1 Stalo se pak ve dnech těch, že Amrafel král Sinearský, Arioch král Elasarský, Chedorlaomer král Elamitský, a Thádal král Goimský,

2 Vyzdvihli válku proti Bérovi králi Sodomskému, a proti Bersovi králi Gomorskému, a Senábovi králi Adamatskému, a Semeberovi králi Seboimskému, a králi Bélamskému, to jest Ségorskému.

3 Všickni tito sjeli se do údolí Siddim, to jest již moře solné.

4 Dvanácte let sloužili Chedorlaomerovi, třináctého pak léta zprotivili se.

5 Protož léta čtrnáctého přitáhl Chedorlaomer a králové, kteříž byli s ním, a pobili Refaimské v Astarotu Karnaimských, a Zuzimské v Cham, a Eminské na rovinách Kariataimských,

6 A Horejské na hoře jich Seir, až k rovině Fáran, kteráž leží nad pouští.

7 A vracejíce se, přitáhli k En Misfat, kteráž již jest Kádes, a pohubili všecku krajinu Amalechitského, také i Amorejského, bydlícího v Hasesontamar.

8 Protož vytáhl král Sodomský, a král Gomorský, a král Adamatský, a král Seboimský, a král Bélamský, to jest Ségorský, a sšikovali se proti nim k bitvě v údolí Siddim,

9 Proti Chedorlaomerovi králi Elamitskému, a Thádalovi králi Goimskému, a Amrafelovi králi Sinearskému, i Ariochovi králi Elasarskému, čtyři králové proti pěti.

10 (V údolí pak Siddim bylo mnoho studnic klejovatých.) I utíkajíce král Sodomský a Gomorský, padli tam; a kteří pozůstali, utekli na hory.

11 A pobravše všecko zboží Sodomských a Gomorských, a všecky potravy jich, odtáhli.

12 Vzali také Lota, a zboží jeho, syna bratra Abramova, a odjeli; nebo on bydlil v Sodomě.

13 Přišel pak jeden, kterýž byl utekl, a zvěstoval Abramovi Hebrejskému, kterýž tehdáž bydlil v rovinách Mamre Amorejského, bratra Eškolova a bratra Anerova; nebo ti měli smlouvu s Abramem.

14 Uslyšev tedy Abram, že by zajat byl bratr jeho, vypravil způsobných k boji a v domě svém zrozených služebníků tři sta a osmnácte, a honil je až k Dan.

15 A odděliv se, připadl na ně v noci, on i služebníci jeho, a porazil je; a stihal je až k Chobah, kteréž leží na levo Damašku.

16 I odjal zase všecko zboží; také i Lota bratra svého s statkem jeho zase přivedl, ano i ženy a lid.

17 Tedy vyšel král Sodomský proti němu, když se navracoval od pobití Chedorlaomera a králů, kteříž byli s ním, k údolí Sáveh, kteréž jest údolí královské.

18 Melchisedech také král Sálem, vynesl chléb a víno; a ten byl kněz Boha silného nejvyššího.

19 I požehnal mu a řekl: Požehnaný Abram Bohu silnému nejvyššímu, kterýž vládne nebem a zemí;

20 A požehnaný Bůh silný nejvyšší, kterýž dal nepřátely tvé v ruce tvé. I dal mu Abram desátky ze všech věcí.

21 Král pak Sodomský řekl Abramovi: Dej mi lid, a zboží vezmi sobě.

22 I řekl Abram králi Sodomskému: Pozdvihl jsem ruky své k Hospodinu, Bohu silnému nejvyššímu, kterýž vládne nebem i zemí,

23 Že nevezmu od niti až do řeménka obuvi ze všech věcí, kteréž jsou tvé, abys neřekl: Já jsem obohatil Abrama,

24 Kromě toliko toho, což snědli bojovníci, a dílu mužů, kteříž se mnou šli, totiž Aner, Eškol a Mamre; oni nechať vezmou díl svůj.

2714. That 'Paran' means enlightenment coming from the Lord's Divine Human is clear from the meaning of 'Paran' as the Lord's Divine Human, as is evident from those places in the Word where this name is used, as in the prophet Habakkuk,

O Jehovah, I have heard Your fame; I was afraid. O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known. In zeal You will remember mercy. God will come out of Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His fame has covered the heavens, and the earth has been filled with His praise. And His brightness will be as the light; He has horns going out of His hand, and there the hiding-place of His strength will be. Habakkuk 3:2-4.

This plainly refers to the Lord's Coming, which is meant by 'reviving in the midst of the years' and 'making known in the midst of the years'. His Divine Human is described by the words 'God will come out of Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran'. He is said to come 'out of Teman' in regard to celestial love, and 'from Mount Paran' in regard to spiritual love; and the springing of these from enlightenment and power is meant by the words 'His brightness will be as the light; He has horns going out of His hand'. 'Brightness' and 'light' mean enlightenment, 'horns' power.

[2] In Moses,

Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came from myriads of holiness From His right hand came a fiery law for them. He indeed loves the peoples. All His holy ones are in your hand and have been joined together at your feet; and He will receive of your words. Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

This also refers to the Lord, whose Divine Human is described by the words 'He dawned from Seir' and 'He shone from Mount Paran' - 'from Seir' being used in regard to celestial love, 'from Mount Paran' to spiritual love. Those who are spiritual are meant by 'the peoples whom He loves' and by 'those joined together at your feet', 'the foot' meaning that which is lower, and so more obscure, in the Lord's kingdom.

[3] In the same author,

Chedorlaomer and the kings with him smote the Horites in their Mount Seir as far as El-paran, which is over into the wilderness. Genesis 14:5-6.

As regards the Lord's Divine Human being meant there by 'Mount Seir' and by 'El-paran', see 1675, 1676. In the same author,

So it was, in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day in the month, that the cloud lifted from over the tabernacle of the testimony. And the children of Israel travelled according to their travels from the wilderness of Sinai, and the cloud settled in the wilderness of Paran. Numbers 10:11-12.

[4] The truth that all the travels of the people in the wilderness mean the state of the Church militant, and its temptations, in which a person goes under but the Lord conquers on his behalf, and the truth that consequently they mean the Lord's own actual temptations and victories, will in the Lord's Divine mercy be shown elsewhere. And because the Lord underwent temptations by reason of His Divine Human, the Lord's Divine Human is in a similar way meant here by 'the wilderness of Paran'. The same is also meant by the following in the same author,

After that the people travelled from Hazeroth, and camped in the wilderness of Paran. And Jehovah spoke to Moses and said, Send men and let them explore the land of Canaan which I am giving to the children of Israel. And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran as spoken by the mouth of Jehovah. And they returned to Moses and to Aaron and to all the congregation of the children of Israel, to the wilderness of Paran in Kadesh; and they brought back word to them, and showed them the fruit of the land. Numbers 12:16; 13:1-3, 26.

Their travelling from the wilderness of Paran to explore the land of Canaan means that by means of the Lord's Divine Human these people - the children of Israel, by whom were meant those who are spiritual - have access to the heavenly kingdom, meant by the land of Canaan. But their faltering also at that time means their weakness, on account of which the Lord fulfilled everything in the Law, underwent temptations and was victorious, so that those with whom faith grounded in charity resides, also those who undergo temptations in which the Lord is victorious, have salvation from His Divine Human. This also explains why, when the Lord was tempted, He was in the wilderness, Matthew 4:1; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1; see above in 2708.
