申命记 17

Studie

   

1 凡有残疾,或有甚麽恶病的牛羊,你都不可献给耶和华─你的,因为这是耶和华─你所憎恶的。

2 在你们中间,在耶和华─你所赐你的诸城中,无论那座城里,若有,或或女,行耶和华─你眼中看为恶的事,违背了他的约,

3 去事奉敬拜别,或拜日头,或拜月亮,或拜象,是主不曾吩咐的;

4 有人告诉你,你也见了,就要细细的探,果然是真,准有这可憎恶的事行在以色列中,

5 你就要将行这恶事的男人女人拉到城外,用石头将他打

6 要凭两个人的作见证将那当的人治;不可凭个人的作见证将他治

7 见证人要先下,然後众民也下将他治死。这样,就把那恶从你们中间除掉。

8 你城中若起了争讼的事,或因流血,或因争竞,或因殴打,是你难断的案件,你就当起来,往耶和华─你所选择的地方

9 去见祭司利未人,并当时的审判官,求问他们,他们必将判语指示你。

10 他们在耶和华所选择的地方指示你的判语,你必照着他们所指教你的一切谨守遵行。

11 要按他们所指教你的律法,照他们所断定的去行;他们所指示你的判语,你不可偏离左右。

12 若有擅敢不从那侍立在耶和华─你面前的祭司,或不从审判官,那就必治;这样,便将那恶从以色列中除掉。

13 众百姓都要害怕,不再擅敢行事。

14 到了耶和华─你所赐你的,得了那居住的时候,若:我要立王治理我,像四围的国一样。

15 你总要立耶和华─你所拣选的为王。必从你弟兄中立一;不可立你弟兄以外的为王。

16 只是王不可为自己加添马匹,也不可使百姓回埃及去,为要加添他的马匹,因耶和华曾吩咐你们:不可再回那条去。

17 他也不可为自己多立妃嫔,恐怕他的心偏邪;也不可为自己多积

18 他登了国位,就要将祭司利未人面前的这律法,为自己抄录一本,

19 存在他那里,要平生诵读,好学习敬畏耶和华─他的,谨守遵行这律书上的一切言语和这些律例,

20 免得他向弟兄心气傲,偏左偏右,离了这诫命。这样,他和他的子孙便可在以色列中,在国位上年长日久。

Apocalypse Explained # 764

/ 1232  
  

764. 1 That he might cause her to be swallowed up by the river, signifies in order that the Church might be blinded and dissipated by the ratiocinations. This follows from the meaning of "river," namely, ratiocinations, as said just above, and from the meaning of "to cause to be swallowed up," and "to swallow up," in that it is "to destroy." This is to be blinded and dissipated because to destroy by ratiocinations from falsities is understood. And he who perishes from falsities, is first blinded so that he does not see truths. And when truths are no longer seen, the Church with him is dispersed as well. For the Church is the Church from truths.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. All printed versions of Apocalypse Explained note that the explanation for this portion of verse 15 in Revelation 12 is missing from the manuscript. This note is correct in that this explanation is omitted from Swedenborg's final draft but it is not true that Swedenborg never wrote the explanation of these words.

The first draft of Apocalypse Explained was only first reproduced in 1916. This means that none of the published editions were able to take into account the information contained in it. Both the English and the Latin editions published by the Swedenborg Foundation take the one sentence explanation of the internal sense in number 762 and add it in brackets as 763 1/2. 764, then, is the explanation of verse 16. There is no number 765 in Swedenborg's final draft and 766 explains verse 17. Comparing this to the first draft, it becomes clear what happened: When recopying, Swedenborg simply skipped over his original 764 and put this number instead on what had been 765 in the first draft. Coming to the end of this number he saw that the next was 766 and resumed numbering the final draft as he had the first. All this probably took place without Swedenborg being aware of what he was doing. The original 764 stands intact in the first draft. It is of special interest because it is the only place in the Writings where the last part of Revelation 12:15 is specifically explained (Apocalypse Revealed 562 and Arcana Coelestia 7293[5], both of which explain verse 15, do not really say anything about the last part).

Number 764 of the present published editions should be 765, and has been changed to that in NewSearch98. [Research and footnote provided by the Rev. Stephen D. Cole.]
