1 καὶ ᾖσαν δεββωρα καὶ βαρακ υἱὸς αβινεεμ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ λέγοντες

2 ἀπεκαλύφθη ἀποκάλυμμα ἐν ισραηλ ἐν τῷ ἑκουσιασθῆναι λαὸν εὐλογεῖτε κύριον

3 ἀκούσατε βασιλεῖς καὶ ἐνωτίσασθε σατράπαι ἐγώ εἰμι τῷ κυρίῳ ἐγώ εἰμι ᾄσομαι ψαλῶ τῷ κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ ισραηλ

4 κύριε ἐν τῇ ἐξόδῳ σου ἐν σηιρ ἐν τῷ ἀπαίρειν σε ἐξ ἀγροῦ εδωμ γῆ ἐσείσθη καὶ ὁ οὐρανὸς ἔσταξεν δρόσους καὶ αἱ νεφέλαι ἔσταξαν ὕδωρ

5 ὄρη ἐσαλεύθησαν ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου ελωι τοῦτο σινα ἀπὸ προσώπου κυρίου θεοῦ ισραηλ

6 ἐν ἡμέραις σαμεγαρ υἱοῦ αναθ ἐν ἡμέραις ιαηλ ἐξέλιπον ὁδοὺς καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ἀτραπούς ἐπορεύθησαν ὁδοὺς διεστραμμένας

7 ἐξέλιπον δυνατοὶ ἐν ισραηλ ἐξέλιπον ἕως οὗ ἀναστῇ δεββωρα ἕως οὗ ἀναστῇ μήτηρ ἐν ισραηλ

8 ἐξελέξαντο θεοὺς καινούς τότε ἐπολέμησαν πόλεις ἀρχόντων θυρεὸς ἐὰν ὀφθῇ καὶ λόγχη ἐν τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάσιν ἐν ισραηλ

9 ἡ καρδία μου εἰς τὰ διατεταγμένα τῷ ισραηλ οἱ ἑκουσιαζόμενοι ἐν λαῷ εὐλογεῖτε κύριον

10 ἐπιβεβηκότες ἐπὶ ὄνου θηλείας μεσημβρίας καθήμενοι ἐπὶ κριτηρίου καὶ πορευόμενοι ἐπὶ ὁδοὺς συνέδρων ἐφ' ὁδῷ

11 διηγεῖσθε ἀπὸ φωνῆς ἀνακρουομένων ἀνὰ μέσον ὑδρευομένων ἐκεῖ δώσουσιν δικαιοσύνας κυρίῳ δικαιοσύνας αὔξησον ἐν ισραηλ τότε κατέβη εἰς τὰς πόλεις λαὸς κυρίου

12 ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου δεββωρα ἐξεγείρου ἐξεγείρου λάλησον ᾠδήν ἀνάστα βαρακ καὶ αἰχμαλώτισον αἰχμαλωσίαν σου υἱὸς αβινεεμ

13 τότε κατέβη κατάλειμμα τοῖς ἰσχυροῖς λαὸς κυρίου κατέβη αὐτῷ ἐν τοῖς κραταιοῖς

14 ἐξ ἐμοῦ εφραιμ ἐξερρίζωσεν αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ αμαληκ ὀπίσω σου βενιαμιν ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς σου ἐν ἐμοὶ μαχιρ κατέβησαν ἐξερευνῶντες καὶ ἀπὸ ζαβουλων ἕλκοντες ἐν ῥάβδῳ διηγήσεως γραμματέως

15 καὶ ἀρχηγοὶ ἐν ισσαχαρ μετὰ δεββωρας καὶ βαρακ οὕτως βαρακ ἐν κοιλάσιν ἀπέστειλεν ἐν ποσὶν αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς μερίδας ρουβην μεγάλοι ἐξικνούμενοι καρδίαν

16 εἰς τί ἐκάθισαν ἀνὰ μέσον τῆς διγομίας τοῦ ἀκοῦσαι συρισμοῦ ἀγγέλων εἰς διαιρέσεις ρουβην μεγάλοι ἐξετασμοὶ καρδίας

17 γαλααδ ἐν τῷ πέραν τοῦ ιορδάνου ἐσκήνωσεν καὶ δαν εἰς τί παροικεῖ πλοίοις ασηρ ἐκάθισεν παραλίαν θαλασσῶν καὶ ἐπὶ διεξόδοις αὐτοῦ σκηνώσει

18 ζαβουλων λαὸς ὠνείδισεν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ εἰς θάνατον καὶ νεφθαλι ἐπὶ ὕψη ἀγροῦ

19 ἦλθον αὐτῶν βασιλεῖς παρετάξαντο τότε ἐπολέμησαν βασιλεῖς χανααν ἐν θανααχ ἐπὶ ὕδατι μεγεδδω δῶρον ἀργυρίου οὐκ ἔλαβον

20 ἐξ οὐρανοῦ παρετάξαντο οἱ ἀστέρες ἐκ τρίβων αὐτῶν παρετάξαντο μετὰ σισαρα

21 χειμάρρους κισων ἐξέσυρεν αὐτούς χειμάρρους ἀρχαίων χειμάρρους κισων καταπατήσει αὐτὸν ψυχή μου δυνατή

22 τότε ἐνεποδίσθησαν πτέρναι ἵππου σπουδῇ ἔσπευσαν ἰσχυροὶ αὐτοῦ

23 καταρᾶσθε μηρωζ εἶπεν ἄγγελος κυρίου καταρᾶσθε ἐπικατάρατος πᾶς ὁ κατοικῶν αὐτήν ὅτι οὐκ ἤλθοσαν εἰς βοήθειαν κυρίου εἰς βοήθειαν ἐν δυνατοῖς

