Richter 5

Studie

   

1 Und Debora und Barak, der Sohn Abinoams, sangen an selbigem Tage und sprachen:

2 Weil Führer führten in Israel, weil freiwillig sich stellte das Volk, preiset Jehova!

3 Höret, ihr Könige; horchet auf, ihr Fürsten! Ich will, ja, ich will Jehova singen und spielen Jehova, dem Gott Israels!

4 Jehova! Als du auszogest von Seir, als du einherschrittest vom Gefilde Edoms, da erzitterte die Erde; auch troffen die Himmel, auch troffen die Wolken von Wasser.

5 Die Berge erbebten vor Jehova, jener Sinai vor Jehova, dem Gott Israels.

6 In den Tagen Schamgars, des Sohnes Anaths, in den Tagen Jaels feierten die Pfade, und die Wanderer betretener Wege gingen krumme Pfade.

7 Es feierten die Landstädte in Israel, sie feierten, bis ich, Debora, aufstand, bis ich aufstand, eine Mutter in Israel.

8 Es erwählte neue Götter; da war Streit an den Toren! Ward wohl Schild und Lanze gesehen unter vierzigtausend in Israel?

9 Mein Herz gehört den Führern Israels, denen, die sich freiwillig stellten im Volke. Preiset Jehova!

10 Die ihr reitet auf weißroten Eselinnen, die ihr sitzet auf Teppichen, und die ihr wandelt auf dem Wege, singet!

11 Fern von der Stimme der Bogenschützen, zwischen den Schöpfrinnen, dort sollen sie preisen die gerechten Taten Jehovas, die gerechten Taten an seinen Landstädten in Israel. Da zog das Volk Jehovas hinab zu den Toren.

12 Wache auf, wache auf, Debora! Wache auf, wache auf, sprich ein Lied! Mache dich auf, Barak, und führe gefangen deine Gefangenen, Sohn Abinoams!

13 Da zog hinab ein Überrest der Edlen und des Volkes; Jehova zog zu mir herab unter den Helden.

14 Von Ephraim zogen hinab, deren Stammsitz unter Amalek ist; hinter dir her Benjamin, unter deinen Völkern; von Makir zogen hinab die Führer, und von Sebulon, die den Feldherrnstab halten.

15 Und die Fürsten in Issaschar waren mit Debora; und Issaschar gleich Barak; er wurde seinen Füßen nach ins Tal gesandt. An den Bächen Rubens waren große Beschlüsse des Herzens.

16 Warum bliebest du zwischen den Hürden, das Flöten bei den Herden zu hören? An den Bächen Rubens waren große Beratungen des Herzens.

17 Gilead ruhte jenseit des Jordan; und Dan, warum weilte er auf Schiffen? Aser blieb am Gestade des Meeres, und an seinen Buchten ruhte er.

18 Sebulon ist ein Volk, das seine Seele dem Tode preisgab, auch Naphtali auf den Höhen des Gefildes.

19 Könige kamen, sie stritten; da stritten die Könige Kanaans zu Taanak an den Wassern Megiddos: Beute an Silber trugen sie nicht davon.

20 Vom Himmel her stritten, von ihren Bahnen aus stritten die Sterne mit Sisera.

21 Der Bach Kison riß sie hinweg, der Bach der Urzeit, der Bach Kison. Du, meine Seele, tratest die Starken nieder!

22 Da stampften die Hufe der Rosse vom Rennen, dem Rennen ihrer Gewaltigen.

23 Fluchet Meros! spricht der Engel Jehovas, verfluchet seine Bewohner! Denn sie sind nicht Jehova zu Hilfe gekommen, Jehova zu Hilfe unter den Helden.

24 Gesegnet vor Weibern sei Jael, das Weib Hebers, des Keniters, vor Weibern in Zelten Gesegnet!

25 Wasser verlangte er, Milch gab sie; in einer Schale der Edlen reichte sie geronnene Milch.

26 Ihre Hand streckte sie aus nach dem Pflocke und ihre Rechte nach dem Hammer der Arbeiter; und sie hämmerte auf Sisera, zerschmetterte sein Haupt und zerschlug und durchbohrte seine Schläfe.

27 Zwischen ihren Füßen krümmte er sich, fiel, lag da; zwischen ihren Füßen krümmte er sich, fiel; da, wo er sich krümmte, fiel er überwältigt.

28 Durchs Fenster schaute aus Siseras Mutter und rief ängstlich durch das Gitter: Warum zaudert sein Wagen zu kommen? Warum zögern die Tritte seiner Gespanne?

29 Die Klugen unter ihren Edelfrauen antworten ihr, und sie selbst erwidert sich ihre Reden:

30 Finden sie nicht, teilen sie nicht Beute? Ein Mädchen, zwei Mädchen auf den Kopf eines Mannes? Beute an bunten Gewändern für Sisera, Beute an buntgewirkten Gewändern; zwei buntgewirkte Gewänder für den Hals der Gefangenen. -

31 Also mögen umkommen alle deine Feinde, Jehova! Aber die ihn lieben, seien wie die Sonne aufgeht in ihrer Kraft! Und das Land hatte Ruhe vierzig Jahre.

9420. And Moses went up unto the mountain of God. That this signifies toward heaven, is evident from the signification of “Mount Sinai,” which is here “the mountain of God,” as being the Law or Divine truth which is from the Lord, thus the Word such as it is in heaven, consequently also heaven (see n. 8399, 8753, 8793, 8805). The reason why the revelation was made on a mountain, and this mountain is called “the mountain of God,” is that a “mountain” signifies the celestial of love, which is good, and consequently it signifies heaven, and in the supreme sense the the Lord, (n. 795, 796, 2722, 4210, 6435, 8327); and “the mountain of God” signifies Divine truth from the Divine good of the Lord’s Divine love (n. 8758); for in the Word the Lord is called “God” from Divine truth, and “Jehovah” from Divine good (n. 2769, 2807, 2822, 3921, 4295, 4402, 7010, 7268, 8192, 8301, 8988, 9167). From this it is called “the mountain of God.”

