1 Stalo se pak v ten čas, že sstupuje Juda od bratří svých, uchýlil se k muži Odolamitskému, jehož jméno bylo Híra.

2 I uzřel tam Juda dceru muže Kananejského, kterýž sloul Sua; a pojav ji, všel k ní.

3 Kterážto počala a porodila syna; i nazval jméno jeho Her.

4 A počavši opět, porodila syna; a nazvala jméno jeho Onan.

5 Porodila pak ještě syna, jehož jméno nazvala Séla. A byl Juda v Chezib, když ona jej porodila.

6 I dal Juda Herovi prvorozenému svému manželku, jménem Támar.

7 A byl Her, prvorozený Judův, zlý před očima Hospodina; i zabil jej Hospodin.

8 Tedy řekl Juda Onanovi: Vejdi k ženě bratra svého, a podlé příbuznosti pojmi ji, abys vzbudil símě bratru svému.

9 Věděl pak Onan, že to símě nebude jeho. Protož kdykoli vcházel k ženě bratra svého, vypouštěl símě na zem, aby nezplodil synů bratru svému.

10 I nelíbilo se Hospodinu to, co dělal Onan; protož ho také zabil.

11 Tedy řekl Juda k Támar nevěstě své: Pobuď v domě otce svého vdovou, dokudž nedoroste Séla, syn můj. (Nebo řekl: Aby on také neumřel, jako i bratří jeho.) I odešla Támar, a bydlila v domě otce svého.

12 A po mnohých dnech umřela dcera Suova, manželka Judova. Kterýžto potěšiv se zas, šel do Tamnas k těm, kteříž střihli ovce jeho, a s ním Híra Odolamitský, přítel jeho.

13 I oznámeno jest Támar těmito slovy: Aj, tchán tvůj vstupuje do Tamnas, aby střihl ovce své.

14 Tedy ona složivši s sebe šaty své vdovské, zavila se v rouchu, a oděla se a seděla na rozcestí, kudy se jde do Tamnas. Nebo viděla, že Séla dorostl, a že není dána jemu za manželku.

15 Kteroužto uzřev Juda, za to měl, že jest nevěstka; nebo zakryla tvář svou.

16 Protož uchýliv se k ní s cesty, řekl: Dopusť medle, ať vejdu k tobě. (Nebo nevěděl, aby nevěsta jeho byla.) I řekla: Co mi dáš, jestliže vejdeš ke mně?

17 Odpověděl: Pošliť kozelce z stáda. Dí ona: Kdybys něco zastavil, dokavadž nepošleš.

18 I řekl: Cožť mám dáti v zástavě? Odpověděla ona: Pečetní prsten svůj, a halži svou, a hůl svou, kterouž máš v ruce své. I dal jí, a všel k ní; a počala z něho.

19 Tedy vstavši, odešla, a sňavši rouchu svou s sebe, oblékla se v šaty své vdovské.

20 I poslal Juda kozelce po příteli svém Odolamitském, aby vzal zase základ od ženy. A nenalezl jí.

21 I ptal se mužů toho místa, řka: Kde jest ta nevěstka, kteráž seděla na rozcestí této cesty? Řekli oni: Nebylotě zde nevěstky.

22 Tedy navrátiv se k Judovi, řekl: Nenašel jsem jí; a také muži místa toho pravili: Nebylo zde nevěstky.

23 I řekl Juda: Nechť sobě to má, abychom neuvedli se v lehkost. Jáť jsem poslal toho kozelce, ale tys jí nenalezl.

24 I stalo se okolo tří měsíců, že oznámili Judovi, řkouce: Dopustila se smilství Támar nevěsta tvá, a jest již i těhotná z smilství. I řekl Juda: Vyveďte ji, aby byla upálena.

25 Když pak vedena byla, poslala k tchánu svému, řkuci: Z muže, jehož tyto věci jsou, těhotná jsem. A při tom řekla: Pohleď, prosím, čí jsou tyto věci, pečetní prsten, halže a hůl tato?

26 Tedy pohleděv na to Juda, řekl: Spravedlivějšíť jest než já, poněvadž jsem nedal jí Sélovi synu svému. A více jí nepoznával.

27 Stalo se pak, že když přišel čas porodu jejího, aj, bliženci v životě jejím.

28 A když rodila, jeden z nich vyskytl ruku, kteroužto chytivši baba, uvázala na ni červenou nitku, řkuci: Ten vyjde prvé.

29 Když pak vtáhl ruku svou zase, hle, vyšel bratr jeho. I řekla: Jak jsi protrhl? Tvéť jest protržení. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Fáres.

