学习

   

1 当人在世上多起来又生女儿的时候,

2 儿子见人的女子美貌,就随意挑选,娶来为妻。

3 耶和华:人既属乎血气,我的灵就不永远住在他里面;然而他的日子还可到一二十年。

4 那时候有伟人在上,儿子们和人的女子们交合生子;那就是上古英武有名的人。

5 耶和华见人在上罪恶很大,终日所思想的尽都是恶,

6 耶和华就後悔造人在上,中忧伤。

7 耶和华:我要将所造的人和走,并昆虫,以及空中的飞,都从地上除灭,因为我造他们後悔了。

8 惟有挪亚在耶和华眼前蒙恩。

9 挪亚的後记在下面。挪亚是个,在当时的世代是个完全。挪亚与同行。

10 挪亚生了个儿子,就是、含、雅弗。

11 世界在面前败坏,上满了强暴.。

12 世界,见是败坏了;凡有血气的人在上.都败坏了行为。

13 就对挪亚:凡有血气的人,他的尽头已经到我面前;因为上满了他们的强暴,我要把他们和一并毁灭。

14 你要用歌斐造一只方舟,分一间一间地造,里外抹上松香。

15 方舟的造法乃是这样:要长肘,宽五十肘,三十肘。

16 方舟上边要留透光处,一肘。方舟的要开在旁边。方舟要分上、中、下层。

17 看哪,我要使洪水泛滥在上,毁灭;凡上有血、有气息的活物,无一不死。

18 我却要与你立约;你同你的妻,与儿子儿妇,都要进入方舟。

19 凡有血的活物,每样两个,一公一母,你要进方舟,好在你那里保全生命。

20 各从其类,牲畜各从其类,地上的昆虫各从其类,每样两个,要到你那里,好保全生命。

21 你要拿各样食物积蓄起来,好作你和他们的食物。

22 挪亚就这样行。凡所吩咐的,他都照样行了。

582. 'After the sons of God went in to the daughters of man, who bore children to them' means at that time when they immersed doctrinal matters concerning faith in their own evil desires and became Nephilim. This is clear from what has been stated and shown just above at verse 2, that is to say, 'the sons of God' means doctrinal matters concerning faith, while 'daughters' means evil desires. Nothing else is born of this union than their treating the holy things of faith as worthless and their profaning them. For a person's desires which stem from self-love and love of the world stand utterly opposed to all that is holy and true. Moreover evil desires prevail with man, and therefore when the holy and true which have been acknowledged by him are immersed in such desires he is done for, since these cannot be rooted out and dispersed. They cling to every one of his ideas, and in the next life it is ideas that are communicated from one person to another. Consequently as soon as any idea of what is holy and true is brought out, so too is the unholiness and falsity attached to it, which is perceived instantly. Consequently such people have to be separated and forced down into hell.
