1 εγενετο δε αβραμ ετων ενενηκοντα εννεα και ωφθη κυριος τω αβραμ και ειπεν αυτω εγω ειμι ο θεος σου ευαρεστει εναντιον εμου και γινου αμεμπτος

2 και θησομαι την διαθηκην μου ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου και πληθυνω σε σφοδρα

3 και επεσεν αβραμ επι προσωπον αυτου και ελαλησεν αυτω ο θεος λεγων

4 και εγω ιδου η διαθηκη μου μετα σου και εση πατηρ πληθους εθνων

5 και ου κληθησεται ετι το ονομα σου αβραμ αλλ' εσται το ονομα σου αβρααμ οτι πατερα πολλων εθνων τεθεικα σε

6 και αυξανω σε σφοδρα σφοδρα και θησω σε εις εθνη και βασιλεις εκ σου εξελευσονται

7 και στησω την διαθηκην μου ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου μετα σε εις γενεας αυτων εις διαθηκην αιωνιον ειναι σου θεος και του σπερματος σου μετα σε

8 και δωσω σοι και τω σπερματι σου μετα σε την γην ην παροικεις πασαν την γην χανααν εις κατασχεσιν αιωνιον και εσομαι αυτοις θεος

9 και ειπεν ο θεος προς αβρααμ συ δε την διαθηκην μου διατηρησεις συ και το σπερμα σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων

10 και αυτη η διαθηκη ην διατηρησεις ανα μεσον εμου και υμων και ανα μεσον του σπερματος σου μετα σε εις τας γενεας αυτων περιτμηθησεται υμων παν αρσενικον

11 και περιτμηθησεσθε την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας υμων και εσται εν σημειω διαθηκης ανα μεσον εμου και υμων

12 και παιδιον οκτω ημερων περιτμηθησεται υμιν παν αρσενικον εις τας γενεας υμων ο οικογενης της οικιας σου και ο αργυρωνητος απο παντος υιου αλλοτριου ος ουκ εστιν εκ του σπερματος σου

13 περιτομη περιτμηθησεται ο οικογενης της οικιας σου και ο αργυρωνητος και εσται η διαθηκη μου επι της σαρκος υμων εις διαθηκην αιωνιον

14 και απεριτμητος αρσην ος ου περιτμηθησεται την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου τη ημερα τη ογδοη εξολεθρευθησεται η ψυχη εκεινη εκ του γενους αυτης οτι την διαθηκην μου διεσκεδασεν

15 ειπεν δε ο θεος τω αβρααμ σαρα η γυνη σου ου κληθησεται το ονομα αυτης σαρα αλλα σαρρα εσται το ονομα αυτης

16 ευλογησω δε αυτην και δωσω σοι εξ αυτης τεκνον και ευλογησω αυτον και εσται εις εθνη και βασιλεις εθνων εξ αυτου εσονται

17 και επεσεν αβρααμ επι προσωπον και εγελασεν και ειπεν εν τη διανοια αυτου λεγων ει τω εκατονταετει γενησεται και ει σαρρα ενενηκοντα ετων ουσα τεξεται

18 ειπεν δε αβρααμ προς τον θεον ισμαηλ ουτος ζητω εναντιον σου

19 ειπεν δε ο θεος τω αβρααμ ναι ιδου σαρρα η γυνη σου τεξεται σοι υιον και καλεσεις το ονομα αυτου ισαακ και στησω την διαθηκην μου προς αυτον εις διαθηκην αιωνιον και τω σπερματι αυτου μετ' αυτον

20 περι δε ισμαηλ ιδου επηκουσα σου ιδου ευλογησα αυτον και αυξανω αυτον και πληθυνω αυτον σφοδρα δωδεκα εθνη γεννησει και δωσω αυτον εις εθνος μεγα

21 την δε διαθηκην μου στησω προς ισαακ ον τεξεται σοι σαρρα εις τον καιρον τουτον εν τω ενιαυτω τω ετερω

22 συνετελεσεν δε λαλων προς αυτον και ανεβη ο θεος απο αβρααμ

23 και ελαβεν αβρααμ ισμαηλ τον υιον αυτου και παντας τους οικογενεις αυτου και παντας τους αργυρωνητους και παν αρσεν των ανδρων των εν τω οικω αβρααμ και περιετεμεν τας ακροβυστιας αυτων εν τω καιρω της ημερας εκεινης καθα ελαλησεν αυτω ο θεος