24 εὐλογηθείη ἐν γυναιξὶν ιαηλ γυνὴ χαβερ τοῦ κιναίου ἀπὸ γυναικῶν ἐν σκηναῖς εὐλογηθείη

25 ὕδωρ ᾔτησεν γάλα ἔδωκεν ἐν λεκάνῃ ὑπερεχόντων προσήνεγκεν βούτυρον

26 χεῖρα αὐτῆς ἀριστερὰν εἰς πάσσαλον ἐξέτεινεν καὶ δεξιὰν αὐτῆς εἰς σφῦραν κοπιώντων καὶ ἐσφυροκόπησεν σισαρα διήλωσεν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπάταξεν διήλωσεν κρόταφον αὐτοῦ

27 ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατεκυλίσθη ἔπεσεν καὶ ἐκοιμήθη ἀνὰ μέσον τῶν ποδῶν αὐτῆς κατακλιθεὶς ἔπεσεν καθὼς κατεκλίθη ἐκεῖ ἔπεσεν ἐξοδευθείς

28 διὰ τῆς θυρίδος παρέκυψεν μήτηρ σισαρα ἐκτὸς τοῦ τοξικοῦ διότι ᾐσχύνθη ἅρμα αὐτοῦ διότι ἐχρόνισαν πόδες ἁρμάτων αὐτοῦ

29 αἱ σοφαὶ ἄρχουσαι αὐτῆς ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτήν καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέστρεψεν λόγους αὐτῆς ἑαυτῇ

30 οὐχ εὑρήσουσιν αὐτὸν διαμερίζοντα σκῦλα οἰκτίρμων οἰκτιρήσει εἰς κεφαλὴν ἀνδρός σκῦλα βαμμάτων τῷ σισαρα σκῦλα βαμμάτων ποικιλίας βάμματα ποικιλτῶν αὐτά τῷ τραχήλῳ αὐτοῦ σκῦλα

31 οὕτως ἀπόλοιντο πάντες οἱ ἐχθροί σου κύριε καὶ οἱ ἀγαπῶντες αὐτὸν ὡς ἔξοδος ἡλίου ἐν δυνάμει αὐτοῦ καὶ ἡσύχασεν ἡ γῆ τεσσαράκοντα ἔτη

406. And a third of the ships were destroyed. This symbolically means that concepts of goodness and truth from the Word that are serviceable for application to life, in them had all been destroyed.

A third means, symbolically, all, as in nos. 400, 404, 405 above. Ships symbolize concepts of goodness and truth from the Word that are serviceable for application to life. Ships have this symbolism because ships travel the sea and bring back the necessities that the natural self needs for its every endeavor, and concepts of goodness and truth are the necessities that the spiritual self needs for its every endeavor. For out of them is formed the doctrine of the church, and in accordance with that a person's life.

Ships symbolize these concepts because they are vessels, and in many places in the Word a vessel is used to express what it contains, as a cup for wine, a dish for food, the Tabernacle or Temple for the sacred objects in it, the Ark for the Law, altars for worship, and so on.

[2] Ships symbolize concepts of goodness and truth in the following places:

Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore, and serve as a haven for ships... (Genesis 49:13)

Zebulun means the conjunction of goodness and truth.

Your builders (O Tyre) have perfected your beauty. They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; they took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast. Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; they made your beam of ivory, your deck of pines from the isles of Kittim... Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen; your wise men were... your shipmasters... All the ships of the sea and their sailors were in you to market your merchandise... Ships of Tarshish were your companies in your commerce, by which you were filled and honored greatly in the midst of the seas. (Ezekiel 27:4-9, 25)

This is said of Tyre, because Tyre in the Word symbolizes the church in respect to its concepts of truth and goodness, as can be seen from the particulars about it in this chapter, and in the following one, chapter 28, understood in its spiritual sense. Moreover, because the church's concepts of truth and goodness are symbolically meant by Tyre, therefore the ship is described in its various parts, and each part symbolizes some aspect of those concepts leading to intelligence. What does the Word have in common with ships of Tyre and its commerce?

[3] The devastation of that same church is afterward described in the following way:

The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your shipmasters, and all who handle the oar will come down from your ships; all the sailors and shipmasters of the sea... because of you will cry bitterly... (Ezekiel 27:28-30; see also Isaiah 23:14-15)

The devastation of Babylon is similarly described in respect to all its concepts of truth in the following verses in the book of Revelation:

...in one hour such great riches were devastated. Every shipmaster, and everyone traveling on ships, and sailors... cried out... saying, "Alas, alas, the great city (Babylon), in which all became rich who had ships on the sea...." (Revelation 18:17, 19)

See below for the exposition.

[4] Ships symbolize concepts of truth and goodness also in the following places:

My days have been swift...; they fled away, they saw no good. They passed by with ships of longing... (Job 9:25-26)

Those who go down to the sea in ships, doing work on many waters, they see the works of Jehovah, and His wonders in the deep. (Psalms 107:23-24)

...the coastlands shall trust in Me, and ships of Tarshish will be first to bring your sons from afar... (Isaiah 60:9)

...the kings assembled...; fear took hold of them... With an east wind You will break the ships of Tarshish. (Psalms 18:4, 6-7)

Wail, you ships of Tarshish! (Isaiah 23:1, 14)

And so on elsewhere, as in Numbers 24:24, Judges 5:17, Psalms 104:26, Isaiah 33:21.
