如申命记 33

Studie

   

1 以下是摩西在未死之先為以色列人所祝的福:

2 耶和華從西乃而,從西珥向他們顯現,從巴蘭發出光輝,從萬萬者中臨,從他右手為百姓傳出烈火的律法。

3 他疼愛百姓;眾聖徒都在他中。他們在他的下,領受他的言語。

4 摩西將律法傳給我們,作為雅各會眾的產業。

5 百姓的眾首領,以色列的各支派,一同聚會的時候,耶和華(原文作他)在耶書崙中為王。

6 願流便存活,不至亡;願他人數不致稀少。

7 猶大祝福:求耶和華猶大的聲音,引導他歸於本族;他曾用為自己爭戰,你必幫助他攻擊敵人

8 論利未:耶和華阿,你的土明和烏陵都在你的虔誠那裡。你在瑪撒曾試驗他,在米利巴水與他爭論。

9 他論自己的父母:我未曾見;他也不承認弟兄,也不認識自己的兒女。這是因利未人遵行你的話,謹守你的約。

10 他們要將你的典章教訓雅各,將你的律法教訓以色列。他們要把香焚在你面前,把全牲的燔祭獻在你的上。

11 耶和華降福在他的財物上,悅納他裡所辦的事。那些起來攻擊他和恨惡他的人,願你刺透他們的腰,使他們不得再起來

12 論便雅憫耶和華所親愛的必同耶和華安然居住;耶和華終日遮蔽他,也住在他兩之中。

13 論約瑟:願他的耶和華賜福,得上的寶物、甘,以及裡所藏的泉水;

14 太陽所曬熟的美果,月亮所養成的寶物;

15 得上古之山的至寶,永世之嶺的寶物;

16 和其中所充滿的寶物,並住荊中上主的喜悅。願這些福都歸於約瑟的上,歸於那與弟兄迥別之人的頂上。

17 他為牛群中頭生的,有威嚴;他的角是野牛的角,用以牴觸萬邦,直到極。這角是以法蓮的萬萬,瑪拿西

18 論西布倫:西布倫哪,你出外可以歡喜。以薩迦阿,在你帳棚裡可以快樂。

19 他們要將列邦召到上,在那裡獻公的祭;因為他們要裡的豐富,並沙中所藏的珍寶。

20 論迦得:使迦得擴張的應當稱頌!迦得住如母獅;他撕裂,連頭頂也撕裂

21 他為自己選擇一段地,因在那裡有設立律法者的分存留。他與百姓的首領同來;他施行耶和華的耶和華以色列所立的典章。

22 論但:但為小獅子,從巴珊跳出來。

23 論拿弗他利:拿弗他利阿,你足沾恩惠,滿得耶和華的福,可以得西方和方為業。

24 論亞設:願亞設享受多子的福樂,得他弟兄的喜悅,可以把蘸在中。

25 你的門閂(門閂或作:鞋)是銅的,的。你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何。

26 耶書崙哪,沒有能比神的。他為幫助你,乘在天空,顯其威榮,駕行穹蒼。

27 永生的是你的居所;他永久的膀在你以。他在你前面攆出仇敵,:毀滅罷。

28 以色列安然居住;雅各的本源獨居五穀新酒。他的也滴甘

29 以色列阿,你是有福的!誰像你這蒙耶和華所拯的百姓呢?他是你的盾牌,幫助你,是你威榮的刀。你的仇敵必投降你;你必踏在他們的處。

10438. 'For evil He led them out, to kill them in the mountains' means that those with whom good exists will be destroyed. This is clear from the meaning of 'leading out to kill' as destroying, though when such words are used in reference to Jehovah, who never destroys anyone, being destroyed by their own evil is meant; and from the meaning of 'the mountains' as heaven, consequently the good of love. The origin of the meaning of 'the mountains' as heaven lies in representatives in the next life. Mountains, hills, rocks, valleys, and many more objects appear there, as on earth; and on the mountains there are those who abide in celestial love, on the hills those who abide in spiritual love, on the rocks those who abide in faith, and in the valleys those who have not as yet been raised up to the good of love and faith.

[2] Consequently by 'mountains' those in whom the good of celestial love exists, and so who inhabit the inmost heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense forms of the good of celestial love, and so the heaven which abides in that love; by 'hills' those in whom the good of spiritual love exists, and so who inhabit the middle heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense the good of that love and the heaven which abides in it; by 'rocks' those in whom the good of faith exists, and who consequently inhabit the lowest heaven, are meant, and in the abstract sense that good and that heaven; and by 'valleys' those who have not as yet been raised up to those kinds of good and so to heaven are meant. Because such objects appear in the next life and such realities are consequently meant by them, those objects have a like meaning in the Word, as do the mountains, hills, rocks, and valleys in the land of Canaan, by which heaven in its entirety was therefore represented.

[3] The fact that the heaven where the good of celestial love exists is meant by 'mountains' is evident from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

In the latter days it will be, that the mountain of Jehovah will be on the top of the mountains, and raised above the hills. Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1.

In David,

The mountains will bring peace, and the hills, in righteousness. Psalms 72:3.

In the same author,

Praise Jehovah, mountains and all hills. Psalms 148:7, 9.

In the same author,

A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of hills is the mountain of Bashan. Why do you leap up, O mountains, hills of mountains? God desires to inhabit it; yes, Jehovah will inhabit it perpetually. Psalms 68:15-16.

In Moses,

... in regard to the firstfruits of the mountains of the east, and to the precious things of the everlasting hills 1 ... Let them come upon the head of Joseph. Deuteronomy 33:15-16.

Other places besides these contain the same meaning, see 795, 6435, 8327, 8658, 8758, 9422, 9434. All this explains why the Lord came down onto Mount Sinai; why the city of David was built on a mountain, and that mountain, which was called Mount Zion, means the inmost heaven; and also why the ancients performed holy acts of worship on mountains and hills, 2722.
