1 Och Gud välsignade Noa och hans söner och sade till dem: »Varen fruktsamma och föröken eder, och uppfyllen jorden.

2 Och må fruktan och förskräckelse för eder komma över alla djur på jorden och alla fåglar under himmelen; jämte allt som krälar på marken och alla fiskar i havet vare de givna i eder hand.

3 Allt som rör sig och har liv skolen I hava till föda; såsom jag har givit eder gröna örter, så giver jag eder allt detta.

4 Kött som har i sig sin själ, det är sitt blod, skolen I dock icke äta.

5 Men edert eget blod, vari eder själ är, skall jag utkräva. Jag skall utkräva det av vilket djur det vara må. Jag skall ock av den ena människan utkräva den andres själ;

6 den som utgjuter människoblod, hans blod skall av människor bliva utgjutet, ty Gud har gjort människan till sin avbild.

7 Och varen I fruktsamma och föröken eder; växen till på jorden och föröken eder på den.»

8 Ytterligare sade Gud till Noa och till hans söner med honom:

9 »Se, jag vill upprätta ett förbund med eder, och med edra efterkommande efter eder,

10 och med alla levande varelser som I haven hos eder: fåglar, boskapsdjur och alla vilda djur hos eder, alla jordens djur som hava gått ut ur arken.

11 Jag vill upprätta ett förbund med eder: härefter skall icke mer ske att allt kött utrotas genom flodens vatten; ingen flod skall mer komma och fördärva jorden

12 Och Gud sade: »Detta skall vara tecknet till det förbund som jag gör mellan mig och eder, jämte alla levande varelser hos eder, för eviga tider:

13 min båge sätter jag i skyn; den skall vara tecknet till förbundet mellan mig och jorden.

14 Och när jag härefter låter skyar stiga upp över jorden och bågen då synes i skyn,

15 skall jag tänka på det förbund som har blivit slutet mellan mig och eder, jämte alla levande varelser, vad slags kött det vara må; och vattnet skall då icke mer bliva en flod som fördärvar allt kött.

16 När alltså bågen synes i skyn och jag ser på den, skall jag tänka på det eviga förbund som har blivit slutet mellan Gud och alla levande varelser, vad slags kött det vara må på jorden

17 Så sade nu Gud till Noa: »Detta skall vara tecknet till det förbund som jag har upprättat mellan mig och allt köttjorden

18 Noas söner, som gingo ut ur arken, voro Sem, Ham och Jafet; men Ham var Kanaans fader.

19 Dessa tre voro Noas söner och från dessa hava alla jordens folk utgrenat sig.

20 Och Noa var en åkerman och var den förste som planterade en vingård.

21 Men när han drack av vinet, blev han drucken och låg blottad i sitt tält.

22 Och Ham, Kanaans fader, såg då sin faders blygd och berättade det för sina båda bröder, som voro utanför.

23 Men Sem och Jafet togo en mantel och lade den på sina skuldror, båda tillsammans, och gingo så baklänges in och täckte över sin faders blygd; de höllo därvid sina ansikten bortvända, så att de icke sågo sin faders blygd.

24 När sedan Noa vaknade upp från ruset och fick veta vad hans yngste son hade gjort honom, sade han:

25 »Förbannad vare Kanaan, en trälars träl vare han åt sina bröder

26 Ytterligare sade han: »Välsignad vare HERREN, Sems Gud, och Kanaan vare deras träl!

27 Gud utvidge Jafet, han tage sin boning i Sems hyddor, och Kanaan vare deras träl.»

28 Och Noa levde efter floden tre hundra femtio år;

29 alltså blev Noas hela ålder nio hundra femtio år; därefter dog han.

1003. That 'not eating flesh with its soul, its blood' means not mixing together unholy things with holy is now clear from what has been stated above. Unholy things are in no way mixed with holy through somebody's eating blood along with the flesh, as also the Lord clearly teaches in Matthew,

Not what goes into the mouth renders a man unclean, but what comes out of the mouth, this renders the man unclean. For the things which come out of the mouth come out of the heart. Matthew 15:11, 17-20.

It was prohibited in the Jewish Church however because in heaven, as stated, eating blood along with the flesh in those days represented profanation. Everything that took place in that Church was converted in heaven into corresponding representatives. Blood in particular was converted into that which is holy and celestial, while flesh, with the exception of that offered in sacrifices, was converted into that which is unholy, because, as has been shown, it meant evil desires. The mere eating of the two in those times was converted into a mixing together of what is holy and of what is unholy. This was why the practice was so strictly forbidden in those days. But after the Lord's Coming when external rites were abolished and so representatives came to an end, such things ceased after that to be converted in heaven into corresponding representatives. For when a man becomes internal, and has been informed concerning internal things, external things are of no importance to him. He is now aware of what holiness really is, namely, charity and faith deriving from it. Things with him which are external he now regards from the viewpoint of charity and faith, that is to say, he looks to see how much charity and faith in the Lord external things contain. This is why since the Lord's Coming heaven has looked at mankind not from the viewpoint of external things but of internal. And if anyone is looked at from the viewpoint of those things that are external it is because he dwells in simplicity, and in innocence and charity within that simplicity. These are present with him from the Lord in external things, that is, in his external worship, though he himself is not actually aware of this.

Genesis第9章

学习

   

1 God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.

2 The fear of you and the dread of you will be on every animal of the earth, and on every bird of the sky. Everything that the ground teems with, and all the fish of the sea are delivered into your hand.

3 Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As the green herb, I have given everything to you.

4 But flesh with its life, its blood, you shall not eat.

5 I will surely require your blood of your lives. At the hand of every animal I will require it. At the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother, I will require the life of man.

6 Whoever sheds man's blood, his blood will be shed by man, for God made man in his own image.

7 Be fruitful and multiply. Bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply in it."

8 God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying,

9 "As for me, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your offspring after you,

10 and with every living creature that is with you: the birds, the livestock, and every animal of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ship, even every animal of the earth.

11 I will establish my covenant with you: all flesh will not be cut off any more by the waters of the flood, neither will there ever again be a flood to destroy the earth."

12 God said, "This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

13 I set my rainbow in the cloud, and it will be for a sign of a covenant between me and the earth.

14 It will happen, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow will be seen in the cloud,

15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

16 The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

17 God said to Noah, "This is the token of the covenant which I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth."

18 The sons of Noah who went forth from the ship were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of Canaan.

19 These three were the sons of Noah, and from these, the whole earth was populated.

20 Noah began to be a farmer, and planted a vineyard.

21 He drank of the wine and got drunk. He was uncovered within his tent.

22 Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

23 Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it on both their shoulders, went in backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backwards, and they didn't see their father's nakedness.

24 Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his youngest son had done to him.

25 He said, "Canaan is cursed. He will be servant of servants to his brothers."

26 He said, "Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant.

27 May God enlarge Japheth. Let him dwell in the tents of Shem. Let Canaan be his servant."

28 Noah lived three hundred fifty years after the flood.

29 All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years, then he died.
