1 Jen estas la nomoj de la triboj:de la norda rando laux la vojo al HXetlon, en la direkto al HXamat, HXacar-Enan, norde de la limo de Damasko gxis HXamat; cxi tiu regiono de oriente gxis okcidente apartenos sole al Dan.

2 Kaj apud la limo de Dan, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Asxer.

3 Apud la limo de Asxer, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Naftali.

4 Apud la limo de Naftali, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Manase.

5 Apud la limo de Manase, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Efraim.

6 Apud la limo de Efraim, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Ruben.

7 Apud la limo de Ruben, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Jehuda.

8 Apud la limo de Jehuda, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, estos la konsekrita terpeco, kiun vi apartigos, kaj kiu havos la largxon de dudek kvin mil mezurstangoj kaj la longon kiel unu el la partoj de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, kaj en kies mezo estos la sanktejo.

9 La apartigita terpeco, kiun vi konsekros al la Eternulo, havos la longon de dudek kvin mil kaj la largxon de dek mil.

10 Kaj la sankta terpeco estos por la pastroj, havante norden dudek kvin mil, kaj okcidenten la largxon de dek mil, orienten la largxon de dek mil, kaj suden la longon de dudek kvin mil; kaj en gxia mezo estos la sanktejo de la Eternulo.

11 GXi estu sanktigita por la pastroj el la filoj de Cadok, kiuj plenumadis Mian servadon kaj ne defalis de Mi dum la defalo de la Izraelidoj, kiel defalis la Levidoj.

12 Kaj al ili estos apartigita parto el la konsekrita terpeco, kiel plejsanktajxo, apud la limo de la Levidoj.

13 Kaj la Levidoj havos apud la limo de la pastroj dudek kvin mil da longo kaj dek mil da largxo; la tuta longo estos dudek kvin mil, kaj la largxo estos dek mil.

14 Ili nenion devas vendi el tio, nek intersxangxi; la unuaajxo de la lando devas ne transiri, cxar gxi estas konsekrita al la Eternulo.

15 La ceteraj kvin mil da largxo kun dudek kvin mil da longo estas nekonsekrita apartenajxo de la urbo, kiel logxatejo kaj antauxurbo; kaj la urbo estos en la mezo.

16 Jen estas gxiaj dimensioj:la norda rando havos kvar mil kvincent, la suda rando kvar mil kvincent, la orienta rando kvar mil kvincent, kaj la okcidenta rando kvar mil kvincent.

17 La antauxurbo de la urbo havos norde ducent kvindek, kaj sude ducent kvindek, kaj oriente ducent kvindek, kaj okcidente ducent kvindek.

18 Koncerne la ceteran parton de la longo kontraux la sankta terpeco, nome dek mil oriente kaj dek mil okcidente, kiu trovigxas kontraux la sankta terpeco, gxiaj produktajxoj devas servi kiel mangxajxo por la laboristoj de la urbo.

19 En la urbo laboros laboristoj el cxiuj triboj de Izrael.

20 La tuta apartigita terpeco devas havi dudek kvin mil kontraux dudek kvin mil; kvaronon de la sankta terpeco apartigu kiel posedajxon de la urbo.

21 Kio restas de la sanktigita terpeco kaj de la posedajxo de la urbo, de la dudek kvin mil, apartigitaj oriente kaj okcidente, kontraux tiuj partoj, tio apartenu al la princo; kaj la sankta terpeco kaj la sankta domo estos en la mezo.

22 Kio trovigxas inter la apartenajxo de la Levidoj kaj la apartenajxo de la urbo, inter la limo de Jehuda kaj la limo de Benjamen, tio apartenu al la princo.

23 La ceteraj triboj de la rando orienta gxis la rando okcidenta:Benjamen havos unu parton.

24 Apud la limo de Benjamen, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Simeon.

25 Apud la limo de Simeon, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Isahxar.

26 Apud la limo de Isahxar, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Zebulun.

27 Apud la limo de Zebulun, de la orienta rando gxis la okcidenta, havos sian parton Gad.

28 Apud la limo de Gad, cxe la rando suda, estos la limo de Tamar gxis la Akvo de Malpaco apud Kadesx, lauxlonge de la torento gxis la Granda Maro.

29 Tio estas la lando, kiun vi lote dividos kiel heredan posedajxon al la triboj de Izrael, kaj tio estas iliaj partoj, diras la Sinjoro, la Eternulo.

30 Kaj jen estas la randoj de la urbo:sur la norda flanko kvar mil kvincent mezurstangoj;

31 kaj la pordegoj de la urbo estos nomataj laux la nomoj de la triboj de Izrael; tri pordegoj norde:unu Pordego de Ruben, unu Pordego de Jehuda, unu Pordego de Levi.

32 Ankaux sur la orienta flanko kvar mil kvincent mezurstangoj; kaj tri pordegoj:unu Pordego de Jozef, unu Pordego de Benjamen, unu Pordego de Dan.

33 Ankaux sur la suda flanko kvar mil kvincent mezurstangoj; kaj tri pordegoj:unu Pordego de Simeon, unu Pordego de Isahxar, unu Pordego de Zebulun.

