1 καὶ ἐπιστραφέντες ἀπήραμεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὁδὸν θάλασσαν ἐρυθράν ὃν τρόπον ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρός με καὶ ἐκυκλώσαμεν τὸ ὄρος τὸ σηιρ ἡμέρας πολλάς

2 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με

3 ἱκανούσθω ὑμῖν κυκλοῦν τὸ ὄρος τοῦτο ἐπιστράφητε οὖν ἐπὶ βορρᾶν

4 καὶ τῷ λαῷ ἔντειλαι λέγων ὑμεῖς παραπορεύεσθε διὰ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν ἀδελφῶν ὑμῶν υἱῶν ησαυ οἳ κατοικοῦσιν ἐν σηιρ καὶ φοβηθήσονται ὑμᾶς καὶ εὐλαβηθήσονται ὑμᾶς σφόδρα

5 μὴ συνάψητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον οὐ γὰρ μὴ δῶ ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν οὐδὲ βῆμα ποδός ὅτι ἐν κλήρῳ δέδωκα τοῖς υἱοῖς ησαυ τὸ ὄρος τὸ σηιρ

6 βρώματα ἀργυρίου ἀγοράσατε παρ' αὐτῶν καὶ φάγεσθε καὶ ὕδωρ μέτρῳ λήμψεσθε παρ' αὐτῶν ἀργυρίου καὶ πίεσθε

7 ὁ γὰρ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν εὐλόγησέν σε ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ τῶν χειρῶν σου διάγνωθι πῶς διῆλθες τὴν ἔρημον τὴν μεγάλην καὶ τὴν φοβερὰν ἐκείνην ἰδοὺ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη κύριος ὁ θεός σου μετὰ σοῦ οὐκ ἐπεδεήθης ῥήματος

8 καὶ παρήλθομεν τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς ἡμῶν υἱοὺς ησαυ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν σηιρ παρὰ τὴν ὁδὸν τὴν αραβα ἀπὸ αιλων καὶ ἀπὸ γασιωνγαβερ καὶ ἐπιστρέψαντες παρήλθομεν ὁδὸν ἔρημον μωαβ

9 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με μὴ ἐχθραίνετε τοῖς μωαβίταις καὶ μὴ συνάψητε πρὸς αὐτοὺς πόλεμον οὐ γὰρ μὴ δῶ ὑμῖν ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτῶν ἐν κλήρῳ τοῖς γὰρ υἱοῖς λωτ δέδωκα τὴν σηιρ κληρονομεῖν

10 οἱ ομμιν πρότεροι ἐνεκάθηντο ἐπ' αὐτῆς ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ ἰσχύοντες ὥσπερ οἱ ενακιμ

11 ραφαϊν λογισθήσονται καὶ οὗτοι ὥσπερ οἱ ενακιμ καὶ οἱ μωαβῖται ἐπονομάζουσιν αὐτοὺς ομμιν

12 καὶ ἐν σηιρ ἐνεκάθητο ὁ χορραῖος πρότερον καὶ υἱοὶ ησαυ ἀπώλεσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξέτριψαν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ' αὐτῶν ὃν τρόπον ἐποίησεν ισραηλ τὴν γῆν τῆς κληρονομίας αὐτοῦ ἣν δέδωκεν κύριος αὐτοῖς

13 νῦν οὖν ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀπάρατε ὑμεῖς καὶ παραπορεύεσθε τὴν φάραγγα ζαρετ καὶ παρήλθομεν τὴν φάραγγα ζαρετ

14 καὶ αἱ ἡμέραι ἃς παρεπορεύθημεν ἀπὸ καδης βαρνη ἕως οὗ παρήλθομεν τὴν φάραγγα ζαρετ τριάκοντα καὶ ὀκτὼ ἔτη ἕως οὗ διέπεσεν πᾶσα γενεὰ ἀνδρῶν πολεμιστῶν ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καθότι ὤμοσεν αὐτοῖς ὁ θεός

15 καὶ ἡ χεὶρ τοῦ θεοῦ ἦν ἐπ' αὐτοῖς ἐξαναλῶσαι αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς ἕως οὗ διέπεσαν

16 καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐπεὶ διέπεσαν πάντες οἱ ἄνδρες οἱ πολεμισταὶ ἀποθνῄσκοντες ἐκ μέσου τοῦ λαοῦ

