1 καὶ ἦλθον οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή εἰς τὴν ἔρημον σιν ἐν τῷ μηνὶ τῷ πρώτῳ καὶ κατέμεινεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν καδης καὶ ἐτελεύτησεν ἐκεῖ μαριαμ καὶ ἐτάφη ἐκεῖ

2 καὶ οὐκ ἦν ὕδωρ τῇ συναγωγῇ καὶ ἠθροίσθησαν ἐπὶ μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων

3 καὶ ἐλοιδορεῖτο ὁ λαὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγοντες ὄφελον ἀπεθάνομεν ἐν τῇ ἀπωλείᾳ τῶν ἀδελφῶν ἡμῶν ἔναντι κυρίου

4 καὶ ἵνα τί ἀνηγάγετε τὴν συναγωγὴν κυρίου εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ταύτην ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς καὶ τὰ κτήνη ἡμῶν

5 καὶ ἵνα τί τοῦτο ἀνηγάγετε ἡμᾶς ἐξ αἰγύπτου παραγενέσθαι εἰς τὸν τόπον τὸν πονηρὸν τοῦτον τόπος οὗ οὐ σπείρεται οὐδὲ συκαῖ οὐδὲ ἄμπελοι οὐδὲ ῥόαι οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἐστὶν πιεῖν

6 καὶ ἦλθεν μωυσῆς καὶ ααρων ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς συναγωγῆς ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον καὶ ὤφθη ἡ δόξα κυρίου πρὸς αὐτούς

7 καὶ ἐλάλησεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν λέγων

8 λαβὲ τὴν ῥάβδον καὶ ἐκκλησίασον τὴν συναγωγὴν σὺ καὶ ααρων ὁ ἀδελφός σου καὶ λαλήσατε πρὸς τὴν πέτραν ἔναντι αὐτῶν καὶ δώσει τὰ ὕδατα αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξοίσετε αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας καὶ ποτιεῖτε τὴν συναγωγὴν καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν

9 καὶ ἔλαβεν μωυσῆς τὴν ῥάβδον τὴν ἀπέναντι κυρίου καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος

10 καὶ ἐξεκκλησίασεν μωυσῆς καὶ ααρων τὴν συναγωγὴν ἀπέναντι τῆς πέτρας καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς ἀκούσατέ μου οἱ ἀπειθεῖς μὴ ἐκ τῆς πέτρας ταύτης ἐξάξομεν ὑμῖν ὕδωρ

11 καὶ ἐπάρας μωυσῆς τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπάταξεν τὴν πέτραν τῇ ῥάβδῳ δίς καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὕδωρ πολύ καὶ ἔπιεν ἡ συναγωγὴ καὶ τὰ κτήνη αὐτῶν

12 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε ἁγιάσαι με ἐναντίον υἱῶν ισραηλ διὰ τοῦτο οὐκ εἰσάξετε ὑμεῖς τὴν συναγωγὴν ταύτην εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν δέδωκα αὐτοῖς

13 τοῦτο ὕδωρ ἀντιλογίας ὅτι ἐλοιδορήθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ ἔναντι κυρίου καὶ ἡγιάσθη ἐν αὐτοῖς

14 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μωυσῆς ἀγγέλους ἐκ καδης πρὸς βασιλέα εδωμ λέγων τάδε λέγει ὁ ἀδελφός σου ισραηλ σὺ ἐπίστῃ πάντα τὸν μόχθον τὸν εὑρόντα ἡμᾶς

15 καὶ κατέβησαν οἱ πατέρες ἡμῶν εἰς αἴγυπτον καὶ παρῳκήσαμεν ἐν αἰγύπτῳ ἡμέρας πλείους καὶ ἐκάκωσαν ἡμᾶς οἱ αἰγύπτιοι καὶ τοὺς πατέρας ἡμῶν

16 καὶ ἀνεβοήσαμεν πρὸς κύριον καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ἡμῶν καὶ ἀποστείλας ἄγγελον ἐξήγαγεν ἡμᾶς ἐξ αἰγύπτου καὶ νῦν ἐσμεν ἐν καδης πόλει ἐκ μέρους τῶν ὁρίων σου

17 παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου οὐ διελευσόμεθα δι' ἀγρῶν οὐδὲ δι' ἀμπελώνων οὐδὲ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ λάκκου σου ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν δεξιὰ οὐδὲ εὐώνυμα ἕως ἂν παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου

