1 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων

2 ποίησον σεαυτῷ δύο σάλπιγγας ἀργυρᾶς ἐλατὰς ποιήσεις αὐτάς καὶ ἔσονταί σοι ἀνακαλεῖν τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ ἐξαίρειν τὰς παρεμβολάς

3 καὶ σαλπίσεις ἐν αὐταῖς καὶ συναχθήσεται πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

4 ἐὰν δὲ ἐν μιᾷ σαλπίσωσιν προσελεύσονται πρὸς σὲ πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες ἀρχηγοὶ ισραηλ

5 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι ἀνατολάς

6 καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν δευτέραν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι λίβα καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τρίτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι παρὰ θάλασσαν καὶ σαλπιεῖτε σημασίαν τετάρτην καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν αἱ παρεμβολαὶ αἱ παρεμβάλλουσαι πρὸς βορρᾶν σημασίᾳ σαλπιοῦσιν ἐν τῇ ἐξάρσει αὐτῶν

7 καὶ ὅταν συναγάγητε τὴν συναγωγήν σαλπιεῖτε καὶ οὐ σημασίᾳ

8 καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ααρων οἱ ἱερεῖς σαλπιοῦσιν ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν

9 ἐὰν δὲ ἐξέλθητε εἰς πόλεμον ἐν τῇ γῇ ὑμῶν πρὸς τοὺς ὑπεναντίους τοὺς ἀνθεστηκότας ὑμῖν καὶ σημανεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν καὶ ἀναμνησθήσεσθε ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ διασωθήσεσθε ἀπὸ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ὑμῶν

10 καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς εὐφροσύνης ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς ὑμῶν καὶ ἐν ταῖς νουμηνίαις ὑμῶν σαλπιεῖτε ταῖς σάλπιγξιν ἐπὶ τοῖς ὁλοκαυτώμασιν καὶ ἐπὶ ταῖς θυσίαις τῶν σωτηρίων ὑμῶν καὶ ἔσται ὑμῖν ἀνάμνησις ἔναντι τοῦ θεοῦ ὑμῶν ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὑμῶν

11 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐνιαυτῷ τῷ δευτέρῳ ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ δευτέρῳ εἰκάδι τοῦ μηνὸς ἀνέβη ἡ νεφέλη ἀπὸ τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου

12 καὶ ἐξῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ σὺν ἀπαρτίαις αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ σινα καὶ ἔστη ἡ νεφέλη ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τοῦ φαραν

13 καὶ ἐξῆραν πρῶτοι διὰ φωνῆς κυρίου ἐν χειρὶ μωυσῆ

14 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν ιουδα πρῶτοι σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ναασσων υἱὸς αμιναδαβ

15 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ισσαχαρ ναθαναηλ υἱὸς σωγαρ

16 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ζαβουλων ελιαβ υἱὸς χαιλων

17 καὶ καθελοῦσιν τὴν σκηνὴν καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ γεδσων καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ μεραρι αἴροντες τὴν σκηνήν

18 καὶ ἐξῆραν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς ρουβην σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ελισουρ υἱὸς σεδιουρ

19 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν συμεων σαλαμιηλ υἱὸς σουρισαδαι

20 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν γαδ ελισαφ ὁ τοῦ ραγουηλ

21 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν οἱ υἱοὶ κααθ αἴροντες τὰ ἅγια καὶ στήσουσιν τὴν σκηνήν ἕως παραγένωνται

22 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς εφραιμ σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν ελισαμα υἱὸς εμιουδ

23 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν μανασση γαμαλιηλ ὁ τοῦ φαδασσουρ

24 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν βενιαμιν αβιδαν ὁ τοῦ γαδεωνι

25 καὶ ἐξαροῦσιν τάγμα παρεμβολῆς υἱῶν δαν ἔσχατοι πασῶν τῶν παρεμβολῶν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτῶν αχιεζερ ὁ τοῦ αμισαδαι

26 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν ασηρ φαγαιηλ υἱὸς εχραν

27 καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς δυνάμεως φυλῆς υἱῶν νεφθαλι αχιρε υἱὸς αιναν

28 αὗται αἱ στρατιαὶ υἱῶν ισραηλ καὶ ἐξῆραν σὺν δυνάμει αὐτῶν

29 καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς τῷ ιωβαβ υἱῷ ραγουηλ τῷ μαδιανίτῃ τῷ γαμβρῷ μωυσῆ ἐξαίρομεν ἡμεῖς εἰς τὸν τόπον ὃν εἶπεν κύριος τοῦτον δώσω ὑμῖν δεῦρο μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν ὅτι κύριος ἐλάλησεν καλὰ περὶ ισραηλ

