things, hells which were infesting the human race constantly. Those in hell have but one desire, to destroy everyone; and they find nothing more pleasurable than inflicting torture on others.

[2] All spirits in the next life are distinguished as follows: Those who wish evil on others are hellish or devilish spirits, whereas those who will good to others are good and angelic spirits. A person may know whom he is among, whether among those from hell or those who are angelic, from this: If he intends evil to his neighbour, thinks nothing but evil regarding him, and when possible actually does it, and takes delight in this, he is among spirits from hell and also becomes one himself in the next life. The person however who intends good to his neighbour, thinks nothing but good regarding him, and when possible actually does it, is among angelic spirits, and also becomes an angel in the next life. This is how one spirit is to be distinguished from another; so let the individual examine himself in this way to discover what he himself is really like.

[3] Refraining from evil when one is unable to do it or when one dare not do it amounts in the end to nothing; and doing good for selfish reasons also amounts to nothing. These are external considerations that are taken away in the next life. There it is a person's thought and intention that determine what he is. There are many spirits who because they were accustomed to do so in the world are able to speak virtuously, but it is discerned in an instant whether their mind or intention is in agreement with what they say. If it is not, a person is cast away among spirits in hell who are of his own genus and species.
