士师记 5

Studie

   

1 那时底波拉和亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉作歌,

2 因为以色列中有军长率领,百姓也甘心牺牲自己,你们应当颂赞耶和华

3 啊,要子啊,要侧耳而!我要向耶和华;我要歌颂耶和华以色列的

4 耶和华啊,你从西珥出来,由以东行走。那时漏,云也落雨。

5 耶和华的面就震动,西乃耶和华以色列的面也是如此。

6 在亚拿之子珊迦的时候,又在雅亿的日子,大道无人行走,都是绕道而行。

7 以色列中的官长停职,直到我底波拉兴起,等我兴起作以色列的母。

8 以色列人选择新,争战的事就临到城。那时,以色列四万人中岂能见盾牌枪矛呢?

9 倾向以色列的首领,他们在民中甘牺牲自己。你们应当颂赞耶和华

10 白驴的、绣花毯子的、行的,你们都当传扬!

11 在远离弓箭响声打水之处,人必述说耶和华的作为,就是他治理以色列的作为。那时耶和华的到城

12 “底波拉啊,兴起!兴起!你当兴起,兴起,唱歌。亚比挪庵的儿子巴拉啊,你当奋兴,掳掠你的敌人。

13 那时有馀剩的贵胄和百姓一同下来;耶和华降临,为我攻击勇士。

14 本在亚玛力人的地,从以法莲来的;便雅悯在民中跟随。有掌权的从玛吉来;有持杖检点民数的从西布伦来;

15 以萨迦的首领与底波拉同来;以萨迦怎样,巴拉也怎样。众人都跟随巴拉冲下平原;在流便的溪水旁有中定志的。

16 你为何在羊圈内群中吹笛的声音呢?在流便的溪水旁有中设谋的。

17 基列人安居在约但河外。但人为何等在上?亚设人在口静,在港口安居。

18 西布伦人是拚命敢的;拿弗他利人在田野的处也是如此。

19 争战。那时迦南在米吉多水旁的他纳争战,却未得掳掠

20 宿从上争战,从其轨道攻击西西拉。

21 基顺古把敌人冲没;我的灵啊,应当努力前行。

22 那时壮驰驱,踢跳,奔腾。

23 耶和华的使者:应当咒诅米罗斯,大大咒诅其中的居民;因为他们不帮助耶和华,不帮助耶和华攻击勇士。

24 愿基尼人希百的妻雅亿比众妇人多得福气,比住帐棚的妇人更蒙福祉。

25 西西拉求,雅亿给他奶子,用宝贵的盘子给他奶油

26 雅亿左拿着帐棚的橛子,右拿着匠人的锤子,击打西西拉,打伤他的,把他的鬓角打破穿通。

27 西西拉在他前曲身仆倒,在他前曲身倒卧;在那里曲身,就在那里死亡。

28 西西拉的母亲从窗户里往外观看,从窗棂中呼叫说:他的战车为何耽延不呢?他的车轮为何行得慢呢?

29 聪明的宫女安慰他(原文是回答他),他也自言自语地说:

30 他们莫非得财而分?每人得了一两个女子?西西拉得了彩衣为掳物,得绣花的彩衣为掠物。这彩衣两面绣花,乃是披在被掳之人颈项上的。

31 耶和华啊,愿你的仇敌都这样灭亡!愿你的人如日头出现,光辉烈烈!这样,国中太平四十年。

9408. And as the substance of heaven in respect to cleanness. That this signifies the shining through of the angelic heaven, is evident from the signification of “heaven,” as being the angelic heaven (of which in what follows); and from the signification of the “cleanness,” or purity, of “the substance,” when said of heaven, as being its shining through. It shall be briefly stated what is meant by the shining through of the angelic heaven in connection with the Word. The angelic heaven is said to shine through when truth Divine shines through. For the whole heaven is nothing but a receptacle of truth Divine, because every angel is a reception of it in particular; thus all the angels, or the whole heaven, are so in general. From this, heaven is called “the habitation of God,” and also “the throne of God,” because by “habitation” is signified the truth Divine that proceeds from the Lord received in the inmost heaven, which relatively is good (n. 8269, 8309); and by “throne” is signified truth Divine from the Lord received in the middle heaven (n. 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039). As it is truth Divine such as in the heavens which shines through from the sense of the letter of the Word, therefore it is the angelic heaven which shines through; for the Word is Divine truth accommodated to all the heavens; and it consequently conjoins the heavens with the world, that is, angels with men (n. 2143, 7153, 7381, 8920, 9094, 9212, 9216, 9357, 9396). From all this it is evident what is meant by the shining through of the angelic heaven.