34 Ankaux sur la okcidenta flanko kvar mil kvincent; pordegojn gxi havas tri:unu Pordego de Gad, unu Pordego de Asxer, unu Pordego de Naftali.

35 La tuta cxirkauxo havas dek ok mil. Kaj la nomo de la urbo de post tiu tago estos:Eternulo-Tie.

134a. 2. No one is reformed by visions or by conversations with the dead, because they compel. There are two kinds of visions, divine and demonic. Divine visions are given by means of portrayals in heaven, while demonic visions are effected though magical events in hell. There are imaginary visions as well, visions that are the illusions of a mind that has lost its bearings.

Divine visions (which as just noted are given by means of portrayals in heaven) are the kind that happened to the prophets. When they were having these visions they were not in the body but in the spirit, because visions cannot happen to us while we are physically awake. So when the prophets saw visions, it says that they were in the spirit, as the following passages show.

Ezekiel said, "The spirit lifted me up and took me back to Chaldea to the captivity in a vision of God, in the spirit of God; so the vision that I saw came over me" (Ezekiel 11:1, 24). Then too, spirits held him up between earth and heaven and brought him to Jerusalem in visions of God (Ezekiel 8:3 and following). The same thing happened in a vision of God or in the spirit when he saw the four animals that were cherubim (Ezekiel chapters 1 and 10) and when he saw the new temple, the new earth, and the angel measuring them (Ezekiel chapters 40-48). It says in chapter Ezekiel 40:2, 26 that he was in visions of God at the time, and in chapter Ezekiel 43:5 that he was in the spirit.

[2] Zechariah was in the same kind of state when he saw the man on horseback among the myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8 and following), when he saw the four horns and the man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18, 20, 21; Zechariah 2:1 and following), when he saw the lampstand and the two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1 and following), when he saw the flying scroll and the ephah (Zechariah 5:1, 6), and when he saw the four chariots coming out from the four mountains, and the horses (Zechariah 6:1 and following).

Daniel was in the same kind of state when he saw the four beasts rising from the sea (Daniel 6:1 [7:1] and following), and when he saw the battles of the ram and the goat (Daniel 8:1 and following). It says in Daniel 7:1-2, 7, and 13; in Daniel 8:2; and in Daniel 10:1, 7, and 8 that he saw these things in the vision of his spirit, and it says in Daniel 9:21 that he saw the angel Gabriel in a vision.

[3] John was in the vision of the spirit when he saw the things he describes in the Book of Revelation--for example, when he saw the seven lampstands with the Human-born One in their midst (Revelation 1:12-16), when he saw the throne in heaven with someone sitting on it, surrounded by the four animals that were cherubim (Revelation 4), when he saw the book of life taken by the Lamb (Revelation 5), when he saw the horses come out of the book (Revelation 6), when he saw the seven angels with their trumpets (Revelation 8), when he saw the pit of the abyss opened with the locusts coming out of it (Revelation 9), when he saw the dragon and its battle with Michael (Revelation 12), when he saw the two beasts rise up, one from the sea and one from the land (Revelation 13), when he saw the woman sitting on the scarlet beast (Revelation 17) and the destruction of Babylon (Revelation 18), when he saw the white horse with someone riding it (Revelation 18 [19]), when he saw the new heaven and the new earth and the holy Jerusalem coming down from heaven (Revelation 21), and when he saw the river of water of life (Revelation 22). It says that he saw these things in the vision of his spirit in Revelation 1:11 [1:10]; Revelation 4:2; Revelation 5:1; Revelation 6:1; and Revelation 21:12 [21:10].

These were the kinds of visions that were visible from heaven to the sight of their spirits and not to their physical sight.

Things like this do not happen nowadays, because if they did they would not be understood, since they happen by means of images whose details are pointing to inner features of the church and secrets of heaven. It was foretold in Daniel 9:24 that they would stop when the Lord came into the world.

However, demonic visions have sometimes occurred. They are brought about by spirits who inspire deceptive passions and visions and who call themselves the Holy Spirit because of a mental confusion that engulfs them. Now, however, these spirits have been gathered in by the Lord and consigned to a hell separate from the other hells.

We can see from all this that no one can be reformed by any visions except the ones that are in the Word. There are imaginary visions as well, but these are nothing but the illusions of a mind that has lost its bearings.

134b. The story that the Lord told about the rich man in hell and Lazarus in Abraham's lap shows that no one is reformed by conversations with the dead. The rich man said, "Father Abraham, I beg you to send Lazarus to my father's house where I have five brothers, to bear witness to them so that they do not come to this place of torment." Abraham said to him, "They have Moses and the prophets: let them heed them." But he said, "No, father Abraham, but if someone came to them from the dead, they would repent." He answered him, "If they do not heed Moses and the prophets, they would not be convinced if someone rose from the dead" (Luke 16:27-31).

Conversations with the dead may lead to the same results as miracles that I have just described. That is, we may be convinced and be constrained to worship for a short while. However, since this deprives us of rational functioning at the same time that it hems in our evils, as already noted [130-131, 133], this spell or inner restraint is released and the pent-up evils erupt in blasphemy and profanation. Still, this happens only when spirits have imposed some religious dogma. No good spirit--let alone any angel of heaven--would ever do this.
