1 И было, после сих происшествий Бог искушал Авраама и сказал ему: Авраам! Он сказал: вот я.

2 Бог сказал: возьми сына твоего, единственного твоего, которого ты любишь, Исаака; и пойди в землю Мориа и там принеси его во всесожжение на одной из гор, о которой Я скажу тебе.

3 Авраам встал рано утром, оседлалосла своего, взял с собою двоих из отроков своих и Исаака, сына своего; наколол дров для всесожжения, и встав пошел на место, о котором сказал ему Бог.

4 На третий день Авраам возвел очи свои, и увидел то место издалека.

5 И сказал Авраам отрокам своим: останьтесь вы здесь с ослом, а я и сын пойдем туда и поклонимся, и возвратимся к вам.

6 И взял Авраам дрова для всесожжения, и возложил на Исаака, сына своего; взял в руки огонь и нож, и пошли оба вместе.

7 И начал Исаак говорить Аврааму, отцу своему, и сказал: отец мой! Он отвечал: вот я, сын мой. Он сказал: вот огонь и дрова, где же агнец для всесожжения?

8 Авраам сказал: Бог усмотрит Себе агнца для всесожжения, сын мой. И шли далее оба вместе.

9 И пришли на место, о котором сказал ему Бог; и устроил там Авраам жертвенник, разложил дрова и, связав сына своего Исаака, положил его на жертвенник поверх дров.

10 И простер Авраам руку свою и взял нож, чтобы заколоть сына своего.

11 Но Ангел Господень воззвал к нему с неба и сказал: Авраам! Авраам! Он сказал: вот я.

12 Ангел сказал: не поднимай руки твоей на отрока и не делай над ним ничего, ибо теперь Я знаю, что боишься ты Бога и не пожалел сына твоего, единственного твоего, для Меня.

13 И возвел Авраам очи свои и увидел: и вот, позади овен, запутавшийся в чаще рогами своими. Авраам пошел, взял овна и принес его во всесожжение вместо сына своего.

14 И нарек Авраам имя месту тому: Иегова-ире. Посему и нынеговорится: на горе Иеговы усмотрится.

15 И вторично воззвал к Аврааму Ангел Господень с неба

16 и сказал: Мною клянусь, говорит Господь, что, так как ты сделал сие дело, и не пожалел сына твоего, единственного твоего,

17 то Я благословляя благословлю тебя и умножая умножу семя твое, как звезды небесные и как песок на берегу моря; и овладеет семя твоегородами врагов своих;

18 и благословятся в семени твоем все народы земли за то, что ты послушался гласа Моего.

19 И возвратился Авраам к отрокам своим, и встали и пошли вместе в Вирсавию; и жил Авраам в Вирсавии.

20 После сих происшествий Аврааму возвестили, сказав: вот, и Милка родила Нахору, брату твоему, сынов:

21 Уца, первенца его, Вуза, брата сему, Кемуила, отца Арамова,

22 Кеседа, Хазо, Пилдаша, Идлафа и Вафуила;

23 от Вафуила родилась Ревекка. Восьмерых сих родила Милка Нахору, брату Авраамову;

24 и наложница его, именем Реума, также родила Теваха, Гахама, Тахаша и Мааху.

2803. As regards Divine Truth being meant by 'son' and Divine Good by 'father', this becomes clear from the meaning of 'son' as truth, dealt with in 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, and of 'father' as good, and also from the conception and birth of truth as taking place from good. As has been shown many times, truth cannot have being or manifest itself except from good. The reason 'son' here means Divine Truth, and 'father' Divine Good, is that the union of the Divine Essence with the Human Essence, and of the Human Essence with the Divine Essence, is the Divine Marriage of Divine Good to Truth, and of Truth to Good; and from that marriage comes the heavenly marriage. For within Jehovah or the Lord there is nothing but that which is infinite, and this being so, no other idea can be conceived of Him than that He is the Being and Manifestation (Esse et Existere) of all good and truth, that is, He is Good itself and Truth itself. Good itself is the Father, and Truth itself the Son. Now because the Divine Marriage, as has been stated, is a marriage of Good and Truth, and of Truth and Good, the Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Jesus said to Philip, Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me. John 14:10-11.

