1 Samuel 5

Studie

   

1 Kui vilistid olid võtnud Jumala laeka, viisid nad selle Eben-Eeserist Asdodisse.

2 Ja vilistid võtsid Jumala laeka ning viisid selle Daagoni kotta ja asetasid Daagoni kõrvale.

3 Kui asdodlased teisel päeval vara üles tõusid, vaata, siis lamas Daagon silmili maas Issanda laeka ees. Nad võtsid Daagoni ja panid selle ta paika.

4 Kui nad järgmisel päeval hommikul vara üles tõusid, vaata, siis lamas Daagon silmili maas Issanda laeka ees, ja Daagoni pea ja mõlemad käelabad olid äraraiutuina lävel, üksnes Daagoni keha oli järele jäänud.

5 Sellepärast ei astu Asdodis kuni tänapäevani Daagoni preestrid ega ükski Daagoni kotta mineja Daagoni koja lävele.

6 Ja Issanda käsi oli raskesti asdodlaste peal, ta laastas neid ja lõi pärasoolepaisetega Asdodit ja selle maa-alasid.

7 Kui Asdodi mehed nägid, kuidas lugu oli, siis nad ütlesid: 'Ärgu jäägu Iisraeli Jumala laegas meie juurde, sest tema käsi on meie ja meie jumala Daagoni vastu vali!'

8 Ja nad läkitasid sõna ning kogusid kõik vilistite vürstid eneste juurde ja küsisid: 'Mida peaksime tegema Iisraeli Jumala laekaga?' Ja nad vastasid: 'Viidagu Iisraeli Jumala laegas Gatti!' Ja nad viisid Iisraeli Jumala laeka sinna.

9 Aga pärast seda, kui nad selle olid sinna viinud, tabas Issanda käsi linna väga suure jahmatusega: ta lõi linna inimesi, niihästi pisikesi kui suuri, nõnda et neile tekkisid pärasoolepaised.

10 Siis nad läkitasid Jumala laeka Ekronisse; aga kui Jumala laegas jõudis Ekronisse, kisendasid ekronlased, öeldes: 'Nad on toonud Iisraeli Jumala laeka minu juurde, surmama mind ja mu rahvast!'

11 Ja nad läkitasid sõna ning kogusid kõik vilistite vürstid ja ütlesid: 'Saatke ära Iisraeli Jumala laegas, et see saaks tagasi oma paika ega tapaks mind ja mu rahvast!' Sest kogu linnas oli surmahirm, Jumala käsi oli seal väga ränk.

12 Neid inimesi, kes ei surnud, löödi pärasoolepaisetega; linna hädakisa aga tõusis taevani.

1703. That the name 'a Hebrew' is used in the Word in reference to things which have to do with some form of service is clear from the following places: In Moses,

When your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold to you, and serves you for six years, then in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. Deuteronomy 15:12.

Here the expressions 'a Hebrew men' and 'a Hebrew women' are used because servitude is the subject. In Jeremiah,

At the end of seven years you shall let go every man his brother that is a Hebrew who has been sold to you and has served you for six years. Jeremiah 34:9, 14.

Here similarly the name 'Hebrew' occurs because servitude is the subject, though the sons of Jacob are not called Hebrews in other places in the Prophets. In Samuel,

The Philistines said, Take heart and acquit yourselves like men, lest you be slaves to the Hebrews as they have served you. 1 Samuel 4:9.

Here the meaning is similar.

[2] In Moses,

Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, Thus said Jehovah the God of the Hebrews, Let My people go so that they may serve Me. Exodus 9:1, 13; 10:3.

Here too because of their servitude they were called Hebrews. Potiphar's wife referred to Joseph as a Hebrew,

She called to the men of her house, and said to them, See, he has brought us a Hebrew man to make sport of us. Genesis 39:14.

He is called 'a Hebrew' because he was a slave there. The chief of the cup-bearers said to Pharaoh,

There was with us a Hebrew lad, a slave of the chief of the guards, and he interpreted our dreams to us. Genesis 41:12.

In addition the Egyptians called the children of Israel Hebrews, because they were slaves, or in slavery, as is well known from Exodus 1:15-16, 19, and elsewhere.
