1 αυται δε αι γενεσεις των υιων νωε σημ χαμ ιαφεθ και εγενηθησαν αυτοις υιοι μετα τον κατακλυσμον

2 υιοι ιαφεθ γαμερ και μαγωγ και μαδαι και ιωυαν και ελισα και θοβελ και μοσοχ και θιρας

3 και υιοι γαμερ ασχαναζ και ριφαθ και θοργαμα

4 και υιοι ιωυαν ελισα και θαρσις κιτιοι ροδιοι

5 εκ τουτων αφωρισθησαν νησοι των εθνων εν τη γη αυτων εκαστος κατα γλωσσαν εν ταις φυλαις αυτων και εν τοις εθνεσιν αυτων

6 υιοι δε χαμ χους και μεσραιμ φουδ και χανααν

7 υιοι δε χους σαβα και ευιλα και σαβαθα και ρεγμα και σαβακαθα υιοι δε ρεγμα σαβα και δαδαν

8 χους δε εγεννησεν τον νεβρωδ ουτος ηρξατο ειναι γιγας επι της γης

9 ουτος ην γιγας κυνηγος εναντιον κυριου του θεου δια τουτο ερουσιν ως νεβρωδ γιγας κυνηγος εναντιον κυριου

10 και εγενετο αρχη της βασιλειας αυτου βαβυλων και ορεχ και αρχαδ και χαλαννη εν τη γη σεννααρ

11 εκ της γης εκεινης εξηλθεν ασσουρ και ωκοδομησεν την νινευη και την ροωβωθ πολιν και την χαλαχ

12 και την δασεμ ανα μεσον νινευη και ανα μεσον χαλαχ αυτη η πολις η μεγαλη

13 και μεσραιμ εγεννησεν τους λουδιιμ και τους ενεμετιιμ και τους λαβιιμ και τους νεφθαλιιμ

14 και τους πατροσωνιιμ και τους χασλωνιιμ οθεν εξηλθεν εκειθεν φυλιστιιμ και τους καφθοριιμ

15 χανααν δε εγεννησεν τον σιδωνα πρωτοτοκον και τον χετταιον

16 και τον ιεβουσαιον και τον αμορραιον και τον γεργεσαιον

17 και τον ευαιον και τον αρουκαιον και τον ασενναιον

18 και τον αραδιον και τον σαμαραιον και τον αμαθι και μετα τουτο διεσπαρησαν αι φυλαι των χαναναιων

19 και εγενοντο τα ορια των χαναναιων απο σιδωνος εως ελθειν εις γεραρα και γαζαν εως ελθειν σοδομων και γομορρας αδαμα και σεβωιμ εως λασα

20 ουτοι υιοι χαμ εν ταις φυλαις αυτων κατα γλωσσας αυτων εν ταις χωραις αυτων και εν τοις εθνεσιν αυτων

21 και τω σημ εγενηθη και αυτω πατρι παντων των υιων εβερ αδελφω ιαφεθ του μειζονος

22 υιοι σημ αιλαμ και ασσουρ και αρφαξαδ και λουδ και αραμ και καιναν

23 και υιοι αραμ ως και ουλ και γαθερ και μοσοχ

24 και αρφαξαδ εγεννησεν τον καιναν και καιναν εγεννησεν τον σαλα σαλα δε εγεννησεν τον εβερ

25 και τω εβερ εγενηθησαν δυο υιοι ονομα τω ενι φαλεκ οτι εν ταις ημεραις αυτου διεμερισθη η γη και ονομα τω αδελφω αυτου ιεκταν

26 ιεκταν δε εγεννησεν τον ελμωδαδ και τον σαλεφ και ασαρμωθ και ιαραχ

27 και οδορρα και αιζηλ και δεκλα

28 και αβιμεηλ και σαβευ

29 και ουφιρ και ευιλα και ιωβαβ παντες ουτοι υιοι ιεκταν

30 και εγενετο η κατοικησις αυτων απο μασση εως ελθειν εις σωφηρα ορος ανατολων

31 ουτοι υιοι σημ εν ταις φυλαις αυτων κατα γλωσσας αυτων εν ταις χωραις αυτων και εν τοις εθνεσιν αυτων

32 αυται αι φυλαι υιων νωε κατα γενεσεις αυτων κατα τα εθνη αυτων απο τουτων διεσπαρησαν νησοι των εθνων επι της γης μετα τον κατακλυσμον

1188. 'Nineveh' means falsities contained in those teachings, as do 'Rehoboth and Calah' though falsities from a different source. This is clear from the meaning of 'Nineveh' in the Word, dealt with below. Falsities of this kind arise from three sources. The first source is the illusions of the senses - when the understanding, being in obscurity, is unenlightened - and also ignorance. This is the source of the falsity meant by 'Nineveh'. The second source is the same, but with some predominating desire present, for innovation or pre-eminence. This is the source of the falsities meant by Rehoboth. And the third is that of the will, and so of evil desires. In this case people are unwilling to acknowledge anything as true except that which is favorable to evil desires. This is the source of the falsities called Calah. All of these falsities arise through Asshur, or reasonings concerning the truths and goods of faith.

[2] That 'Nineveh' means falsities arising from the illusions of the senses when the understanding, being in obscurity, is unenlightened, and also from ignorance, is clear in the case of Jonah, who was sent to Nineveh, a city that was pardoned because they were such. It is clear also from the facts recorded in the Book of Jonah regarding Nineveh, which will in the Lord's Divine mercy be discussed elsewhere. Though the details there are historical they are nevertheless prophetical, embodying and representing such arcana, in the way every other historical part of the Word does.

[3] Similarly in Isaiah, when the king of Asshur is referred to as remaining in Nineveh, and, when he bowed down in the house of Nisroch his god, is referred to as slain by his sons with a sword, Isaiah 37:37-38. Although these details are historical they are nevertheless prophetical, embodying and representing arcana of a like nature. 'Nineveh' in this case means external worship that has falsities within it which, being idolatrous, 'is slain by his sons with a sword', 'sons' meaning falsities, as shown already. 'A sword' is the punishment of falsity, as everywhere else in the Word. In Zephaniah also,

Jehovah will stretch out His hand over the north, and will destroy Asshur, and He will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like a desert. Flocks will lie down in the midst of her, every wild beast of that nation. The spoonbill also and the duck will lodge in its pomegranates. 1 A voice will sing in the window, vastation will be on the threshold, for her cedar has been laid bare. Zephaniah 2:13-14.

This describes Nineveh, though in the prophetical style, and falsity itself meant by 'Nineveh'. Because that falsity is worshipped it is called 'the north, a wild beast of the nation, the spoonbill and the duck in pomegranates' and is expressed as 'a voice singing in the window and a cedar laid bare', which is intellectual truth. Every one of these expressions is used to mean such falsity.

脚注:

1. The original Hebrew word is thought to describe capitals shaped like pomegranates.
