Genesis 14

1 Ja Sineari kuninga Amrafeli, Ellasari kuninga Arjoki, Eelami kuninga Kedorlaomeri ja Goojimi kuninga Tideali päevil sündis,

2 et nad alustasid sõda Soodoma kuninga Bera, Gomorra kuninga Birsa, Adma kuninga Sineabi, Seboimi kuninga Semeeberi ja Bela, see on Soari kuninga vastu.

3 Need kõik kogunesid Siddimi orgu, kus nüüd on Soolameri.

4 Kaksteist aastat olid nad Kedorlaomerit orjanud, aga kolmeteistkümnendal aastal nad tõstsid mässu.

5 Ja neljateistkümnendal aastal tulid Kedorlaomer ja need kuningad, kes olid koos temaga, ja lõid refalasi Astarot-Karnaimis, susiite Haamis, emiite Kirjataimi tasandikul

6 ja horiite nende mäestikus Seiris kuni Eel-Paaranini, mis on kõrbe ääres.

7 Siis nad pöördusid tagasi ja tulid Een-Mispatti, see on Kaadesisse, ja vallutasid kogu amalekkide väljade ala, samuti võitsid nad emorlasi, kes elasid Haseson-Taamaris.

8 Aga Soodoma kuningas, Gomorra kuningas, Adma kuningas, Seboimi kuningas ja Bela, see on Soari kuningas, läksid välja ja valmistusid tapluseks nende vastu Siddimi orus:

9 Eelami kuninga Kedorlaomeri, Goojimi kuninga Tideali, Sineari kuninga Amrafeli ja Ellasari kuninga Arjoki vastu - neli kuningat viie vastu.

10 Aga Siddimi org oli täis maapigi auke. Kui Soodoma ja Gomorra kuningad põgenesid, siis nad langesid neisse, kuna ülejäänud põgenesid mäestikku.

11 Ja nad võtsid kogu Soodoma ja Gomorra varanduse ja kogu nende toiduse ning läksid ära.

12 Ja ära minnes nad võtsid kaasa ka Loti, Aabrami vennapoja, ja tema varanduse; ta elas ju Soodomas.

13 Aga üks põgenik tuli ja teatas Aabramile, heebrealasele, kes elas emorlase Mamre, Eskoli ja Aaneri venna tammikus; ja need olid Aabrami liitlased.

14 Kui Aabram kuulis, et ta vennapoeg oli vangi viidud, siis ta viis välja oma kodakondsed, kes tema peres olid sündinud, arvult kolmsada kaheksateist, ja ajas vaenlasi taga kuni Daanini.

15 Ta jaotas öösel oma sulased nende vastu, lõi neid ja jälitas neid kuni Hoobani, mis on Damaskusest vasakut kätt.

16 Ja ta tõi tagasi kogu varanduse; ka Loti, oma vennapoja, ja tema varanduse ta tõi tagasi, samuti naised ja rahva.

17 Ja kui ta Kedorlaomerit ja koos temaga olevaid kuningaid löömast tagasi tuli, läks Soodoma kuningas temale vastu Saave orgu, see on Kuningaorgu.

18 Ja Melkisedek, Saalemi kuningas, tõi leiba ja veini, sest tema oli kõige kõrgema Jumala preester,

19 ja õnnistas teda ning ütles: 'Olgu õnnistatud Aabram, kõige kõrgema Jumala, taeva ja maa Looja poolt!

20 Olgu kiidetud kõige kõrgem Jumal, kes sinu vaenlased su kätte andis!' Ja Aabram andis temale kümnist kõigest.

21 Ja Soodoma kuningas ütles Aabramile: 'Anna hingelised mulle, aga varandus võta enesele!'

22 Kuid Aabram ütles Soodoma kuningale: 'Ma tõstan oma käe üles Issanda, kõige kõrgema Jumala poole, kes on taeva ja maa Looja,

23 et ma ei võta lõngaotsa ega jalatsipaelagi kõigest sellest, mis on sinu oma, et sa ei saaks öelda: Mina olen Aabrami rikkaks teinud!

24 Mul pole midagi vaja - ainult, mis poisid sõid, ja mehed, kes koos minuga käisid - Aaner, Eskol ja Mamre -, need võtku oma osa!'

1737. 'Who has delivered your enemies into your hand' means victory. This becomes clear without explanation. The joining of the Human Essence to the Divine Essence was brought about and effected by the Lord by means of constant conflicts that constitute temptations, and by victories; and He did all this from His own power. Anyone who conceives the manner of conjunction and union to be different from that is much mistaken. This was the way in which He became Righteousness. The conjunction or union was effected with the celestial element of love, that is, with Love itself, which, as has been stated, is Jehovah. The joining of men to the Lord is also effected by means of temptations and by the implanting of faith in love. Unless faith is implanted in love, that is, unless a person by means of things that belong to faith receives the life of faith, which is charity, conjunction is not possible. This alone is what 'to follow Him' implies, namely to be joined to the Lord, even as the Lord as regards His Human Essence was joined to Jehovah. For the same reason all such people are called sons of God - from the Lord who is the only Son of God - and become images of Him.

Genesis 15

1 After these things the word of Yahweh came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Don't be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward."

2 Abram said, "Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, since I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"

3 Abram said, "Behold, to me you have given no seed: and, behold, one born in my house is my heir."

4 Behold, the word of Yahweh came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir, but he who will come forth out of your own body will be your heir."

5 Yahweh brought him outside, and said, "Look now toward the sky, and count the stars, if you are able to count them." He said to Abram, "So shall your seed be."

6 He believed in Yahweh; and he reckoned it to him for righteousness.

7 He said to him, "I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it."

8 He said, "Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?"

9 He said to him, "Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

10 He brought him all of these, and divided them in the middle, and laid each half opposite the other; but he didn't divide the birds.

11 The birds of prey came down on the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

12 When the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. Now terror and great darkness fell on him.

13 He said to Abram, "Know for sure that your seed will live as foreigners in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them. They will afflict them four hundred years.

14 I will also judge that nation, whom they will serve. Afterward they will come out with great wealth,

15 but you will go to your fathers in peace. You will be buried in a good old age.

16 In the fourth generation they will come here again, for the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full."

17 It came to pass that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold, a smoking furnace, and a flaming torch passed between these pieces.

18 In that day Yahweh made a covenant with Abram, saying, "To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

19 the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

20 the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Rephaim,

21 the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites."