17 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρός με λέγων

18 σὺ παραπορεύσῃ σήμερον τὰ ὅρια μωαβ τὴν σηιρ

19 καὶ προσάξετε ἐγγὺς υἱῶν αμμαν μὴ ἐχθραίνετε αὐτοῖς καὶ μὴ συνάψητε αὐτοῖς εἰς πόλεμον οὐ γὰρ μὴ δῶ ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς υἱῶν αμμαν σοὶ ἐν κλήρῳ ὅτι τοῖς υἱοῖς λωτ δέδωκα αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ

20 γῆ ραφαϊν λογισθήσεται καὶ γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῆς κατῴκουν οἱ ραφαϊν τὸ πρότερον καὶ οἱ αμμανῖται ὀνομάζουσιν αὐτοὺς ζομζομμιν

21 ἔθνος μέγα καὶ πολὺ καὶ δυνατώτερον ὑμῶν ὥσπερ οἱ ενακιμ καὶ ἀπώλεσεν αὐτοὺς κύριος πρὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ κατεκληρονόμησαν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ' αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

22 ὥσπερ ἐποίησαν τοῖς υἱοῖς ησαυ τοῖς κατοικοῦσιν ἐν σηιρ ὃν τρόπον ἐξέτριψαν τὸν χορραῖον ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν καὶ κατεκληρονόμησαν καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ' αὐτῶν ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης

23 καὶ οἱ ευαῖοι οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν ασηρωθ ἕως γάζης καὶ οἱ καππάδοκες οἱ ἐξελθόντες ἐκ καππαδοκίας ἐξέτριψαν αὐτοὺς καὶ κατῳκίσθησαν ἀντ' αὐτῶν

24 νῦν οὖν ἀνάστητε καὶ ἀπάρατε καὶ παρέλθατε ὑμεῖς τὴν φάραγγα αρνων ἰδοὺ παραδέδωκα εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου τὸν σηων βασιλέα εσεβων τὸν αμορραῖον καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἐνάρχου κληρονομεῖν σύναπτε πρὸς αὐτὸν πόλεμον

25 ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ἐνάρχου δοῦναι τὸν τρόμον σου καὶ τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν τῶν ὑποκάτω τοῦ οὐρανοῦ οἵτινες ἀκούσαντες τὸ ὄνομά σου ταραχθήσονται καὶ ὠδῖνας ἕξουσιν ἀπὸ προσώπου σου

26 καὶ ἀπέστειλα πρέσβεις ἐκ τῆς ἐρήμου κεδαμωθ πρὸς σηων βασιλέα εσεβων λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς λέγων

27 παρελεύσομαι διὰ τῆς γῆς σου ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ παρελεύσομαι οὐχὶ ἐκκλινῶ δεξιὰ οὐδὲ ἀριστερά

28 βρώματα ἀργυρίου ἀποδώσῃ μοι καὶ φάγομαι καὶ ὕδωρ ἀργυρίου ἀποδώσῃ μοι καὶ πίομαι πλὴν ὅτι παρελεύσομαι τοῖς ποσίν

29 καθὼς ἐποίησάν μοι οἱ υἱοὶ ησαυ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν σηιρ καὶ οἱ μωαβῖται οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αροηρ ἕως παρέλθω τὸν ιορδάνην εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν δίδωσιν ἡμῖν

30 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν σηων βασιλεὺς εσεβων παρελθεῖν ἡμᾶς δι' αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐσκλήρυνεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτοῦ καὶ κατίσχυσεν τὴν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ ἵνα παραδοθῇ εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου ὡς ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ

31 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με ἰδοὺ ἦργμαι παραδοῦναι πρὸ προσώπου σου τὸν σηων βασιλέα εσεβων τὸν αμορραῖον καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἔναρξαι κληρονομῆσαι τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ

32 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν σηων βασιλεὺς εσεβων εἰς συνάντησιν ἡμῖν αὐτὸς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον ιασσα

33 καὶ παρέδωκεν αὐτὸν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν πρὸ προσώπου ἡμῶν καὶ ἐπατάξαμεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ

