1 Και κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον κατεβη ο Ιουδας απο των αδελφων αυτου και ετραπη προς ανθρωπον τινα Οδολλαμιτην ονομαζομενον Ειρα.

2 Και ειδεν εκει ο Ιουδας την θυγατερα τινος Χαναναιου, ονομαζομενου Σουα· και ελαβεν αυτην και εισηλθε προς αυτην.

3 Η δε συνελαβε, και εγεννησεν υιον· και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Ηρ.

4 Συνελαβε δε παλιν και εγεννησεν υιον· και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Αυναν.

5 Εγεννησε δε παλιν και αλλον υιον· και εκαλεσε το ονομα αυτου Σηλα· ητο δε ο Ιουδας εν Χασβι, οτε εγεννησε τουτον.

6 Και ελαβεν ο Ιουδας γυναικα εις τον Ηρ τον πρωτοτοκον αυτου, ονομαζομενην Θαμαρ.

7 Ο Ηρ δε ο πρωτοτοκος του Ιουδα εσταθη κακος εμπροσθεν του Κυριου· και εθανατωσεν αυτον ο Κυριος.

8 Ειπε δε ο Ιουδας προς τον Αυναν· εισελθε προς την γυναικα του αδελφου σου, και νυμφευθητι αυτην, και αναστησον σπερμα εις τον αδελφον σου.

9 Αλλ' ο Αυναν ηξευρεν, οτι το σπερμα δεν ηθελεν εισθαι ιδικον του· δια τουτο, οτε εισηρχετο προς την γυναικα του αδελφου αυτου, εξεχυνεν επι την γην, δια να μη δωση σπερμα εις τον αδελφον αυτου.

10 Και τουτο το οποιον επραττεν εφανη κακον εμπροσθεν του Κυριου· οθεν εθανατωσε και τουτον.

11 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας προς την Θαμαρ την νυμφην αυτου, Καθου χηρα εν τω οικω του πατρος σου, εωσου Σηλα ο υιος μου γεινη μεγαλος· διοτι ελεγε, Μηπως αποθανη και ουτος, καθως οι αδελφοι αυτου. Υπηγε λοιπον η Θαμαρ και κατωκησεν εν τω οικω του πατρος αυτης.

12 Και μετα πολλας ημερας απεθανεν η θυγατηρ του Σουα, η γυνη του Ιουδα· και αφου παρηγορηθη ο Ιουδας, ανεβη προς τους κουρευτας των προβατων αυτου εις Θαμνα, αυτος και ο φιλος αυτου Ειρα ο Οδολλαμιτης.

13 Και ανηγγειλαν προς την Θαμαρ, λεγοντες, Ιδου, ο πενθερος σου αναβαινει εις Θαμνα δια να κουρευση τα προβατα αυτου.

14 Η δε απεκδυθεισα τα ενδυματα της χηρειας αυτης, εσκεπασθη με καλυμμα και περιετυλιχθη και εκαθισε κατα την διοδον την εν τη οδω της Θαμνα· διοτι ειδεν οτι εγεινε μεγαλος ο Σηλα, και αυτη δεν εδοθη εις αυτον δια γυναικα.

15 Και οτε ειδεν αυτην ο Ιουδας, ενομισεν αυτην πορνην· διοτι ειχε κεκαλυμμενον το προσωπον αυτης.

16 Και κατα την οδον ετραπη προς αυτην, και ειπεν, Αφες με, παρακαλω, να εισελθω προς σε· διοτι δεν εγνωρισεν οτι ητο η νυμφη αυτου. Η δε ειπε, Τι θελεις μοι δωσει, δια να εισελθης προς εμε;

17 Ο δε ειπεν, Εγω θελω σοι στειλει εριφιον αιγων εκ του ποιμνιου. Και εκεινη ειπε, Μοι διδεις ενεχυρον, εωσου να στειλης αυτο;

18 Ο δε ειπε, Τι ενεχυρον να σοι δωσω; Και εκεινη ειπε, την σφραγιδα σου και το περιδερραιον σου και την ραβδον σου την εν τη χειρι σου. Και εδωκεν αυτα εις αυτην και εισηλθε προς αυτην, και συνελαβεν εξ αυτου.

19 Μετα ταυτα σηκωθεισα, ανεχωρησε και απεκδυθεισα το καλυμμα αυτης, ενεδυθη τα ενδυματα της χηρειας αυτης.

