1 Mose第11章

学习

   

1 Und die ganze Erde hatte (W. war) eine Sprache und einerlei Worte.

2 Und es geschah, als sie nach (O. von) Osten zogen, da fanden sie eine Ebene im Lande Sinear und wohnten daselbst.

3 Und sie sprachen einer zum anderen: Wohlan, laßt uns Ziegel streichen und hart brennen! Und der Ziegel diente ihnen als Stein, und das Erdharz diente ihnen als Mörtel.

4 Und sie sprachen: Wohlan, bauen wir uns eine Stadt und einen Turm, dessen Spitze an den Himmel reiche, und machen wir uns einen Namen, daß wir nicht zerstreut werden über die ganze Erde! (W. über die Fläche der ganzen Erde; so auch v 8. 9)

5 Und Jehova fuhr hernieder, die Stadt und den Turm zu sehen, welche die Menschenkinder bauten.

6 Und Jehova sprach: Siehe, sie sind ein Volk und haben alle eine Sprache, und dies haben sie angefangen zu tun; und nun wird ihnen nichts verwehrt werden, was sie zu tun ersinnen.

7 Wohlan, laßt uns herniederfahren und ihre Sprache daselbst verwirren, daß sie einer des anderen Sprache nicht verstehen!

8 Und Jehova zerstreute sie von dannen über die ganze Erde; und sie hörten auf, die Stadt zu bauen.

9 Darum gab man ihr den Namen Babel; (Verwirrung) denn daselbst verwirrte Jehova die Sprache der ganzen Erde, und von dannen zerstreute sie Jehova über die ganze Erde.

10 Dies sind die Geschlechter Sems: Sem war 100 Jahre alt und zeugte Arpaksad, zwei Jahre nach der Flut.

11 Und Sem lebte, nachdem er Arpaksad gezeugt hatte, 500 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

12 Und Arpaksad lebte 35 Jahre und zeugte Schelach.

13 Und Arpaksad lebte, nachdem er Schelach gezeugt hatte, 403 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

14 Und Schelach lebte 30 Jahre und zeugte Heber.

15 Und Schelach lebte, nachdem er Heber gezeugt hatte, 403 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

16 Und Heber lebte 34 Jahre und zeugte Peleg.

17 Und Heber lebte, nachdem er Peleg gezeugt hatte, 430 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

18 Und Peleg lebte 30 Jahre und zeugte eghu.

19 Und Peleg lebte, nachdem er eghu gezeugt hatte, 209 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

20 Und eghu lebte 32 Jahre und zeugte Serug.

21 Und eghu lebte, nachdem er Serug gezeugt hatte, 207 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

22 Und Serug lebte 30 Jahre und zeugte Nahor.

23 Und Serug lebte, nachdem er Nahor gezeugt hatte, 200 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

24 Und Nahor lebte 29 Jahre und zeugte Tarah. (H. Terach)

25 Und Nahor lebte, nachdem er Tarah gezeugt hatte, 119 Jahre und zeugte Söhne und Töchter. -

26 Und Tarah lebte 70 Jahre und zeugte Abram, Nahor und Haran.

27 Und dies sind die Geschlechter Tarahs: Tarah zeugte Abram, Nahor und Haran; und Haran zeugte Lot.

28 Und Haran starb vor dem Angesicht seines Vaters Tarah, in dem Lande seiner Geburt, zu Ur in Chaldäa. (W. der Chaldäer, ebenso v 31 und Kap. 15,7)

29 Und Abram und Nahor nahmen sich Weiber; der Name des Weibes Abrams war Sarai, und der Name des Weibes Nahors Milka, die Tochter Harans, des Vaters der Milka und des Vaters der Jiska.

30 Und Sarai war unfruchtbar, sie hatte kein Kind.

31 Und Tarah nahm seinen Sohn Abram und Lot, den Sohn Harans, seines Sohnes Sohn, und Sarai, seine Schwiegertochter, das Weib seines Sohnes Abram; und sie zogen miteinander (W. mit ihnen. And. l.: und führte sie hinweg) aus Ur in Chaldäa, um in das Land Kanaan zu gehen; und sie kamen bis Haran (im nordwestlichen Mesopotamien) und wohnten daselbst.

