1 Y acaeció que , cuando comenzaron los hombres a multiplicarse sobre la faz de la tierra, y les nacieron hijas,

2 viendo los hijos de Dios las hijas de los hombres que eran hermosas, tomaron mujeres, escogiendo entre todas.

3 Y dijo el SEÑOR: No contenderá mi espíritu con el hombre para siempre, porque ciertamente él es carne; mas serán sus días ciento veinte años.

4 Había gigantes en la tierra en aquellos días; y también después que entraron los hijos de Dios a las hijas de los hombres, y les engendraron hijos , éstos fueron los valientes, que desde la antigüedad fueron varones de nombre.

5 Y vio el SEÑOR que la malicia de los hombres era mucha sobre la tierra, y que todo el intento de los pensamientos del corazón de ellos ciertamente era malo todo el tiempo.

6 Y se arrepintió el SEÑOR de haber hecho hombre en la tierra, y le pesó en su corazón.

7 Y dijo el SEÑOR: Raeré los hombres que he creado de sobre la faz de la tierra, desde el hombre hasta la bestia, y hasta el animal y hasta el ave de los cielos; porque me arrepiento de haberlos hecho.

8 Pero Noé halló gracia en los ojos del SEÑOR.

9 Estas son las generaciones de Noé: Noé, varón justo, perfecto fue en sus generaciones; con Dios anduvo Noé.

10 Y engendró Noé tres hijos: a Sem, a Cam, y a Jafet.

11 Y se corrompió la tierra delante de Dios, y se llenó la tierra de violencia.

12 Y miró Dios la tierra, y he aquí que estaba corrompida; porque toda carne había corrompido su camino sobre la tierra.

13 Y dijo Dios a Noé: El fin de toda carne ha venido delante de mí; porque la tierra está llena de violencia delante de ellos; y he aquí que yo los destruyo a ellos con la tierra.

14 Hazte un arca de madera de cedro; harás apartamientos en el arca y la embetunarás con brea por dentro y por fuera.

15 Y de esta manera la harás: de trescientos codos la longitud del arca, de cincuenta codos su anchura, y de treinta codos su altura.

16 Una ventana harás al arca, y la acabarás a un codo de elevación por la parte de arriba; y pondrás la puerta del arca a su lado; y le harás piso bajo, segundo y tercero.

17 Y, he aquí que yo traigo un diluvio de aguas sobre la tierra, para destruir toda carne en que haya espíritu de vida debajo del cielo; todo lo que hay en la tierra morirá.

18 Mas estableceré mi pacto contigo, y entrarás en el arca tú, y tus hijos, y tu mujer, y las mujeres de tus hijos contigo.

19 Y de todo lo que vive, de toda carne, dos de cada uno meterás en el arca, para que tengan vida contigo; macho y hembra serán.

20 De las aves según su especie, y de las bestias según su especie, de todo animal de la tierra según su especie, dos de cada uno entrarán a ti para que haya vida.

21 Y tú tómate toda vianda que se come, y júntatela, y será para ti y para ellos por mantenimiento.

22 E hizo Noé conforme a todo lo que le mandó Dios; así lo hizo.

10282. 'Throughout your generations' means within all things of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'generations' - when the subject is the children of Israel, by whom the Church is meant - as those who belong to the Church, dealt with in 10212, and so in the abstract sense, without reference to persons, as things of the Church. This is called the abstract sense, without reference to persons, because things that are Divine and emanate from the Lord constitute the Church, not anything that is a person's own. Those things do indeed flow into and reside with the person; nevertheless they do not become the person's own, only the Lord's residing with that person. This being so, when angels talk to one another they speak of things without reference to actual persons. Neither therefore does the name of some person mentioned in the Word pass into heaven, but the reality that is meant by that person.

All names of persons and places mentioned in the Word serve to mean spiritual realities, see 1888, 4442, 5095, 5225.

Names do not pass into heaven, 1876, 6516, 10216.

Arcana Coelestia # 8788

8788. 'And sanctify them today and tomorrow' means covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear now and subsequently in the holiness of faith. This is clear from the meaning of 'sanctifying' as arranging them so that outwardly they may appear in holiness; and since this is accomplished by covering over their interiors, 'sanctifying' has this meaning also. The fact that 'today and tomorrow' means now and subsequently is self-evident. What all this implies will be stated briefly. The Church established among the Jews was not, as regards the Jews themselves, the Church, only a representative of the Church. For the Church to exist there must reside with those belonging to the Church faith in the Lord, and also love to Him, as well as love towards the neighbour. These virtues make the Church. But they did not reside with the people who were called Jacob; for they did not acknowledge the Lord, and so did not wish to hear about faith in Him, let alone about love to Him or indeed about love towards the neighbour. They were ruled by self-love and love of the world, the kinds of love that are the complete opposites of love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour. Such a disposition has been rooted in that people from their earliest forebears. This is why no Church could be established among that people; all they could do was represent things that constitute the Church. Mere representation of the Church comes about when people's worship centres on external things, but only on such things as correspond to heavenly ones. External things then serve to represent internal, and the internal things are made evident in heaven, to which those people are consequently joined. Therefore to make representation possible among the Israelite people, when interiorly they were devoid of the faith and love of heaven, indeed were full of self-love and love of the world, their interiors were covered over. Then their externals alone, without their internals, could be conveyed to spirits, and through these to angels. Consequently unless their internals had been covered over, internals too would have been made evident, in which case the representation would have been destroyed because foul [thoughts and affections] would have burst out and defiled it. Such a covering over was possible with that people more than with all the rest because they venerated external things more than others did; they thought that those things themselves were intrinsically holy, indeed Divine.

All this makes clear what one should understand by 'sanctifying', namely covering over their interiors in order that those people may appear in the holiness of faith, though not to themselves, only to the angels present with them. See what has been shown already about this people and the establishment of the Church among them, in 4208, 4281, 4288, 4289, 4293, 4307, 4314, 4316, 4317, 4429, 4433, 4444, 4459, 4844, 4847, 4865, 4899, 4911, 4912, 4500, 7048, 7051, 8588. The fact that sanctification among them amounted to no more than an appearance of holiness in externals, since they themselves had no holiness within them, becomes clear from the ceremonies by which they were sanctified, that is to say, by sacrifices, washings, sprinklings of blood, and anointings, which do not in any way whatever touch internal things.