24 αβρααμ δε ην ενενηκοντα εννεα ετων ηνικα περιετεμεν την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου

25 ισμαηλ δε ο υιος αυτου ετων δεκα τριων ην ηνικα περιετμηθη την σαρκα της ακροβυστιας αυτου

26 εν τω καιρω της ημερας εκεινης περιετμηθη αβρααμ και ισμαηλ ο υιος αυτου

27 και παντες οι ανδρες του οικου αυτου και οι οικογενεις και οι αργυρωνητοι εξ αλλογενων εθνων περιετεμεν αυτους

4670. 'A son of seventeen years' means His state. This is clear from the ages measured in years of people mentioned in the Word - spiritual realities and states are meant by them, as these are by all other numbers. For all numbers in the Word have spiritual realities and states as their meaning, see 575, 647, 648, 1988, 2075, 2252, 3252, 4264, 4495, as also do years, 487, 488, 493, 893.

[2] It does indeed seem as though numbers of years, or ages measured in years, mean nothing else than numbers of years. This is because these numbers more than any others have so to speak a more specific historical application. But these numbers too include spiritual realities and states within them, as is clear from the applications given at Genesis 5 and from what has been stated at Genesis 17:1 and Genesis 25:7 about Abraham's age and at Genesis 35:28 about Isaac's. The same is clear in addition from the fact that no historical detail exists anywhere in the Word which does not include within it something heavenly into which it is also changed when it passes from the thought of the reader to the angels present with him, and through those angels into heaven where the spiritual sense rises up out of every historical reference in the Word.

[3] But what is meant by Joseph's being seventeen years old may be seen from the meaning which this number has elsewhere, namely a beginning, in this case the beginning of the representation through Joseph. As to its meaning a beginning and that which is new, see 755, 853. What is more, this number includes within itself in a general way, and so to speak potentially, all the things that are represented by 'Joseph' - 'seven' meaning that which is holy and 'ten' remnants. For 'seven' when used in the Word adds holiness to any meaning, see 881, while 'ten' means remnants, 576, 1906, 2284. The remnants present in the Lord were Divine and His own, and by means of them He united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence, 1906.

Arcana Coelestia # 893

893. Verse 13 And it happened in the six hundred and first year, at the beginning, on the first of the month, that the waters dried up from over the earth, and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw out, and behold, the face 1 of the ground was dry.

'It happened in the six hundred and first year' means a finishing point. 'At the beginning, on the first of the month' means a starting point. 'The waters dried up from over the earth' means that falsities were not at that time apparent. 'And Noah removed the covering of the ark, and saw out' means the light, once falsities had been removed, shed by the truths of faith, which he acknowledged and in which he had faith. 'And behold, the face 1 of the ground was dry' means regeneration.

Mga talababa:

1. literally, the faces

[893a] 1 That 'it happened in the six hundred and first year means a finishing point is clear from the meaning of the number six hundred, dealt with at Chapter 7:6, in 737, as a beginning, and in particular in that verse as the beginning of temptation. The end of it is specified by the same number, with a whole year having now passed by. It took place therefore at the end of a year, and this also is why the words are added 'at the beginning, on the first of the month', meaning a starting point. In the Word any complete period is specified either by a day, or a week, or a month, or a year, and even by a hundred or a thousand years - for example, 'the days' mentioned in Genesis 1, which meant stages in the regeneration of the member of the Most Ancient Church. For in the internal sense day and year mean nothing else than a period of time; and meaning a period of time they also mean a state. Consequently a year stands in the Word for a period of time and for a state, as in Isaiah,

To proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure, and the day of vengeance for our God; to comfort all who mourn. Isaiah 61:2.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. In the same prophet,

The day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed had come. Isaiah 63:4.

Here too 'day' and 'year' stand for a period of time and for a state. In Habakkuk,

Your work, O Jehovah, in the midst of the years make it live, in the midst of the years do You make it known. Habakkuk 3:2.

Here 'years' stands for a period of time and for a state. In David,

'You are God Himself, and Your years have no end. Psalms 102:27.

This statement, in which 'years' stands for periods of time, means that time does not exist with God. The same applies in the present verse where 'the year' of the flood in no way means any one particular year but a period of time that is not determined by a specific number of years. At the same time it means a state. See what has been said already about 'years' in 482, 487, 488, 493.
