如申命记 3

Studie

   

1 以後,我們回,向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的眾民都出來,在以得來與我們交戰。

2 耶和華對我:不要他!因我已將他和他的眾民,並他的,都交在你中;你要待他像從前待希實本的亞摩利王西宏一樣。

3 於是耶和華─我們的也將巴珊王噩和他的眾民都交在我們中;我們殺了他們,沒有留下一個。

4 那時,我們奪了他所有的城,共有六十座,沒有一座城不被我們所奪。這為亞珥歌伯的全境,就是巴珊地噩王的國。

5 這些城都有堅固的牆,有有閂。此外還有許多無城牆的鄉村。

6 我們將這些都毀滅了,像從前待希實本王西宏一樣,把有人煙的各城,連女人帶孩子,盡都毀滅;

7 惟有一切牲畜和城中的財物都取為自己的掠物。

8 那時,我們從約但東兩個亞摩利將亞嫩谷直到黑門奪過來

9 (這黑門山,西頓人稱為西連,亞摩利人稱為示尼珥),

10 就是奪了平原的各城、基列全地、巴珊全地,直到撒迦和以得來,都是巴珊王噩國內的城邑。

11 (利乏音所剩下的只有巴珊王噩。他的床是的,長肘,寬肘,都是以肘為度。現今豈不是在亞捫的拉巴麼?)

12 那時,我們得了這。從亞嫩谷邊的亞羅珥起,我將基列山的一半,並其中的城邑,都便人和迦得人。

13 其餘的基列和巴珊全,就是噩王的國,我瑪拿西半支派。亞珥歌伯全乃是巴珊全;這做利乏音人之

14 瑪拿西的子孫睚珥佔了亞珥歌伯全境,直到基述人和瑪迦人的交界,就按自己的名稱這巴珊地為哈倭特睚珥,直到今日。

15 我又將基列了瑪吉。

16 從基列到亞嫩谷,以谷中為界,直到亞捫人交界的雅博,我便人和迦得人,

17 又將亞拉巴和靠近約但河之地,從基尼烈直到亞拉巴,就是,並毘斯迦山根東邊之地,都給了他們。

18 那時,我吩咐你們說:耶和華─你們的已將這你們為業;你們所有的勇士都要帶著兵器,在你們的弟兄以色列人前面過去。

19 但你們的妻子、孩子、牲畜(我知道你們有許多的牲畜)可以在我所賜你們的各城裡。

20 等到你們弟兄在約但河那邊,也得耶和華─你們所賜他們的,又使他們得享平安,與你們一樣,你們才可以回到我所賜你們為業之

21 那時我吩咐約書亞說:你親眼見了耶和華─你向這所行的;耶和華也必向你所要去的各國照樣行。

22 你不要他們,因那為你爭戰的是耶和華─你的

23 那時,我懇求耶和華說:

24 耶和華阿,你已將你的大力大能顯給僕人。在上,在下,有甚麼神能像你行事、像你有大能的作為呢?

25 求你容我過去,約但河那邊的美,就是那佳美的和利巴嫩。

26 耶和華因你們的緣故向我發怒,不應允我,對我:罷了!你不要向我再題這事。

27 你且上毘斯迦山頂去,向東、西、南、舉目觀望,因為你必不能過這約但河。

28 你卻要囑咐約書亞,勉勵他,使他膽壯;因為他必在這百姓前面過去,使他們承受你所要觀

29 於是我們在伯毘珥對面的谷中。

4117. 'And he set his face towards mount Gilead' means good within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'mount' as the celestial element of love, which is good, dealt with in 795, 1430, to which the good meant by 'Jacob' was joined - 'Gilead' meaning the essential nature of it. Since the river was the boundary and, as has been stated, meant the first phase of the joining together, 'mount Gilead', which lay in this part away from the Jordan, means the good involved in that first stage of the joining together.

[2] The land of Gilead where the mountain was situated lay within the confines of the land of Canaan understood in a wide sense. It was situated on this side of the Jordan, and was granted as an inheritance to the Reubenites and the Gadites, and in particular to the half-tribe of Manasseh. And since the inheritances stretched out that far, it is said that it was situated within the confines of the land of Canaan understood in a wide sense. The fact that this territory was granted as an inheritance to those tribes is clear in Moses, Numbers 32:1, 26-41; Deuteronomy 3:8, 10-16; Joshua 13:24-31. For this reason when the land of Canaan was envisaged in its entirety it was said to stretch from Gilead even to Dan, and in another sense from Beersheba even to Dan, for Dan also was a boundary, 1710, 3923. Regarding its stretching from Beersheba even to Dan, see 2858, 2859; and reference to its doing so from Gilead to Dan occurs in Moses,

Moses went up from the plains of Moab onto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which is in the direction of Jericho. There Jehovah showed him the whole land, Gilead even to Dan. Deuteronomy 34:1.

And in the Book of Judges,

Gilead dwelling at the crossing of the Jordan; and Dan, why will he fear ships? Judges 5:17.

[3] Because it was a boundary, 'Gilead' in the spiritual sense means the good that comes first, which is that of the bodily senses, for it is the good or delight of the senses that a person who is being regenerated is introduced into first of all. This is the sense in which 'Gilead' is taken in the Prophets, as in Jeremiah 8:22; 22:6; 46:11; 50:19; Ezekiel 47:18; Obad. verse 19; Micah 7:14; Zechariah 10:10; Psalms 60:7; and in the contrary sense, in Hosea 6:8; 12:11.
