エゼキエル書 46

Studie

   

1 なる神は、こう言われる、内庭にある東向きのは、働きをするの間は閉じ、安息にはこれを開き、またついたちにはこれを開け。

2 君たる者は、外からの廊をとおってはいり、の柱のかたわらに立て。そのとき祭司たちは、燔祭と酬恩祭とをささげ、彼はの敷居で、礼拝して出て行くのである。しかしは夕暮まで閉じてはならない。

3 の民は安息日と、ついたちとに、そのの入口で主の礼拝をせよ。

4 君たる者が、安息にささげる燔祭は、頭の無傷の小と、一頭の無傷の雄とである。

5 また素祭は雄のために麦粉一エパ、小のための素祭は、その人のささげうる程度とし、麦粉一エパに一ヒンを加えよ。

6 ついたちには無傷の雄牛の一頭、頭の小および一頭の雄をささげよ。これらはすべて無傷のものでなければならない。

7 素祭は雄牛のために麦粉一エパ、雄のために麦粉一エパ、小のためには、その人のささげうる程度のものを供えよ。また麦粉一エパに一ヒンを加えよ。

8 君たる者がはいる時はの廊の道からはいり、またその道から出よ。

9 の民が、祝い日に主のに出る時、礼拝のため、の道からはいる者は、の道から出て行き、の道からはいる者は、の道から出て行け。そのはいったの道からは、帰ってはならない。まっすぐに進んで、出て行かなければならない。

10 彼らがはいる時、君たる者は、彼らと共にはいり、彼らが出る時、彼も出なければならない。

11 祭日と祝い日には、素祭として、若い雄牛のために麦粉一エパ、雄のために麦粉一エパ、小のためには、その人のささげうる程度のものを供え、麦粉一エパには一ヒンを加えよ。

12 また君たる者が、心からの供え物として、燔祭または酬恩祭をにささげる時は、彼のために東に面したを開け。彼は安息に行うように、その燔祭と酬恩祭を供え、そして退出する。その退出のは閉ざされる。

13 彼はごとに一歳の無傷の小羊を燔祭として、にささげなければならない。すなわちごとに、これをささげなければならない。

14 彼はごとに、素祭をこれに添えてささげなければならない。すなわち麦粉一エパの分の一に、これを潤す一ヒンの分の一を、素祭としてにささげなければならない。これは常燔祭のおきてである。

15 すなわちごとに常燔祭として、小羊と素祭ととをささげなければならない。

16 なる神は、こう言われる、君たる者が、もしその嗣業から、そののひとりに財産を与える時は、それはそのらの嗣業の所有となる。

17 しかし彼がその奴隷のひとりに、嗣業の一部分を与える時は、それは彼の解放の年まで、その人に属していて、その後は君たる人に帰る。彼の嗣業は、ただその子らにだけ伝わるべきである。

18 君たる者はその民の嗣業を取って、その財産を継がせないようにしてはならない。彼はただ、自分の財産のうちから、その子らにその嗣業を、与えなければならない。これはわが民のひとりでも、その財産を失わないためである」。

19 こうして彼はわたしを連れて、のかたわらの入口から、北向きの祭司の聖なる室に、はいらせた。見ると、西の奥の方に一つの場所があった。

20 彼はわたしに言った、「これは祭司たちが愆祭および祭のものを煮、素祭のものを焼く所である。これは外庭にそれらを携え出て、聖なるべきことを、民にうつさないためである」。

21 彼はまたわたしを外庭に連れ出し、庭のすみを通らせた。見よ、庭のこのすみにも庭があり、また庭のかのすみにも庭があった。

22 すなわち庭のすみに小さい庭があり、長さ四十キュビト、幅三十キュビトで、つとも同じ大きさである。

23 そのつの小さい庭の内部の方には、石のがあり、周囲の下に、物を煮る所が設けてあった。

24 彼はわたしに言った、「これらは宮の仕え人たちが、民のささげる犠牲のものを煮る台所である」。

9927. 'When he goes into the holy place before Jehovah, and when he comes out' means in every state of good and truth in worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'going into the holy place' and 'going in before Jehovah' as worship, dealt with above in 9903, 9907. The reason why the state of good and truth in worship is what is meant is that everything constituting the worship of the Israelite and Jewish nation was representative of internal worship, and internal worship springs from good and truth, or rather from an affection for good and a belief in truth. The reason why their every state is meant is that it says 'when he goes in' and 'when he comes out', and 'going in and coming out' means all aspects of the state. For actions that involve movement from place to place, such as walking, moving about, or advancing, mean the state of the thoughts and affection belonging to whatever thing they refer to, and so in a general sense they mean the state of life. As regards 'walking', that it has this meaning, see 519, 1794, 3335, 4882, 5493, 5605, 8417, 8420, as likewise do 'advancing' and 'journeying on', 8103, 8181, 8397, 8557; and in the next life movements and advancements from place to place are states, 1273-1277, 1376-1381, 2837, 3356, 9440. From this it is evident that 'going in and coming out' means the whole of a state of life or of whatever thing these words refer to. And because they refer here to worship springing from good and truth, the entire state of good and truth in worship is what 'going in and coming out' means.