20 Ο δε Ιουδας εστειλε το εριφιον των αιγων δια χειρος του φιλου αυτου του Οδολλαμιτου, δια να παραλαβη το ενεχυρον εκ της χειρος της γυναικος· πλην δεν ευρηκεν αυτην·

21 και ηρωτησε τους ανθρωπους του τοπου αυτης, λεγων, Που ειναι η πορνη, ητις ητο κατα την διοδον επι της οδου; οι δε ειπον, Δεν εσταθη εδω πορνη.

22 Και επεστρεψε προς τον Ιουδαν και ειπε, Δεν ευρηκα αυτην· μαλιστα οι ανθρωποι του τοπου ειπον, Δεν εσταθη εδω πορνη.

23 Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας, Ας εχη αυτα, δια να μη γεινωμεν ονειδος· ιδου, εγω εστειλα το εριφιον τουτο, συ ομως δεν ευρηκας αυτην.

24 Και μετα τρεις μηνας περιπου, ανηγγειλαν προς τον Ιουδαν, λεγοντες, Θαμαρ η νυμφη σου επορνευθη, και μαλιστα, ιδου, ειναι εγκυος εκ πορνειας. Και ειπεν ο Ιουδας, Φερετε αυτην εξω και ας κατακαυθη.

25 Και οτε εφερετο εξω, απεστειλε προς τον πενθερον αυτης, λεγουσα, Εκ του ανθρωπου, του οποιου ειναι ταυτα, ειμαι εγγυος· και ειπεν ετι, Γνωρισον, παρακαλω, τινος ειναι η σφραγις και το περιδερραιον, και η ραβδος αυτη.

26 Και ο Ιουδας εγνωρισεν αυτα· και ειπεν, Αυτη ειναι δικαιοτερα εμου, διοτι δεν εδωκα αυτην εις τον Σηλα τον υιον μου. Και ετι πλεον δεν εγνωρισεν αυτην.

27 Και καθ' ον καιρον εμελλε να γεννηση, ιδου, διδυμα εν τη κοιλια αυτης.

28 Και ενω εγεννα, το εν επροβαλεν εξω την χειρα· και η μαια λαβουσα, εδεσεν επι την χειρα αυτου νημα κοκκινον, λεγουσα, Ουτος εξηλθε πρωτος.

29 Και καθως εσυρεν οπισω την χειρα αυτου, ιδου, εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου· και αυτη ειπε, Ποιον χαλασμον εκαμες; επι σε ας ηναι ο χαλασμος· δια τουτο εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Φαρες.

30 Και επειτα εξηλθεν ο αδελφος αυτου, οστις ειχε το κοκκινον νημα επι την χειρα αυτου· και εκαλεσθη το ονομα αυτου Ζαρα.

5037. The reason why 'being committed to the prison-house' and 'being kept bound there' mean being subjected to temptations involving false-speaking against good is that the expression 'the prison house' is used for the entire place just beneath and round about the soles of the feet where those undergoing vastation are kept. Those undergoing vastation there are people who, in spite of their false assumptions and of their evil life arising from falsity, have nevertheless had good intentions. Such people cannot be received into heaven until they have divested themselves of their false assumptions and also of a living delight in them which sprang from these assumptions. People in that place are subjected to temptations, for the false assumptions and the living delights springing from these cannot be ousted except by means of temptations. The place where those people are, or rather the state which they are passing through, is meant in general by 'the prison-house' and those actual places by 'pits'. Regarding vastations in the next life, see 698, 699, 1106-1113, 2699, 2701, 2704. Those undergoing vastations are called 'the bound'; not that they are literally bound in any way but that they lack freedom so far as their previous thoughts and resulting affections are concerned.

[2] Such is the condition of those meant in the Word by 'the bound' and by 'those who are in prison', as is evident from other places in the Word:

In Isaiah,

I will give You to be a covenant of the people, a light of the nations, to open the blind eyes, to bring the bound out of prison, out of the dungeon-house those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:6-7.

This refers to the Lord and His Coming. Here 'opening the blind eyes and bringing the bound out of prison, and out of the dungeon-house those who sit in darkness' stands for those who have no knowledge of goodness and truth but who nevertheless have the desire to know and be taught about these. But in this instance a different word is used in the original language to describe a prison.

[3] In the same prophet,

All the young men are hidden in prison houses; they have become a prey, and none delivers and none says, Bring out. Isaiah 42:22.

'The young men' in the internal sense are the truths of faith, which are said 'to be hidden in prison-houses and to become a prey' when they are not acknowledged any longer. In the same prophet,

It will be on that day, that Jehovah will visit the host of the height on high, and the kings of the ground on the ground, and the bound will be gathered together over the pit, and they will be shut in 1 the dungeon; after a multitude of days they will be visited. Isaiah 24:21-22.

'The bound over the pit' stands for those undergoing experiences of vastation, that is, temptation.