[2] That in the internal sense “heaven” denotes the angelic heaven, is from correspondence, and also from the appearance. Hence it is that when mention is made in the Word of “the heavens,” and also of “the heavens of heavens,” in the internal sense are meant the angelic heavens. For the ancients had no other idea of the visible heaven than that the heavenly inhabitants dwell there, and that the stars are their habitations. Similar also at this day is the idea of the simple, and especially of little children. From this also men look upward to heaven when praying earnestly to God. This also is from correspondence; for in the other life a heaven with stars appears, yet not the heaven that appears to men in the world; but a heaven that appears in accordance with the state of intelligence and wisdom of the spirits and angels. The stars there are knowledges of good and truth; and the clouds which are sometimes seen beneath the heaven are of various signification according to their colors, their translucence, and their movements; the blueness of heaven is truth transparent from good. From all this it can be seen that by “the heavens” are signified the angelic heavens; but by “the angelic heavens” are signified truths Divine, because the angels are receptions of the truth Divine that proceeds from the Lord.

[3] Similar things are signified by “the heavens” in David:

Praise Jehovah ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens (Psalms 148:4).

Sing psalms to the Lord that rideth upon the heaven of heaven which is of old (Psalms 68:32-33).

By the word of Jehovah were the heavens made, and all the army of them (Psalms 33:6).

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament declareth the works of His hands (Psalms 19:1).

Jehovah, when Thou wentest forth out of Seir, the earth trembled; the heavens also dripped, the clouds also dripped water (Judg. 5:4).

The horn of the he-goat grew, even to the army of the heavens; and some of the army and of the stars it cast down to the earth, and trampled upon them (Daniel 8:10).

The Lord Jehovih buildeth in the heavens His steps (Amos 9:6).

If there be food in My house I will open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing (Malachi 3:10).

Look forth from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of Thy holiness and of Thy comeliness (Isaiah 63:15).

Blessed of Jehovah be the land of Joseph, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew (Deuteronomy 33:13).

Jesus said, Swear not by the heaven; for it is the throne of God. He that sweareth by the heaven sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth thereon (Matthew 5:34; 23:22).

[4] In these passages, and in many others, by “the heavens” are signified the angelic heavens; and as the Lord’s heaven on earth is the church, by “heaven” is also signified the church; as in the following passages. In John::

I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth were passed away (Revelation 21:1).

Behold I create new heavens and a new earth; therefore the former things shall not be remembered, nor come up upon the heart (Isaiah 65:17).

The heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment (Isaiah 51:6).

I clothe the heaven with blackness, and I make sackcloth a covering (Isaiah 50:3).

I will cover the heavens, and I will blacken the stars thereof; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not make her light to shine; and I will blacken all the luminaries of light in the heaven, and will set darkness upon the land (Ezekiel 32:7-8).

After the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken (Matthew 24:29).

What is here signified by the “sun,” “moon,” “stars,” and “the powers of the heavens,” may be seen above (n. 4056-4060).

In Isaiah:

O Jehovah the God of Israel, Thou alone art the God over all the kingdoms of the earth; Thou hast made heaven and earth (Isaiah 37:16).

I am Jehovah, that maketh all things; that spreadeth out the heavens alone; that stretcheth out the earth by Myself (Isaiah 44:24).

Jehovah that createth the heavens, that formeth the earth and maketh it, and prepareth it, He created it not an emptiness (Isaiah 45:18).

[5] That by “heaven and earth” in these and in other passages is signified in the internal sense the church; by “heaven” the internal church, and by “earth” the external church, may be seen above (n. 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355, 4535), from which it is evident that by the “creation” in the first chapters of Genesis, where it is said, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Genesis 1:1); “and the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the army of them” (Genesis 2:1) is meant a new church; for the creation there denotes a new regeneration, which is also called a “new creation,” as can be seen from what was shown in the explications at these chapters.
