1 ותשא כל־העדה ויתנו את־קולם ויבכו העם בלילה ההוא׃

2 וילנו על־משה ועל־אהרן כל בני ישראל ויאמרו אלהם כל־העדה לו־מתנו בארץ מצרים או במדבר הזה לו־מתנו׃

3 ולמה יהוה מביא אתנו אל־הארץ הזאת לנפל בחרב נשינו וטפנו יהיו לבז הלוא טוב לנו שוב מצרימה׃

4 ויאמרו איש אל־אחיו נתנה ראש ונשובה מצרימה׃

5 ויפל משה ואהרן על־פניהם לפני כל־קהל עדת בני ישראל׃

6 ויהושע בן־נון וכלב בן־יפנה מן־התרים את־הארץ קרעו בגדיהם׃

7 ויאמרו אל־כל־עדת בני־ישראל לאמר הארץ אשר עברנו בה לתור אתה טובה הארץ מאד מאד׃

8 אם־חפץ בנו יהוה והביא אתנו אל־הארץ הזאת ונתנה לנו ארץ אשר־הוא זבת חלב ודבש׃

9 אך ביהוה אל־תמרדו ואתם אל־תיראו את־עם הארץ כי לחמנו הם סר צלם מעליהם ויהוה אתנו אל־תיראם׃

10 ויאמרו כל־העדה לרגום אתם באבנים וכבוד יהוה נראה באהל מועד אל־כל־בני ישראל׃ ף

11 ויאמר יהוה אל־משה עד־אנה ינאצני העם הזה ועד־אנה לא־יאמינו בי בכל האתות אשר עשיתי בקרבו׃

12 אכנו בדבר ואורשנו ואעשה אתך לגוי־גדול ועצום ממנו׃

13 ויאמר משה אל־יהוה ושמעו מצרים כי־העלית בכחך את־העם הזה מקרבו׃

14 ואמרו אל־יושב הארץ הזאת שמעו כי־אתה יהוה בקרב העם הזה אשר־עין בעין נראה אתה יהוה ועננך עמד עלהם ובעמד עןן אתה הלך לפניהם יוםם ובעמוד אש לילה׃

15 והמתה את־העם הזה כאיש אחד ואמרו הגוים אשר־שמעו את־שמעך לאמר׃

16 מבלתי יכלת יהוה להביא את־העם הזה אל־הארץ אשר־נשבע להם וישחטם במדבר׃

17 ועתה יגדל־נא כח אדני כאשר דברת לאמר׃

18 יהוה ארך אפים ורב־חסד נשא עון ופשע ונקה לא ינקה פקד עון אבות על־בנים על־שלשים ועל־רבעים׃

19 סלח־נא לעון העם הזה כגדל חסדך וכאשר נשאתה לעם הזה ממצרים ועד־הנה׃

20 ויאמר יהוה סלחתי כדברך׃

21 ואולם חי־אני וימלא כבוד־יהוה את־כל־הארץ׃

22 כי כל־האנשים הראים את־כבדי ואת־אתתי אשר־עשיתי במצרים ובמדבר וינסו אתי זה עשר פעמים ולא שמעו בקולי׃

23 אם־יראו את־הארץ אשר נשבעתי לאבתם וכל־מנאצי לא יראוה׃

24 ועבדי כלב עקב היתה רוח אחרת עמו וימלא אחרי והביאתיו אל־הארץ אשר־בא שמה וזרעו יורשנה׃

25 והעמלקי והכנעני יושב בעמק מחר פנו וסעו לכם המדבר דרך ים־סוף׃ ף

26 וידבר יהוה אל־משה ואל־אהרן לאמר׃

27 עד־מתי לעדה הרעה הזאת אשר המה מלינים עלי את־תלנות בני ישראל אשר המה מלינים עלי שמעתי׃

28 אמר אלהם חי־אני נאם־יהוה אם־לא כאשר דברתם באזני כן אעשה לכם׃

29 במדבר הזה יפלו פגריכם וכל־פקדיכם לכל־מספרכם מבן עשרים שנה ומעלה אשר הלינתם עלי׃

30 אם־אתם תבאו אל־הארץ אשר נשאתי את־ידי לשכן אתכם בה כי אם־כלב בן־יפנה ויהושע בן־נון׃

