1 DOPO queste cose, avvenne che Iddio provò Abrahamo, e gli disse: Abrahamo. Ed egli disse: Eccomi.

2 E Iddio gli disse: Prendi ora il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico, il qual tu ami, cioè, Isacco; e vattene nella contrada di Moria, ed offeriscilo quivi in olocausto, sopra l’uno di que’ monti, il quale io ti dirò.

3 Abrahamo adunque, levatosi la mattina a buon’ora, mise il basto al suo asino, e prese due suoi servitori seco, ed Isacco, suo figliuolo; e schiappate delle legne per l’olocausto, si levò, e se ne andò al luogo il quale Iddio gli avea detto.

4 Al terzo giorno, Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, e vide quel luogo di lontano.

5 E disse a’ suoi servitori: Restate qui con l’asino; ed io e il fanciullo andremo fin colà, ed adoreremo; poi ritorneremo a voi.

6 Ed Abrahamo prese le legne per l’olocausto, e le mise addosso ad Isacco, suo figliuolo; e prese in mano il fuoco e il coltello; e se ne andarono amendue insieme.

7 Ed Isacco disse ad Abrahamo suo padre: padre mio. Ed egli rispose: Eccomi, figliuol mio. Ed Isacco disse: Ecco il fuoco e le legne; ma dove è l’agnello per l’olocausto?

8 Ed Abrahamo disse: Figliuol mio, Iddio si provvederà d’agnello per l’olocausto. Ed essi se ne andarono amendue insieme.

9 E giunsero al luogo il quale Iddio avea detto ad Abrahamo; ed egli edificò quivi un altare, ed ordinò le legne; e legò Isacco suo figliuolo, e lo mise su l’altare disopra alle legne.

10 Ed Abrahamo stese la mano, e prese il coltello per iscannare il suo figliuolo.

11 Ma l’Angelo del Signore gli gridò dal cielo, e disse: Abrahamo, Abrahamo. Ed egli disse: Eccomi.

12 E l’Angelo gli disse: Non metter la mano addosso al fanciullo, e non fargli nulla; perciocchè ora conosco che tu temi Iddio, poichè tu non mi hai dinegato il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico.

13 Ed Abrahamo alzò gli occhi, e riguardò; ed ecco un montone dietro a lui, rattenuto per le corna ad un cespuglio. Ed Abrahamo andò, e prese quel montone, e l’offerse in olocausto, in luogo del suo figliuolo.

14 Ed Abrahamo nominò quel luogo: Il Signor provvederà. Che è quel che oggi si dice: Nel monte del Signore sarà provveduto.

15 E l’Angelo del Signore gridò ad Abrahamo dal cielo, la secondo volta.

16 E disse: Io giuro per me stesso, dice il Signore, che, poichè tu hai fatto questo e non mi hai dinegato il tuo figliuolo, il tuo unico;

17 io del tutto ti benedirò, e farò moltiplicar grandemente la tua progenie, tal che sarà come le stelle del cielo, e come la rena che è in sul lido del mare; e la tua progenie possederà la porta de’ suoi nemici.

18 E tutte le nazioni della terra saranno benedette nella tua progenie; perciocchè tu hai ubbidito alla mia voce.

19 Poi Abrahamo se ne ritornò a’ suoi servitori. E si levarono, e se ne andarono insieme in Beerseba, ove Abrahamo dimorava.

20 E DOPO queste cose, fu rapportato ad Abrahamo: Ecco, Milca ha anch’essa partoriti figliuoli a Nahor, tuo fratello.

21 Questi furono: Us primogenito di esso, e Buz suo fratello, e Chemuel padre di Aram,

22 e Chesed, ed Hazo, e Pildas, ed Idlaf, e Betuel. Or Betuel generò Rebecca.

23 Milca partorì questi otto a Nahor fratello di Abrahamo.

24 E la concubina di esso, il cui nome era Reuma, partorì anch’essa Tebach, e Gaham, e Tahas, e Maaca.

   


To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.

Arcana Coelestia#2776

2776. 'Offer him as a burnt offering' means that He was to sanctify Himself to the Divine. This is clear from the representation of 'a burnt offering' among the Hebrew nation, and in the Jewish Church, as the holiest act of their worship. There were burnt offerings and there were sacrifices, and as regards what these represented, see 922, 923, 1823, 2180. Sanctifications were effected by means of burnt offerings and sacrifices, and that is why in this verse 'offering a burnt offering' means being sanctified to the Divine. For the Lord sanctified Himself to the Divine, that is, He united the Human to the Divine by means of the conflicts brought about by temptations, and by means of the victories in these, see 1663, 1690, 1692 (end), 1692, 1737, 1787, 1812, 1813, 1820.

