GEN 14:2 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

14.2 Balæ. HIERON. Hebraice devoratio dicitur. Tradunt Hebræi hanc alibi Salissam dici, et vitulam consternantem, quod tertio terræ motu absorpta sit. Et ex eo tempore quo Sodoma et Gomorrha, Adame et Seboim divino igne sunt subversæ, illa parvula nuncupetur. Segor enim transfertur in parvam, quæ Syra lingua Zoara dicitur. Vallis autem Salinarum, in qua fuerunt putei bituminis, post Dei iram et sulphuris pluviam, in mare Mortuum versa est. quod a Græcis stagnum Asphalti, id est bituminis, dicitur. Mystice. Quatuor reges quinque superant, dum contrariæ potestates quinque sensibus corporis abutentes vitiis illaqueant et captivant. Allegorice. Tales reges superant primum Bara, qui interpretatur malitia vel creatura, et est rex Sodomorum, id est cæcitatis, vel pecudis silentis, cum eis qui in vetusta malitia perseverant, more pecudum cæcitatem libidinis sequi persuadent. Vincunt et Bersa, id est in angustia constitutum, regem Gomorrhæ, id est populi tumentis et seditiosi, cum eos qui curis sæculi angustiantur ac nefas rapinæ agere non formidant, obruunt et prosternunt. Vincunt quoque Sennaab regem Adamæ, id est terrenæ, cum eos qui terrena tantum sapiunt in luxuria permanere hortantur, ut dicant: Comedamus et bibamus, cras enim moriemur I Cor. 15. Vincunt Semeber, qui interpretatur ibi perditio, et est rex Seboim, id est cinguli mæroris, cum per iracundiam et invidiam incautos decipiunt; unde Job 5: Stultum interficit iracundia, parvulum occidit invidia. Regem quoque Bale vincunt, cum pusillanimes in desperationem mittunt; Bale namque interpretatur præcipitatio vel absorbitio: ad hoc maxime diabolus certat ut post lapsum peccati in desperationem mittat.
