民数记 24

Studie

   

1 巴兰耶和华喜欢赐福与以色列,就不像前两次去求法术,却面向旷野

2 巴兰举目,以色列人照着支派居住。的灵就临到他身上,

3 他便题起诗歌:比珥的儿子巴兰,眼目闭住的人,(闭住或作:睁开)

4 神的言语,得见全能者的异象,眼目睁开而仆倒的人

5 雅各阿,你的帐棚何等华美!以色列阿,你的帐幕何其华丽!

6 如接连的山谷,如旁的园子,如耶和华所栽的沉香树,如边的香柏木。

7 要从他的桶里流出;种子要撒在多之处。他的王必超过亚甲;他的国必要振兴。

8 神领他出埃及;他似乎有野牛之力。他要吞敌国,折断他们的骨头,用射透他们。

9 他蹲如公狮,卧如母狮,谁敢惹他?凡给你祝福的,愿他蒙福;凡咒诅你的,愿他受咒诅。

10 巴勒向巴兰生气,就拍起手来,对巴兰:我召你来为我咒诅仇敌,不料,你这三次竟为他们祝福

11 如今你快回本地去罢!我想使你得大尊荣,耶和华却阻止你不得尊荣。

12 巴兰对巴勒:我岂不是对你所差遣到我那里的使者

13 巴勒就是将他满我,我也不得越过耶和华的命,凭自己的意行行歹。耶和华甚麽,我就要甚麽?

14 现在我要回本族去。你来,我告诉你这民日後要怎样待你的民。

15 他就题起诗歌:比珥的儿子巴兰:眼目闭住的人,(闭住或作:睁开)

16 神的言语,明白至者的意旨,看见全能者的异象,眼目睁开而仆倒的人

17 他却不在现时;我望他却不在近日。有要出於雅各,有杖要兴於以色列,必打破摩押的四角,毁坏扰乱.之子。

18 他必得以东为基业,又得仇敌之地西珥为产业;以色列必行事勇敢。

19 有一位出於雅各的,必掌大权;他要除灭城中的馀民。

20 巴兰观亚玛力,就题起诗歌:亚玛力原为诸国之首,但他终必沉沦。

21 巴兰观基尼人,就题起诗歌:你的处本是坚固;你的窝做在岩穴中。

22 然而基尼必至衰微,直到亚述把你掳去。

23 巴兰又题起诗歌:哀哉!神行这事,谁能得活?

24 必有人乘船从基提界而来,苦害亚述,苦害希伯;他也必至沉沦。

25 於是巴兰起来,回他本地去;巴勒也回去了。

4384. 'Until I come to my lord, to Seir' means until they - the truth meant by 'Jacob' and the good meant by 'Esau' - could be joined together. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'Seir' as the joining of spiritual things to celestial ones within the natural, that is, the joining of truth which belongs to faith to good which belongs to charity. Good to which truth has been joined within the natural, and in the highest sense the Lord's Divine Natural as regards good joined to truth there, is what is meant strictly speaking by 'Seir' in the following places in the Word: In Moses' prophecy concerning the children of Israel,

Jehovah came from Sinai, and dawned from Seir upon them; He shone from Mount Paran, and came out of myriads of holiness. Deuteronomy 33:2-3.

In Balaam's prophecy,

I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near. A star will arise out of Jacob, and a sceptre will rise up out of Israel. And Edom will be an inheritance, and Seir will be an inheritance, of His enemies - with Israel doing valiantly. Numbers 24:17-18.

In the Song of Deborah and Barak,

O Jehovah, when You went forth from Seir, when You set out from the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the mountains flowed down, this Sinai before Jehovah God of Israel. Judges 5:4-5.

In Isaiah,

One is calling to me from Seir, Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night? The watchman said, Morning comes, and also the night. Isaiah 21:11-12.

See 4240 for these texts referring to Seir, as well as others quoted there.
