Nombroj 25

Studie

   

1 Kaj Izrael logxis en SXitim, kaj la popolo komencis malcxastadi kun la filinoj de Moab.

2 Kaj ili invitadis la popolon al la oferoj de siaj dioj, kaj la popolo mangxadis kaj klinigxadis antaux iliaj dioj.

3 Kaj Izrael aligxis al Baal-Peor; kaj ekflamis la kolero de la Eternulo kontraux Izrael.

4 Kaj la Eternulo diris al Moseo:Prenu cxiujn estrojn de la popolo kaj pendigu ilin al la Eternulo kontraux la suno, kaj deturnigxos de Izrael la furiozo de la kolero de la Eternulo.

5 Kaj Moseo diris al la jugxistoj de Izrael:Mortigu cxiu siajn homojn, kiuj aligxis al Baal-Peor.

6 Kaj jen iu el la Izraelidoj venis kaj alkondukis al siaj fratoj Midjanidinon antaux la okuloj de Moseo kaj antaux la okuloj de la tuta komunumo de Izrael, dum ili ploris cxe la pordo de la tabernaklo de kunveno.

7 Kiam tion vidis Pinehxas, filo de Eleazar, la filo de la pastro Aaron, li levigxis el inter la komunumo kaj prenis ponardegon en sian manon.

8 Kaj li iris post la Izraelido en la dormejon, kaj trapikis ilin ambaux, la Izraelidon kaj la virinon tra sxia ventro; kaj tiam cxesigxis la punfrapado de la Izraelidoj.

9 Kaj la nombro de la mortintoj per la punfrapado estis dudek kvar mil.

10 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

11 Pinehxas, filo de Eleazar, la filo de la pastro Aaron, deturnis Mian koleregon de la Izraelidoj, cxar li fervoris pri Mi inter ili, kaj Mi ne ekstermis la Izraelidojn en Mia severeco.

12 Tial diru:Jen Mi donas al li Mian interligon pri paco;

13 kaj gxi estu por li kaj por lia idaro post li interligo de eterna pastreco, pro tio, ke li fervoris pri sia Dio kaj pekliberigis la Izraelidojn.

14 La nomo de la mortigita Izraelido, kiu estis mortigita kune kun la Midjanidino, estis Zimri, filo de Salu, cxefo de patrodomo el la Simeonidoj;

15 kaj la nomo de la mortigita Midjanidino estis Kozbi, filino de Cur, estro de la anoj de patrodomo en Midjan.

16 Kaj la Eternulo ekparolis al Moseo, dirante:

17 Estu malamikoj al la Midjanidoj kaj batu ilin;

18 cxar ili estas malamikoj al vi per sia insido, kiun ili faris al vi per Peor, kaj per Kozbi, la filino de la Midjana estro, ilia fratino mortigita en la tago de la punfrapado pro Peor.

731. Where she hath a place prepared by God, signifies the state of the church that in the meantime provision may be made for it among more. This is evident from the signification of "place," as being state (of which presently); also from the signification of "prepared by God," as being to be provided by the Lord, for what is done by man is prepared, but what is done by the Lord is provided. Moreover, to be provided is predicated of the state that is signified by "place," while "to be prepared" is predicated of "place." It signifies that the state in the meantime may be provided among more, because the woman's fleeing into the wilderness signifies that the church is as yet among few, because with those who are not in good and consequently not in truths (See the preceding article, n. 730; therefore it follows that these words, namely, "where the woman hath a place prepared by God" signify the state of the church, that in the meantime provision may be made for it among more; and what next follows, namely, "that they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and sixty days," signifies until it grows to fullness (See below, n. 732. But this state of the church that is meant by "the place of the woman in the wilderness" is more fully treated of in what follows in this chapter, for it is said that "there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she would be nourished a time and times and half a time from the face of the dragon," with many other things.

[2] "Place" signifies state because spaces, places, and distances, in the spiritual world, are in their origin states of life. These, indeed, appear there just the same as in this world, and yet they are different in this respect, that the quality of everyone is known from the place where he dwells, and where he dwells is known from what he is; thus it is in general in respect to the places of all according to quarters, and also in particular in respect to places in societies, and more particularly in respect to places in the houses, and even in the rooms. From this it is clear that place and quality of state act as one, and this for the reason that all things in the spiritual world that appear before the eyes, even to the lands, are correspondences of things spiritual; this is why "place" signifies state. (That spaces, places, and distances, are in their origin states, and thence in the Word signify states, see (Heaven and Hell 191-199) in the work on Heaven and Hell 191-199, in the article on Space in Heaven. ) For the same reason it is customary in our world to designate state by place, as to have a high place, an eminent place, and a distinguished place, for a high, eminent or distinguished state.

[3] From this it may appear what is meant by the Lord's words to His disciples:

That in His Father's house there are many mansions, and that He would go to prepare a place for them; and if He should go and prepare a place for them that He would come and take them to Himself (John 14:2, 3).

"To prepare a place for them" signifies to provide heaven for everyone according to the state of his life, for "the disciples" mean all who are to be of His church. And in Luke:

When the unclean spirit goeth out of a man he wandereth through dry places seeking rest (Luke 11:24).

"The unclean spirit going out of a man" signifies the removal of evils and the consequent falsities from man when he is repentant; the "dry places through which he wanders seeking rest" signify the states of evil and falsity that belong to his life. So elsewhere in the Word where place and places are mentioned.
