Deuteronomium 27

Studie

   

1 I přikázal Mojžíš a starší Izraelští lidu, řkouce: Ostříhejž každého přikázaní, kteréž já přikazuji vám dnes.

2 A když přejdeš přes Jordán do země, kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě, vyzdvihneš sobě kameny veliké, a obvržeš je vápnem.

3 A napíšeš na nich všecka slova zákona tohoto, když přejdeš, abys všel do země, kterouž Hospodin Bůh tvůj dává tobě, do země oplývající mlékem a strdí, jakož jest mluvil Hospodin Bůh otců tvých tobě.

4 Když tedy přejdeš Jordán a vyzdvihneš ty kameny, kteréž já přikazuji vám dnes, na hoře Hébal, a obvržeš je vápnem,

5 A vzděláš tam oltář Hospodinu Bohu svému: oltář z kamenů, jichž nebudeš tesati železem,

6 Z kamení celého vzděláš oltář Hospodinu Bohu svému, abys na něm obětoval oběti zápalné Hospodinu Bohu svému.

7 Obětovati budeš i oběti pokojné, a jísti tu a veseliti se před Hospodinem Bohem svým.

8 Napíšeš pak na těch kameních všecka slova zákona toho dobře a zřetelně.

9 I mluvil Mojžíš a kněží Levítští ke všemu Izraelovi, řkouce: Pozoruj a slyš, Izraeli, dnes učiněn jsi lidem Hospodina Boha svého.

10 Protož poslouchej hlasu Hospodina Boha svého, a zachovávej přikázaní jeho i ustanovení jeho, kteráž já tobě dnes přikazuji.

11 I přikázal Mojžíš v ten den lidu, řka:

12 Tito stanou, aby dobrořečili lidu na hoře Garizim, když byste přešli Jordán: Simeon, Léví, Juda, Izachar, Jozef a Beniamin.

13 Tito pak stanou, aby zlořečili na hoře Hébal: Ruben, Gád, Asser, Zabulon, Dan a Neftalím.

14 I budou osvědčovati Levítové, a řeknou ke všechněm mužům Izraelským vysokým hlasem:

15 Zlořečený člověk, kterýž by udělal rytinu aneb věc slitou, ohavnost Hospodinu, dílo rukou řemeslníka, by ji pak i do skrýše odložil. I odpoví všecken lid a řekne: Amen.

16 Zlořečený, kdož sobě zlehčuje otce svého a matku svou; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

17 Zlořečený, kdož přenáší mezník bližního svého; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

18 Zlořečený, kdož zavodí slepého, aby bloudil po cestě; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

19 Zlořečený, kdož převrací spravedlnost příchozího, sirotka a vdovy; a odpoví všecken lid: Amen.

20 Zlořečený, kdož by obýval s manželkou otce svého, nebo odkryl podolek otce svého; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

21 Zlořečený, kdož by obýval s kterýmkoli hovadem; i dí všecken lid: Amen.

22 Zlořečený, kdož by obýval s sestrou svou, dcerou otce svého, aneb dcerou matky své; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

23 Zlořečený, kdož by obýval s svegruší svou; i odpoví všecken lid: Amen.

24 Zlořečený, kdož by zbil bližního svého tajně; i řekne všecken lid: Amen.

25 Zlořečený, kdož by vzal dary, aby zabil člověka nevinného; i dí všecken lid: Amen.

26 Zlořečený, kdož by nezůstal v řečech zákona tohoto a nečinil jich; a řekne všecken lid: Amen.

10040. As the flesh of the bullock with its skin and dung was to be burnt with fire without the camp, it can be seen that by its “flesh” was not signified the good of love, but the evil of love, according to what was said of its flesh above (n. 10035), and of the camp just above (n. 10038). But that the eating of the flesh of the sacrifice was allowed, as can be seen from the passages which follow, was because that nation, while in worship, was in the external without the internal (see the places cited in n. 9320, 9380); and the external without the internal is not at all holy, because then there is only gesture of the body and speech of the mouth, and the heart and soul are absent. Nevertheless the external without the internal was called holy, because it represented holy internal things. Holy internal things are all things that belong to love and faith from the Lord to the Lord. As that nation was of this character, they were not allowed to eat blood and fat, because by “blood” was signified the Divine truth which is of faith, and by “fat” the Divine good which is of love, both from the Lord (see above, n. 10033); but they were allowed to eat the flesh of the sacrifice, because it signified what is man’s own (n. 10035), and the own of that nation was to worship external things as holy, and to make no account whatever of internal things; which worship, except as a representative that was holy, was idolatrous (n. 4281, 4311). Moreover, representatively “flesh” is nothing else, seeing that its blood represented Divine truth and its fat Divine good (n. 10033), for in this case the flesh represented something without life and soul, which is called dead, as is the external without the internal, according to these words in Moses:

Thou shalt not eat the blood, for the blood is the soul; thou shalt not eat the soul with the flesh (Deuteronomy 12:23).

