1 Az Úr pedig meglátogatá Sárát, a mint mondotta vala, és akképen cselekedék az Úr Sárával, a miképen szólott vala.

2 Mert fogada Sára az õ méhében, és szûle fiat Ábrahámnak az õ vénségében, abban az idõben, melyet mondott vala néki az Isten.

3 És nevezé Ábrahám az õ fiának nevét, a ki néki született vala, a kit szûlt vala néki Sára, Izsáknak:

4 És körûlmetélé Ábrahám az õ fiát Izsákot, nyolcznapos korában, a mint parancsolta vala néki az Isten.

5 Ábrahám pedig száz esztendõs [vala], mikor születék néki az õ fia Izsák.

6 És monda Sára: Nevetést szerzett az Isten, énnékem; a ki csak hallja, nevet rajtam.

7 Ismét monda: Ki mondotta volna Ábrahámnak, hogy Sára fiakat szoptat? s ímé fiat szûltem vénségére.

8 És felnevekedék a gyermek, és elválasztaték; Ábrahám pedig nagy vendégséget szerze azon a napon, a melyen Izsák elválasztaték.

9 Mikor pedig Sára nevetgélni látá az Égyiptombéli Hágárnak fiát, kit Ábrahámnak szûlt vala,

10 Monda Ábrahámnak: Kergesd el ezt a szolgálót az õ fiával egybe, mert nem lesz örökös e szolgáló fia az én fiammal, Izsákkal.

11 Ábrahámnak pedig igen nehéznek látszék e dolog, az õ fiáért.

12 De monda az Isten Ábrahámnak: Ne lássék elõtted nehéznek a gyermeknek és a szolgálónak dolga; valamit mond néked Sára, engedj az õ szavának, mert Izsákról neveztetik a te magod.

13 Mindazáltal a szolgálóleány fiát is néppé teszem, mivelhogy a te magod õ.

14 Felkele azért Ábrahámreggel, és võn kenyeret és egy tömlõ vizet, és adá Hágárnak, és feltevé azt és a gyermeket annak vállára s elbocsátá. Az pedig elméne, és bujdosék a Beérseba pusztájában.

15 Hogy elfogyott a víz a tömlõbõl, letevé a gyermeket egy bokor alá.

16 És elméne s leûle által ellenébe mintegy nyillövésnyi távolságra; mert azt mondja vala: Ne lássam mikor a gyermek meghal. Leûle tehát által ellenébe, és fölemelé szavát és síra.

17 Meghallá pedig Isten a gyermeknek szavát, és kiálta az Isten angyala az égbõl Hágárnak, és monda néki: Mi lelt téged Hágár? ne félj, mert az Isten meghallotta a gyermeknek szavát, ott a hol van.

18 Kelj fel, vedd fel a gyermeket, és viseld gondját, mert nagy néppé teszem õt.

19 És megnyitá Isten az õ szemeit, és láta egy vízforrást, oda méne azért, és megtölté a tömlõt vízzel, és inni ada a gyermeknek.

20 És vala Isten a gyermekkel, s az felnövekedék, és lakik vala a pusztában, és lõn íjászszá.

21 Lakozék pedig Párán pusztájában, és võn néki anyja feleséget Égyiptom földérõl.

22 És lõn abban az idõben, hogy Abimélek és Pikhól annak hadvezére megszólíták Ábrahámot mondván: Az Isten van te veled mindenben, a mit cselekszel.

23 Mostan azért esküdj meg énnékem az Istenre itt, hogy sem én ellenem, sem fiam, sem unokám ellen álnokságot nem cselekszel, hanem azzal a szeretettel, a melylyel én te irántad viseltettem, viseltetel te is én irántam és az ország iránt, a melyben jövevény voltál.

24 És monda Ábrahám: Én megesküszöm.

25 Megdorgálá pedig Ábrahám Abiméleket a kútért, melyet erõvel elvettek vala az Abimélek szolgái.

26 És monda Abimélek: Nem tudom kicsoda mívelte e dolgot; te sem jelentetted nekem, s én sem hallottam, hanem csak ma.

27 Vett azért Ábrahám juhokat, barmokat és adá Abiméleknek; és egymással szövetséget kötének.

28 És külön állíta Ábrahám a nyájból hét juhot.

29 És monda Abimélek Ábrahámnak: Mire való e hét juh, melyet külön állítál?

30 És felele [Ábrahám]: Ezt a hét juhot vedd tõlem, hogy bizonyságul legyenek nékem, hogy én ástam ezt a kútat.

31 Azért nevezék azt a helyet Beérsebának, mivelhogy ott esküdtek vala meg mind a ketten.

32 Megköték tehát a szövetséget Beérsebában, és felkele Abimélek és Pikhól annak hadvezére és visszatérének a Filiszteusok földére.

33 [Ábrahám] pedig tamariskusfákat ültete Beérsebában, és segítségûl hívá ott az örökkévaló Úr Istennek nevét.

34 És sok ideig tartózkodék Ábrahám a Filiszteusok földén.

2649. 'On the day when he was to wean Isaac' means a state of separation. This is clear from the meaning of 'day' as state, dealt with in 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, and from the meaning of 'being weaned' as being separated, dealt with in 2647. Verse 1 onwards of this chapter has dealt in the following order with the Lord's Divine Essence united to His Human Essence:

The presence of the Divine within the Human, for the sake of the two being united, verse 1.

The presence of the Human within the Divine, and thus a reciprocal union, dealt with in 2004, verse 2,

From that union the Human was made Divine, verse 3.

