如申命记 17

Studie

   

1 凡有殘疾,或有甚麼惡病的牛羊,你都不可獻給耶和華─你的,因為這是耶和華─你所憎惡的。

2 在你們中間,在耶和華─你所賜你的諸城中,無論那座城裡,若有,或或女,行耶和華─你眼中看為惡的事,違背了他的約,

3 去事奉敬拜別,或拜日頭,或拜月亮,或拜象,是主不曾吩咐的;

4 有人告訴你,你也見了,就要細細的探,果然是真,準有這可憎惡的事行在以色列中,

5 你就要將行這惡事的男人女人拉到城外,用石頭將他打

6 要憑兩個人的作見證將那當的人治;不可憑個人的作見證將他治

7 見證人要先下,然後眾民也下將他治死。這樣,就把那惡從你們中間除掉。

8 你城中若起了爭訟的事,或因流血,或因爭競,或因毆打,是你難斷的案件,你就當起來,往耶和華─你所選擇的地方

9 去見祭司利未人,並當時的審判官,求問他們,他們必將判語指示你。

10 他們在耶和華所選擇的地方指示你的判語,你必照著他們所指教你的一切謹守遵行。

11 要按他們所指教你的律法,照他們所斷定的去行;他們所指示你的判語,你不可偏離左右。

12 若有擅敢不從那侍立在耶和華─你面前的祭司,或不從審判官,那就必治;這樣,便將那惡從以色列中除掉。

13 眾百姓都要害怕,不再擅敢行事。

14 到了耶和華─你所賜你的,得了那居住的時候,若:我要立王治理我,像四圍的國一樣。

15 你總要立耶和華─你所揀選的為王。必從你弟兄中立一;不可立你弟兄以外的為王。

16 只是王不可為自己加添馬匹,也不可使百姓回埃及去,為要加添他的馬匹,因耶和華曾吩咐你們:不可再回那條去。

17 他也不可為自己多立妃嬪,恐怕他的心偏邪;也不可為自己多積

18 他登了國位,就要將祭司利未人面前的這律法,為自己抄錄一本,

19 存在他那裡,要平生誦讀,好學習敬畏耶和華─他的,謹守遵行這律書上的一切言語和這些律例,

20 免得他向弟兄心氣傲,偏左偏右,離了這誡命。這樣,他和他的子孫便可在以色列中,在國位上年長日久。

Apocalypse Explained # 764

/ 1232  
  

764. 1 (Revelation 12:16) 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 AE 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.]
