Levitiko 24

Studie

   

1 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

2 Ordonu al la Izraelidoj, ke ili alportadu al vi oleon olivan, puran, pistitan, por lumigado, por ke lucerno brulu cxiam.

3 Ekster la kurteno de la atesto en la tabernaklo de kunveno Aaron gxin cxiam arangxadu de vespero gxis mateno antaux la Eternulo; tio estu eterna legxo en viaj generacioj.

4 Sur la pure ora kandelabro li arangxadu la lumojn antaux la Eternulo cxiam.

5 Kaj prenu delikatan farunon kaj baku el gxi dek du panojn; el du dekonoj de efo estu cxiu pano;

6 kaj arangxu ilin en du vicoj, po ses en vico, sur la pure ora tablo antaux la Eternulo.

7 Kaj metu sur cxiun vicon puran olibanon, kaj tio estos cxe la pano memorofero, fajrofero al la Eternulo.

8 En cxiu tago sabata oni cxiam arangxu tion antaux la Eternulo; de la Izraelidoj gxi estu eterna interligo.

9 Kaj gxi estu por Aaron kaj por liaj filoj, kaj ili mangxu gxin sur sankta loko, cxar tio estas plejsanktajxo por li el la fajroferoj de la Eternulo; tio estu eterna legxo.

10 Kaj eliris iu filo de virino Izraelida kaj de viro Egipta inter la Izraelidojn, kaj en la tendaro la filo de la Izraelidino ekkverelis kun Izraelido;

11 kaj la filo de la Izraelidino insultis la nomon de Dio kaj blasfemis; kaj oni venigis lin al Moseo. La nomo de lia patrino estis SXelomit, filino de Dibri el la tribo de Dan.

12 Kaj oni metis lin en malliberejon, gxis oni ricevos precizan decidon de la Eternulo.

13 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

14 Elirigu la blasfeminton ekster la tendaron; kaj cxiuj, kiuj auxdis, metu siajn manojn sur lian kapon, kaj la tuta komunumo mortigu lin per sxtonoj.

15 Kaj al la Izraelidoj diru jene:CXiu, kiu blasfemos sian Dion, portos sian pekon.

16 Kiu insultas la nomon de la Eternulo, tiu estu mortigita; per sxtonoj mortigu lin la tuta komunumo. CXu fremdulo, cxu indigxeno, se li blasfemos la nomon de la Eternulo, estu mortigita.

17 Se iu mortigos iun homon, oni lin mortigu.

18 Kiu mortigos bruton, tiu pagu pro gxi:beston pro besto.

19 Se iu faris difekton al sia proksimulo, oni faru al li tiel, kiel li faris:

20 rompon pro rompo, okulon pro okulo, denton pro dento; kian difekton li faris al homo, tian oni faru al li.

21 Kaj kiu mortigis bruton, pagu pro gxi; sed kiu mortigis homon, estu mortigita.

22 La sama jugxo estu cxe vi cxu por fremdulo, cxu por indigxeno; cxar Mi estas la Eternulo, via Dio.

23 Kaj Moseo diris al la Izraelidoj, kaj oni elirigis la blasfeminton ekster la tendaron kaj mortigis lin per sxtonoj; kaj la Izraelidoj faris, kiel la Eternulo ordonis al Moseo.

4236. 'And Jacob said [when he saw them], This is God's camp' means heaven. 'God's camp' means heaven, for the reason that 'an army' means truths and goods, 3448, and goods and truths are arranged by the Lord in conformity with heavenly order. Hence the arrangement of them like armies when arrayed is meant by 'an encampment', and the heavenly order itself, which is heaven, by 'a camp'. This camp or order is such that it cannot in any way be broken apart by hell, despite the constant effort from hell to break it apart. This also is why this order, which is heaven, is referred to as 'a camp', and why truths and goods, that is, angels, who are arranged in conformity with that order are called 'armies'. From all this it is now evident how 'God's camp' comes to mean heaven. It is that actual order, and so heaven itself, which was represented by the encampments of the children of Israel in the wilderness; and their actual dwelling together there according to their tribes was referred to as 'the camp'. The Tabernacle pitched in the middle and around which they encamped represented the Lord Himself. Regarding the children of Israel's encampment in this manner, see Numbers 1:1-end, and 33:2-56; and regarding their encampment around the Tabernacle according to their tribes - Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun to the east; Reuben, Simeon, and Gad to the south; Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin to the west; Dan, Asher, and Naphtali to the north; and the Levites in the middle next to the Tabernacle - Numbers 2:2 and following verses.

[2] The tribes' means all goods and truths in their entirety, see 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 4060. Consequently when Balaam saw Israel dwelling according to tribes and the Spirit of God came upon him, he delivered the utterance,

How good your tabernacles are, O Jacob; your dwelling-places, O Israel! They are like valleys that are planted, like gardens beside a river. Numbers 24:2-3, 5-6.

It is quite plain that this prophecy did not mean the people named Jacob and Israel but that it was the Lord's heaven which was represented. This also is why in other places in the Word their ordered settlements in the wilderness, or encampments according to tribes, are called camps, and in those places 'a camp' in the internal sense means heavenly order and 'encampment' an arrangement in conformity with that order, that is to say, with the order in which goods and truths exist in heaven - as in Leviticus 4:12; 8:17; 13:46; 14:8; 16:26, 28; 24:14, 23; Numbers 3; 4:4 and following verses; 5:2-4; Numbers 9:17-end; 10:1-10, 28; 11:31-32; 12:14-15; 31:19-24; Deuteronomy 23:9-14.

[3] The meaning of 'God's camp' as heaven may also be seen in Joel,

The earth quaked before Him, the heavens trembled. The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars gathered back their shining; and Jehovah gave voice before His army, for His camp is exceedingly many; for that which executes His word is uncountable. Joel 2:10-11.

In Zechariah,

I will encamp by My house with an army set against anyone passing through and against anyone leaving, so that the oppressor passes over them no more. Zechariah 9:8.

In John,

Gog and Magog went up over the breadth 1 of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; but fire came down 2 from God and consumed them. Revelation 20:9.

'Gog and Magog' stands for people whose worship is external separated from internal - worship that has become idolatrous, 1151. 'The breadth of the earth' stands for truth possessed by the Church - 'breadth', or a plain, meaning truth that constitutes doctrinal teaching, 2450, and 'earth' the Church, 556, 662, 1066, 1067, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355. 'The camp of the saints' stands for heaven or the Lord's kingdom on earth, which is the Church.

[4] Since most things in the Word also have a contrary sense, so too does the word 'camp'. In this case it means evils and falsities, and consequently hell, as in David,

Though the evil pitch camp against me, my heart will not fear. Psalms 27:3.

In the same author,

God has scattered the bones of those encamping against you; 3 you have put them to shame, for God has rejected them. Psalms 53:5.

The camp of Asshur in which the angel of Jehovah smote a hundred and eighty-five thousand, Isaiah 37:36, does not have any other meaning, nor likewise does the camp of the Egyptians, Exodus 14:19-20.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, the plain

2. The Latin means went up, but the Greek means came down, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

3. The Latin means me, but the Hebrew means you.
