民数记 27

Studie

   

1 属约瑟的儿子玛拿西的各族,有玛拿西的玄孙,玛吉的曾孙,基列的孙子,希弗的儿子西罗非哈的女儿,名叫玛拉、挪阿、曷拉、密迦、得撒。他们前来,

2 站在会幕口,在摩西和祭司以利亚撒,并众首领与全会众面前,

3 我们父亲旷野。他不与可拉同党聚集攻击耶和华,是在自己罪中的;他也没有儿子

4 为甚麽因我们父亲没有儿子就把他的名从他族中除掉呢?求你们在我们父亲的弟兄中分我们产业。

5 於是,摩西将他们的案件呈到耶和华面前。

6 耶和华晓谕摩西

7 西罗非哈的女儿得有理。你定要在他们父亲的弟兄中,把地分他们为业;要将他们父亲的产业归他们。

8 你也要晓谕以色列人死了没有儿子,就要把他的产业归给他的女儿。

9 他若没有女儿,就要把他的产业他的弟兄。

10 他若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业父亲的弟兄。

11 父亲若没有弟兄,就要把他的产业他族中最近的亲属,他便要得为业。这要作以色列人的律例典章,是照耶和华吩咐摩西的

12 耶和华摩西:你上这亚巴琳,观我所赐以色列人

13 了以後,你也必归到你列祖(原文作本民)那里,像你哥哥亚伦一样。

14 因为你们在寻的旷野,当会众争闹的时候,违背了我的命,没有在涌之地、会众眼前尊我为。(这就是寻的旷野加低斯米利巴。)

15 摩西耶和华

16 耶和华之灵的,立一个治理会众,

17 可以在他们面前出入,也可以引导他们,免得耶和华的会众如同没有牧人的羊群一般。

18 耶和华摩西:嫩的儿子约书亚是心中有圣灵的;你将他领来,按在他头上,

19 使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前,嘱咐他,

20 又将你的尊荣他几分,使以色列全会众都从他。

21 他要站在祭司以利亚撒面前;以利亚撒要凭乌陵的判断,在耶和华面前为他求问。他和以色列全会众都要遵以利亚撒的命出入。

22 於是摩西耶和华所吩咐的将约书亚领来,使他站在祭司以利亚撒和全会众面前。

23 在他头上,嘱咐他,是照耶和华摩西的话。

Door

Generally, doors in the Bible represent the initial desires for good and concepts of truth that introduce us to new levels of love and understanding, and even to the Lord Himself. Since a “house” represents a person’s desires, affections and passions, the door serves to introduce true ideas that can put those desires into action.

In John 10:7, the door signifies the Lord, who is good itself and truth itself. (Arcana Coelestia 2356[2])

In Revelation 3:8; 4:1, the door signifies admission to the arcana of heaven revealed. (Apocalypse Explained 260[2])

The meaning depends on context, of course. For example, references to doorposts and lintels are making a distinction between introductory goods and introductory truths. And, in Sodom, Lot's house had two doors -- an inner one and an outer one. When, in Genesis 19:6, Lot tried to convince the men of Sodom not to attack the angels visiting him, he went outside the inner door, but stayed inside the outer door. There, the outer door represents a desire for good that is resistant to the falsity represented by the men of Sodom; the inner door represents true ideas springing from that desire for good. Someone nurturing a desire for good could be admitted through the first door, but would have to learn the truth about how to express that desire before being admitted through the second.