[2] Worship is nearly similar with the Gentile people of the Catholic religion, as it is called, namely, external without internal; for it is not granted to the common people to know the internal things of the Word, seeing that they are not allowed to read the Word. For this reason also it has of the Lord’s Divine Providence come to pass that in the Holy Supper the bread is given, which is “the flesh;” and not the wine, which is “the blood;” and yet the blood is what gives life to the flesh, as the wine does to the bread. For as bread without wine does not give nourishment to the body, so neither does the good of love, which is signified by “bread” and by “flesh,” without the truth of faith, which is signified by “wine” and by “blood,” give nourishment to the soul. By the Divine Providence of the Lord it has also come to pass that the priest should drink up the wine, because by this is signified the nourishment of the soul by Divine truth without the good of love, which is a holy external without a holy internal. That this has come to pass by the Divine Providence of the Lord they do not know, because they idolatrously adore external things, and thus do not apprehend internal ones; and therefore if they had acted differently they would have profaned holy things just like the Jews. By drinking wine alone, is also signified alone to know Divine truth, and not the common people, except insofar and in such a way as the priests wish, as also is the case there. (That in the Holy Supper the flesh and the bread denote the Divine good of the Lord’s Divine love toward the human race, and the reciprocal love of man to the Lord; and that the blood and the wine denote the Divine truth that proceeds from the Lord’s Divine good, thus the truth of faith from the Lord to the Lord, see n. 3464, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 6135, 6377, 6789, 7850, 9127) As regards the flesh of the sacrifices, when it was to be brought forth out of the camp, and burned with fire, see Leviticus 4:11-12, 21; and when and by whom it was to be eaten, Leviticus 6:19 end; 7:6, 15-19 19:5-6; Deuteronomy 12:7, 17-18, 27; 26:6-7.

4217. And Laban departed and returned to his place. That this signifies the end of the representation by Laban, is evident from the signification of “returning to his place,” as being to return to the former state. (That “place” is state, see above, n. 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 3404.) Consequently by these words is signified the end of the representation by Laban. From all that has been shown it may be seen that all things in the Word both in general and particular contain interior things, and that the interior things are of such a nature as to be adapted to the perception of the angels who are with man. For example: when “bread” is mentioned in the Word, the angels become aware not of material but of spiritual bread; thus instead of bread they perceive the Lord, who is the Bread of life, as He Himself teaches in John 6:33, 35.

And because they perceive the Lord, they perceive what is from the Lord, thus His love toward the universal human race; and they then perceive at the same time man’s reciprocal love to the Lord; for these two things cohere in one idea of thought and affection.

[2] Not unlike this are the thoughts of the man who is in a holy state when receiving the bread of the Holy Supper; for he then thinks not of bread, but of the Lord and His mercy, and of what is of love to Him and of charity toward the neighbor, because he thinks of repentance and amendment of life; but this with variety according to the holiness in which he is, not only as to his thought, but also as to his affection. From this it is manifest that “bread” as mentioned in the Word suggests to the angels no idea of bread, but the idea of love, together with innumerable things that are of love. It is the same with “wine,” which when read of in the Word, and also when received in the Holy Supper, suggests to the angels no thought of wine, but of charity toward the neighbor. This being the case, and as in this way there is a connection of man with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord, the bread and wine have become symbols, and unite the man who is in holiness of life with heaven, and through heaven with the Lord.

[3] The same is the case with everything in the Word, and therefore the Word is a medium uniting man with the Lord; and unless there were such a uniting medium, heaven could not inflow with man; for without a medium there would be no unition, but heaven would remove itself away from man; and if this were removed, no one could any longer be led to good, not even to corporeal and worldly good; but all bonds whatever, even those which are external, would be broken. For the Lord rules the man who is in good by means of internal bonds, which are of conscience; but one who is in evil by external bonds alone; and if these should be broken, every such man would become insane; even as is the man who is without fear of the law, without fear for his life, and without fear of the loss of honor and gain, and thus of reputation-for these are the external bonds-and so the human race would perish. From all this it may be seen why the Word exists, and what the character of the Word is. (That the church of the Lord where the Word is, is like the heart and the lungs, and that the church of the Lord where the Word is not, is like the rest of the viscera which live from the heart and the lungs, may be seen above, n. 637, 931, 2054, 2853)