This was effected gradually and constantly while the Lord lived in the world, verse 4.

It started to be effected when the rational was in a state to receive, verse 5.

The nature of the state of union is described, together with the arcana of that state, verses 6-7.

Now reference follows, and is continued through to verse 12, to the separation of the human received from the mother. That separation is meant in this present verse by 'the weaning of Isaac', and in those that follow it is represented by Hagar's son being cast out of the house. And because the union of the Lord's Divine with His Human, and of the Human with the Divine, is the marriage itself of Good and Truth, and from this marriage is derived the heavenly marriage, which is the same as the Lord's kingdom, mention is therefore made of 'a great feast which Abraham made when Isaac was weaned', by which is meant the first stage of that marriage or the first union. Unless this 'feast', and also the weaning, had had some hidden meaning, it would never have been mentioned.

[2] Since the subject which follows now is the separation of the first human which the Lord had from the mother and the total casting off of it ultimately, it should be recognized that right to the end of His life when He was glorified the Lord gradually and constantly separated from Himself and cast off that which was merely human. That is to say, He cast off that which He had derived from the mother, until ultimately He was no longer her son but the Son of God not only in conception but also in birth, and so was one with the Father and was Jehovah himself. The truth that He separated from Himself and cast off the whole of the human received from the mother, insomuch that He was her son no longer, is plainly evident from the Lord's own words in John,

When the wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no wine. Jesus said to her, O woman, What have you to do with Me? John 2:3-4.

In Matthew,

Someone said, Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside asking to speak to You. But Jesus answering said to the one who had told Him, Who is My mother, and who are My brothers? And stretching out His hand over His disciples He said, Behold My mother and My brothers; for whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven is My brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:47-50; Mark 3:32-35; Luke 11:27-28.

In Luke,

A certain woman lifting up her voice out of the crowd 1 said to Him, Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts that You sucked. But Jesus said, Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. Luke 11:27-28.

[3] Here, when the woman referred to His mother, the Lord spoke of those mentioned in the preceding quotation. That is to say, He spoke of 'whoever does the will of My Father is My brother, sister, and mother', which amounts to the same as saying, 'Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it'. In John,

Jesus seeing his mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, said to His mother, O woman, behold your son! Then He said to the disciple, Behold your mother! From that hour therefore the disciple took her to his own home. John 19:26-27.

From these words it is evident that the Lord spoke to her according to what she was thinking when she saw Him on the Cross - though He does not call her mother but woman - and that He gave the name mother instead to those meant by the disciple; hence His words to the disciple, Behold your mother! The matter is plainer still from the Lord's own words in Matthew,

Jesus questioned the Pharisees saying, What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is He? They said to Him, David's. He said to them, How is it then that David in the spirit calls Him Lord, saying, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I make Your enemies Your footstool. If therefore David calls Him Lord, how is He his son? And no one was able to answer Him a word. Matthew 22:41-end; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:42-44.

Accordingly He was no longer David's son as to the flesh.

[4] As regards the separation and casting off of the human from the mother, it must be added that they have no conception of this who entertain merely bodily ideas about the Lord's Human and think of it as they do of the human of any other. To such people these matters are as a consequence stumbling-blocks. They do not know that as is the life so is the person, and that the Divine Being (Esse) of life, or Jehovah, was the Lord's from conception and that a similar Being (Esse) of life manifested itself within His Human through union.

Matthew 22

1 Jesus answered and spoke again in parables to them, saying,

2 "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a certain king, who made a marriage feast for his son,

3 and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the marriage feast, but they would not come.

4 Again he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner. My cattle and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the marriage feast!"'

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his own farm, another to his merchandise,

6 and the rest grabbed his servants, and treated them shamefully, and killed them.

7 When the king heard that, he was angry, and sent his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned their city.

8 "Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited weren't worthy.

9 Go therefore to the intersections of the highways, and as many as you may find, invite to the marriage feast.'

10 Those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together as many as they found, both bad and good. The wedding was filled with guests.

11 But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who didn't have on wedding clothing,

12 and he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here not wearing wedding clothing?' He was speechless.

13 Then the king said to the servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and throw him into the outer darkness; there is where the weeping and grinding of teeth will be.'

14 For many are called, but few chosen."

15 Then the Pharisees went and took counsel how they might entrap him in his talk.

16 They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter who you teach, for you aren't partial to anyone.

17 Tell us therefore, what do you think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?"

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

19 Show me the tax money." They brought to him a denarius.

20 He asked them, "Whose is this image and inscription?"

21 They said to him, "Caesar's." Then he said to them, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

22 When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

23 On that day Sadducees (those who say that there is no resurrection) came to him. They asked him,

24 saying, "Teacher, Moses said, 'If a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed for his brother.'

25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first married and died, and having no seed left his wife to his brother.

26 In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

27 After them all, the woman died.

28 In the resurrection therefore, whose wife will she be of the seven? For they all had her."

29 But Jesus answered them, "You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.

31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, haven't you read that which was spoken to you by God, saying,

32 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' God is not the God of the dead, but of the living."

33 When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

34 But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

35 One of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, testing him.

36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"

37 Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.'

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'

40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."

41 Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question,

42 saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "A Psalm of David."

43 He said to them, "How then does David in the Spirit call him Lord, saying,

44 'The Lord said to my Lord, sit on my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet?'

45 "If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?"

46 No one was able to answer him a word, neither did any man dare ask him any more questions from that day forth.
