創世記第6章

学习

   

1 當人在世上多起來又生女兒的時候,

2 兒子見人的女子美貌,就隨意挑選,娶來為妻。

3 耶和華:人既屬乎血氣,我的靈就不永遠住在他裡面;然而他的日子還可到一二十年。

4 那時候有偉人在上,兒子們和人的女子們交合生子;那就是上古英武有名的人。

5 耶和華見人在上罪惡很大,終日所思想的盡都是惡,

6 耶和華就後悔造人在上,中憂傷。

7 耶和華:我要將所造的人和走,並昆蟲,以及空中的飛,都從地上除滅,因為我造他們後悔了。

8 惟有挪亞在耶和華眼前蒙恩。

9 挪亞的後記在下面。挪亞是個,在當時的世代是個完全。挪亞與同行。

10 挪亞生了個兒子,就是、含、雅弗。

11 世界在面前敗壞,上滿了強暴.。

12 世界,見是敗壞了;凡有血氣的人在上.都敗壞了行為。

13 就對挪亞:凡有血氣的人,他的盡頭已經到我面前;因為上滿了他們的強暴,我要把他們和一併毀滅。

14 你要用歌斐造一隻方舟,分一間一間地造,裡外抹上松香。

15 方舟的造法乃是這樣:要長肘,寬五十肘,三十肘。

16 方舟上邊要留透光處,一肘。方舟的要開在旁邊。方舟要分上、中、下層。

17 看哪,我要使洪水氾濫在上,毀滅;凡上有血、有氣息的活物,無一不死。

18 我卻要與你立約;你同你的妻,與兒子兒婦,都要進入方舟。

19 凡有血的活物,每樣兩個,一公一母,你要進方舟,好在你那裡保全生命。

20 各從其類,牲畜各從其類,地上的昆蟲各從其類,每樣兩個,要到你那裡,好保全生命。

21 你要拿各樣食物積蓄起來,好作你和他們的食物。

22 挪亞就這樣行。凡所吩咐的,他都照樣行了。

Arcana Coelestia#649

649. But here the numbers, or the measurements of the ark, mean nothing other than the remnants that existed with the member of this Church when he was being reformed, and in particular that they were few. This is clear from the fact that among those numbers five is predominant, which in the Word means some, or a little, as in Isaiah,

Gleanings will be left in it, as the shaking of an olive tree, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree. Isaiah 17:6.

Here 'two or three' and 'five' stands for a few. In the same prophet,

One thousand at the rebuke of one, at the rebuke of five will you flee, until you are left like a flagstaff on top of a mountain. Isaiah 30:17.

This also stands for a few. The minimum penalty when making restitution was a fifth part, Leviticus 5:16; 6:5; 22:14; Numbers 5:7, and the minimum increase when they redeemed an animal, a house, a field, or tithes, was a fifth part, Leviticus 27:13, 15, 19, 31.
