1 Οταν Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε φερη εις την γην, εις την οποιαν υπαγεις δια να κληρονομησης αυτην, και εκδιωξη εθνη πολλα απ' εμπροσθεν σου, τους Χετταιους και τους Γεργεσαιους και τους Αμορραιους και τους Χαναναιους και τους Φερεζαιους και τους Ευαιους και τους Ιεβουσαιους, επτα εθνη μεγαλητερα και δυνατωτερα σου·

2 και οταν Κυριος ο Θεος σου παραδωση αυτους εμπροσθεν σου, θελεις παταξει αυτους· κατα κρατος θελεις εξολοθρευσει αυτους· δεν θελεις καμει συνθηκην μετ' αυτων ουδε θελεις δειξει ελεος προς αυτους·

3 ουδε θελεις συμπενθερευσει μετ' αυτων· την θυγατερα σου δεν θελεις δωσει εις τον υιον αυτου ουδε την θυγατερα αυτου θελεις λαβει εις τον υιον σου·

4 διοτι θελουσιν αποπλανησει τους υιους σου απ' εμου και θελουσι λατρευει αλλους θεους· και θελει εξαφθη η οργη του Κυριου εναντιον σας και παραυτα θελει σε εξολοθρευσει.

5 Αλλ' ουτω θελετε καμει προς αυτους· τους βωμους αυτων θελετε καταστρεψει και τα αγαλματα αυτων θελετε συντριψει και τα αλση αυτων θελετε κατακοψει και τα γλυπτα αυτων θελετε καυσει εν πυρι·

6 επειδη συ εισαι λαος αγιος εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου· σε εξελεξε Κυριος ο Θεος σου δια να ησαι εις αυτον λαος εκλεκτος, παρα παντας τους λαους τους επι του προσωπου της γης.

7 Δεν προετιμησεν εσας Κυριος ουδε εξελεξεν εσας, διοτι εισθε πολυπληθεστεροι παρα παντα τα εθνη· επειδη σεις εισθε οι πλεον ολιγαριθμοι παρα παντα τα εθνη·

8 αλλ' επειδη ο Κυριος σας ηγαπησε και δια να φυλαξη τον ορκον, τον οποιον ωμοσε προς τους πατερας σας, σας εξηγαγεν ο Κυριος εν χειρι κραταια και σας ελυτρωσεν εκ του οικου της δουλειας, εκ χειρος Φαραω, βασιλεως Αιγυπτου.

9 Γνωρισον λοιπον, οτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου αυτος ειναι ο Θεος, ο Θεος ο πιστος, ο φυλαττων την διαθηκην και το ελεος προς τους αγαπωντας αυτον και φυλαττοντας τας εντολας αυτου, εις χιλιας γενεας·

10 και ανταποδιδων κατα προσωπον αυτων εις τους μισουντας αυτον, δια να εξολοθρευση αυτους· δεν θελει βραδυνει εις τον μισουντα αυτον· θελει καμει εις αυτον την ανταποδοσιν κατα προσωπον αυτου.

11 Φυλαττε λοιπον τας εντολας και τα διαταγματα και τας κρισεις, τας οποιας εγω σε προσταζω σημερον δια να καμνης αυτας.

12 Και εαν ακουητε τας κρισεις ταυτας και φυλαττητε και εκτελητε αυτας, θελει φυλαξει Κυριος ο Θεος σου εις σε την διαθηκην και το ελεος, τα οποια ωμοσε προς τους πατερας σου·

13 και θελει σε αγαπησει και σε ευλογησει και σε πληθυνει, και θελει ευλογησει τον καρπον της κοιλιας σου και τον καρπον της γης σου, τον σιτον σου και τον οινον σου και το ελαιον σου, τας αγελας των βοων σου και τα ποιμνια των προβατων σου, εν τη γη την οποιαν ωμοσε προς τους πατερας σου να δωση εις σε.

14 Θελεις εισθαι ευλογημενος υπερ παντα τα εθνη· αγονος η στειρα δεν θελει εισθαι εις σε η εις τα κτηνη σου.

15 Και θελει αφαιρεσει ο Κυριος απο σου πασαν ασθενειαν και δεν θελει βαλει επι σε ουδεμιαν των κακων νοσων της Αιγυπτου, τας οποιας γνωριζεις· αλλα θελει βαλει αυτας επι παντας τους μισουντας σε.

16 Και θελεις εξολοθρευσει παντα τα εθνη, τα οποια Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει παραδωσει εις σε· ο οφθαλμος σου δεν θελει σπλαγχνισθη δι' αυτους· ουδε θελεις λατρευσει τους θεους αυτων· διοτι τουτο θελει εισθαι παγις εις σε.

17 Εαν δε ειπης εν τη καρδια σου, Τα εθνη ταυτα ειναι πλεον πολυαριθμα παρ' εμε· πως δυναμαι να εκδιωξω αυτα;

18 Μη φοβηθης αυτους· ενθυμου καλως τι εκαμε Κυριος ο Θεος σου εις τον Φαραω και εις πασαν την Αιγυπτον·

19 τους πειρασμους τους μεγαλους τους οποιους ειδον οι οφθαλμοι σου, και τα σημεια και τα τερατα και την κραταιαν χειρα και τον εξηπλωμενον βραχιονα, με τα οποια Κυριος ο Θεος σου σε εξηγαγεν· ουτω θελει καμει Κυριος ο Θεος σου εις παντα τα εθνη, το οποια συ φοβεισαι.

