1 Τοτε στρεψαντες ανεβημεν την οδον την εις Βασαν· και εξηλθεν Ωγ ο βασιλευς της Βασαν εις συναντησιν ημων, αυτος και πας ο λαος αυτου, δια μαχην εις Εδρει.

2 Και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Μη φοβηθης αυτον· διοτι εις την χειρα σου παρεδωκα αυτον και παντα τον λαον αυτου και την γην αυτου· και θελεις καμει εις αυτον, ως εκαμες εις τον Σηων βασιλεα των Αμορραιων, οστις κατωκει εν Εσεβων.

3 Και παρεδωκε Κυριος ο Θεος ημων εις την χειρα ημων και τον Ωγ, βασιλεα της Βασαν, και παντα τον λαον αυτου· και επαταξαμεν αυτον, εωσου δεν αφηκαμεν εις αυτον υπολοιπον.

4 Και εκυριευσαμεν πασας τας πολεις αυτου κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον· δεν εσταθη πολις, την οποιαν δεν ελαβομεν απ' αυτων· εξηκοντα πολεις, πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ, το βασιλειον του Ωγ εν Βασαν.

5 Αι πολεις αυται ησαν πασαι ωχυρωμεναι με τειχη υψηλα, με πυλας και μοχλους· εκτος μεγαλου πληθους ατειχιστων πολεων.

6 Και εξωλοθρευσαμεν αυτας, καθως εκαμομεν εις τον Σηων βασιλεα της Εσεβων, εξολοθρευοντες πασαν πολιν, ανδρας, γυναικας και παιδια.

7 Παντα δε τα κτηνη και τα λαφυρα των πολεων ελεηλατησαμεν δι' εαυτους.

8 Και ελαβομεν κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον απο των χειρων των δυο βασιλεων των Αμορραιων την γην την εντευθεν του Ιορδανου, απο του ποταμου Αρνων εως του ορους Αερμων·

9 το Αερμων ονομαζουσιν οι Σιδωνιοι Σιριων, οι δε Αμορραιοι ονομαζουσιν αυτο Σενειρ·

10 πασας τας πολεις της πεδιαδος και πασαν την Γαλααδ και πασαν την Βασαν εως Σαλχα και Εδρει, πολεις του βασιλειου του Ωγ εν Βασαν.

11 Διοτι μονος ο Ωγ βασιλευς της Βασαν εσωζετο εκ του υπολοιπου των γιγαντων· ιδου, η κλινη αυτου ητο κλινη σιδηρα· δεν σωζεται αυτη εν Ραββα των υιων Αμμων; εννεα πηχαι το μηκος αυτης και τεσσαρες πηχαι το πλατος αυτης, κατα πηχην ανδρος.

12 Και την γην εκεινην, την οποιαν εκυριευσαμεν κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, απο της Αροηρ, της παρα τον ποταμον Αρνων, και το ημισυ του ορους Γαλααδ και τας πολεις αυτου, εδωκα εις τους Ρουβηνιτας και εις τους Γαδιτας.

13 Και το υπολοιπον της Γαλααδ και πασαν την Βασαν, το βασιλειον του Ωγ, εδωκα εις το ημισυ της φυλης του Μανασση, πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ μετα πασης της Βασαν, ητις ωνομαζετο γη γιγαντων.

14 Ιαειρ ο υιος του Μανασση ελαβε πασαν την περιχωρον της Αργοβ μεχρι των οριων της Γεσσουρι και Μααχαθι· και ωνομασεν αυτας κατα το ονομα αυτου, Βασαν-αβωθ-ιαειρ, μεχρι της ημερας ταυτης.

15 Και εις τον Μαχειρ εδωκα την Γαλααδ.

16 Και εις τους Ρουβηνιτας και εις τους Γαδιτας εδωκα απο Γαλααδ εως του ποταμου Αρνων το μεσον του ποταμου, και το οριον και εως του ποταμου Ιαβοκ, του οριου των υιων Αμμων·

17 και την πεδιαδα και τον Ιορδανην και το οριον απο Χιννερωθ μεχρι της θαλασσης της πεδιαδος, της αλμυρας θαλασσης, υποκατω της Ασδωθ-φασγα προς ανατολας.

18 Και προσεταξα εις εσας κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, λεγων, Κυριος ο Θεος σας εδωκεν εις εσας την γην ταυτην να κυριευσητε αυτην· θελετε περασει ωπλισμενοι ενωπιον των αδελφων σας των υιων Ισραηλ, παντες οι ανδρες οι δυνατοι·

19 πλην αι γυναικες σας και τα παιδια σας και τα κτηνη σας, εξευρω οτι εχετε κτηνη πολλα, θελουσι μενει εις τας πολεις σας, τας οποιας εδωκα εις εσας·

20 εωσου δωση ο Κυριος αναπαυσιν εις τους αδελφους σας, καθως και εις εσας, και κυριευσωσι και αυτοι την γην, την οποιαν εδωκεν εις αυτους Κυριος ο Θεος σας, εις το περαν του Ιορδανου· και τοτε θελετε επιστρεψει εκαστος εις την κληρονομιαν αυτου, την οποιαν εδωκα εις εσας.

21 Και κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον προσεταξα εις τον Ιησουν λεγων, Οι οφθαλμοι σου ειδον παντα οσα Κυριος ο Θεος σας εκαμεν εις τους δυο τουτους βασιλεις· ουτω θελει καμει ο Κυριος εις παντα τα βασιλεια, εις τα οποια διαβαινεις·

22 δεν θελετε φοβηθη αυτους· διοτι Κυριος ο Θεος σας αυτος θελει πολεμησει υπερ υμων.

