1 Anomis dienomis karalius Amrafelis iš Šinaro, karalius Arjochas iš Elasaro, Elamo karalius Kedorlaomeras ir Goimo karalius Tidalas

2 pradėjo karą su Sodomos karaliumi Bera, Gomoros karaliumi Birša, Admos karaliumi Šinabu, Ceboimo karaliumi Šemeberu ir karaliumi Belos, dar vadinamo Coaru.

3 Visi šitie, sudarę sąjungą, ėjo į Sidimo slėnį, kur dabar yra Druskos jūra.

4 Dvylika metų jie tarnavo Kedorlaomeriui, o tryliktaisiais metais sukilo.

5 Keturioliktaisiais metais atėjo Kedorlaomeris ir jo sąjungininkai. Jie sumušė refajus Aštarot Karnaime, zūzus Hame, emus Šave Kirjataimo lygumoje

6 ir horus Seyro kalne iki El Parano, kuris siekia dykumą.

7 Paskui jie atėjo į En Mišpatą, tai yra Kadešą, ir nusiaubė visą amalekiečių kraštą ir amoritus, kurie gyveno Hacecon Tamaroje.

8 Tada išėjo Sodomos, Gomoros, Admos, Ceboimo ir Belos karaliai ir išsirikiavo kovai Sidimo slėnyje:

9 prieš Elamo karalių Kedorlaomerį, Goimo karalių Tidalą, Šinaro karalių Amrafelį ir Elasaro karalių Arjochą­keturi karaliai prieš penkis.

10 Sidimo slėnis buvo pilnas dervos duobių. Bėgdami Sodomos ir Gomoros karaliai įkrito į jas, o likusieji pabėgo į kalnus.

11 Laimėtojai, pasigrobę visą Sodomos bei Gomoros turtą ir visas atsargas, nuėjo.

12 Jie taip pat paėmė Abromo brolio sūnų Lotą, kuris gyveno Sodomoje, ir jo turtą.

13 Vienas iš pabėgusiųjų atėjęs pranešė tai Abromui, hebrajui, gyvenančiam amorito Mamrės ąžuolyne; Mamrė ir jo broliai Eškolas ir Aneras buvo Abromo sąjungininkai.

14 Abromas išgirdęs, kad jo brolio sūnus buvo išvestas į nelaisvę, apginklavo tris šimtus aštuoniolika savo išlavintų tarnų, gimusių jo namuose, ir vijosi priešą iki Dano.

15 Jis, padalinęs savo būrį, užpuolė juos nakčia, sumušė ir vijosi juos ligi Hobos, kuri yra į kairę nuo Damasko,

16 ir atsiėmė jų pagrobtą turtą, Lotą ir jo turtą, moteris ir žmones.

17 Kai Abromas sugrįžo, nugalėjęs Kedorlaomerį ir karalius, kurie buvo su juo, Sodomos karalius išėjo jo pasitikti į Šavės slėnį­Karaliaus slėnį.

18 Melchizedekas, Salemo karalius, atnešė duonos ir vyno. Jis buvo aukščiausiojo Dievo kunigas.

19 Jis laimino jį, sakydamas: “Tebūna Abromas palaimintas aukščiausiojo Dievo, dangaus ir žemės valdovo!

20 Tebūna šlovinamas aukščiausiasis Dievas, kuris atidavė tavo priešus į tavo rankas!” Ir Abromas davė jam dešimtinę nuo visko.

21 Sodomos karalius tarė Abromui: “Atiduok man žmones, o turtą pasilaikyk!”

22 Bet Abromas tarė Sodomos karaliui: “Aš, pakėlęs ranką, prisiekiu aukščiausiuoju Dievu, dangaus ir žemės valdovu:

23 nei siūlo galo, nei kurpių dirželio, nei ko nors kito, kas tau priklauso, aš neimsiu, kad nesakytum: ‘Aš padariau Abromą turtingą!’

24 Aš nieko neimsiu, išskyrus tai, ką suvalgė jaunuoliai ir kas priklauso vyrams: Anerui, Eškolui ir Mamrei, kurie ėjo su manimi. Jie tepasiima savo dalį”.

1610. That 'I will make your seed as the dust of the earth' means being multiplied beyond measure is clear without explanation. Here it is said that his seed would be made as 'the dust of the earth', in other parts of the Word as 'the dust of the sea', and in yet other parts as 'the stars of heaven'. Each of these phrases has its own particular meaning. 'Dust of the earth' has regard to those things that are celestial, for, as shown already, 'the earth' means the celestial aspect of love; 'dust of the sea' has regard to those things that are spiritual, for 'the sea', as has also been shown, means the spiritual aspect of love; while 'as the stars of heaven' means both but in a higher degree. And because these things cannot be numbered they therefore became common expressions to describe growth and multiplication beyond measure.

[2] The statement that his seed, that is, the faith that is the expression of love, or simply love, was to be multiplied beyond measure means in the highest sense the Lord, and in particular His Human Essence, for the Lord as regards the Human Essence is called 'the seed of the woman', dealt with in 256. When the Lord's Human Essence is meant, the infinite celestial and spiritual is understood by the words 'multiplied beyond measure'; but when faith that is the expression of charity, or simply charity, among the human race is meant by 'the seed', the multiplication without measure of that seed in everyone who leads a charitable life is understood. Such multiplication takes place in the next life with everyone who leads a charitable life. With him the multiplication of charity and of the faith deriving from it, together with their associated happiness, is so great that one can only describe it as being beyond measure and defying description. When the human race is meant by 'the seed', the multiplication of this in the Lord's kingdom is also beyond measure - not only from those who are inside the Church, and their children, but also from those who are outside the Church, and their children. Consequently the Lord's kingdom or heaven is boundless. That boundlessness will in the Lord's Divine mercy be spoken of elsewhere.

Genesis第13章

学习

   

1 Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

3 He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

5 Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

6 The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

7 There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

8 Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

9 Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

10 Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

11 So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

12 Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

13 Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

14 Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

15 for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

16 I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

17 Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

18 Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
