1 Ειπατε προς τους αδελφους σας, Αμμι, και προς τας αδελφας σας, Ρουχαμμα.

2 Κριθητε μετα της μητρος σας, κριθητε· διοτι αυτη δεν ειναι γυνη μου και εγω δεν ειμαι ανηρ αυτης· ας αφαιρεση λοιπον τας πορνειας αυτης απ' εμπροσθεν αυτης και τας μοιχειας αυτης εκ μεσου των μαστων αυτης·

3 μηποτε εκδυσας γυμνωσω αυτην και αποκαταστησω αυτην καθως εν τη ημερα της γεννησεως αυτης, και θεσω αυτην ως ερημον και καταστησω αυτην ως γην ανυδρον και θανατωσω αυτην εν διψη.

4 Και δεν θελω ελεησει τα τεκνα αυτης· επειδη ειναι τεκνα πορνειας.

5 Διοτι η μητηρ αυτων επορνευσεν· η συλλαβουσα αυτα επραξεν αισχυνην· διοτι ειπε, Θελω υπαγει κατοπιν των εραστων μου, οιτινες μοι διδουσι τον αρτον μου και το υδωρ μου, το μαλλιον μου και το λιναριον μου, το ελαιον μου και τα ποτα μου.

6 Δια τουτο, ιδου, εγω θελω φραξει την οδον σου με ακανθας και οικοδομησει φραγμον, δια να μη ευρη τας οδους αυτης.

7 Και θελει τρεξει κατοπιν των εραστων αυτης και δεν θελει φθασει αυτους, και θελει ζητησει αυτους και δεν θελει ευρει· τοτε θελει ειπει, Θελω υπαγει και επιστρεψει προς τον πρωτον μου ανδρα· διοτι καλητερον ητο τοτε εις εμε παρα τωρα.

8 Και αυτη δεν εγνωριζεν οτι εγω εδωκα εις αυτην τον σιτον και τον οινον και το ελαιον, και επληθυνα το αργυριον εις αυτην και το χρυσιον, με τα οποια κατεσκευασαν τον Βααλ.

9 Δια τουτο θελω επιστρεψει και λαβει τον σιτον μου εν τω καιρω αυτου και τον οινον μου εν τω διωρισμενω καιρω αυτου, και θελω αφαιρεσει το μαλλιον μου και το λιναριον μου, τα οποια ειχε δια να σκεπαζη την γυμνωσιν αυτης.

10 Και τωρα θελω αποκαλυψει την ακαθαρσιαν αυτης εμπροσθεν των εραστων αυτης, και ουδεις θελει λυτρωσει αυτην εκ της χειρος μου.

11 Και θελω καταπαυσει πασαν την ευφροσυνην αυτης, τας εορτας αυτης, τας νεομηνιας αυτης και τα σαββατα αυτης και πασας τας πανηγυρεις αυτης.

12 Και θελω αφανισει τας αμπελους αυτης και τας συκας αυτης, περι των οποιων ειπε, Μισθωματα μου ειναι ταυτα, τα οποια μοι εδωκαν οι ερασται μου· και θελω καταστησει αυτας δασος, και τα θηρια του αγρου θελουσι κατατρωγει αυτας.

13 Και θελω επισκεφθη επ' αυτην τας ημερας των Βααλειμ, καθ ' ας εθυμιαζεν εις αυτους και εστολιζετο με τα ενωτια αυτης και τα περιδεραια αυτης και επορευετο κατοπιν των εραστων αυτης, εμε δε ελησμονησε, λεγει Κυριος.

14 Δια τουτο, ιδου, εγω θελω εφελκυσει αυτην και θελω φερει αυτην εις την ερημον και θελω λαλησει προς την καρδιαν αυτης.

15 Και εκειθεν θελω δωσει εις αυτην τους αμπελωνας αυτης και την κοιλαδα του Αχωρ δια θυραν ελπιδος· και θελει ψαλλει εκει ως εν ταις ημεραις της νεοτητος αυτης και ως εν τη ημερα της αναβασεως αυτης απο γης Αιγυπτου.

16 Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη, λεγει Κυριος, θελεις με καλεσει, Ο ανηρ μου· και δεν θελεις με καλεσει πλεον, Ο Βααλ μου·

17 διοτι θελω αφαιρεσει τα ονοματα των Βααλειμ απο του στοματος αυτης και δεν θελουσιν αναφερεσθαι πλεον τα ονοματα αυτων.

