申命记 3

Studie

   

1 以後,我们回,向巴珊去。巴珊王噩和他的众民都出来,在以得来与我们交战。

2 耶和华对我:不要他!因我已将他和他的众民,并他的,都交在你中;你要待他像从前待希实本的亚摩利王西宏一样。

3 於是耶和华─我们的也将巴珊王噩和他的众民都交在我们中;我们杀了他们,没有留下一个。

4 那时,我们夺了他所有的城,共有六十座,没有一座城不被我们所夺。这为亚珥歌伯的全境,就是巴珊地噩王的国。

5 这些城都有坚固的墙,有有闩。此外还有许多无城墙的乡村。

6 我们将这些都毁灭了,像从前待希实本王西宏一样,把有人烟的各城,连女人带孩子,尽都毁灭;

7 惟有一切牲畜和城中的财物都取为自己的掠物。

8 那时,我们从约但东两个亚摩利将亚嫩谷直到黑门夺过来

9 (这黑门山,西顿人称为西连,亚摩利人称为示尼珥),

10 就是夺了平原的各城、基列全地、巴珊全地,直到撒迦和以得来,都是巴珊王噩国内的城邑。

11 (利乏音所剩下的只有巴珊王噩。他的床是的,长肘,宽肘,都是以肘为度。现今岂不是在亚扪的拉巴麽?)

12 那时,我们得了这。从亚嫩谷边的亚罗珥起,我将基列山的一半,并其中的城邑,都便人和迦得人。

13 其馀的基列和巴珊全,就是噩王的国,我玛拿西半支派。亚珥歌伯全乃是巴珊全;这做利乏音人之

14 玛拿西的子孙睚珥占了亚珥歌伯全境,直到基述人和玛迦人的交界,就按自己的名称这巴珊地为哈倭特睚珥,直到今日。

15 我又将基列了玛吉。

16 从基列到亚嫩谷,以谷中为界,直到亚扪人交界的雅博,我便人和迦得人,

17 又将亚拉巴和靠近约但河之地,从基尼烈直到亚拉巴,就是,并毗斯迦山根东边之地,都给了他们。

18 那时,我吩咐你们说:耶和华─你们的已将这你们为业;你们所有的勇士都要带着兵器,在你们的弟兄以色列人前面过去。

19 但你们的妻子、孩子、牲畜(我知道你们有许多的牲畜)可以在我所赐你们的各城里。

20 等到你们弟兄在约但河那边,也得耶和华─你们所赐他们的,又使他们得享平安,与你们一样,你们才可以回到我所赐你们为业之

21 那时我吩咐约书亚说:你亲眼见了耶和华─你向这所行的;耶和华也必向你所要去的各国照样行。

22 你不要他们,因那为你争战的是耶和华─你的

23 那时,我恳求耶和华说:

24 耶和华阿,你已将你的大力大能显给仆人。在上,在下,有甚麽神能像你行事、像你有大能的作为呢?

25 求你容我过去,约但河那边的美,就是那佳美的和利巴嫩。

26 耶和华因你们的缘故向我发怒,不应允我,对我:罢了!你不要向我再题这事。

27 你且上毗斯迦山顶去,向东、西、南、举目观望,因为你必不能过这约但河。

28 你却要嘱咐约书亚,勉励他,使他胆壮;因为他必在这百姓前面过去,使他们承受你所要观

29 于是我们在伯毗珥对面的谷中。”

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.