[2] That “Mount Sinai” denotes the Law, or the Divine truth that proceeds from the Divine good of the Lord, thus the Word, and in the supreme sense the Lord, is evident in David:

The earth trembled, the heavens also dripped at the presence of God; even this Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel. The chariots of God are two myriads, thousands of peaceful ones; the Lord is in them, Sinai is in the sanctuary (Psalms 68:8, 17).

That “the earth” and “the heavens” denote the external and the internal of the church, see n. 1733, 2117, 2118, 3355, 4535; and that a “chariot” denotes doctrine, n. 2760, 5321, 8146, 8148, 8215. Hence “the chariots of God” denote doctrinal things, or truths Divine, such as are in the heavens. From this it is plain that by “this Sinai at the presence of God, the God of Israel,” and by “Sinai in the sanctuary,” is signified the Law, or Divine truth proceeding from the Divine good of the Lord, and in the supreme sense the Lord in heaven. In the book of Judges:

Jehovah, when Thou wentest forth out of Seir, when Thou marched out of the field of Edom, the earth trembled, the heavens also dripped, the clouds also dripped water. The mountains flowed down before Jehovah, this Sinai before Jehovah (Judg. 5:4-5 (Judges 5:6)); where also “this Sinai” denotes the Divine truth proceeding from the Divine good of the Lord. In like manner in Moses:

Jehovah came from Sinai, and rose from Seir unto them; He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came from the myriads of holiness; from His right hand was the fire of the law to them (Deuteronomy 33:2).

Arcana Coelestia # 3355

3355. That in the internal sense an “earthquake” signifies a change in the state of the church, is evident from the signification of “earth,” as being the church (n. 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1262, 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 2928); and from the signification of “quaking,” or movement, as being a change of state; here, as to the things of the church, namely, in respect to good and truth. The same is also evident from other passages in the Word, as in Isaiah:

It shall come to pass that he who fleeth from the voice of the dread shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare; for the cataracts from on high were opened, and the foundations of the earth were shaken; in breaking the earth is broken; in moving the earth is moved; reeling the earth reeleth like a drunken man, and sways to and fro like a hut; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again. And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah shall visit upon the army of the height on high, and upon the kings of the ground upon the ground (Isaiah 24:18-21).

That in this passage the “earth” is the church, is plainly evident; for it is the church that is treated of, whose foundations are said to be “shaken,” and itself to be “broken and moved, and to reel and sway to and fro,” when good and truth are no longer known. The “kings of the ground” are truths; here, falsities, upon which there will be visitation. (That “kings” are truths, and in the opposite sense falsities, see above, n. 1672, 2015; and that “ground,” like “earth,” denotes the church, but with a difference, n. 566, 1068.)

[2] Again:

I will make a man more rare than fine gold, and a man than the gold of Ophir; therefore I will shake the heaven, and the earth shall be shaken out of her place; in the indignation of Jehovah of Armies, and in the day of the wrath of His anger (Isaiah 13:12-13);

speaking of the day of judgment; and in this passage also “earth” clearly denotes the church, which is said to be “shaken out of its place,” when it is changed as to state. (That “place” is state may be seen above, n. 1273-1275, 1377, 2625, 2837) Again:

Is this the man that shaketh the earth, that shaketh kingdoms, that maketh the world as a wilderness, and destroyeth the cities thereof? (Isaiah 14:16-17);

speaking of Lucifer; the “earth” denotes the church, which he is said to “shake” when man attributes to himself all things of it. (That “kingdoms” are the truths of the church may be seen above, n. 1672, 2547)

[3] In Ezekiel:

It shall come to pass in that day, when Gog cometh upon the land of Israel, that My wrath shall rise in Mine anger; in My zeal and in the fire of My indignation I will speak, Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake upon the ground of Israel (Ezekiel 38:18-20);

“Gog” denotes external worship separate from internal, and thus become idolatrous (n. 1151); the “earth” and the “ground of Israel” denote the spiritual church; the “earthquake,” a change in its state.

In Joel:

The earth quaked before Him, the heavens trembled, the sun and the moon became black, and the stars withdrew their brightness (Joel 2:10); where also the subject is the day of the Last Judgment the “earth quaking” denotes a changed state of the church; the “sun and moon,” the good of love and its truth (n. 1599, 1530, 2441, 2495), which are said to “become black,” when goods and truths are no longer acknowledged; the “stars” denote the knowledges of good and truth (n. 2495, 2849).

In David:

The earth was shaken and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and were shaken, because He was wroth (Psalms 18:7).

The “earth shaken and quaking” denotes the state of the church become perverted.

[4] In John:

And I beheld when he opened the sixth seal, and lo there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the whole moon became as blood, and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Revelation 6:12-13); where the “earthquake, sun, moon, and stars” have a like signification as above in Joel. Again:

In that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake names of men seven thousand (Revelation 11:13).

From all these passages it is evident that an “earthquake” is nothing else than a change in the state of the church; and that in the internal sense the “earth” is nothing else than the church; and as the “earth” is the church, it is evident that by the “new heaven and new earth,” which were to succeed in place of the former (Isaiah 65:17; 66:22; Revelation 21:1), there is signified nothing else than a new church internal and external (n. 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118).