18 καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν εδωμ οὐ διελεύσῃ δι' ἐμοῦ εἰ δὲ μή ἐν πολέμῳ ἐξελεύσομαι εἰς συνάντησίν σοι

19 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα ἐὰν δὲ τοῦ ὕδατός σου πίωμεν ἐγώ τε καὶ τὰ κτήνη δώσω τιμήν σοι ἀλλὰ τὸ πρᾶγμα οὐδέν ἐστιν παρὰ τὸ ὄρος παρελευσόμεθα

20 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν οὐ διελεύσῃ δι' ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν εδωμ εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτῷ ἐν ὄχλῳ βαρεῖ καὶ ἐν χειρὶ ἰσχυρᾷ

21 καὶ οὐκ ἠθέλησεν εδωμ δοῦναι τῷ ισραηλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξέκλινεν ισραηλ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ

22 καὶ ἀπῆραν ἐκ καδης καὶ παρεγένοντο οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγή εἰς ωρ τὸ ὄρος

23 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν καὶ ααρων ἐν ωρ τῷ ὄρει ἐπὶ τῶν ὁρίων γῆς εδωμ λέγων

24 προστεθήτω ααρων πρὸς τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν γῆν ἣν δέδωκα τοῖς υἱοῖς ισραηλ διότι παρωξύνατέ με ἐπὶ τοῦ ὕδατος τῆς λοιδορίας

25 λαβὲ τὸν ααρων καὶ ελεαζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀναβίβασον αὐτοὺς εἰς ωρ τὸ ὄρος ἔναντι πάσης τῆς συναγωγῆς

26 καὶ ἔκδυσον ααρων τὴν στολὴν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔνδυσον ελεαζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ααρων προστεθεὶς ἀποθανέτω ἐκεῖ

27 καὶ ἐποίησεν μωυσῆς καθὰ συνέταξεν κύριος καὶ ἀνεβίβασεν αὐτὸν εἰς ωρ τὸ ὄρος ἐναντίον πάσης τῆς συναγωγῆς

28 καὶ ἐξέδυσεν ααρων τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐνέδυσεν αὐτὰ ελεαζαρ τὸν υἱὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπέθανεν ααρων ἐπὶ τῆς κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους καὶ κατέβη μωυσῆς καὶ ελεαζαρ ἐκ τοῦ ὄρους

29 καὶ εἶδεν πᾶσα ἡ συναγωγὴ ὅτι ἀπελύθη ααρων καὶ ἔκλαυσαν τὸν ααρων τριάκοντα ἡμέρας πᾶς οἶκος ισραηλ

3255. And was gathered to his peoples. That this signifies that these things were concerning Abraham, is evident from the signification of being “gathered to his peoples,” as being to be no longer the subject; for to be gathered to his peoples is to go away from those among whom he has been hitherto, and pass to his own; thus in the present case to be no longer a representative. It was customary with the ancients when anyone died, to say that he was gathered to his fathers or to his peoples, and they understood by this form of expression that he actually went to his parents, relations, and kinsfolk in the other life. They derived this form of speech from the most ancient people, who were celestial men, for while living on earth these were at the same time with the angels in heaven, and thus knew how the case is, namely, that all who are in the same good meet and are together in the other life, and likewise all who are in the same truth. Of the former they said that they were “gathered to their fathers,” but of the latter that they were “gathered to their peoples;” for with them “fathers” signified goods (n. 2803), and “peoples” signified truths (n. 1259, 1260). As the people of the Most Ancient Church were all in similar good, they dwell together in heaven (n. 1115); and the case is the same with many of the people of the Ancient Church, who were in similar truth (n. 1125, 1127).

[2] Moreover while a man lives in the body he is always as to his soul in some society of spirits in the other life (n. 1277, 2379); the man who is evil is in a society of infernal spirits; and the man who is good is in a society of angels. Thus everyone is in a society of such spirits as he is in agreement with, either as to good and truth, or as to evil and falsity; and into this same society the man comes when he dies (n. 687). This is what among the ancients was signified by being “gathered to their fathers,” or “to their peoples,” as is here said of Abraham when he expired, and of Ishmael in this same chapter (Genesis 25:17); of Isaac (Genesis 35:29); of Jacob (Genesis 49:29, 33); of Aaron (Numbers 20:24, 26); of Moses (Numbers 27:13; 31:2; Deuteronomy 32:50); and of the first generation that entered into the land of Canaan (Judges 2:10). But in the internal sense of the Word, when anyone’s life is treated of representatively, by being “gathered to his peoples” is signified that he is no longer the subject, as before said.
