Ezekielis 46

Studie

   

1 Taip sako Viešpats Dievas: “Vidinio kiemo vartai rytų pusėje bus uždaryti šešias darbo dienas, bet sabato ir jauno mėnulio dieną jie bus atidaryti.

2 Kunigaikštis įeis pro išorinių vartų prieangį ir sustos prie vartų. Kunigas aukos jo deginamąją ir padėkos auką. Jis, pagarbinęs prie vartų, išeis, bet vartai liks atdari iki vakaro.

3 Tauta taip pat pagarbins prie vartų įėjimo sabatais ir jauno mėnulio dienomis Viešpaties akivaizdoje.

4 Kunigaikščio deginamoji auka sabato dieną turi būti šeši sveiki ėriukai ir vienas sveikas avinas.

5 Duonos auka bus viena efa miltų prie avino, o prie ėriukų­kiek jis galės duoti, ir hinas aliejaus prie kiekvienos efos.

6 Jauno mėnulio dieną jis aukos sveiką jauną veršį, šešis ėriukus ir vieną aviną.

7 Jo duonos auka bus po vieną efą miltų prie veršio ir avino, o prie ėriukų­kiek jis duos savo ranka, ir hinas aliejaus prie kiekvienos efos.

8 Kunigaikštis įeis pro vartų prieangį ir tuo pačiu keliu išeis.

9 Kai tauta švenčių metu ateis pagarbinti Viešpaties, tada atėję pro šiaurinius vartus turi išeiti pro pietų pusės vartus, įėję pro pietų pusės vartus turi išeiti pro šiaurinius vartus. Niekas teneišeina pro tuos pačius vartus, pro kuriuos įėjo, bet pro vartus priešingoje pusėje.

10 Kunigaikštis turi būti su jais­ įeiti, kai jie įeina, ir išeiti, kai jie išeina.

11 Švenčių ir iškilmių dieną duonos auka turi būti efa miltų prie kiekvieno veršio ir avino, o prie ėriukų­kiek jis gali duoti, ir vienas hinas aliejaus prie kiekvienos efos.

12 Jei kunigaikštis laisva valia aukos Viešpačiui deginamąją ar padėkos auką, jam bus atidaryti vartai rytų pusėje. Jis įeis ir aukos deginamąją ir padėkos auką kaip per sabatą. Jam išėjus, vartus uždarys.

13 Kiekvieną dieną jis turi parūpinti deginamajai aukai Viešpačiui sveiką metinį avinėlį ir jį aukoti kiekvieną rytą.

14 Jis turi parūpinti kiekvieną rytą duonos aukai šeštą dalį efos miltų ir trečdalį hino aliejaus ir juos sumaišyti. Tai bus duonos auka Viešpačiui. Toks yra amžinas įstatymas apie aukas.

15 Avinėlis, duonos auka ir aliejus bus nuolatinė deginamoji auka kiekvieną rytą”.

16 Taip sako Viešpats Dievas: “Jei kunigaikštis vienam savo sūnų duos dalį iš savo paveldo, tai ji bus jo sūnaus paveldėta nuosavybė.

17 Jei jis dovanos savo tarnui dalį iš savo paveldo, tai priklausys tarnui iki laisvės metų, o po to sugrįš kunigaikščiui. Tik kunigaikščio sūnums priklausys paveldas.

18 Kunigaikštis neturi teisės atimti iš žmonių jų paveldo arba prievarta juos pašalinti iš jų nuosavybės. Jo sūnūs paveldės tik tėvo nuosavybę, kad niekas iš mano tautos nebūtų nuvarytas nuo savo nuosavybės”.

19 Jis įvedė mane pro įėjimą šalia vartų į šventyklos kambarius, skirtus kunigams šiaurės pusėje. Vakarų pusėje, pačiame gale pamačiau vietą.

20 Tada jis tarė: “Šioje vietoje kunigai virs aukas už nuodėmes bei kaltes ir keps duonos auką, kad neišneštų jų į išorinį kiemą ir nepašventintų žmonių”.

21 Po to jis išvedė mane į išorinį kiemą ir vedė į visus keturis kiemo kampus. Kiekviename kiemo kampe buvo po kiemą,

22 keturiasdešimties uolekčių ilgio ir trisdešimties uolekčių pločio. Visi keturi buvo vienodo dydžio

23 ir apvesti mūrine siena, o po siena buvo židiniai.

