2866# "这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的"象征另一类被拯救的人。这一解释基于以下几点：
首先，"八"这个数字具有特殊含义。第八天是下一个七天的第一天，因此"八”象征着与之前不同的新事物（参2044节），因此这里的"八"象征另一类人群。这就是为什么特意提到这个数字。
其次，密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生了这些儿子，正如我们在2863和2865节中所解释的，这些话代表那些虽然在教会之外，但因其良善而在兄弟关系中的人。
最后，由于这句话出现在段落的结尾，它不仅重申了前面的含义，还进一步暗示了这些人也将得到救赎。
2866、 “这八个人都是密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的”表示第二类得救者，这从“八”的含义和经上再次说“密迦给亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生的”清楚可知。由于第八天是下一周的第一天，所以“八”表示不同于以前的某种新事物（参看2044节）。因此，它在此表示第二类；正是由于这种含义，经上才加上这个数字。密迦给“亚伯拉罕的兄弟拿鹤生了他们”表示教会之外那些凭良善而处于兄弟情谊的人，如前所示（2863，2865节）。此处这句话因是结论而具有同样的含义，另外加上这一事实：他们得救了。
Potts(1905-1910) 2866
2866. These eight did Milcah bear to Nahor, Abraham's brother. That this signifies a second class of those who are saved, is evident from the signification of "eight;" and from its being again said that "Milcah bare to Nahor, Abraham's brother." Because the eighth day is the first day of the following week, therefore "eight" signifies something that is distinct from what has gone before (see n. 2044); here therefore it denotes another class, and the number was added for the sake of this signification. Milcah's "bearing them to Nahor, Abraham's brother," signifies those out of the church who are in brotherhood from good (as shown above, n. 2863, 2865). Here, being the conclusion, it signifies the same, and in addition the fact that they are saved.
Elliott(1983-1999) 2866
2866. 'These eight Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother' means a second group of people who are saved. This is clear from the meaning of 'eight' and from the repetition of the statement 'Milkah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother'. Since the eighth day is the first day of the following week 'eight' consequently means something distinct and separate from that which has gone before, see 2044. Here therefore it means a second group. It was for the sake of this meaning that this number was added. The fact that 'Milkah bore them to Nahor, Abraham's brother' means people outside the Church who dwell in a brotherly relationship by virtue of good has been shown above in 2863, 2865. And being the concluding statement it has the same meaning, yet with the addition of the fact that they are saved.
Latin(1748-1756) 2866
2866. `Octo illos peperit Milkah Nahori fratri Abrahami': quod significet alteram classem illorum qui salvantur, constat ex significatione `octo,' et quod iterum dicatur quod `Milkah peperit Nahori fratri Abrahami': dies octavus quia primus dies sequentis septimanae, inde `octo' significant aliud quod distinctum est a priore, videatur n. 2044, hic ideo alteram classem; ob quam significationem numerus ille additus est. Quod `peperit Milkah illos Nahori fratri Abrahami' significet illos extra Ecclesiam qui in fraternitate sunt ex bono, supra n. 2863, 2865, ostensum; hic quia clausula est, significat idem ac insuper quod salventur.