30 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτόν οὐ πορεύσομαι ἀλλὰ εἰς τὴν γῆν μου καὶ εἰς τὴν γενεάν μου

31 καὶ εἶπεν μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς ἡμᾶς οὗ εἵνεκεν ἦσθα μεθ' ἡμῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ καὶ ἔσῃ ἐν ἡμῖν πρεσβύτης

32 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν πορευθῇς μεθ' ἡμῶν καὶ ἔσται τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἐκεῖνα ὅσα ἐὰν ἀγαθοποιήσῃ κύριος ἡμᾶς καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσομεν

33 καὶ ἐξῆραν ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους κυρίου ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ ἡ κιβωτὸς τῆς διαθήκης κυρίου προεπορεύετο προτέρα αὐτῶν ὁδὸν τριῶν ἡμερῶν κατασκέψασθαι αὐτοῖς ἀνάπαυσιν

34 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν τὴν κιβωτὸν καὶ εἶπεν μωυσῆς ἐξεγέρθητι κύριε διασκορπισθήτωσαν οἱ ἐχθροί σου φυγέτωσαν πάντες οἱ μισοῦντές σε

35 καὶ ἐν τῇ καταπαύσει εἶπεν ἐπίστρεφε κύριε χιλιάδας μυριάδας ἐν τῷ ισραηλ

36 καὶ ἡ νεφέλη ἐγένετο σκιάζουσα ἐπ' αὐτοῖς ἡμέρας ἐν τῷ ἐξαίρειν αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς

935. Yielding its fruit according to the month. This symbolically means that the Lord produces the goods in a person in accordance with every state of truth in him.

A month symbolizes a person's state of life in respect to truth, as will be seen below. To yield fruit means, symbolically, to produce goods. That fruits are goods of love and charity is something we just showed in no. 934 above. Moreover, because it is the Lord who essentially produces these in a person - even though the person does them as though of himself, thus apparently, as we said in no. 934 above - it follows that the symbolic meaning here is that the Lord produces them inmostly when He is present there.

But we must say how one is to understand the Lord's producing goods of charity in a person in accordance with every state of truth in him.

Someone who believes that a person does good acceptable to the Lord, good that is called spiritual good, without possessing in him truths from the Word, is much mistaken. Goods without truths are not good, and truths without goods are not true in the person, even though they are true in themselves. For good without truth is like something a person wills without understanding, a volition that is not human, but one like that of an animal, or like that of a robot that an operator causes to function.

On the other hand, volition together with comprehension becomes human in accordance with the state of the intellect by which it finds expression. For the condition of everyone's life is such that a person's will can do nothing without the instrumentality of the intellect, nor can the intellect entertain any thought without doing so from the will. The case is the same with goodness and truth, since goodness has to do with the will, and truth with the intellect.

[2] It is apparent from this that the good that the Lord produces in a person accords with the state of truth in him that forms his understanding.

This is what the tree of life yielding its fruit every month symbolizes, because a month symbolizes the state of truth in a person.

All periods of time, such as hours, days, weeks, months, years, and centuries, symbolize states of life, as may be seen in nos. 476, 562. Months symbolize states of life in respect to truths, because months mean times determined by the moon, and the moon symbolizes the truth of the intellect and of faith (nos. 332, 413, 414, 919).

Months have the same meaning in the following:

Blessed of Jehovah is (Joseph's) land..., with the precious fruits of the sun, and with the precious produce of the months... (Deuteronomy 33:13-14)

It shall come to pass that from month to month, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh shall come to bow down before (Jehovah).... (Isaiah 66:23)

Because of the symbolic meaning of a month, which is the same as that of the moon, sacrifices were made at the beginnings of each month or new moon (Numbers 29:1-6, Isaiah 1:14). The Israelites also sounded the trumpets then (Numbers 10:10, Psalms 81:3). And they were commanded to observe the month of Abib, in which they celebrated Passover (Exodus 12:2, Deuteronomy 16:1).

Months symbolize states of truth in a person, and in an opposite sense states of falsity in him, as may also be seen above in Revelation 9:5, 10, 15; 11:2, and 13:5.

A month has the same symbolic meaning here as in Ezekiel 47:12.