[2] The origins of this meaning of 'going in and coming out' lie in representatives in the next life. For they who are there move about, walk, advance, go in and come out, just as in the world. But all these movements take place in accord with the state of the life of their thoughts and affections, see the places referred to above. They are not however immediately aware of the fact that these are the origin of the movements they make, or that those movements are correspondences, and for this reason real appearances. From this it is evident that all forms of movement mean things which constitute states of life. So it is that 'going in and coming out' means the entire state of life, thus the state of whatever thing these words refer to, from beginning to end. This is the source of the customary saying used by the ancients, that they knew someone's going in and coming out, or entering and departing, by which they meant that they knew the entire state of his life. And since this saying traces its origin back, as stated above, to correspondences in the next life, a similar use of the saying occurs in the Word; and where it occurs it has a similar meaning, as in the following places: In the first Book of Samuel,

Achish called David and said to him, You have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the camp has been good in my eyes. For I have not found evil in you. 1 Samuel 29:6.

'Your going out and your coming in has been good in my eyes' stands for the fact that he was well pleased with the entire state of the other's life.

[3] In the second Book of Samuel,

You know Abner, that he has come to persuade you, and in order that he may know your departing and your entering, and that he may know everything that you do. 2 Samuel 3:25.

'Knowing the departure and entrance' stands for knowing all the thoughts and deeds of his life, which is why it also says, 'and that he may know everything that you do'. In the second Book of Kings,

I know your sitting, and your going out, and your coming in, and that you rage 1 against Me. 2 Kings 19:27; Isaiah 37:28.

This refers to Sennacherib, king of Assyria. 'Knowing his going out and his coming in' stands for knowledge of all aspects of what he plans. In David,

Jehovah will guard you from all evil, He will guard your soul. Jehovah will guard your going out and your coming in from now and even for evermore. Psalms 121:7-8.

'Guarding the going out and the coming in' stands for protecting every aspect of life in keeping with a state of good and truth.

[4] In Moses,

Let Jehovah God of the spirits of all flesh set 2 a man over the congregation, who may go out before them, and who may come in before them, and who may lead them out, and who may bring them in, that the congregation of Jehovah may not be like a flock which have no shepherd. Numbers 27:16-17.

'Who may go out before them, and who may come in before them' stands for one who may lead them, and so whom they may look to and follow in every state of life. In John,

He who does not go through the door into the sheepfold but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. But he who goes in through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. I am the door; if anyone goes in through Me he will be saved, and will go in and come out and find pasture. John 10:1-2, 9.

'Going in' here means doing so into heaven, thus into the good of love and faith since that good composes heaven. 'Going in and coming out' consequently means being led by the Lord in every state of life, and therefore thinking and willing good in freedom, that is, in love and faith received from the Lord since love and faith constitute freedom.

[5] In Luke,

Jesus sent the twelve disciples to preach the kingdom of God, and said to them, Whatever house you go into, there stay, and from there come out. Luke 9:4.

'Going into a house, staying there, and from there coming out' stands for the enjoyment of heavenly fellowship with those who receive the Lord in faith and love; for in heaven those who live together in the same community are also in the same house, which they go into and come out from, since they are governed by a like good. But those governed by an unlike good cannot do so; or if they do get in, they do not go in through the doors but by some other way. Anyone who does not know that these kinds of things are meant cannot know what is implied by the command that whatever house they went into, there they were to stay and from there come out.

[6] In Ezekiel,

When the prince goes in he shall go in by way of the porch of the gate, and come out by the same way. When the people of the land go in before Jehovah at the appointed feasts, anyone going in by way of the north gate to worship shall come out by way of the south gate; and anyone going in by way of the south gate shall come out by way of the north gate. He shall not return by way of the gate through which he had gone in, but shall come out straight before him. The prince however shall be in their midst; when they go in he shall go in, and when they come out he shall come out. Ezekiel 46:8-10.

These verses refer in the internal sense to a new heaven and a new Church, 'the prince' meaning the truth of faith springing from the good of love. In what manner that truth enters in with angels in heaven and with people of the Church on earth, and how after this it develops when it passes by an external way to more internal things, and when it passes by an internal way to more external ones, is described in those verses by the going in and coming out of the prince and the people of the land. 'The south' is the state of the truth of faith in the internal man, and 'the north' the state of it in the external man. 'Going in and coming out' is the state of life so far as good and truth, thus so far as worship, are concerned.

[7] From all this it may be recognized quite plainly that 'going in' and 'coming out' are descriptive of things such as belong to states of life conditioned by good and truth. For apart from this what real meaning could the prescription have, that the prince should go in by the one or the other gate, and the people of the land likewise? 'The house' here, or the temple, which they went into and came out from, means heaven and the Church, see 3720; 'the prince' the truth of faith, 5044; 'the people of the land' those who are in heaven or who belong to the Church, 2928; 'the way' that which leads to truth, 627, 2333; 'the gate' doctrinal teachings, 2851, 3187; 'the south' where truth dwells in light, 9642, thus truth in the internal man; and 'the north' where truth dwells in obscurity, 3708, thus truth in the external man.
