137、总的来说，创世记的头三章论述的是被称为“人”的上古教会，从它的初期直到它灭亡时的末期。本章前面部分论述它最兴旺的状态，就是当它是一个属天人的时候；现在则论述那些心系自我的人，以及他们的后代。

[NCE]137. Inner Meaning
THREE chapters of Genesis deal generally with the earliest church (called the human) from its first period to its last, when it died. The earlier part of this chapter tells of its heyday, when it formed a heavenly individual. The current section speaks of that church and its descendants when they ardently sought autonomy.

137. THE INTERNAL SENSE The first three chapters of Genesis treat in general of the Most Ancient Church, which is called "Man" [homo] from its first period to its last, when it perished: the preceding part of this chapter treats of its most flourishing state, when it was a celestial man; here it now treats of those who inclined to their Own, and of their posterity.

137. THE INTERNAL SENSE The first three chapters of Genesis deal in general with the Most Ancient Church, which is called Man, from its earliest down to its final period when it perished. The foregoing section of this chapter dealt with it in its absolute prime when it was a celestial man. The present section deals with those people, and their descendants, who set their heart on the proprium.
