AC.340, 창4:1, '아담이 그의 아내 하와와 동침하매' (AC.338-340)

1절, 아담이 그의 아내 하와와 동침하매 하와가 임신하여 가인을 낳고 이르되 내가 여호와로 말미암아 득남하였다 하니라 And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man [vir], Jehovah.

That the words “I have gotten a man, Jehovah” signify that with such as are called “Cain” faith is recognized and acknowledged as a thing by itself, is evident from what was said at the beginning of this chapter. Previously, they had been as it were ignorant of what faith is, because they had a perception of all the things of faith. But when they began to make a distinct doctrine of faith, they took the things they had a perception of and reduced them into doctrine, calling it “I have gotten a man, Jehovah,” as if they had found out something new; and thus what was before inscribed on the heart became a mere matter of knowing. In ancient times they gave every new thing a name, and in this way set forth the things involved in the names. Thus the signification of the name Ishmael is explained by the saying, “Jehovah hath heard her affliction;” (Gen. 16:11)

 

여호와의 사자가 또 그에게 이르되 네가 임신하였은즉 아들을 낳으리니 그 이름을 이스마엘이라 하라 이는 여호와께서 네 고통을 들으셨음이니라 (창16:11)

 

that of Reuben, by the expression, “Jehovah hath looked upon my affliction;” (Gen. 29:32)

 

레아가 임신하여 아들을 낳고 그 이름을 르우벤이라 하여 이르되 여호와께서 나의 괴로움을 돌보셨으니 이제는 내 남편이 나를 사랑하리로다 하였더라 (창29:32)

 

the name Simeon, by the saying, “Jehovah hath heard that I was less dear;” (Gen. 29:33)

 

그가 다시 임신하여 아들을 낳고 이르되 여호와께서 내가 사랑받지 못함을 들으셨으므로 내게 이 아들도 주셨도다 하고 그의 이름을 시므온이라 하였으며 (창29:33)

 

and that of Judah by, “This time will I praise Jehovah;” (Gen. 29:35)

 

그가 또 임신하여 아들을 낳고 이르되 내가 이제는 여호와를 찬송하리로다 하고 이로 말미암아 그가 그의 이름을 유다라 하였고 그의 출산이 멈추었더라 (창29:35)

 

and an altar built by Moses was called, “Jehovah my banner.” (Exod. 17:15)

 

모세가 제단을 쌓고 그 이름을 여호와 닛시라 하고 (출17:15)

 

In like manner the doctrine of faith is here denominated “I have gotten a man, Jehovah,” or “Cain.”