32 Und die Tage Tarahs waren 205 Jahre, und Tarah starb in Haran.

1153. That 'the sons of Gomer' also means those who possessed external worship, but an external worship derived from that which existed with the nation Gomer, follows from what has been stated and shown several times already about the meaning of 'sons', as well as from the fact that Gomer is one of those nations which possessed external worship corresponding to internal. Seven nations which possessed such worship are mentioned by name in the previous verse, and seven again, called 'the sons of Gomer and of Javan', in this. The specific differences however between one nation and another cannot be stated, as only their names are given here. In the Prophets however when the subject is specifically this or that type of Church-worship the differences can be established. In general all variations of external worship, as also of internal, arise according to the adoration of the Lord in the worship, and the adoration is according to the love to the Lord and love towards the neighbour that exist there. For it is within love that the Lord is present, and thus within worship. The differences of worship therefore existing among the nations mentioned here depend on the nature of His presence within.

[2] To make it easier to talk about how types of worship differ and how they did so in the Ancient Church among various nations, let it be realized that all true worship consists in adoration of the Lord. Adoration of the Lord consists in being humble; and being humble consists in the self-acknowledgement that with oneself there is nothing living and nothing good, but that with oneself everything is dead, indeed corpse-like. Being humble also consists in the acknowledgement that everything living and everything good come from the Lord. The more a person acknowledges these things not just with the lips but in his heart, the more humility he has; and consequently the more adoration - which is true worship - and the more love and charity, and the more happiness. The first contains the second, and they are so linked together as to be inseparable. This shows what these differences of worship are and the nature of them.

[3] Those who are mentioned here and are called 'the sons of Gomer and of Javan' are people who likewise possessed external worship corresponding to internal, but it was somewhat more remote than that of the people mentioned in the previous verse. This also is why they are called 'sons'. Generations descending one after another, or derivatives, here progress from what is interior towards things that are exterior. The more someone relies on the senses, the more exterior he becomes, and consequently becomes further removed from true worship of the Lord. For when it is more concerned with the world, the body, and the earth, and less with the spirit, it consequently becomes more remote. Because these people called the sons of Gomer and of Javan relied more on the senses, they focused worship even more on external things than those referred to as their parents and cousins had done. Consequently they form a second group here.

Genesis第10章

学习

   

1 Now this is the history of the generations of the sons of Noah and of Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Sons were born to them after the flood.

2 The sons of Japheth: Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

3 The sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

4 The sons of Javan: Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

5 Of these were the islands of the nations divided in their lands, everyone after his language, after their families, in their nations.

6 The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

7 The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan.

8 Cush became the father of Nimrod. He began to be a mighty one in the earth.

9 He was a mighty hunter before Yahweh. Therefore it is said, "Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before Yahweh."

10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

11 Out of that land he went forth into Assyria, and built Nineveh, Rehoboth Ir, Calah,

12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (the same is the great city).

13 Mizraim became the father of Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

14 Pathrusim, Casluhim (which the Philistines descended from), and Caphtorim.

15 Canaan became the father of Sidon (his firstborn), Heth,

16 the Jebusite, the Amorite, the Girgashite,

17 the Hivite, the Arkite, the Sinite,

18 the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were spread abroad.

19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as you go toward Gerar, to Gaza; as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, to Lasha.

20 These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, in their nations.

21 To Shem, the father of all the children of Eber, the elder brother of Japheth, to him also were children born.

22 The sons of Shem: Elam, Asshur, Arpachshad, Lud, and Aram.

23 The sons of Aram: Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

24 Arpachshad became the father of Shelah. Shelah became the father of Eber.

25 To Eber were born two sons. The name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided. His brother's name was Joktan.

26 Joktan became the father of Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

30 Their dwelling was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, the mountain of the east.

31 These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their languages, in their lands, after their nations.

32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations. Of these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.