31 וטפכם אשר אמרתם לבז יהיה והביאתי אתם וידעו את־הארץ אשר מאסתם בה׃

32 ופגריכם אתם יפלו במדבר הזה׃

33 ובניכם יהיו רעים במדבר ארבעים שנה ונשאו את־זנותיכם עד־תם פגריכם במדבר׃

34 במספר הימים אשר־תרתם את־הארץ ארבעים יום יום לשנה יום לשנה תשאו את־עונתיכם ארבעים שנה וידעתם את־תנואתי׃

35 אני יהוה דברתי אם־לא זאת אעשה לכל־העדה הרעה הזאת הנועדים עלי במדבר הזה יתמו ושם ימתו׃

36 והאנשים אשר־שלח משה לתור את־הארץ וישבו [כ= וילונו] [ק= וילינו] עליו את־כל־העדה להוציא דבה על־הארץ׃

37 וימתו האנשים מוצאי דבת־הארץ רעה במגפה לפני יהוה׃

38 ויהושע בן־נון וכלב בן־יפנה חיו מן־האנשים ההם ההלכים לתור את־הארץ׃

39 וידבר משה את־הדברים האלה אל־כל־בני ישראל ויתאבלו העם מאד׃

40 וישכמו בבקר ויעלו אל־ראש־ההר לאמר הננו ועלינו אל־המקום אשר־אמר יהוה כי חטאנו׃

41 ויאמר משה למה זה אתם עברים את־פי יהוה והוא לא תצלח׃

42 אל־תעלו כי אין יהוה בקרבכם ולא תנגפו לפני איביכם׃

43 כי העמלקי והכנעני שם לפניכם ונפלתם בחרב כי־על־כן שבתם מאחרי יהוה ולא־יהיה יהוה עםכם׃

44 ויעפלו לעלות אל־ראש ההר וארון ברית־יהוה ומשה לא־משו מקרב המחנה׃

45 וירד העמלקי והכנעני הישב בהר ההוא ויכום ויכתום עד־החרמה׃ ף

9416. And I will give thee the tables of stone. That this signifies the book of the law, or the Word in the whole complex, is evident from the signification of “the tables,” as being that whereon were written the things which are of doctrine and of life, here the things which are of heavenly doctrine and of a life in accordance therewith. That these tables signify the book of the law, that is, the Word in the whole complex, is because the things which were inscribed on them contained in general all things that belong to heavenly life and doctrine. Wherefore also those things which were inscribed on them are called “the ten words” (Exodus 34:28; Deuteronomy 10:4); for by “ten” in the internal sense are signified all; and by “words” are signified the truths of doctrine, and the goods of life. (That “ten” denotes all, see n. 3107, 4638, 8468, 8540; that “words” denote the truths and goods of life and doctrine, n. 1288, 4692, 5272.) For this reason these tables signify the Word in the whole complex; in like manner as the law, which in a close sense signifies what was inscribed on these tables; in a less close sense the Word written by Moses; in a wide sense the historic Word; and in the widest sense the Word in its whole complex; as may be seen above (n. 6752). Moreover, the things inscribed on these tables were the first of the revelation of Divine truth, and were proclaimed by the Lord before all the people of Israel with a living voice. The things which are first signify all the rest in their order; and their being proclaimed by the Lord with a living voice signifies immediate Divine inspiration in the rest also. The reason why these tables were of stone was that “stone” signifies truth (n. 643, 1298, 3720, 6426), properly truth in ultimates (n. 8609); truth Divine in ultimates is the Word in the letter, such as it is on this earth (n. 9360).