23 Και εδεηθην του Κυριου κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον, λεγων,

24 Κυριε Θεε, συ ηρχισας να δεικνυης εις τον δουλον σου την μεγαλωσυνην σου και την κραταιαν σου χειρα· διοτι τις Θεος ειναι εν τω ουρανω η εν τη γη οστις δυναται να καμη κατα τα εργα σου και κατα την δυναμιν σου;

25 ας διαβω, δεομαι, και ας ιδω την γην την αγαθην, την περαν του Ιορδανου, εκεινο το ορος το αγαθον, και τον Λιβανον.

26 Αλλ' ο Κυριος εθυμωθη εναντιον μου εξ αιτιας σας και δεν μου εισηκουσε· και ειπε Κυριος προς εμε, Αρκει εις σε· μη λαλησης προς εμε πλεον περι τουτου·

27 αναβα εις την κορυφην του Φασγα και υψωσον τους οφθαλμους σου προς δυσμας και βορραν και μεσημβριαν και ανατολας, και θεωρησον δια των οφθαλμων σου· διοτι δεν θελεις διαβη τον Ιορδανην τουτον·

28 και παραγγειλον εις τον Ιησουν και ενθαρρυνον αυτον και ενισχυσον αυτον· διοτι ουτος θελει διαβη εμπροσθεν του λαου τουτου και ουτος θελει κληροδοτησει εις αυτους την γην, την οποιαν θελεις ιδει.

29 Και εκαθημεθα εν τη κοιλαδι κατεναντι Βαιθ-φεγωρ.

4270. And he rose up in that night, and took his two women, and his two handmaids, and his eleven sons, and passed over the passage of Jabbok. That this signifies the first instilling of the affections of truth together with the truths acquired, is evident from the signification of the “two women,” here Rachel and Leah, as being affections of truth (see n. 3758, 3782, 3793, 3819); from the signification of the “two handmaids,” here Bilhah and Zilpah, as being exterior affections of truth that serve as means (n. 3849, 3931); from the signification of the “sons,” as being truths (n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623, 3373); and from the signification of the “passage of Jabbok,” as being the first instilling. That the “Jabbok” denotes the first instilling is because it was a boundary of the land of Canaan. That all the boundaries of that land were significative of the celestial and spiritual things of the Lord’s kingdom, according to their distance and situation, see n. 1585, 1866, 4116, 4240; and thus also the ford or passage of the Jabbok, which was such relatively to the land of Canaan beyond Jordan, and was the boundary of the inheritance of the sons of Reuben and Gad, as is evident from Numbers 21:24; Deuteronomy 2:36-37; 3:16-17; Josh. 12:2; Judges 11:13, 22. That that land fell to these as an inheritance was because by Reuben was represented faith in the understanding, or doctrine, which is the first of regeneration, or truth of doctrine in the complex by which the good of life is attained (see n. 3861, 3866); and by Gad were represented the works of faith (n. 3934). These truths of faith or doctrinal things, and the works of faith which are first exercised, are the things through which the man who is being regenerated is insinuated into good. It is for this reason that by the “passage of Jabbok” is signified the first instilling.

3373. And unto thy seed. That this signifies truth, is evident from the signification of “seed,” as being truth (see n. 29, 255, 1025, 1447, 1610, 1940, 2848, 3310); thus it signifies the truth which is from the Lord’s Divine, which is “thy seed.” They who apprehend the Word only according to the sense of the letter cannot know but that “seed” denotes posterity, consequently here the posterity of Isaac from Esau and Jacob, and chiefly from Jacob, because the Word was in that nation and it contains so many historical facts concerning them. But in the internal sense by “seed” there is not meant any posterity from Isaac, but all those who are sons of the Lord, thus the sons of His kingdom, or what is the same, who are in good and truth from the Lord; and because these are “seed,” it follows that the very good and truth from the Lord are “seed,” for hence come the sons; wherefore also the very truths from the Lord are called the “sons of the kingdom,” in Matthew:

He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the sons of the kingdom (Matthew 13:37-38);

hence also by “sons” in general are signified truths (n. 489, 491, 533, 1147, 2623).

[2] Everyone who thinks somewhat more deeply or interiorly may know that in the Divine Word by the “seed of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,” so often mentioned, and concerning which it is so frequently said that it should be blessed, and this above all nations and people in the world, cannot be signified their posterity; for above all nations they were least of all in the good of love to the Lord and of charity toward the neighbor, and were not even in any truth of faith; for they were utterly ignorant of what the Lord is, what His kingdom, thus what heaven is, and what the life after death, both because they did not want to know, and because if they had learned about these things, they would at heart have totally denied them, and would thus have profaned interior goods and truths, just as they so frequently profaned exterior ones by becoming open idolaters; which is the reason why in the sense of the letter of the Word of the Old Testament any interior things so rarely stand forth to view. Being of this nature, the Lord has said concerning them, quoting Isaiah:

He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them (John 12:40);

and again when they said:

We are Abraham’s seed; Abraham is our father; Jesus said unto them, If ye were Abraham’s sons, ye would do the works of Abraham; ye are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do (John 8:33, 39, 44);

by “Abraham” here is meant the Lord, as everywhere in the Word; and that the Jews were not his seed, or sons, but the seed of the devil, is plainly stated. All this shows very plainly that by the “seed of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob” as mentioned in the historical and prophetical Word, are by no means meant their posterity-for the Word throughout is Divine-but all those who are the Lord’s “seed,” that is, who are in the good and truth of faith in Him. (That from the Lord alone comes heavenly seed, that is, all good and truth, may be seen above n. 1438, 1614, 2016, 2803, 2882-2883, 2891, 2892, 2904, 3195)
