以西結書 31

Studie

   

1 十一年初一日,耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要向埃及法老和他的眾人:在威勢上誰能與你相比呢?

3 亞述王曾如利巴嫩中的香柏樹,枝條榮美,影密如林,極其大,樹尖插入雲中。

4 眾水使他生長;深水使他長大。所栽之地有江圍流,汊出的水道延到田野諸

5 所以他高大超過田野諸;發旺的時候,枝子繁多,因得大水之力枝條長長。

6 空中的飛都在枝子上搭窩;田野的走獸都在枝條生子;所有大國的人民都在他蔭居住

7 樹大條長,成為榮美,因為在眾水之旁。

8 園中的香柏不能遮蔽他;松不及他的枝子;楓不及他的枝條;園中的都沒有他榮美。

9 我使他的枝條蕃多,成為榮美,以致伊甸園中的都嫉妒他。

10 所以耶和華如此:因他大,樹尖插入雲中,心驕氣傲,

11 我就必將他交列國中大有威勢的人;他必定辦他。我因他的罪惡,已經驅逐他。

12 外邦人,就是列邦中強暴的,將他砍斷棄掉。他的枝條落在間和一切谷中,他的枝子折斷,落在的一切河旁。上的眾民已經走去,離開他的蔭

13 空中的飛都要宿在這敗落的樹上,田野的走獸都要臥在他的枝條下,

14 使旁的諸不因大而自尊,也不將尖插入雲中,並且那些得滋潤、有勢力的,也不得大自立。因為他們在世人中,和的人都被交與死亡,到陰府去了。

15 耶和華如此:他陰間的那日,我便使人悲哀。我為他遮蓋深淵,使江凝結,大水停流;我也使利巴嫩為他悽慘,田野的諸都因他發昏。

16 我將他扔到陰間,與的人一同去。那時,列國聽見他墜落的響聲就都震動,並且伊甸的一切─就是利巴嫩得滋潤、最佳最美的─都在陰府受了安慰

17 他們也與他同陰間,到被殺的人那裡。他們曾作他的膀,在列國中他的蔭居住

18 在這樣榮耀威勢上,在伊甸園中,誰能與你相比呢?然而你要與伊甸的諸一同到陰府,在未受割禮的人中,與被殺的人一同躺臥。法老和他的群眾乃是如此。這是耶和華的。

Dwell

  
"Hunting Camp on the Plains" by Henry Farny

To “dwell” somewhere, then, is significant – it’s much more than just visiting – but is less permanent than living there. And indeed, to dwell somewhere in the Bible represents entering that spiritual state and engaging it, but not necessary permanently. A “dwelling,” meanwhile, represents the various loves that inspire the person who inhabits it, from the most evil – “those dwelling in the shadow of death” in Isaiah 9, for example – to the exalted state of the tabernacle itself, which was built as a dwelling-place for the Lord and represents heaven in all its details. Many people were nomadic in Biblical times, especially the times of the Old Testament, and lived in tents that could be struck, moved and raised quickly. Others, of course, lived in houses, generally made of stone and wood and quite permanent. In between the two were larger, more elaborate tent-style structures called tabernacles or dwellings; the tabernacle Moses built for the Ark of the Covenant is on this model.