[2] It is generally believed at the present day that the burnt offerings and sacrifices were signs of the Lord's passion, and that by His passion the Lord atoned for the iniquities of all. Indeed it is believed that He drew away those iniquities on to Himself, and thus bore them Himself, so that those who believe are made righteous and are saved, if only they think, even in the last hour prior to death, that the Lord suffered on their behalf, no matter how they may have lived throughout the whole course of their lives. But such beliefs are mistaken. The passion of the Cross was the utmost degree of temptation endured by the Lord, by means of which He fully united the Human to the Divine and the Divine to the Human, and by doing this glorified Himself. That union itself is the means by which people possessing faith in Him that is grounded in charity are able to be saved. For the Supreme Divine Itself was no longer able to reach the human race which had removed itself so far away from the celestial things of love, and from the spiritual things of faith, that people did not even recognize them any more, let alone perceive them. Consequently to enable the Supreme Divine to come down to all such as this, the Lord came into the world and united the Human to the Divine within Himself. This union could not have been effected except by means of the very severe conflicts brought about by temptations and by means of victories in these, and at length by means of the final temptation, which was that of the Cross.

[3] As a result of this the Lord is able from the Divine Human to enlighten human minds, even those that are quite remote from the celestial things of love, provided that faith grounded in charity is present in them. For in the next life the Lord appears to celestial angels as the Sun, and to spiritual angels as the Moon, 1053, 1521, 1529, 1530, 2441, 2495 - all the light of heaven flowing from Him. The light of heaven is such that when it enlightens the eyes of spirits and angels it also at the same time enlightens their understanding. This ability to enlighten the understanding also exists inherently within that light, so that the amount of internal light, that is, of understanding, which anyone possesses in heaven is the same as the amount of external light he has. This shows the way in which the light of heaven is different from the light of the world. It is the Lord's Divine Human that enlightens both the eyes and the understanding of those who are spiritual, but this could never be done unless the Lord had united the Human Essence to the Divine Essence. And unless He had united them neither men in the world, nor indeed any spiritual angel in heaven, would any longer have possessed any ability to understand or to perceive that which is good or true. Nor thus would they have possessed any blessedness and happiness at all, nor consequently any salvation at all. From this it becomes clear that the human race could not have been saved unless the Lord had assumed the Human and glorified it.

[4] From what has now been stated anyone may decide for himself the truth or otherwise of the idea that people are saved, no matter how they may have lived, if only they think from some inner emotion that the Lord suffered on their behalf and bore their sins. But in reality the light of heaven received from the Lord's Divine Human is able to reach none except those with whom there exists the good that accompanies faith, that is, who lead charitable lives, or what amounts to the same, who possess conscience. The level itself into which that light can operate, that is, the receptacle for that light, is the good that accompanies faith, which is charity and thus conscience. That those who are spiritual have salvation from the Lord's Divine Human, see 1043, 2661, 2716, 2718.

Genesis第1章

学习

1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2 Now the earth was formless and empty. Darkness was on the surface of the deep. God's Spirit was hovering over the surface of the waters.

3 God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4 God saw the light, and saw that it was good. God divided the light from the darkness.

5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." There was evening and there was morning, one day.

6 God said, "Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters."

7 God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so.

8 God called the expanse "sky." There was evening and there was morning, a second day.

9 God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and let the dry land appear;" and it was so.

10 God called the dry land "earth," and the gathering together of the waters he called "seas." God saw that it was good.

11 God said, "Let the earth put forth grass, herbs yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with its seed in it, on the earth;" and it was so.

12 The earth brought forth grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with its seed in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.

14 God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of sky to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years;

15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of sky to give light on the earth;" and it was so.

16 God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars.

17 God set them in the expanse of sky to give light to the earth,

18 and to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness. God saw that it was good.

19 There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.

20 God said, "Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth in the open expanse of sky."

21 God created the large sea creatures, and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed, after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind. God saw that it was good.

22 God blessed them, saying, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth."

23 There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.

24 God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind, livestock, creeping things, and animals of the earth after their kind;" and it was so.

25 God made the animals of the earth after their kind, and the livestock after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind. God saw that it was good.

26 God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the livestock, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

27 God created man in his own image. In God's image he created him; male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them. God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it. Have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the sky, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

29 God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

30 To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;" and it was so.

31 God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. There was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.