18 Και εν τη ημερα εκεινη θελω καμει διαθηκην υπερ αυτων προς τα θηρια του αγρου και προς τα πετεινα του ουρανου και τα ερπετα της γης· τοξον δε και ρομφαιαν και πολεμον θελω συντριψει εκ της γης και θελω κατοικισει αυτους εν ασφαλεια.

19 Και θελω σε μνηστευθη εις εμαυτον εις τον αιωνα· και θελω σε μνηστευθη εις εμαυτον εν δικαιοσυνη και εν κρισει και εν ελεει και εν οικτιρμοις·

20 και θελω σε μνηστευθη εις εμαυτον εν πιστει· και θελεις γνωρισει τον Κυριον.

21 Και εν εκεινη τη ημερα θελω αποκριθη, λεγει Κυριος, θελω αποκριθη προς τους ουρανους, και αυτοι θελουσιν αποκριθη προς την γην·

22 και η γη θελει αποκριθη προς τον σιτον και τον οινον και το ελαιον· και ταυτα θελουσιν αποκριθη προς τον Ιεζραελ.

23 Και θελω σπειρει αυτην δι' εμαυτον επι της γης· και θελω ελεησει την ουκ ηλεημενην· και θελω ειπει προς τον ου λαον μου, Λαος μου εισαι· και αυτοι θελουσιν ειπει, Θεος μου εισαι.

6432. 'The blessings of the breasts' means with affections for goodness and truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'the breasts' as affections for goodness and truth. 'The breasts' means those affections because the breasts communicate with the generative organs, and for that reason they too belong to the province of conjugial love (regarding that province see 5050-5062). Now conjugial love corresponds to the heavenly marriage, which is a marriage of goodness and truth (for conjugial love comes down from that marriage, see 2618, 2728, 2729, 2803, 3132, 4434, 4835, 6179), and therefore 'the breasts' means affections for goodness and truth. In addition they derive that meaning from the fact that the breasts are what feed infants and so mean, through the affection that goes with breast-feeding, conjugial love when joined to the love of offspring.

[2] The same affections are also meant by 'the breasts' in Isaiah,

You will suck the milk of nations, and the breasts of kings you will suck. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron silver. Isaiah 60:16-17.

'Sucking the breasts of kings' stands for good obtained from truth, for by 'kings' truths are meant, 1672, 2015, 2069, 3009, 3670, 4575, 4581, 4966, 5044, 5068, 6148. 'The milk of nations' and 'the breasts of kings' plainly mean some profoundly spiritual matter, for those words would otherwise be meaningless. The fact that goodness and truth are meant is clear from the words that follow, which are 'Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron silver'; for 'bronze' is natural good, 425, 1551, and 'gold' celestial good, 113, 1551, 1552, 5658; 'iron' is natural truth, 425, 426, and 'silver' spiritual truth, 1551, 2954, 5658, 6112.

[3] In Ezekiel,

As regards increase, I gave you to be like the seed of the field, out of which you grew up and matured and reached full beauty; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Ezekiel 16:7.

This refers to Jerusalem, which here means the Ancient spiritual Church. 'Breasts that were formed' stands for interior affections for goodness and truth, 'your hair had grown for exterior affections belonging to the natural - 'hair' being the natural as regards truth, see 3301, 5247, 5569-5573. These words plainly contain a spiritual sense which is not visible in the letter, for without that sense why would it say of Jerusalem that its breasts were formed and its hair had grown?

[4] In the same prophet,

Two women, the daughters of one mother, committed whoredom in Egypt. In their youth they committed whoredom; there their breasts were squeezed, and there they contemplated their virgin busts. Ezekiel 23:2-3, 8, 21.

This passage in Ezekiel states that the two women are Jerusalem and Samaria, by whom Churches are meant in the internal sense. The statement that in their youth they committed whoredom with Egypt means that they falsified the truths of the Church by their use of factual knowledge - 'committing whoredom' is falsifying truths, see 2466, 4865, and 'Egypt' is factual knowledge, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 5700, 5702. Consequently 'their breasts were squeezed' stands for affections for goodness and truth that became perverted through falsifications. The fact that the women's whoredom and the squeezing of their breasts mean such things can be seen by those who are prepared to look into what is meant in the description of those women.

[5] In Hosea,

Contend with your mother, let her remove her whoredoms from her sight, 1 and her adulteries from between her breasts, lest perhaps I strip her naked, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst. Hosea 2:1, 3.

