413. GENESIS CAPUT XII.
Versus Genesis 12:1-8; Institutio Ecclesiae Israeliticae et Judaicae quae fuit ab Ebero, unde vocata est Ecclesia Hebraea, et institutio prima ejus ab Abramo qui ii, terram Canaanem ire jussus est, quia ibi omnia loca, tum circumcirca illa ex Antiquissimae Ecclesiae hominibus significationes spirituales sortita sunt, quae nominarentur in novo Verbo, quod apud illos conscriberetur, et in quo illa loca nominarentur.
[Genesis 12:9-20]; Instructio prima ejus, quae est naturalis hominis per scientias, quae sunt "Aegyptus," in qua "Abram."}
This Latin text was written by Swedenborg in 1761. It was first printed 12 years after Swedenborg's death, in 1784. An 1860 printing was edited by Tafel, probably by the Swedenborg Society in London (swedenborg.org.uk). We're not sure of the provenance of this text, and are researching it further. We received most of this text from the NewSearch project of the Academy of the New Church (brynathyn.edu), and the front matter courtesy of the Heavenly Doctrines Publishing Foundation (heavenlydoctrinepublishing.org).
