The Thirty-Fifth Chapter
Shows how the Human Tree 1 has spread forth itself in its properties by the children of Noah; and how they were divided and severed at the Tower of Babel in their properties, by the confusion of the Tongues into distinct Nations
1. EVERY tree grows first 2 (after that it shoots out of its pregnant seed) 3 into a stock, afterwards into branches and boughs; and brings forth further out of its ens the blossom and fruit. Thus also we are to understand of the human tree, according to its virtue and manifestation of its hidden wonders of the divine wisdom, which lay hid in the human ens, and put itself forth in time out of each degree of the properties.
2. Adam was the first ens to the grain [or pregnant fruitful seed of mankind], and this same ens, which produced the human life, was in the divine wisdom in the Word of the divine power of the divine understanding. The spirit of God brought this holy ens out of the divine wisdom and lubet into the Verbum Fiat, viz. into the desire of the forming word, viz. into nature; and therein the spirit of God figured the ens of divine wisdom, through the speaking Word, into a formal life; and the nature of the three Principles into a body; into which body (understand the ens of nature) the spirit of God breathed this same figured, shaped, creatural life of divine understanding.