20 Και προσετι τας σφηκας Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει αποστειλει εις αυτους, εωσου εξολοθρευθωσιν οσοι εναπελειφθησαν και εκρυπτοντο απο προσωπου σου.

21 Δεν θελεις τρομαξει απο προσωπου αυτων· διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σου ειναι εν μεσω σου, Θεος μεγας και φοβερος.

22 Και θελει εξαλειψει Κυριος ο Θεος σου τα εθνη εκεινα απ' εμπροσθεν σου ολιγον κατ' ολιγον· δεν δυναται να αφανισης αυτους παραυτα, δια να μη πληθυνθωσιν εναντιον σου τα θηρια του αγρου.

23 Αλλα Κυριος ο Θεος σου θελει παραδωσει αυτους εμπροσθεν σου και θελει φθειρει αυτους εν φθορα μεγαλη, εωσου εξολοθρευθωσι.

24 Και θελει παραδωσει εις την χειρα σου τους βασιλεις αυτων, και θελεις εξαλειψει το ονομα αυτων υποκατωθεν του ουρανου· ουδεις θελει δυνηθη να σταθη εμπροσθεν σου, εωσου εξολοθρευσης αυτους.

25 Τα γλυπτα των θεων αυτων θελετε καυσει εν πυρι· δεν θελεις επιθυμησει το αργυριον η το χρυσιον το επ' αυτων, ουδε θελεις λαβει αυτο εις σεαυτον δια να μη παγιδευθης εις αυτο· διοτι ειναι βδελυγμα εις Κυριον τον Θεον σου.

26 Και δεν θελεις φερει βδελυγμα εις τον οικον σου, δια να μη γεινης αναθεμα ως αυτο· θελεις αποστραφει αυτο διολου και θελεις βδελυχθη αυτο διολου· διοτι ειναι αναθεμα.

2762. The origin of 'a horse' meaning the understanding part of the mind lies nowhere else than in representatives in the next life. Frequently there, in the world of spirits, horses which display great variety are seen, and also people seated on horses. And whenever they are seen the understanding is meant by them. Such representatives are of constant occurrence among spirits. It is because the horse is a representative of the understanding that when horses are mentioned in the Word the spirits and angels present with man know instantaneously that it is the understanding which is being spoken of. It is also why, when spirits from some other planet who have been endowed with intelligence and wisdom are raised up from the world of spirits into heaven, horses shining as though they consisted of fire appear, which I also have seen when those people were carried up.

[2] This experience has made clear to me what is meant by the fiery chariot and the fiery horses which Elisha saw when Elijah went up with the whirlwind into heaven, and what also by Elisha's shout at that time,

My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its riders. 2 Kings 2:11-12,

and by the same spoken by Joash king of Israel to Elisha when the latter was dying,

My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and its riders. 2 Kings 13:14.

In the Lord's Divine mercy it will be shown elsewhere that Elijah and Elisha represented the Lord as to the Word. That is to say, it will there be shown that the doctrine of love and charity drawn from the Word is meant by 'the fiery chariot', and the doctrine of faith deriving from these by 'the fiery horses'. The doctrine of faith is the same as an understanding of the Word as to its inner content, which is the internal sense.

[3] As regards chariots and horses being seen in heaven among spirits and angels, this is evident not only from the fact that they were seen by the prophets, such as by Zechariah (1:8-10; 6:1-7) and by others, but also by Elisha's servant, of whom the following is said in the Book of Kings,

Jehovah opened the eyes of Elisha's servant, and he saw; and behold the mountain was full of horses, and there were fiery chariots surrounding Elisha. 2 Kings 6:17.

Furthermore, where the intelligent and wise dwell in the world of spirits, chariots and horses are constantly making their appearance, the reason being, as has been stated, that chariots and horses represent the things that belong to wisdom and intelligence. People who have been awakened after death and are entering the next life see represented to them a young man seated on a horse, who then dismounts. The meaning of this is that before they can enter heaven they have to be furnished with cognitions of good and truth - see Volume One, in 187, 188. The fact that chariots and horses meant those things was fully known in the Ancient Church, as becomes clear also from the Book of Job, a book of the Ancient Church, where these words occur,

God has made him forget wisdom and given him no share in intelligence. After raising himself on high he laughs at the horse and its rider. Job 39:17-19.

[4] The meaning of 'a horse' as the understanding spread from the Ancient Church to the wise in surrounding regions, and even into Greece. As a consequence of this, when describing the sun, which meant love, 2441, 2495, they placed the god of their wisdom and intelligence there in the sun, and gave him a chariot and four fiery horses. And when they described the god of the sea - the sea meaning knowledge in general, 28, 2120 - they gave horses to him also. And when they described the upsurge of knowledge from the understanding they portrayed it as a flying horse which with its hoof broke open a fountain where the virgins who were the branches of knowledge dwelt. And by the Trojan horse nothing else was meant than a device of their understanding for destroying city walls. Even today, when the understanding is being described, it is quite usual, drawing on the custom received from those people of old, to portray the understanding as a flying horse or Pegasus, and to portray learning as a fountain. Yet scarcely anyone knows that 'a horse' in the mystical sense means the understanding, and 'a fountain' truth, let alone that those images with a spiritual meaning spread to the gentiles from the Ancient Church.
