如申命记 27

1 摩西以色列的長老吩咐百姓說:你們要遵守我今日所吩咐的一切誡命

2 你們過約但河,到了耶和華─你所賜你的,當要立起幾塊石頭,墁上灰,

3 把這律法的一切在石頭上。你過了河,可以進入耶和華─你所賜你流奶與蜜之,正如耶和華─你列祖之所應許你的。

4 你們過了約但河,就要在以巴路上照我今日所吩咐的,將這些石頭立起來,墁上灰。

5 在那裡要為耶和華─你的築一座;在石頭上不可動器。

6 要用沒有鑿過的石頭耶和華─你,在上要將燔祭獻給耶和華─你的

7 又要獻平安祭,且在那裡,在耶和華─你的面前歡樂。

8 你要將這律法的一切明明的石頭上。

9 摩西祭司利未人曉諭以色列眾人以色列阿,要默默靜。你今日成為耶和華─你的百姓了。

10 所以要耶和華─你的話,遵行他的誡命律例,就是我今日所吩咐你的。

11 當日,摩西囑咐百姓

12 你們過了約但河,西緬、利未、猶大、以薩迦、約瑟、便雅憫六個支派的人都要站在基利心上為百姓祝福

13 流便、迦得、亞設、西布倫、但、拿弗他利六個支派的人都要站在以巴路上宣布咒詛。

14 利未要向以色列高聲

15 製造耶和華所憎惡的偶像,或雕刻,或鑄造,就是工匠所做的,在暗中設立,那必受咒詛!百姓都要答應:阿們!

16 輕慢父母的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

17 挪移鄰舍地界的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

18 使瞎子走差的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

19 向寄居的和孤兒寡婦屈枉正直的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

20 與繼母行淫的,必受咒詛!因為掀開他父親的衣襟。百姓都要:阿們!

21 淫合的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

22 與異母同父,或異父同母的姊妹行淫的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

23 與岳母行淫的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

24 暗中殺人的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

25 受賄賂害死無辜之人的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

26 不堅守遵行這律法言語的,必受咒詛!百姓都要:阿們!

210. "'Blind and naked.'" This symbolically means that they lack any understanding of truth or will for good.

The blind in the Word mean people who lack truths, either because of a deficiency of truths in the church and thus their ignorance of them, or because of their failure to understand them. And the naked mean people who are consequently without goods, for all spiritual good is attained through truths.

It is just these who are meant by the blind in the following passages:

Then in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness... the eyes of the blind shall see. (Isaiah 29:18)

Behold, your God will come... Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened... (Isaiah 35:4-6)

I will... give You... as a light to the gentiles, to open blind eyes... (Isaiah 42:6-7)

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know... I will turn their darkness into light... (Isaiah 42:16)

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears. (Isaiah 43:8)

His watchmen are (all) blind... and do not know understanding. (Isaiah 56:10-11)

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so that they do not see with their eyes or understand with the heart... (John 12:40)

Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be made blind. (John 9:39-41)

(Blind guides, stupid and foolish.) (Matthew 23:16-17, 19, 24)

...blind leaders of the blind. (Matthew 15:14, cf. Luke 6:39)

Because of the symbolism of a blind man and blindness, it was forbidden for someone blind to make a sacrifice, or for someone to offer anything blind as a sacrifice (Leviticus 21:18, Deuteronomy 15:21). They were not to put a stumblingblock before the blind (Leviticus 19:14). Cursed would be anyone who caused the blind to go astray (Deuteronomy 27:18).

For the symbolism of the naked and nakedness, see no. 213 below.
