以西結書 17

Studie

   

1 耶和華的臨到我說:

2 人子啊,你要向以色列家出謎語,設比喻,

3 耶和華如此:有一翅膀,翎毛長,羽毛豐滿,彩色俱備,到利巴嫩,將香柏樹梢擰去,

4 就是折去香柏樹儘尖的嫩枝,叼到貿易之,放在買賣城中;

5 又將以色列的枝子栽於肥田裡,插在大水旁,如插柳樹,

6 就漸漸生長,成為蔓延矮小的葡萄樹。其枝向那鷹,其在鷹以,於是成了葡萄樹,生出枝子,發出小枝。

7 又有翅膀羽毛多。這葡萄樹從栽種的畦中向這彎過來,發出枝子,好得他的澆灌。

8 這樹栽於肥田多水的旁邊,生枝子,結果子,成為佳美的葡萄樹。

9 你要耶和華如此:這葡萄樹豈能發旺呢?鷹豈不拔出他的來,芟除他的果子,使他枯乾,使他發的嫩葉都枯乾了麼?也不用力和多民,就拔出他的來。

10 葡萄樹雖然栽種,豈能發旺呢?一經東,豈不全然枯乾麼?必在生長的畦中枯乾了。

11 耶和華的臨到我說:

12 你對那悖逆之家:你們不知道這些事是甚麼意思麼?你要告訴他們,巴比倫王曾到耶路撒冷,將其中的君王和首領到巴比倫自己那裡去。

13 從以色列的宗室中取一人與他立約,使他發誓,並將國中有勢力的人擄去,

14 使國低微不能自強,惟因守盟約得以存立。

15 他卻背叛巴比倫王,打發使者往埃及去,要他們馬匹和多民。他豈能亨通呢?行這樣事的人豈能逃脫呢?他背約豈能逃脫呢?

16 他輕看向王所起的誓,背棄王與他所立的約。耶和華:我指著我的永生起誓,他定要在立他作王、巴比倫王的京都。

17 敵人築壘造臺,與他打仗的時候,為要剪除多人,法老雖領軍隊群眾,還是不能幫助他。

18 他輕看誓言,背棄盟約,已經投降,卻又做這一切的事,他必不能逃脫。

19 所以耶和華如此:我指著我的永生起誓,他既輕看指我所起的誓,背棄指我所立的約,我必要使這罪歸在他上。

20 我必將我的撒在他身上,他必在我的羅中纏住。我必他到巴比倫,並要在那裡因他干犯我的罪刑罰他。

21 他的一切軍隊,凡逃跑的,都必倒在刀下;所剩下的,也必分散四方(方:原文是)。你們就知道這話的是我─耶和華

22 耶和華如此:我要將香柏樹梢擰去栽上,就是從儘尖的嫩枝中折一嫩枝,栽於極上;

23 以色列處的栽上。他就生枝子,結果子,成為佳美的香柏樹,各類飛都必宿在其,就是宿在枝子的蔭

24 田野的樹木都必知道我─耶和華使矮小,矮大;青枯乾,枯發旺。我─耶和華如此,也如此行了。

4675. 'And Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons' means a joining of the Divine Spiritual of the Rational to the Divine Spiritual of the Natural. This is clear from the representation of Jacob, when he is called 'Israel', as the Divine Spiritual of the Natural, or the celestial manifestation of the spiritual from the natural, dealt with in 4286, 4598; from the representation of 'Joseph' as the Divine Spiritual of the Rational, or the celestial manifestation of the spiritual from the rational, dealt with in 4286, 4592; and from the meaning of 'loving' as being joined together, for love is a joining together spiritually. From all this it is evident that 'Israel loved Joseph' means a joining of the Divine Spiritual of the Rational to the Divine Spiritual of the Natural. That joining together being referred to here, Jacob is not called Jacob at this point, as he is above in verses 1 and 2, but 'Israel'. From this change of name too one may conclude that the internal sense here contains a specific arcanum. But the exact nature of that joining together - of the Divine Spiritual of the Rational to the Divine Spiritual of the Natural - cannot as yet be explained because it is not the subject in the present chapter but in those that follow, where it is going to be explained as far as it is possible to do so. Only this need be mentioned here, that the expression spiritual is used both of the rational and of the natural, for the spiritual is Divine Truth received from the Lord, which is called the spiritual of the rational when it shines within the rational or the internal man, and the spiritual of the natural when it shines from there within the natural or the external man.