34 καὶ ἐκρατήσαμεν πασῶν τῶν πόλεων αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ καὶ ἐξωλεθρεύσαμεν πᾶσαν πόλιν ἑξῆς καὶ τὰς γυναῖκας αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν οὐ κατελίπομεν ζωγρείαν

35 πλὴν τὰ κτήνη ἐπρονομεύσαμεν καὶ τὰ σκῦλα τῶν πόλεων ἐλάβομεν

36 ἐξ αροηρ ἥ ἐστιν παρὰ τὸ χεῖλος χειμάρρου αρνων καὶ τὴν πόλιν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν τῇ φάραγγι καὶ ἕως ὄρους τοῦ γαλααδ οὐκ ἐγενήθη πόλις ἥτις διέφυγεν ἡμᾶς τὰς πάσας παρέδωκεν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν εἰς τὰς χεῖρας ἡμῶν

37 πλὴν εἰς γῆν υἱῶν αμμων οὐ προσήλθομεν πάντα τὰ συγκυροῦντα χειμάρρου ιαβοκ καὶ τὰς πόλεις τὰς ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καθότι ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν κύριος ὁ θεὸς ἡμῶν

1197. From whom went forth the Pelistim [Philistines]. That this signifies a nation thence derived, and that by this nation is signified a mere memory-knowledge of the knowledges of faith and charity, is evident from the Word, where the Philistines are frequently mentioned. In the Ancient Church all those were called Philistines who talked much about faith, and declared that salvation is in faith, and yet had no life of faith. Therefore they preeminently were called “the uncircumcised,” which means those who are devoid of charity. That they were called “the uncircumcised” may be seen in 1 Samuel 14:6; 17:26, 36; 31:4; 2 Samuel 1:20, and in other places. Because they were such, they could not but make the knowledges of faith matters of memory; for the knowledges of spiritual and celestial things and the very mysteries of faith themselves become nothing but matters of memory, when the man who is skilled in them is devoid of charity. The things of the memory are like things dead unless the man is such that from conscience he lives according to them. When he does this, then at the same time as they are things of memory they are also things of life; and only then do they remain with him for his use and salvation after the life of the body. Knowledges [scientiae et cognitiones] are nothing to a man in the other life, even though he may have known all the arcana that have ever been revealed, unless they have affected his life.

[2] Such [as those described above] are everywhere signified by “Philistines” in the prophetical parts of the Word, and also in the historical, as for example, when Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines, and made a covenant with Abimelech, the king of the Philistines (Genesis 20:1; 21:22; 26:1-34). As the knowledges of faith are here signified by the Philistines, Abraham, because he represented the celestial things of faith, sojourned there, and entered into a covenant with them; and likewise Isaac, by whom were represented the spiritual things of faith; but not Jacob, because by him the externals of the church were represented.

[3] That the “Philistines” signify in general a mere memory-knowledge of the knowledges of faith, and specifically those who make faith and salvation consist in knowledges alone, which they make matters of memory, may be seen in Isaiah:

Rejoice not thou whole Philistia, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent’s root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be like a fiery flying serpent (Isaiah 14:29).

Here “the root of the serpent” denotes memory-knowledges; “the basilisk,” evil from the derivative falsity; and “the fruit of a fiery flying serpent,” is their works, which are called “a fiery flying serpent” because they come of cupidities.

[4] In Joel:

What are ye to Me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the borders of Philistia? Will ye render a recompense upon Me? very speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head. Inasmuch as ye have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My desirable good things; the sons also of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the sons of the Javanites, that ye might cause them to remove far from their border (Joel 3:4-6).

Here it is evident what is meant by the Philistines, and by “all Philistia,” or all “the borders” of it. “Silver and gold” here are the spiritual and celestial things of faith; “desirable good things” are the knowledges of them. That they “carried them into their temples,” is that they possessed and proclaimed them; and that they “sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem,” signifies that they had no love and no faith; “Judah” in the Word is the celestial of faith, and “Jerusalem” is the spiritual of faith thence derived, which were “removed far from their borders.” So also in other places in the Prophets, as in Jeremiah 25:20; 47:1; Ezekiel 16:27, 57; 25:15-16, Amos 1:8; Obadiah 1:19; Zephaniah 2:5; Psalms 83:7; 87:4. And concerning the Caphtorim in Deuteronomy 2:23; Jeremiah 47:4; Amos 9:7.
