1 众支派按名所得之地记在下面:从头,由希特伦往哈马口,到大马色地界上的哈萨以难。边靠着哈马地(各支派的地都有东西的边界),是但的分。

2 挨着但的地界,从东到西,是亚设的分。

3 挨着亚设的地界,从东到西,是拿弗他利的分。

4 挨着拿弗他利的地界,从东到西,是玛拿西分。

5 挨着玛拿西的地界,从东到西,是以法莲分。

6 挨着以法莲的地界,从东到西,是流便的分。

7 挨着流便的地界,从东到西,是犹大分。

8 挨着犹大的地界,从东到西,必有你们所当献的供地,宽二万五肘。从东界到西界,长短与各分之地相同,圣地当在其中。

9 你们献与耶和华的供地要长二万五肘,宽一万肘。

10 供地要归与祭司长二万五肘,西宽一万肘,东宽一万肘,长二万五肘。耶和华的地当在其中。

11 这地要归与撒督的子孙中成为祭司,就是那守我所吩咐的。当以色列人走迷的时候,他们不像那些利未人走迷了。

12 这要归与他们为供,是全中至的。供挨着利未人的界。

13 利未人所得的地要长二万五肘,宽一万肘,与祭司的地界相等,都长二万五肘,宽一万肘。

14 不可,不可换,初熟之物也不可归与别人,因为是归耶和华的。

15 这二万五肘前面所剩下五肘宽之地要作俗用,作为造城盖房郊野之地。城要在当中。

16 城的尺寸乃是如此:肘,肘,东面肘,西面肘。

17 城必有郊野,向北五十肘,向南五十肘,向东二五十肘,向西二五十肘。

18 靠着供地的馀地,东长一万肘,西长一万肘,要与供地相等;其中的土产要作城内工人的食物。

19 所有以色列支派中,在城内做工的,都要耕种这地。

20 你们所献的供地连归城之地,是方的:长二万五肘,宽二万五肘。

21 供地连归城之地,两边的馀地要归与王。供地东边,南北二万五肘,东至东界,西边南北二万五肘,西至西界,与各分之地相同,都要归王。供地和殿的地要在其中,

22 并且利未人之地,与归城之地的东西两边延长之地(这两地在王地中间),就是在犹大和便雅悯两界中间,要归与王。

23 论到其馀的支派,从东到西,是便雅悯的分。

24 挨着便雅悯的地界,从东到西,是西缅分。

26 挨着以萨迦的地界,从东到西,是西布伦的分。

27 挨着西布伦的地界,从东到西,是迦得的分。

28 迦得地的界是从他玛到米利巴加低斯的水,延到埃及小,直到

29 这就是你们要拈阄分给以色列支派为业之,乃是他们各支派所得之分。这是耶和华的。

30 城的肘。出城之处如下;

31 城的各要按以色列支派的名字面有为流便犹大为利未

32 东面肘,有为约瑟为便雅悯为但

33 肘,有西缅为以萨迦为西布伦

Jehovah

  

The Lord, in the simplest terms, is love itself expressed as wisdom itself. In philosophic terms, love is the Lord's substance and wisdom is His form. Of course, we feel the Lord's love and hear His wisdom in many different ways, depending on our state in life and how receptive we are. That's why the Lord has so many different names in the Bible, and is referred to in so many different ways.

6945. 'For they will say, Jehovah has not appeared to you' means the Divine within the Lord's Human. This is clear from the meaning of saying' as perception, dealt with often, in this instance the perception of those who belong to the spiritual Church; and from the meaning of 'Jehovah has appeared' as the appearance of the Lord's Divine within His Human. The fact that this kind of appearance is meant by a visual appearance is self-evident; and the fact that 'Jehovah' is the Lord in respect of the Divine itself and in respect of the Divine Human is dealt with in 1736, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2156, 2329, 2921, 3023, 3035, 5041, 5663, 6281, 6303, 6905. That 'Jehovah has appeared' means the appearance of the Lord's Divine within His Human is also evident from the consideration that His Divine cannot appear to anyone, not even to an angel, except through the Divine Human; nor can the Divine Human except through Divine Truth which goes forth from Him. The subject here in the internal sense is the deliverance of those who belonged to the spiritual Church. Their deliverance was effected by means of the Lord's Coming into the world, see 2661, 2716, 3969, 6854, 6914; and these specifically were saved by means of the Lord's Divine Human, 2716, 2833, 2834.

[2] The implications of this - that those who belong to that Church will not be in possession of faith and so will be unreceptive of what the law from God, represented by 'Moses', says, that is, what the Word says, unless they see signs are as follows: Because they belong to the spiritual Church they do not have a perception of truth from good as people who are celestial do. Instead they acknowledge as the truth all the religious teaching of their Church which they have substantiated for themselves, which means that compared with those who are celestial they dwell in obscurity, 1718, 2831, 2849, 2935, 2937, 3833, 6427, 6500, 6865. This is also made perfectly clear by the fact that they do not at all comprehend how the Lord's Human is able to be Divine, or that God's love within the Human makes it so. For they fix their thought on what is human as they know of it in people generally and do not diverge from this when they think of the Lord; so their minds are in a tangle. The same thing is again made clear by the fact that they also fail to comprehend how a person can be living after death and in that life can have the senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, and smell, or can exist there in a human form. The idea that a person is like this when he lays aside his body along with its senses and members appears to them to be very far from the truth. Thus they are enmeshed in impressions received by the senses and in factual knowledge and illusions that are products of those impressions. If they did not believe therefore that the body is to be rejoined to the soul they would have no belief in any resurrection at all.

[3] From all this one may recognize quite clearly how much obscurity they dwell in regarding the things of heaven. It explains why they cannot have any faith implanted in them at all unless the Lord withholds them from falsities by great force. And since such a force did not exist before the Lord's Coming, only after His Coming when He had made the Human within Himself Divine, they could not be rescued from the lower earth where they were being molested by falsities and be raised to heaven until after the Lord's resurrection, 6914. This then is the reason why it is said that they will not believe and so will be unreceptive of what the law of God, that is, what God's truth, says unless they see proof that it is the truth, which is to say, unless they see signs, described in what follows immediately below.
