Genesis第2章

1 Nõnda on taevas ja maa ning kõik nende väed valmis saanud.

2 Ja Jumal oli lõpetanud seitsmendaks päevaks oma töö, mis ta tegi, ja hingas seitsmendal päeval kõigist oma tegudest, mis ta oli teinud.

3 Ja Jumal õnnistas seitsmendat päeva ja pühitses seda, sest ta oli siis hinganud kõigist oma tegudest, mis Jumal luues oli teinud.

4 See on lugu taeva ja maa sündimisest, kui need loodi. Sel ajal, kui Issand Jumal tegi maa ja taeva,

5 kui ainsatki väljapõõsast ei olnud veel maa peal ja ainsatki väljarohtu ei olnud veel tärganud, sest Issand Jumal ei olnud lasknud vihma sadada maa peale, ja inimest ei olnud põldu harimas,

6 tõusis udu maast ja kastis kogu mullapinda.

7 Ja Issand Jumal valmistas inimese, kes põrm on, mullast, ja puhus tema ninasse eluhinguse: nõnda sai inimene elavaks hingeks.

8 Ja Issand Jumal istutas Eedeni rohuaia päevatõusu poole ja pani sinna inimese, kelle ta oli valmistanud.

9 Ja Issand Jumal laskis maast tõusta kõiksugu puid, mis olid armsad pealtnäha ja millest oli hea süüa, ja elupuu keset aeda, ning hea ja kurja tundmise puu.

10 Ja Eedenist sai alguse jõgi, mis kastis rohuaeda, jagunedes sealtpeale neljaks haruks:

11 esimese nimi on Piison, see voolab ümber kogu Havilamaa, kus on kulda;

12 selle maa kuld on hea, seal on bedolavaiku ja karneoolikive.

13 Ja teise jõe nimi on Giihon, see voolab ümber kogu Kuusimaa.

14 Ja kolmanda jõe nimi on Hiddekel, see voolab hommiku pool Assurit; ja neljas jõgi on Frat.

15 Ja Issand Jumal võttis inimese ja pani ta Eedeni aeda harima ja hoidma.

16 Ja Issand Jumal keelas inimest ja ütles: 'Kõigist aia puudest sa võid küll süüa,

17 aga hea ja kurja tundmise puust sa ei tohi süüa, sest päeval, mil sa sellest sööd, pead sa surma surema!'

18 Ja Issand Jumal ütles: 'Inimesel ei ole hea üksi olla; ma tahan teha temale abi, kes tema kohane on.'

19 Ja Issand Jumal valmistas mullast kõik loomad väljal ja kõik linnud taeva all ning tõi inimese juurde, et näha, kuidas tema neid nimetab. Ja kuidas inimene igat elavat olendit nimetas, nõnda pidi selle nimi olema.

20 Ja inimene pani nimed kõigile kariloomadele ja lindudele taeva all ja kõigile metsloomadele, aga inimesele ei leidunud abilist, kes tema kohane oleks.

21 Siis Issand Jumal laskis tulla raske une inimese peale ja see jäi magama; siis ta võttis ühe tema küljeluudest ning sulges selle aseme taas lihaga.

22 Ja Issand Jumal ehitas küljeluu, mille ta inimesest oli võtnud, naiseks ja tõi tema Aadama juurde.

23 Ja Aadam ütles: 'See on nüüd luu minu luust ja liha minu lihast. Teda peab hüütama mehe naiseks, sest ta on mehest võetud!'

24 Seepärast jätab mees maha oma isa ja ema ning hoiab oma naise poole, ja nemad on üks liha!

25 Ja nad olid mõlemad alasti, Aadam ja tema naine, ega häbenenud.

213. "'That the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed.'" This symbolically means, so as not to profane and adulterate the goodness of heavenly love.

No one can know the symbolic meaning of the shame of nakedness unless he knows that the reproductive organs in both sexes, called also the genitalia, correspond to celestial love.

To be shown that the human body and all its constituents have a correspondence with the heavens, see the book Heaven and Hell, published in London in , nos. 87-102. And to be shown that the reproductive organs correspond to celestial love, see Arcana Coelestia (The Secrets of Heaven), also published in London, nos. 5050-5062.

Now because these organs correspond to celestial love, which is the love found in the third or inmost heaven, and because a person is born of his parents into loves contrary to that love, it is apparent that if he does not acquire for himself the goodness of love and the truth of wisdom from the Lord, which are symbolically meant by gold refined in fire and white garments, he will be seen to be impelled by a contrary love, which in itself is profane.

[2] This latter circumstance is symbolically meant by uncovering nakedness and manifesting the shame of it, in the following places:

Blessed is he who watches and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and his private parts be seen. (Revelation 16:15)

...daughter of Babylon (and of the Chaldeans), sit on the ground... Uncover your hair..., uncover the thigh, pass through the rivers. Let your nakedness be uncovered; yes, let your shame be seen. (Isaiah 47:1-3)

Woe to the bloody city! ...Because of the multitude of (her) harlotries... I will uncover your skirts in front of you, and I will show the nations your nakedness, and the kingdoms your disgrace. (Nahum 3:1, 4-5)

Contend with your mother... lest I strip her naked... (Hosea 2:2-4)

When I passed by you... I covered your nakedness... Then I washed you... and... I clothed you... But you... played the harlot... not remembering your youth, when you were naked and bare... (Therefore) your nakedness was uncovered... (Ezekiel 16:6ff.)

Jerusalem has sinned gravely; therefore... all... despise her, because they have seen her nakedness. (Lamentations 1:8)

Jerusalem, of which these things were said, means the church; and to play the harlot means, symbolically, to adulterate and falsify the Word (no. 134).

Woe to him who makes his neighbor drink..., making him drunk, that you may look on his nakedness! ...Drink, you too, that your uncircumcised foreskin may be exposed! (Habakkuk 2:15-16)

[3] Someone who knows what nakedness symbolizes can understand what is symbolically meant by the statement that when Noah was drunk from drinking wine he lay uncovered inside his tent, and Ham saw and laughed at his nakedness, but Shem and Japheth covered his nakedness, turning their faces away so as not to see it (Genesis 9:21-23). He can understand also why it was decreed that Aaron and his sons should not go up by steps to the altar, that their nakedness might not be exposed (Exodus 20:26). And so, too, why it was decreed that they should make for them linen trousers to cover their naked flesh, that they should have these on when they came near the altar, and that otherwise they would bear their iniquity and die (Exodus 28:42-43).

Nakedness in these places symbolizes the evils into which a person is born, which, because they are contrary to the goodness of celestial love, are in themselves profane and are removed only by truths and by living in accordance with those truths. Linen also symbolizes truth (no. 671[1-2]).

[4] Nakedness in addition symbolizes innocence, and also ignorance of goodness and truth. Innocence is symbolized by the statement, "they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they had no cause for shame" (Genesis 2:25). Ignorance of goodness and truth is symbolized by the following:

...this... fast that I choose: ...to break bread with the hungry..., and... when you see the naked man, to cover him. (Isaiah 58:6-7)

He gives his bread to the hungry man, and covers the naked one with clothing. (Ezekiel 18:7)

...I was hungry and you gave Me food...; I was naked and you clothed Me. (Matthew 25:35-36)
