1 Και εψαλαν η Δεβορρα και ο Βαρακ ο υιος του Αβινεεμ εν τη ημερα εκεινη, λεγοντες,

2 Επειδη προεπορευθησαν αρχηγοι εν τω Ισραηλ, Επειδη ο λαος προσεφερεν εαυτον εκουσιως, Ευλογειτε τον Κυριον.

3 Ακουσατε, βασιλεις· δοτε ακροασιν, σατραπαι· εγω, εις τον Κυριον εγω θελω ψαλλει εις Κυριον τον Θεον του Ισραηλ θελω ψαλμωδει.

4 Κυριε, οτε εξηλθες απο Σηειρ, οτε εκινησας απο της πεδιαδος του Εδωμ, η γη εσεισθη και οι ουρανοι εσταλαξαν, αι νεφελαι ετι εσταλαξαν υδωρ.

5 Τα ορη ετακησαν υπο της παρουσιας του Κυριου· αυτο το Σινα απο της παρουσιας Κυριου του Θεου του Ισραηλ.

6 Εν ταις ημεραις του Σαμεγαρ υιου του Αναθ, εν ταις ημεραις της Ιαηλ, εγκατελειφθησαν αι οδοι, και οι διαβαται περιεπατουν οδους πλαγιας.

7 Εξελιπον οι ηγεμονες εν τω Ισραηλ, εξελιπον, εωσου εγω η Δεβορρα εσηκωθην, εσηκωθην μητηρ εν τω Ισραηλ.

8 Εξελεξαν θεους νεους· τοτε πολεμος εν ταις πυλαις· εφανη αρα ασπις η λογχη μεταξυ τεσσαρακοντα χιλιαδων εν τω Ισραηλ;

9 Η καρδια μου ειναι προς τους αρχηγους του Ισραηλ, οσοι μεταξυ του λαου προσεφεραν εαυτους εκουσιως. Ευλογειτε τον Κυριον.

10 Υμνολογειτε· οι επιβαινοντες επι λευκων ονων, οι καθημενοι εις το κρινειν, και οι περιπατουντες εν ταις οδοις.

11 Ελευθερωθεντες απο του κροτου των τοξοτων, εν τοις τοποις οπου αντλουσιν υδωρ, εκει θελουσι διηγεισθαι τας δικαιοσυνας του Κυριου, τας δικαιοσυνας των ηγεμονων αυτου μεταξυ του Ισραηλ. Κατεβη τοτε εις τας πυλας ο λαος του Κυριου.

12 Εγερθητι, εγερθητι, Δεβορρα· εγερθητι, εγερθητι, προφερε ωδην· σηκωθητι, Βαρακ, και αιχμαλωτισον τους αιχμαλωτους σου, υιε του Αβινεεμ.

13 Τοτε κατεβη το εγκαταλελειμμενον του λαου εναντιον των ισχυρων· ο Κυριος κατεβη μετ' εμου εναντιον των δυνατων.

14 Εκ του Εφραιμ οι κατοικουντες το ορος Αμαληκ κατεβησαν κατοπιν σου, Βενιαμιν, μεταξυ των λαων σου. Εκ του Μαχειρ κατεβησαν οι αρχηγοι, και εκ του Ζαβουλων οι κρατουντες ραβδον γραμματεως.

15 Και οι αρχοντες του Ισσαχαρ μετα της Δεβορρας, ο Ισσαχαρ προσετι και ο Βαρακ· κατοπιν τουτου εδραμον εις την κοιλαδα. Εις τας διαιρεσεις του Ρουβην ηγερθησαν μεγαλοι στοχασμοι καρδιας.

16 Δια τι εκαθησας μεταξυ εις τας μανδρας, δια να ακουης τα βελασματα των ποιμνιων; εις τας διαιρεσεις του Ρουβην ηγερθησαν μεγαλαι συζητησεις καρδιας.

17 Ο Γαλααδ ησυχαζε περαν του Ιορδανου· και ο Δαν δια τι εμενεν εις τα πλοια; ο Ασηρ εκαθητο εις τα παραλια, και ησυχαζεν εις τους λιμενας αυτου.

18 Ο Ζαβουλων ειναι λαος προσφερων την ζωην αυτου εις θανατον, και ο Νεφθαλι, επι τα υψη της πεδιαδος.

