1 ノアとその子らとを祝福して彼らに言われた、「生めよ、ふえよ、地に満ちよ。

2 地のすべての獣、空のすべての、地に這うすべてのもの、のすべての魚は恐れおののいて、あなたがたの支配に服し、

3 すべて生きて動くものはあなたがたの食物となるであろう。さきに青をあなたがたに与えたように、わたしはこれらのものを皆あなたがたに与える

4 しかしを、その命であるのままで、食べてはならない。

5 あなたがたの命のを流すものには、わたしは必ず報復するであろう。いかなる獣にも報復する。兄弟である人にも、わたしは人の命のために、報復するであろう。

6 人のを流すものは、人にを流される、自分のかたちに人を造られたゆえに。

7 あなたがたは、生めよ、ふえよ、地に群がり、地の上にふえよ」。

8 ノアおよび共にいる子らに言われた、

9 「わたしはあなたがた及びあなたがたのの子孫と契約を立てる。

10 またあなたがたと共にいるすべての生き物、あなたがたと共にいる、家畜、地のすべての、すなわち、すべて箱舟から出たものは、地のすべてのにいたるまで、わたしはそれと契約を立てよう。

11 わたしがあなたがたと立てるこの契約により、すべてなる者は、もはや洪水によって滅ぼされることはなく、また地を滅ぼす洪水は、再び起らないであろう」。

12 さらには言われた、「これはわたしと、あなたがた及びあなたがたと共にいるすべての生き物との間に代々かぎりなく、わたしが立てる契約のしるしである。

13 すなわち、わたしはの中に、にじを置く。これがわたしと地との間の契約のしるしとなる。

14 わたしがを地の上に起すとき、にじはの中に現れる。

15 こうして、わたしは、わたしとあなたがた、及びすべてなるあらゆる生き物との間に立てた契約を思いおこすゆえ、水はふたたび、すべてなる者を滅ぼす洪水とはならない。

16 にじがの中に現れるとき、わたしはこれを見てが地上にあるすべてなるあらゆる生き物との間に立てた永遠の契約を思いおこすであろう」。

17 そしてノアに言われた、「これがわたしと地にあるすべてなるものとの間に、わたしが立てた契約のしるしである」。

18 箱舟から出たノアの子らはセム、ハム、ヤペテであった。ハムはカナンの父である。

19 この人はノアの子らで、全地の民は彼らから出て、広がったのである。

20 さてノアは農となり、ぶどう畑をつくり始めたが、

21 彼はぶどう酒を飲んで酔い、天幕の中でになっていた。

22 カナンの父ハムは父の見て、外にいるふたりの兄弟に告げた。

23 セムとヤペテとは着物を取って、肩にかけ、うしろ向きに歩み寄って、父のをおおい、をそむけて父のを見なかった。

24 やがてノアは酔いがさめて、末のが彼にした事を知ったとき、

25 彼は言った、「カナンはのろわれよ。彼はしもべのしもべとなって、その兄弟たちに仕える」。

26 また言った、「セムはほむべきかな、カナンはそのしもべとなれ。

27 はヤペテを大いならしめ、セムの天幕に彼を住まわせられるように。カナンはそのしもべとなれ」。

28 ノアは洪水の、なお五十年生きた。

29 ノアの年は合わせて五十歳であった。そして彼は死んだ。

986. That 'the fear of you and the dread of you' means the lordship of the internal man - 'fear' having regard to evils and 'dread' to falsities - becomes clear from the state of a regenerate person. A person's state prior to regeneration is one in which the evil desires and the falsities that belong to the external man predominate all the time, which gives rise to conflict. But once he has been regenerated the internal man rules over the external, that is, over his desires and falsities. When it is the internal man that rules, the person has a fear of evils and a dread of falsities, for both evils and falsities are contrary to conscience, and to act contrary to conscience is abhorrent to him.

[2] It is not however the internal man that fears evils and dreads falsities, but the external; hence the statements at this point about the fear of you and the dread of you being upon every beast of the earth and every bird of the air 1 , that is, over all evil desires meant by 'beast' and over falsities meant by 'bird of the air'. 1 This fear and this dread are seemingly the person's own, but the reality is this: As stated already everybody has at least two angels with him through whom he has communication with heaven, and two evil spirits through whom he has communication with hell. When the angels rule, as is so with a regenerate person, the evil spirits who are present dare not do anything contrary to what is good and true, for they are at that time held in bonds. And when they do try to do anything evil or to utter what is false - that is, to activate it - some hellish kind of fear and dread instantly overtakes them. This fear and this dread are what a person feels within himself for things that are contrary to conscience. This also is why, as soon as he does or utters anything contrary to conscience, he runs into temptation and the gnawings of conscience, that is, into a kind of hellish torment.

[3] On the point that fear has reference to evils and dread to falsities, the situation Is this: The spirits that reside with a person are less afraid of practising evil deeds than of uttering falsities, the reason being that a person is born again and receives a conscience by means of truths of faith, and consequently spirits are not allowed to activate falsities. Indeed nothing but evil is present with every one of them, so that they are immersed in evil; their whole nature, and consequently everything they attempt is evil; and since they are immersed in evil and their own life within them consists in evil, their performance of evil is ignored when they are serving some use. But they are not permitted to utter anything false, for the reason that they may learn what is true, and in so doing may be corrected, so far as possible, to perform some inferior kind of service. But more concerning these matters will in the Lord's Divine mercy be mentioned later on. It is similar with a regenerate person, for his conscience is formed from truths of faith. Consequently his conscience is a conscience for what is right. For him the very evil of life lies in falsity because falsity is the reverse of the truth of faith. But with the member of the Most Ancient Church who had perception it was different. He perceived evil of life as evil, and falsity of faith as falsity.