And elsewhere in the same evangelist,

Jesus said to the Jews, Even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. John 10:36, 38.

And elsewhere,

I pray for them - for all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine - that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You John 17:9-10, 21.

And elsewhere,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself. Father, glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You. John 13:31-32; 17:1.

[2] From these places one may see the nature of the union of the Divine and of the Human within the Lord - that each is linked mutually to the other and responds to the other - that is, it is a reciprocal union. This is the Union which is called the Divine Marriage, from which the heavenly marriage comes down, which is the Lord's kingdom itself in heaven and is referred to in John as follows,

On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. John 14:20.

And elsewhere,

I pray for these, that they may all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, I in them and You in Me, that the love with which You have loved Me may be in them, and I in them. John 17:21-23, 26.

[3] As regards this heavenly marriage being a marriage of good and truth, and of truth and good, see 2508, 2618, 2728, 2729 and following paragraphs. And since Divine Good cannot possibly have being or manifest itself without Divine Truth, and Divine Truth cannot possibly do so without Divine Good, but one is always reaching out to and responding to the other, it is therefore plain that the Divine Marriage has existed from eternity, that is, the Father in the Son, and the Son in the Father, as the Lord Himself teaches in John,

Now, Father, glorify Me in Your Own Self with the glory I had with You before the world was. John 17:5, 24.

But the Divine Human that had been born from eternity was also born in time, and what was born in time is the same as that which was glorified. This is what accounts for the Lord's saying many times that He was going to the Father who sent Him, that is, He was returning to the Father. And in John,

In the beginning was the Word (the Word being Divine Truth itself), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. Furthermore the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-3, 14.

See also John 3:13; 6:62.

John 10

1 "Most certainly, I tell you, one who doesn't enter by the door into the sheep fold, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But one who enters in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out.

4 Whenever he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them, and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

5 They will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him; for they don't know the voice of strangers."

6 Jesus spoke this parable to them, but they didn't understand what he was telling them.

7 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Most certainly, I tell you, I am the sheep's door.

8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep didn't listen to them.

9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture.

10 The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

12 He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who doesn't own the sheep, sees the wolf coming, leaves the sheep, and flees. The wolf snatches the sheep, and scatters them.

13 The hired hand flees because he is a hired hand, and doesn't care for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and I'm known by my own;

15 even as the Father knows me, and I know the Father. I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 I have other sheep, which are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will hear my voice. They will become one flock with one shepherd.

17 Therefore the Father loves me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again.

18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down by myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. I received this commandment from my Father."

19 Therefore a division arose again among the Jews because of these words.

20 Many of them said, "He has a demon, and is insane! Why do you listen to him?"

21 Others said, "These are not the sayings of one possessed by a demon. It isn't possible for a demon to open the eyes of the blind, is it?"

22 It was the Feast of the Dedication at Jerusalem.

23 It was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's porch.

24 The Jews therefore came around him and said to him, "How long will you hold us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly."

25 Jesus answered them, "I told you, and you don't believe. The works that I do in my Father's name, these testify about me.

26 But you don't believe, because you are not of my sheep, as I told you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

28 I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all. No one is able to snatch them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and the Father are one."

31 Therefore Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, "I have shown you many good works from my Father. For which of those works do you stone me?"

33 The Jews answered him, "We don't stone you for a good work, but for blasphemy: because you, being a man, make yourself God."

34 Jesus answered them, "Isn't it written in your law, 'I said, you are gods?'

35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture can't be broken),

36 do you say of him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You blaspheme,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God?'

37 If I don't do the works of my Father, don't believe me.

38 But if I do them, though you don't believe me, believe the works; that you may know and believe that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."

39 They sought again to seize him, and he went out of their hand.

40 He went away again beyond the Jordan into the place where John was baptizing at first, and there he stayed.

41 Many came to him. They said, "John indeed did no sign, but everything that John said about this man is true."

42 Many believed in him there.
