民数记 23

Studie

   

1 巴兰对巴勒:你在这里给我筑,为我豫备只公牛,只公

2 巴勒照巴兰的话行了。巴勒和巴兰在每座上献一只公牛,一只公

3 巴兰对巴勒:你站在你的燔祭旁边,我且往前去,或者耶和华来迎见我。他指示我甚麽,我必告诉你。於是巴兰上一净光的处。

4 迎见巴兰巴兰:我豫备了,在每座上献了一只公牛,一只公

5 耶和华传给巴兰,又:你回到巴勒那里,要如此如此

6 他就回到巴勒那里,见他同摩押的使臣都站在燔祭旁边。

7 巴兰便题起诗歌:巴勒引我出亚兰,摩押王引我出东山,:来阿,为我咒诅雅各;来阿,怒骂以色列

8 神没有咒诅的,我焉能咒诅?耶和华没有怒骂的,我焉能怒骂?

9 我从高峰他,从小山望他;这是独居的民,不列在万民中。

10 谁能数点雅各尘土?谁能计算以色列的四分之一?我愿如人之;我愿如人之终而终。

11 巴勒对巴兰:你向我做的是甚麽事呢?我领你来咒诅我的仇敌,不料,你竟为他们祝福

12 回答耶和华传给我的话,我能不谨慎传麽?

13 巴勒:求你同我往别处去,在那里可以见他们;你不能全见,只能见他们边界上的人。在那里要为我咒诅他们。

14 于是领巴兰到了琐腓田,上了毗斯迦山顶,筑了,每座上献一只公牛,

15 巴兰对巴勒:你站在这燔祭旁边,等我往那边去迎见耶和华

16 耶和华临到巴兰那里,将传给他;又:你回到巴勒那里,要如此如此

17 他就回到巴勒那里,见他站在燔祭旁边;摩押的使臣也和他在一处。巴勒问他耶和华了甚麽话呢?

18 巴兰就题诗歌:巴勒,你起来;西拨的儿子,你我言。

19 神非,必不致谎,也非子,必不致後悔。他说话岂不照着行呢?他发言岂不要成就呢?

20 我奉命祝福;神也曾赐福,此事我不能翻转。

21 他未见雅各中有罪孽,也未见以色列中有奸恶。耶和华─他的和他同在;有欢呼王的声音在他们中间。

22 神领他们出埃及;他们似乎有野牛之力。

23 断没有法术可以害雅各,也没有占卜可以害以色列。现在必有人论及雅各,就是论及以色列:神为他行了何等的大事!

24 这民起来,彷佛母狮,挺身,好像公狮,未曾野食,未曾被伤者之血,决不躺卧。

25 巴勒对巴兰:你一点不要咒诅他们,也不要为他们祝福

26 巴兰回答巴勒:我岂不是告诉耶和华的,我必须遵行麽?

27 巴勒对巴兰:来罢,我领你往别处去,或者喜欢你在那里为我咒诅他们。

28 巴勒就领巴兰到那下望旷野的毗珥山顶上。

29 巴兰对巴勒:你在这里为我筑,又在这里为我豫备只公牛,只公

30 巴勒就照巴兰的话行,在每座上献一只公牛,一只公

'Height' signifies what is inward, and also heaven.

7188. 'For with a strong hand he will send them away' means that with all their strength and power they will flee from them. This is clear from the meaning of 'a strong hand' as all the strength and power (for the meaning of 'hand' as power, see 878, 3387, 4931, 5327, 5318, 6947, 7011); and from the meaning of 'sending them away' as fleeing from them. The implications of this are that when punishments deter those belonging to hell from carrying out evil they at length refrain from molestation; they wish to leave those they have been molesting and to flee. Yet because the one and only delight of their life consists in carrying out what is evil and molesting they are unable to refrain unless they summon up all their strength and power to remove themselves. For since that which is the delight of any person's life is at the centre of his love it is at the centre of his life, and he is carried away; it is irresistible unless the unpleasantness of punishment weighs more heavily with him than the delight of carrying out evil. This is the reason for the punishments that the evil suffer in the next life.
