Hosea 3

Studie

   

1 Sitten sanoi Herra minulle: "Mene vielä ja rakasta naista, jota hänen puolisonsa rakastaa, mutta joka rikkoo avion, niinkuin Herra rakastaa israelilaisia, mutta nämä kääntyvät muiden jumalien puoleen ja rakastavat rypälekakkuja".

2 Niin minä hankin hänet itselleni viidellätoista sekelillä hopeata ynnä hoomer-mitalla ja letek-mitalla ohria.

3 Ja minä sanoin hänelle: "Ole kauan aikaa minua varten; älä harjoita haureutta äläkä mene muille miehille. Minä myös teen samoin sinua kohtaan."

4 Sillä kauan aikaa saavat israelilaiset olla ilman kuningasta ja ruhtinasta, ilman uhria ja patsasta, ilman kasukkaa ja kotijumalia.

5 Senjälkeen israelilaiset kääntyvät ja etsivät Herraa, Jumalaansa, ja Daavidia, kuningastansa. Vavisten he lähestyvät Herraa ja hänen hyvyyttänsä päivien lopulla.

6179. 'Put now your hand under my thigh' means a sacred bond. This is clear from the meaning of 'putting a hand under the thigh' as a bond established through what is connected with conjugial love, by all one's power, for 'hand' means power, 878, 3091, 4931-4937, 5728, 5544, and 'thigh' what is connected with conjugial love, dealt with in 3021, 4277, 4280, 4575, 5050, 5062. The conjugial relationship in the supreme sense is the union within the Lord of the Divine and the Divine Human. From this it is the union of Divine Good and Divine Truth in heaven, for what goes forth from the Lord is Divine Truth from Divine Good. This is why heaven is heaven and is called a marriage, for the existence there of goodness and truth joined together, which go forth from the Lord, is what makes heaven. Also, since the Lord is the good there, and heaven is the truth from it, the Lord is in the Word called 'the bridegroom', while heaven and also the Church is called 'the bride'. For goodness and truth constitute a marriage, and the existence of the two joined together is meant by the conjugial relationship. From this one may see how sacred it to be bound by what is of a conjugial nature, meant by 'putting a hand under the thigh'. From that marriage, the marriage of goodness and truth, genuine conjugial love comes down, regarding which love and its holiness, see 2727-2759.
