Бытие 9

Studie

   

1 И благословилъ Богъ Ноя и сыновъ его, и сказалъ имъ: плодитесь и размножайтесь, и наполняйте землю.

2 Да страшатся и да трепещутъ васъ всј звјри земные и всј птицы небесныя; все, что движется на землј, и всј рыбы морскія отданы въ ваши руки.

3 Все, что движется и живетъ, вамъ да будетъ въ пищу; вамъ даю Я все, подобно какъ и зелень травную.

4 Только плоти съ душею ея, то-есть, съ кровію ея, не јшьте.

5 Я взыщу и вашу кровь, въ которой душа ваша, взыщу ее отъ всякаго звјря, взыщу также душу человјка отъ руки человјка, брата его.

6 Кто прольетъ кровь человјческую, того и самого кровь прольется между человјками, ибо человјкъ созданъ по образу Божію.

7 И такъ вы плодитесь и размножайтесь, и распространяйтесь по землј, и умножайтесь на ней.

8 И сказалъ Богъ Ною и сынамъ его вмјстј съ нимъ:

9 Се, Я поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами, и съ потомствомъ вашимъ послј васъ.

10 И со всякою, находящеюся съ вами душею живою, съ птицами, со скотомъ, и со всјми звјрьми земными, находящимися у васъ, со всјми вышедшими изъ ковчега, со всјми животными земными.

11 И поставляю завјтъ Мой съ вами въ томъ, что не будетъ опять истреблена водами потопа всякая плоть, и не будетъ уже потопа на опустошеніе земли.

12 И сказалъ Богъ: вотъ знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою, находящеюся съ вами въ роды навсегда:

13 Я полагаю дугу Мою въ облакј, чтобы она была знакомъ завјта между Мною и между землею.

14 Такимъ образомъ, когда Я наведу облако на землю: то явится дуга въ облакј;

15 и Я вспомню завјтъ Мой, который между Мною и между вами, и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти; и воды не сдјлаются болје потопомъ на истребленіе всякой плоти:

16 ибо будетъ дуга въ облакј, и Я увижу ее, и вспомню завјтъ вјчный между Богомъ и между всякою душею живою во всякой плоти, какая есть на землј.

17 И сказалъ Богъ Ною: воть знакъ завјта, который Я поставляю между Мною и между всякою плотію, какая есть на землј.

18 Сыновья Ноя, вышедшіе изъ ковчега, были: Симъ, Хамъ и Іафетъ. Хамъ же былъ отецъ Ханаана.

19 Сіи трое были сыновья Ноевы. Отъ сихъ населилась вся земля.

20 Ной началъ воздјлывать землю, и насадилъ виноградникъ,

21 И выпилъ онъ вина, и опьянјлъ, и лежалъ обнаженъ посреди шатра своего.

22 Тогда Хамъ, отецъ Ханаана, увидјлъ наготу отца своего, и сказалъ двумъ братьямъ своимъ на дворј,

23 Симъ же и Іафетъ взяли одежду, и положили ее оба на плеча свои, и пошли задомъ, и покрыли наготу отца своего; и какъ они лицами были назадъ, то и не видјли наготы отца своего.

24 Когда Ной проспался отъ вина своего, и узналъ, что сдјлалъ надъ нимъ меньшій сынъ его:

25 тогда онъ сказалъ: Проклятъ Ханаанъ: Рабъ рабовъ будетъ у братьевъ своихъ.

26 Потомъ сказалъ: Благословенъ Іегова, Богъ Симовъ; Ханаанъ же будеть рабомъ ему.

27 Да распространитъ Богъ Іафета И да вселится онъ въ шатры Симовы, Ханаанъ же будетъ рабомъ ему.

28 И жилъ Ной послј потопа триста пятьдесятъ лјтъ.

29 Всјхъ же дней Ноевыхъ было девять сотъ пятьдесятъ лјтъ и онъ умеръ.

Apocalypse Explained #769

769. Who keep the commandments of God, signifies with those who live the life of faith, which is charity. This is evident from the signification of "keeping the commandments of God," as being to live according to the commandments in the Word; and as that life is a life of faith, and a life of faith is charity, therefore "keeping the commandments of God" signifies to live the life of faith, which is charity. The life of faith is charity towards the neighbor, because faith means faith in the Word, thus faith in the truth that is in the Word and from the Word, and charity means the love of good and truth, spiritual, moral, and civil; and as that which man loves he also wills, and what he wills he does, therefore "keeping the commandments of God" signifies to live the life of faith, which is charity.

[2] From this it can be seen that all those who separate faith from charity know not what faith is or what charity is, for they have no other idea of faith than as being everything of the memory that is believed because they have heard it from learned men; and yet such faith is historical faith, for they do not see whether a thing is so, except because someone else has said it; and what is seen from another can be confirmed both by the sense of the letter of the Word misunderstood and by reasonings from appearances and knowledges [scientifica], although it may be a falsity directly opposed to the truth.

When this is confirmed it becomes a persuasive faith; but neither this faith nor historical faith is a spiritual faith, thus not a saving faith, for such faith has as yet no life from the Lord in it. That a man may receive that life he must live according to the Lord's commandments in the Word, for living according to these commandments is the same as living from the Lord, because the Lord is the Word and is in the Word. Such a life is the life of faith, which is charity; and then its affection becomes charity, and thought from that affection becomes faith; for all man's thought derives its life wholly from affection, since no one can think without affection; therefore when a man's affection becomes spiritual his thought also becomes spiritual; consequently such as a man's charity is such is his faith. From this it can be seen that charity and faith, like affection and thought, or what is the same, like will and understanding, act as one, for affection is of the will and thought is of the understanding, consequently they act as one as goods and truths do. Thence it is clear that to live according to the commandments of the Lord from the Word, or "to keep the commandments of God," means to live the life of faith, which is charity.