[4] In the same prophet,

What will you do on the day of visitation and vastation? It will come from afar. To whom will you flee for help? [Anyone] who has not bowed himself down will fall beneath the bound and beneath the slain. Isaiah 10:3-4.

'Beneath the bound' stands for the hell which lies below the places of vastation.' The slain' stands for those who through the false assumptions adopted by them have destroyed the truths of faith to a smaller extent than those pierced [by the sword] have done, dealt with in 4503.

[5] In Zechariah,

He will speak peace to the nations, and His dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth. Also as for You, through the blood of Your covenant I will let out the bound ones from the pit in which there is no water. Return to the stronghold, O bound ones of hope. Zechariah 9:10-12.

'Letting out the bound ones from the pit' stands for those who are undergoing vastation and temptation; for the places where such undergo vastation are called 'pits', see 4728, 4744. In David,

Jehovah hears the needy and does not despise His bound ones. Psalms 69:33.

In the same author,

Let the groaning of him who is bound come before You. Psalms 79:11.

In the same author,

Jehovah looked from the heavens towards the earth to hear the groaning of him who was bound, to open to the sons of death. Psalms 102:19-20.

'Those who are bound' stands for those who are undergoing vastation and temptations. In Isaiah,

In a time of good pleasure I have answered You, and in a day of salvation I have helped 2 You; I have also guarded You, and I have given You for a covenant of the people to restore the land, to apportion the inheritances that have been laid waste, to say to those that are bound, Go out; and to those who are in darkness, Reveal yourselves. They will feed 3 along the roads, and on all slopes will their pasture 4 be. And they will neither hunger nor thirst. Isaiah 49:8-10.

[6] In the same prophet,

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovih is upon Me, Jehovah has anointed Me; to bring good tidings to the poor He has sent Me, and to bind up the broken in heart; to preach liberty to captives, and to those who are bound, to him who is blind; to proclaim the year of Jehovah's good pleasure.

In David,

Jehovah who executes judgement for the oppressed, who gives bread to the hungry; Jehovah who sets the bound free; Jehovah who opens the blind [eyes]; Jehovah who lifts up the bowed down; Jehovah who loves the righteous; Jehovah who guards strangers, upholds the orphan and the widow. Psalms 146:7-9.

'The bound' stands for those who are undergoing vastation and temptations because of falsities.

From all these places it is also evident who are meant in Matthew by those who are bound or 'in prison' and likewise who are meant by 'the hungry, the thirsty, and strangers',

Then the King will say to those at His right hand, I was hungry and you gave Me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, naked and you clothed Me around, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me. Matthew 25:34-36

Regarding these verses, see the preliminary section of the present chapter, 4954-4958.

Isaiah 43

Studie

   

1 But now thus says Yahweh who created you, Jacob, and he who formed you, Israel: "Don't be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.

2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned, and flame will not scorch you.

3 For I am Yahweh your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I have given Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place.

4 Since you have been precious and honored in my sight, and I have loved you; therefore I will give people in your place, and nations instead of your life.

5 Don't be afraid; for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.

6 I will tell the north, 'Give them up!' and tell the south, 'Don't hold them back! Bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth--

7 everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, yes, whom I have made.'"

8 Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled. Who among them can declare this, and show us former things? Let them bring their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, "That is true."

10 "You are my witnesses," says Yahweh, "With my servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am he. Before me there was no God formed, neither will there be after me.

11 I myself am Yahweh; and besides me there is no savior.

12 I have declared, I have saved, and I have shown; and there was no strange god among you. Therefore you are my witnesses," says Yahweh, "and I am God.

13 Yes, since the day was I am he; and there is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?"

14 Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "For your sake, I have sent to Babylon, and I will bring all of them down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships of their rejoicing.

15 I am Yahweh, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King."

16 Thus says Yahweh, who makes a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;

17 who brings forth the chariot and horse, the army and the mighty man (they lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick):

18 "Don't remember the former things, and don't consider the things of old.

19 Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs forth now. Don't you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

20 The animals of the field shall honor me, the jackals and the ostriches; because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

21 the people which I formed for myself, that they might set forth my praise.

22 Yet you have not called on me, Jacob; but you have been weary of me, Israel.

23 You have not brought me of your sheep for burnt offerings; neither have you honored me with your sacrifices. I have not burdened you with offerings, nor wearied you with frankincense.

24 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened me with your sins. You have wearied me with your iniquities.

25 I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

26 Put me in remembrance. Let us plead together. Set forth your case, that you may be justified.

27 Your first father sinned, and your teachers have transgressed against me.

28 Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel an insult."