[2] The reason why there was not one table, but two, was that there might be represented the conjunction of the Lord through the Word with the church, and through the church with the human race. Therefore they are also called “the tables of the covenant” (Deuteronomy 9:9, 11, 15); and the words inscribed are called “the words of the covenant” (Exodus 34:27-28), and also “the covenant” (Deuteronomy 4:13, 23); and the ark itself, in which the tables were placed, was called “the ark of the covenant” (Numbers 10:33; 14:44; Deuteronomy 10:8; 31:9, 25-26; Josh. 3:3, 6, 8, 1, 11, 14, 17; 4:7, 9, 18; 6:6, 8; 8:33; Judges 20:27; 1 Samuel 4:3-5; 2 Samuel 15:24; 1 Kings 3:15; 6:19; 8:1, 6; Jeremiah 3:16); for a “covenant” denotes conjunction (n. 665, 666, 1023, 1038, 1864, 1996, 2003, 2021, 6804, 8767, 8778, 9396). Wherefore these tables were divided the one from the other; but were joined together by attachment; and the writing was continued from one table on to the other, as though it was upon one table; but not according to the common opinion, some commandments upon one table, and some upon the other. For by one being divided into two, and by the two being thus joined together, or placed beside each other, is signified the conjunction of the Lord with man. For this reason covenants were entered into in a similar way; as with Abraham by a she-calf, a she-goat, and a ram divided in the middle, and by one part being placed opposite the other (Genesis 15:9-12); in this chapter also by the blood being put in basins, and half of it being sprinkled on the altar, and half upon the people (verses 6, 8); and in general by all the sacrifices, a part of which was burnt upon the altar, and a part was given to the people to eat. The like was also represented by the breaking of bread by the Lord (Matthew 14:19; 15:36; 26:26; Mark 6:41; 8:6; 14:22; Luke 9:16; 22:19; 24:30, 35). Hence also it is that by “two” in the Word is signified conjunction (n. 5194, 8423), here, that of the Lord and heaven, or of the Lord and the church, thus also of good and truth, which conjunction is called the heavenly marriage. From this it can be seen why there were two tables, and why they were written on the two sides, on the one side and on the other (Exodus 32:15-16).

[3] Moreover, “writing” and “engraving” on “tables” signify in the Word those things which must be impressed on the memory and on the life, and which are therefore to be lasting; as in Isaiah:

Write it before them on a table, and impress it on a book, that it may be for the latter day forever even to eternity (Isaiah 30:8).

The sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, with a point of a diamond; it is graven upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars (Jeremiah 17:1).

Jehovah said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; though it tarry, wait for it; because coming it will come (Hab. 2:2-3).

Joshua 8

Studie

   

1 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Don't be afraid, neither be dismayed. Take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, with his people, his city, and his land.

2 You shall do to Ai and her king as you did to Jericho and her king, except its spoil and its livestock, you shall take for a plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."

3 So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.

4 He commanded them, saying, "Behold, you shall lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Don't go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

5 I, and all the people who are with me, will approach to the city. It shall happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them.

6 They will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, 'They flee before us, like the first time.' So we will flee before them,

7 and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city; for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

8 It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do this according to the word of Yahweh. Behold, I have commanded you."

9 Joshua sent them out; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua stayed among the people that night.

10 Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

11 All the people, even the men of war who were with him, went up, and drew near, and came before the city, and encamped on the north side of Ai. Now there was a valley between him and Ai.

12 He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

13 So they set the people, even all the army who was on the north of the city, and their ambush on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

14 It happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that they hurried and rose up early, and the men of the city went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at the time appointed, before the Arabah; but he didn't know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

15 Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by the way of the wilderness.

16 All the people who were in the city were called together to pursue after them. They pursued Joshua, and were drawn away from the city.

17 There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El who didn't go out after Israel. They left the city open, and pursued Israel.

18 Yahweh said to Joshua, "Stretch out the javelin that is in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand." Joshua stretched out the javelin that was in his hand toward the city.

19 The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it. They hurried and set the city on fire.

20 When the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended up to heaven, and they had no power to flee this way or that way. The people who fled to the wilderness turned back on the pursuers.

21 When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.

22 The others came out of the city against them, so they were in the midst of Israel, some on this side, and some on that side. They struck them, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

23 They captured the king of Ai alive, and brought him to Joshua.

24 It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they had all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.

25 All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

26 For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

27 Only the livestock and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey to themselves, according to the word of Yahweh which he commanded Joshua.

28 So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.

29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at the sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.

30 Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,

31 as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace offerings.

32 He wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.

33 All Israel, and their elders and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of Yahweh's covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Yahweh had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.

34 Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.

35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded, which Joshua didn't read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