30 A potom vyšel bratr jeho, kterýž měl na ruce nitku červenou. I nazváno jest jméno jeho Zára.

4815. 'That Judah went down from his brothers' means the descendants of Jacob, in particular the tribe of Judah which was separated from the rest. This is clear from the representation of 'Judah' in the universal sense as the descendants of Jacob, and in a particular sense as the tribe called the tribe of Judah; and from the meaning of 'going down from his brothers' as being separated from the rest of the tribes, here as a departure into evil worse than theirs. 'Going down' implies a decline into evil, since 'going up' implies a lifting up to what is good, 3084, 4539. The reason for this is, as also stated already, that the land of Canaan represented the Lord's kingdom, and Jerusalem and Zion in that land the inmost part of this kingdom. But the regions outside the boundaries of that land represented things outside the Lord's kingdom, namely falsity and evil. Consequently the expression 'to go down' was used when going from Zion and Jerusalem towards the boundaries of the land, but 'to go up' when going from the boundaries towards Jerusalem and Zion. This is why 'going up' implies a lifting up to truth and goodness, and 'going down' a decline into falsity and evil. As the reference here is to the falsity and evil into which the tribe of Judah declined, the expression 'Judah went down' is used, and after that 'he turned aside to a man, an Adullamite', 'turning aside' meaning that it declined into falsity and then into evil.

[2] It is well known that the tribe of Judah was separated from the rest of the tribes. The reason for the separation was so that the tribe might represent the Lord's celestial kingdom, and the rest of the tribes His spiritual kingdom. This being so, Judah also describes, in the representative sense, the celestial man, and in the universal sense the Lord's celestial kingdom, 3654, 3881. The rest of the tribes however were referred to by the single term 'the Israelites', for in the representative sense Israel describes the spiritual man, and in the universal sense the Lord's spiritual kingdom, 3654, 4286.

[3] The decline of the tribe of Judah into evil worse than that of the rest is the particular meaning of these words - 'and Judah went down from his brothers, and turned aside'. The departure of the tribe of Judah into evil worse than that of the rest is clear from many places in the Word, in particular in the Prophets, as in Jeremiah,

Her treacherous sister Judah saw when, because of all the ways in which estranged Israel committed adultery, I sent her away and gave her a decree of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she also went and committed whoredom, so much so that with the voice of her whoredom she profaned the land; she committed adultery with stone and wood. Yet for all this treacherous Judah has not returned to Me. Estranged Israel has justified her soul more than treacherous Judah. Jeremiah 3:7-11.

And in Ezekiel,

Her sister did indeed see, yet she corrupted her own love more than she, and her own acts of whoredom beyond her sister's acts of whoredom. Ezekiel 23:11-end.

These, in addition to many others elsewhere, are references to Jerusalem and Samaria, that is, to the tribe of Judah and the tribes of Israel.

[4] Described in the internal sense of this chapter is the way in which that tribe sank into falsity, and from this into evil, and at length into that which was wholly idolatrous. This, it is true, is described in the internal sense even before that tribe was separated from the rest and before it came to be as mentioned above. But that which is contained in the internal sense is Divine, and to the Divine future things are also present ones. See what was foretold about that nation in Deuteronomy 31:16-21; 32:15-43.

Deuteronomy第32章:15-43

学习

      

15 But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked. You have grown fat. You have grown thick. You have become sleek. Then he forsook God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They moved him to jealousy with strange [gods]. They provoked him to anger with abominations.

17 They sacrificed to demons, [which were] no God, to gods that they didn't know, to new [gods] that came up of late, which your fathers didn't dread.

18 Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful, and have forgotten God who gave you birth.

19 Yahweh saw [it], and abhorred [them], because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

20 He said, "I will hide my face from them. I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked me to anger with their vanities. I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, Burns to the lowest Sheol, Devours the earth with its increase, and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.

23 "I will heap evils on them. I will spend my arrows on them.

24 [They shall be] wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and bitter destruction. I will send the teeth of animals on them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.

25 Outside the sword shall bereave, and in the rooms, terror; on both young man and virgin, The nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

26 I said, I would scatter them afar. I would make the memory of them to cease from among men;

27 were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge wrongly, lest they should say, 'Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this.'"

28 For they are a nation void of counsel. There is no understanding in them.

29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had delivered them up?

31 For their rock is not as our rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, of the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.

33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps.

34 "Isn't this laid up in store with me, sealed up among my treasures?

35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, at the time when their foot slides; for the day of their calamity is at hand. The things that are to come on them shall make haste."

36 For Yahweh will judge his people, and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that [their] power is gone, There is none [remaining], shut up or left at large.

37 He will say, "Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;

38 Which ate the fat of their sacrifices, And drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you! Let them be your protection.

39 "See now that I, even I, am he, There is no god with me. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live forever,

41 if I whet my glittering sword, My hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my adversaries, and will recompense those who hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood. My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the head of the leaders of the enemy."

43 Rejoice, you nations, [with] his people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants. He will render vengeance to his adversaries, And will make expiation for his land, for his people.
