Numeri 10

Studie

   

1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

2 Fac tibi duas tubas argenteas ductiles, quibus convocare possis multitudinem quando movenda sunt castra.

3 Cumque increpueris tubis, congregabitur ad te omnis turba ad ostium tabernaculi fœderis.

4 Si semel clangueris, venient ad te principes, et capita multitudinis Israël.

5 Si autem prolixior atque concisus clangor increpuerit, movebunt castra primi qui sunt ad orientalem plagam.

6 In secundo autem sonitu et pari ululatu tubæ, levabunt tentoria qui habitant ad meridiem ; et juxta hunc modum reliqui facient, ululantibus tubis in profectionem.

7 Quando autem congregandus est populus, simplex tubarum clangor erit, et non concise ululabunt.

8 Filii autem Aaron sacerdotes clangent tubis : eritque hoc legitimum sempiternum in generationibus vestris.

9 Si exieritis ad bellum de terra vestra contra hostes qui dimicant adversum vos, clangetis ululantibus tubis, et erit recordatio vestri coram Domino Deo vestro, ut eruamini de manibus inimicorum vestrorum.

10 Siquando habebitis epulum, et dies festos, et calendas, canetis tubis super holocaustis, et pacificis victimis, ut sint vobis in recordationem Dei vestri. Ego Dominus Deus vester.

11 Anno secundo, mense secundo, vigesima die mensis, elevata est nubes de tabernaculo fœderis :

12 profectique sunt filii Israël per turmas suas de deserto Sinai, et recubuit nubes in solitudine Pharan.

13 Moveruntque castra primi juxta imperium Domini in manu Moysi.

14 Filii Juda per turmas suas : quorum princeps erat Nahasson filius Aminadab.

15 In tribu filiorum Issachar fuit princeps Nathanaël filius Suar.

16 In tribu Zabulon erat princeps Eliab filius Helon.

17 Depositumque est tabernaculum, quod portantes egressi sunt filii Gerson et Merari.

18 Profectique sunt et filii Ruben, per turmas et ordinem suum : quorum princeps erat Helisur filius Sedeur.

19 In tribu autem filiorum Simeon, princeps fuit Salamiel filius Surisaddai.

20 Porro in tribu Gad erat princeps Eliasaph filius Duel.

21 Profectique sunt et Caathitæ portantes sanctuarium. Tamdiu tabernaculum portabatur, donec venirent ad erectionis locum.

22 Moverunt castra et filii Ephraim per turmas suas, in quorum exercitu princeps erat Elisama filius Ammiud.

23 In tribu autem filiorum Manasse princeps fuit Gamaliel filius Phadassur.

24 Et in tribu Benjamin erat dux Abidan filius Gedeonis.

25 Novissimi castrorum omnium profecti sunt filii Dan per turmas suas, in quorum exercitu princeps fuit Ahiezer filius Ammisaddai.

26 In tribu autem filiorum Aser erat princeps Phegiel filius Ochran.

27 Et in tribu filiorum Nephthali princeps fuit Ahira filius Enan.

28 Hæc sunt castra, et profectiones filiorum Israël per turmas suas quando egrediebantur.

29 Dixitque Moyses Hobab filio Raguel Madianitæ, cognato suo : Proficiscimur ad locum quem Dominus daturus est nobis : veni nobiscum, ut benefaciamus tibi, quia Dominus bona promisit Israëli.

30 Cui ille respondit : Non vadam tecum, sed revertar in terram meam, in qua natus sum.

31 Et ille : Noli, inquit, nos relinquere : tu enim nosti in quibus locis per desertum castra ponere debeamus, et eris ductor noster.

32 Cumque nobiscum veneris, quidquid optimum fuerit ex opibus, quas nobis traditurus est Dominus, dabimus tibi.

33 Profecti sunt ergo de monte Domini viam trium dierum, arcaque fœderis Domini præcedebat eos, per dies tres providens castrorum locum.

34 Nubes quoque Domini super eos erat per diem cum incederent.

35 Cumque elevaretur arca, dicebat Moyses : Surge, Domine, et dissipentur inimici tui, et fugiant qui oderunt te, a facie tua.

36 Cum autem deponeretur, aiebat : Revertere, Domine, ad multitudinem exercitus Israël.

Ark

  
Depiction of Noah sending off a dove from the ark by DREUX, Jean;   MASTER of Margaret of York;   HENNECART, Jean

The third ark represents the third or inmost heaven where the angels are closest to the Lord, and the Lord Himself is represented by the two tables of stone which had on them His law, written by His finger. For this reason it was the most holy possession that the children of Israel had and it had power to affect the Jordan river and to discomfit Israel's enemies. It was kept in the closed part of the tabernacle where only Moses and Aaron could go. From the ark in its chamber the holiness rested in a lower degree in the outer room of the tabernacle, which represented the second or middle heaven, and in an even lower degree in the courtyard, inside the curtain fence, which represented the first or outer heaven.The ark for Moses, made of rushes was also sealed inside and out. Moses represents the Lord's Word, and because he was then an infant, our first ideas about the holiness of the Word when we are very young. So it isn't a solid and lasting structure, but a crude one because our young ideas are so unformed as yet. It also represents the first ideas of the Word in the mind of JesusAt the time of Noah the very first church, represented by Adam, had come to its end, and a new one had to be opened by the Lord. The minds of the people that were in that church are represented by the ark, and all the animals represented loves and affections, both good and bad, that those people had. The minds of these people were not the same as those of the people of the former church. The old selfish will inherited from their ancestors is represented by the gopher wood from which the basic ark was built, but which was sealed off inside and out by the bitumin. Their ancestors, the Adamites, didn't have this "sealing off" and so couldn't divide what they knew from what they desired. Noah and his family represent the ruling loves and the wish to follow the Lord. The ark keeps the flood of falsities from drowning those minds, and the door and window represent the hearing and seeing of truth from the doctrines that remained from the Adamic church. And so, held safe, they could use those principles, learned from doctrine, to form a conscience, which if followed would allow the Lord to build a new will for good in the mind. This separation of the will and understanding that can be made in the mind still reflects today the way we are, and still allows us to build a conscience, despite our own selfish will.There are three arks mentioned in the Word, the ark of Noah, the ark of bulrushes for the baby Moses, and the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle. All three of these represent the human mind at some point in its development