19 Ηλθον οι βασιλεις, επολεμησαν· τοτε επολεμησαν οι βασιλεις Χανααν εν Θααναχ πλησιον των υδατων του Μεγιδδω· λαφυρον αργυριου δεν ελαβον.

20 Εκ του ουρανου επολεμησαν, οι αστερες εκ της πορειας αυτων επολεμησαν εναντιον του Σισαρα.

21 Ο ποταμος Κισων κατεσυρεν αυτους, ο παλαιος ποταμος, ο ποταμος Κισων. Κατεπατησας, ψυχη μου, δυναμιν.

22 Τοτε κατετριβησαν οι ονυχες των ιππων απο του ορμητικου δρομου, του ορμητικου δρομου των επ' αυτους ισχυρων.

23 Καταρασθε την Μηρωζ, ειπεν ο αγγελος του Κυριου, καταρασθε καταραν τους κατοικους αυτης διοτι δεν ηλθον εις βοηθειαν του Κυριου, εις βοηθειαν του Κυριου εναντιον των δυνατων.

24 Ευλογημενη ας ηναι υπερ τας γυναικας η Ιαηλ, η γυνη του Εβερ του Κεναιου· υπερ τας γυναικας εν ταις σκηναις ευλογημενη ας ηναι.

25 Υδωρ εζητησε, γαλα εδωκε· βουτυρον προσεφερεν εις μεγαλοπρεπη κρατηρα.

26 Την αριστεραν αυτης ηπλωσεν εις τον πασσαλον, και την δεξιαν αυτης εις την σφυραν των εργατων· και σφυροκοπησασα τον Σισαρα εσχισε την κεφαλην αυτου, και συνεθλασε και διεπερασε τους μηνιγγας αυτου.

27 Μεταξυ των ποδων αυτης συνεκαμφθη, επεσεν, εκειτο· μεταξυ των ποδων αυτης συνεκαμφθη, επεσεν· οπου συνεκαμφθη, εκει επεσε νεκρος.

28 Η μητηρ του Σισαρα εκυπτε δια της θυριδος και εβοα δια του δικτυωτου, Δια τι η αμαξα αυτου βραδυνει να ελθη, δια τι εβραδυναν οι τροχοι των αμαξων αυτου;

29 Αι σοφαι κυριαι αυτης απεκρινοντο προς αυτην· αυτη μαλιστα εδιδε την αποκρισιν προς εαυτην·

30 Δεν επετυχον; δεν διεμοιρασαν τα λαφυρα; μιαν η δυο νεας εις εκαστον ανδρα, εις τον Σισαρα λαφυρα ποικιλοχροα, λαφυρα ποικιλοχροα κεντητα, ποικιλοχροα κεντητα και εκ των δυο μερων, περιλαιμια των λαφυραγωγουμενων;

31 Ουτω να απολεσθωσι παντες οι εχθροι σου, Κυριε· οι δε αγαπωντες αυτον ας ηναι ως ο ηλιος ανατελλων εν τη δοξη αυτου. Και ανεπαυθη η γη τεσσαρακοντα ετη.

9688. 'The work of an embroiderer' means things that belong to factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'the work of an embroiderer', or embroidery, as factual knowledge. A large number of places in the Word speak of that which has been embroidered and of embroidery, and in every case factual knowledge is meant by it. The reason for this goes back to representatives in the next life; there garments embroidered in various ways are seen, and by these garments truths on the level of factual knowledge are meant.

[2] Truths on the level of factual knowledge differ from those on the level of the understanding in the same way as outward things differ from inward ones, or as the natural level with a person differs from the spiritual. Facts serve the understanding as objects from which it may deduce truths; for the power of understanding is the internal or spiritual man's power of sight, and known facts are its objects in the external or natural man. These facts are meant by 'the work of an embroiderer' whereas that power of understanding is meant by 'the work of a designer', 9598, for designing is a function of the understanding, and embroidering a function of the knowledge and skill employed by the understanding. This explains why the objects within the dwelling-place, which were signs meaning inner realities, were the work of a designer, such as the curtains that formed it, verse 1, and the veil between the holy place and the holy of holies, verse 31. But the objects which were signs meaning outer realities were the work of an embroiderer, such as the screen in place of a tent door, and the screen in place of a gate of the court, Exodus 38:18, and also the girdle, Exodus 39:29, 'the girdle' being what is external linking everything internal, 'the court' being the lowest part of heaven, and 'the tent door' the place where there is an exit from the middle heaven into the lowest.