24 Tada jis tarė: “Tai virtuvės, kuriose šventyklos tarnai virs tautos aukas”.

4482. 'Behold, the land is broad and spacious before them' means extension, that is to say, of truth which is the truth of doctrine. This is clear from the meaning of 'the land' as the Church, dealt with just above in 4480, and from the meaning of 'broad and spacious' as extension as regards truths, and so as regards those taught by doctrine. When in the Word the measurements of something are given, it is not those measurements that are meant in the internal sense but the essential characteristics of a state that is being described. For measurements involve spatial dimensions and in the next life there are no intervals of space, as there are no periods of time, but states which correspond to these, see 2625, 2837, 3356, 3387, 3404, 4321. That being so, lengths, breadths, and heights, which are spatial measurements, mean the aspects of a state - length meaning holiness, height good, and breadth truth, see 650, 1613, 3433, 3434. This then is why 'the land is broad and spacious' means the extension of truth which is the truth of doctrine within the Church.

[2] Anyone who does not know of the existence of anything spiritual in the Word other than that which stands out in the literal sense is bound to be amazed by the statement that 'the land is broad and specious' means the extension of truth which is the truth of doctrine within the Church. But the truth of this statement may be established from places where 'breadth' is mentioned in the Word, as in Isaiah,

Asshur will go through Judah, it will deluge it and pass through and will reach even to the neck; and the outstretchings of its wings will fill the breadth of the land. Isaiah 8:8.

In David,

O Jehovah, You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have made my feet stand in a broad place. Psalms 31:8.

In the same author,

Out of my distress I called on Jah; He answered me in a broad place. Psalms 118:5.

In Habakkuk,

I am rousing the Chaldeans, a bitter and hasty nation, marching' into the breadths of the earth. Habakkuk 1:6.

'Breadths' here means nothing other than the truth of the Church.

[3] The reason why breadth has this meaning is that in the spiritual world, that is, in heaven, the Lord is the centre of all, for He is the Sun there. Those in a state of good are more interior, their exact position towards the middle being determined by the character and the amount of the good present in them. This is why 'height' is used in reference to good. Those who are in a similar degree of good are also in a similar degree of truth, and so dwell so to speak at the same distance from the centre, or one might say, dwell on the same contour; and this is why 'breadth' is used in reference to truths. Therefore when a person reads the Word the angels present with him do not understand by 'breadth' anything other than truths. When in the Historical sections, for example, the ark, the altar, the temple, and the spaces outside cities are referred to, states of good and truth are perceived by the dimensions indicating the lengths, breadths, and heights of these. The same is so with the new earth, new Jerusalem, and new Temple - described in Chapters 40-47 of Ezekiel - by which heaven and a new Church are meant, as may be seen from the detailed descriptions in those chapters. So also in John where it is said of the New Jerusalem that it will be foursquare, 'its length being as great as its breadth', Revelation 21:16.

[4] Things which in the spiritual world are interior are described as those that are higher, while those that are exterior are described by those that are lower, 2148, for while in the world, no one can conceive of interior things and exterior ones in any other way, for the reason that he dwells within space and time, and things that belong to space and time have entered in among the ideas comprising his thought and have conditioned the majority of these. From this it is also evident that expressions which give the spatial measurements of things such as the height, length, and breadth of them, are in the spiritual sense expressions used to indicate the magnitude of affections for good and affections for truth.

Ezekiel 47

Studie

   

1 Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.

2 Then brought he me out of the way of the gate northward, and led me about the way without unto the utter gate by the way that looketh eastward; and, behold, there ran out waters on the right side.

3 And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were to the ancles.

4 Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters; the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through; the waters were to the loins.

5 Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

6 And he said unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen this? Then he brought me, and caused me to return to the brink of the river.

7 Now when I had returned, behold, at the bank of the river were very many trees on the one side and on the other.

8 Then said he unto me, These waters issue out toward the east country, and go down into the desert, and go into the sea: which being brought forth into the sea, the waters shall be healed.

9 And it shall come to pass, that every thing that liveth, which moveth, whithersoever the rivers shall come, shall live: and there shall be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters shall come thither: for they shall be healed; and every thing shall live whither the river cometh.

10 And it shall come to pass, that the fishers shall stand upon it from En-gedi even unto En-eglaim; they shall be a place to spread forth nets; their fish shall be according to their kinds, as the fish of the great sea, exceeding many.

11 But the miry places thereof and the marishes thereof shall not be healed; they shall be given to salt.

12 And by the river upon the bank thereof, on this side and on that side, shall grow all trees for meat, whose leaf shall not fade, neither shall the fruit thereof be consumed: it shall bring forth new fruit according to his months, because their waters they issued out of the sanctuary: and the fruit thereof shall be for meat, and the leaf thereof for medicine.

13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.

14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.

15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;

16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazar-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.

17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.

19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.

21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.

22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord GOD.
