Genesis

<THe beginning>

Chapter 1

1  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

2  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

3  And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

4  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.

5  Gos called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning-the first day.

6  And God said, Let there be an expansebetween the waters to saparate water from water."

7  So God made the expanse and separated the water above it. And it was so.

8  God called the expanse "sky" And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day.

9  And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gatherered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so.

10  God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it according totheir kinds. And God saw that it was good.

13  And there was evening, and there was morning -the third day.

14  And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years,

15  and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so.

16  God made two great lights- the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.

17  God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth,

18  to govern the day and the night, and to saparate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.

19  And there was evening, and there was morning- the fourth day.

20  And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky."

21  So God created the great creatures of the sea anf every living and moving thing with which the water teem, according to their kinds,and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

22   God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the reath."

23  And there was evening, and there ws morning- the fifth day.

24  And God said, "let the ater teem with living creatures acording to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move allong the ground, and wild animals,each according to its kind." And it was so.

25  God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestoch accordinf to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

26  Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over he fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27  So God created man in hid own image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them.

28  God blessed them and said to them, " Be fruitful and increase in number," fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creatures that moves on the ground."

29  Then God said, "I give you every sedbearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.

30  And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground- everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

31  God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning- the sixth day.

하나님이 "Let there be light" 하면 "There was light"

하나님이 명령하면 "It was so.".........

하나님의 입에서 나오는 말씀 그 자체가 창조의 능력이시다. 

만물은 하나님의 말씀에 머뭇거리지도 않고 즉시 순종한다.

그리고 "God saw that it was good !"

 

나는 주의 말씀에 즉각 순종할 때도 있고, 머뭇거릴때도 많다.

하나님의 생각이 내 생각과 상충될 때 나는 피를 말리는 기도를 한다.

그 기도의 시간은 나의 생각을 내려놓는 시간이다. 그것이 그렇게 힘들 때가 있다.

나는 하늘의 별들보다......빛보다.....가축들과 새들과 물고기와 식물들보다 순종하는 부분에서 나약하다.

내가 즉각 순종할 때에 주님이 내게도 "You are good !" 하실 것이다.

 

내가 갖고 있는 성경의 글씨가 너무 작아서 눈이 아프고, 영어타이핑 속도가 너무 느리다.

1장 쓰는데 너무 긴 시간을 사용한다. 자꾸 쓰다보면 영타는 좀 빨라지려나.

다음엔 미리 몇 장을 글씨를 크게 빼서 사용해야겠다.

 

<말씀을 살아가기>

1. 주님의 마음을 느끼며, 나도 내 삶에 대해 입으로 명령하자.

   "Let there be health." "Let there be happy." "Let there be...."

 

2. 나도 주님의 마음을 느껴보자. 내 삶에 일어나는 모든 것을 향해 "It was good." 하자.

Chapter 2

 

1  Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

2  By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so the seventh day he rested from all his work.

3  And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

 

<Adam and Eve>

4  This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created. When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens-

5  and ne shrub of field had yet appeared on the earth and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to work the ground,

6  but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground-

7  the Lord God fromed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into is nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

8  Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed.

9  And the Lord God made all kind of trees grow out of the ground-trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food.  In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowlege of good and evil.

10  A river watering the graden flowed from Eden; from there it was separated into four headwaters.

11  The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds thourgh the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold.

12  (The gold of that  land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.)

13  The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds though the entire land of Cush.

14  The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

15  The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eded to work it and take care of it.

16  And the Lord God commanded the man, " You are free to eat from any tree in the graden;

17  but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

18  The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him."

19  Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

20  So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field.

But for Adam no suitable heper was found.

21  So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.

22  Then the LOrd God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

23  The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my fllesh; she shall be called 'woman, for she was taken out of man"

24  For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

25  The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

창세기 2장에는 하나님이 인간을 어떤 존재로 만드셨는지 나온다.

 

첫째, 하나님으로부터 생명의 숨이 넣어져 살아있는 존재

 

모든 성경말씀이 감동을 주지만, 내게 창세기만큼 수많은 상상력과 영감을 불러 일으키는 성경이 또 있을까 ?

하나님의 생명의 숨이 활동하는 살아있는 존재 !

하나님은 물질계에서 육체를 입고 살아보고 싶었을까 ?

지금 내 안에 하나님의 그 숨이 숨 쉬어지고 있다 !

내 숨은 하나님의 숨인가 ? 하나님의 숨이 내 숨인가 ?

태고부터 ,아니 영원부터 그분과 연결된게 인간이 아니던가 !

어휘력의 한계를 난 지금 절감하고 있다. 

 

 

둘째, 하나님의 창조물들에게 이름을 붙여주는 존재

 

whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

아담이 부르는 것이 그것의 이름이 되었다.

하나님께서는 왜 자신의 과업(창조물)에 대해 이름짓는 것을 아담에게 주었던 것일까 ?

고대에 이름을 짓는다는 것은 그것의 정체성을 안다는 것. 그것을 소유하고 부릴 수 있다는 것.

잠시 아담에게 이 놀라운 성과를 돌린 하나님의 마음을 헤아려보자.

자신이 창조한 세계, 보시기에 좋았던 그 창조물들의 지배자로 아담을 세웠던 하나님의 마음을....

아담이란 존재는 적어도 이 지구계에서 최고급으로 만들어졌다.

이 구절에서 나의 상상력은 중국무협영화에 나오는 신선들의 차원을 넘어 훨훨 날아오른다.

우리는 타락하기 전 , 원래 엄청난 존재로 지음받았다 !

.

<말씀을 살아가기>

 

1. 숨쉬기를 해보자. 깊은 숨을 쉬며 소중한 마음을 담아 의식해보자. 

하나님의 생명의 호흡이 내 안에 들어갔다 나왔다 하는 숨을 의식해보자.

 

2. 아담처럼 이름을 지어보자. 내 주변의 사물들에게 내가 명하고 싶은대로 이름지어보자.

예를 들면, 오늘 2012. 6. 7일에 대해 "말씀의 멋진세계로 들어간 날" 라고 짓는다든지...

내 앞에 있는 컴퓨터를 향해 "나의 충실한 지식창고, 짐"이라고 이름 지을 수 있다.

 

3. 숨을 내쉬며 소리쳐보자.

"난 하나님의 형상으로 지어졌다 !"

"하나님의 숨이 내 안에 살아움직이는 존재이다!"

"난 피조물들에게 이름을 지어주는 존재이다 !"

어때 ? 멋진 삶이 예감되지 않는가 !