[3] The fact that 'embroidery' and that which has been 'embroidered' mean factual knowledge belonging to the external or natural man is clear from the following places in the Word: In Ezekiel,

Fine linen with embroidery from Egypt was your sail; violet and purple from the islands of Elishah was your covering. Syria was your merchant by reason of the multitude of your handiworks; [they exchanged for your wares] chrysoprase and purple, and embroidered work, and fine linen. The merchants of Sheba [came] with balls of violet and with embroidered work. Ezekiel 27:7, 16, 24.

This refers to Tyre, by which those in possession of cognitions or knowledge of truth and good are meant, and in the abstract sense those cognitions themselves, 1201. 'Fine linen with embroidery' means truth on the level of factual knowledge, for 'fine linen' means truth from a celestial origin, 5319, 9469, and 'embroidery' is factual knowledge. This also is the reason why it says that it came from Egypt - for 'Egypt' means factual knowledge, 1164, 1165, 1186, 1462, 2588, 4749, 4964, 4966, 5700, 5702, 6004, 6015, 6125, 6651, 6679, 6683, 6692, 6750, 7779 (end), 9391 - and also from Syria and from Sheba, since cognitions of truth and good are meant by 'Syria', 1232, 1234, 3051, 3249, 3664, 3680, 4112, and in like manner by 'Sheba', 1171, 3240. Cognitions of truth and good constitute the Church's factual knowledge. Anybody endowed with the ability to think intelligently and weigh things up can see that in these verses from Ezekiel one should not understand embroidery, fine linen, violet, or purple, but that these commodities mean things such as are worthy of mention in the Word, namely spiritual realities that belong to heaven and the Church.

[4] In the same prophet,

All the princes of the sea will step down from upon their thrones, and will cast away their robes and will strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with tremblings. Ezekiel 26:16.

This too refers to Tyre. 'The princes of the sea' are the first and foremost known facts, which are called dogmas, 'princes' meaning things which are first and foremost, see 1482, 2089, 5044, and 'the sea' factual knowledge in general 28, 2850. 'Robes' are external truths, 'embroidered' are truths on the level of factual knowledge, which too are external ones. For the meaning of 'garments' as truths, 2576, 4545, 4763, 5248, 5319, 5954, 6914, 6917, 6918, 9093, 9158, 9212, 9216.

[5] In the same prophet,

I clothed you with embroidered cloth, and shod you with badger; I swathed you in fine linen and covered you with silk. Thus were you adorned with gold and silver; and your garments were fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. But you took your embroidered garments and covered the images, with which you committed whoredom. 1 Ezekiel 16:10, 13, 18.

This refers to Jerusalem, by which the Church is meant. 'Embroidered garments' stands for truths on the level of factual knowledge. 'Covering the images, with which she committed whoredom' stands for giving strength to falsities, for 'committing whoredom' means perverting truths by bringing them into contact with falsities or with evils. Is there anyone who cannot see that since these verses describe Jerusalem 'fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth' are not used to mean fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth? Yet what they really mean the Christian world does not seek to know, because it supposes that heavenly and spiritual matters in the Word reside in its literal sense; the more internal contents of the Word it calls mystical, but has no interest in them.

[6] In the same prophet,

A great eagle with great wings, with long pinions, full of feathers, 2 which had embroidery ... Ezekiel 17:3.

This refers to the house of Israel, which means the spiritual Church; and this Church is called 'an eagle' by virtue of its perception of truth, 3901, 8764, 'which had embroidery' standing for its possession of factual knowledge. In David,

All glorious is the king's daughter within, in her clothing with gold interweavings; in an embroidered [robe] she will be led to the king. Psalms 45:13-14.

'The king's daughter' stands for an affection for truth, 'an embroidered [robe]' for factual knowledge of truth. In the Book of Judges,

Will they not divide the spoil, ... the spoil of colours for Sisera, the spoil of colours of embroidered work, embroiderers' colour - on the necks of the spoil? 3 Judges 5:30.

In this verse, which is part of the Song of Deborah and Barak, 'embroidered [work]' stands for factual knowledge belonging to the natural man.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. Here verse 18 of Ezekiel 16 has become confused with the preceding verse 17.

2. literally, A great eagle, great with wings, long with pinions, and full with feathers,

3. The meaning in the Hebrew of this verse is very obscure. The Latin rendering by Sebastian Schmidt, which Swedenborg relies on here, is literal and equally difficult to make sense of.