'Mother' here stands for the Church, 289, 2691, 2717, 3703, 4257, 5581, whoredoms' for falsifications of truth, 2466, 4865, 'adulteries' for adulterations of good, 2466, 2729, 3399. Consequently 'adulteries from between her breasts' stands for adulterated affections for goodness and truth, 'stripping naked' for depriving of all truth, 1073, 4958, 5437, 'making like a wilderness, setting like a dry land, and slaying with thirst' for the annihilation of all truth.

[6] In the same prophet,

Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts. Hosea 9:14.

'Dry breasts' stands for affections for neither truth nor good. In Isaiah,

O women without anxiety, stand still, hear My voice; O confident daughters, perceive My speech with your ears. Strip and make yourself bare, and gird [sackcloth] around your waist 2 - people beating themselves on their breasts for the fields of unmixed wine, and the fruitful vine. Isaiah 32:9, 11-12.

'Daughters' stands for affections, 2362, 3024, 3963, 'being stripped bare' for being deprived of truth, 1073, 4958, 5433, 'girding [sackcloth] around one's waist' for suffering grief over good that has been lost, 'beating on breasts' for suffering grief over the good of truth that has been lost. Since these things are meant, it also says 'for the fields of unmixed wine, and the fruitful vine'; for 'the field' is the Church in respect of good, thus the Church's good, 2971, 3196, 3310, 3766, and 'vine' is the spiritual Church, and therefore the good of truth, 5113, 6375, 6376.

[7] In the Book of Revelation,

I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe, and surrounded by a golden girdle around the breasts. Revelation 1:12-13.

'Golden lampstands' are truths of good, 'the Son of Man' is Divine Truth, 'surrounded by a golden girdle around the breasts' the good of love. Anyone may deduce from the holiness of the Word that the things John saw concealed within themselves realities such as belong to the Lord's kingdom and His Church; for what holiness would there be in making predictions about kingdoms in the world? From this one may recognize that they are heavenly things that are meant by 'lampstands' and by 'the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe, and surrounded by a golden girdle around the breasts'.

[8] In Luke,

A certain woman lifted up her voice out of the crowd; 3 she said about Jesus, Blessed is the womb that carried You, and the breasts that You sucked. But Jesus said, Rather than that, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and keep it. Luke 11:27-28.

The Lord's reply shows what 'blessed is the womb' and what 'the breasts' mean - 'those who hear the Word of God and keep it', thus affections for truth which exist with those who hear the Word or God, and affections for good which exist with those who keep it, that is, put it into practice.

Genesis第25章

学习

   

1 Abraham took another wife, and her name was Keturah.

2 She bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

3 Jokshan became the father of Sheba, and Dedan. The sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

4 The sons of Midian: Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.

5 Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac,

6 but to the sons of Abraham's concubines, Abraham gave gifts. He sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, to the east country.

7 These are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred seventy-five years.

8 Abraham gave up the spirit, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

9 Isaac and Ishmael, his sons, buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron, the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre,

10 the field which Abraham purchased of the children of Heth. Abraham was buried there with Sarah, his wife.

11 It happened after the death of Abraham that God blessed Isaac, his son. Isaac lived by Beer Lahai Roi.

12 Now this is the history of the generations of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's handmaid, bore to Abraham.

13 These are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to the order of their birth: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebaioth, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

14 Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

15 Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their villages, and by their encampments: twelve princes, according to their nations.

17 These are the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred thirty-seven years. He gave up the spirit and died, and was gathered to his people.

18 They lived from Havilah to Shur that is before Egypt, as you go toward Assyria. He lived opposite all his relatives.

19 This is the history of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son. Abraham became the father of Isaac.

20 Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Paddan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian, to be his wife.

21 Isaac entreated Yahweh for his wife, because she was barren. Yahweh was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

22 The children struggled together within her. She said, "If it be so, why do I live?" She went to inquire of Yahweh.

23 Yahweh said to her, "Two nations are in your womb. Two peoples will be separated from your body. The one people will be stronger than the other people. The elder will serve the younger."

24 When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.

25 The first came out red all over, like a hairy garment. They named him Esau.

26 After that, his brother came out, and his hand had hold on Esau's heel. He was named Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

27 The boys grew. Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

28 Now Isaac loved Esau, because he ate his venison. Rebekah loved Jacob.

29 Jacob boiled stew. Esau came in from the field, and he was famished.

30 Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

31 Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright."

32 Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?"

33 Jacob said, "Swear to me first." He swore to him. He sold his birthright to Jacob.

34 Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. He ate and drank, rose up, and went his way. So Esau despised his birthright.
