6285.“又愿他们在地的中间生养众多”表来自至内在部分的一种延伸。这从“中间”的含义清楚可知,“中间”是指至内在部分(参看2940,2973,6068,6084,6103节)。因此,“生养众多”是指一种延伸;因为“众多”所表示的真理从至内在部分如同从一个中心向它的四围部分延伸。它们从它延伸得越远,就越符合天堂的秩序,其状态就越完美。这种状态就是这一部分祝福所表示的:“又愿他们在地的中间生养众多”。
Potts(1905-1910) 6285
6285. And let them grow unto a multitude in the midst of the earth. That this signifies extension from the inmost, is evident from the signification of the "midst," as being the inmost (see n. 2940, 2973, 6068, 6084, 6103). Hence "growing unto a multitude" is extension; for the truths that are signified by a "multitude" extend themselves round about from the inmost, as from a center; and the greater the extension thence is, and the better this is in accordance with heavenly order, so much the more perfect is the state; this is the state which is signified by this part of the blessing: "and let them grow unto a multitude in the midst of the earth."
Elliott(1983-1999) 6285
6285. 'And may they increase into a multitude in the midst of the earth' means an extension from the inmost part. This is clear from the meaning of 'the midst' as the inmost part, dealt with in 1940, 2973, 6068, 6084, 6103. Consequently an increase into a multitude means an extension; for truths, meant by 'a multitude', extend from the inmost part as the centre to parts round about it. For the further they extend from it, and the more they do so in conformity with heavenly order, the greater is their state of perfection. That state is what is meant by this part of the blessing - 'that they may increase into a multitude in the midst of the earth'.
Latin(1748-1756) 6285
6285. `Et crescant ad multitudinem in medio terrae': quod significet extensionem ab intimo, constat a significatione `medii' quod sit intimum, de qua n. 2940, 2973, 6068, 6084, 6103; inde crescentia in multitudinem est extensio; vera enim quae per `multitudinem' significantur, ab intimo ut (c)e centro (t)se circumcirca extendunt; et quo major extensio inde est, et haec quo melius secundum ordinem caelestem, eo perfectior status est; hic status est qui significatur per hoc benedictionis `et crescant ad multitudinem in medio terrae'.
