1 καὶ ἤκουσεν ὁ χανανις βασιλεὺς αραδ ὁ κατοικῶν κατὰ τὴν ἔρημον ἦλθεν γὰρ ισραηλ ὁδὸν αθαριν καὶ ἐπολέμησεν πρὸς ισραηλ καὶ κατεπρονόμευσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν αἰχμαλωσίαν

2 καὶ ηὔξατο ισραηλ εὐχὴν κυρίῳ καὶ εἶπεν ἐάν μοι παραδῷς τὸν λαὸν τοῦτον ὑποχείριον ἀναθεματιῶ αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ

3 καὶ εἰσήκουσεν κύριος τῆς φωνῆς ισραηλ καὶ παρέδωκεν τὸν χανανιν ὑποχείριον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀνεθεμάτισεν αὐτὸν καὶ τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπεκάλεσαν τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀνάθεμα

4 καὶ ἀπάραντες ἐξ ωρ τοῦ ὄρους ὁδὸν ἐπὶ θάλασσαν ἐρυθρὰν περιεκύκλωσαν γῆν εδωμ καὶ ὠλιγοψύχησεν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ

5 καὶ κατελάλει ὁ λαὸς πρὸς τὸν θεὸν καὶ κατὰ μωυσῆ λέγοντες ἵνα τί ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς ἐξ αἰγύπτου ἀποκτεῖναι ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἄρτος οὐδὲ ὕδωρ ἡ δὲ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν προσώχθισεν ἐν τῷ ἄρτῳ τῷ διακένῳ

6 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν κύριος εἰς τὸν λαὸν τοὺς ὄφεις τοὺς θανατοῦντας καὶ ἔδακνον τὸν λαόν καὶ ἀπέθανεν λαὸς πολὺς τῶν υἱῶν ισραηλ

7 καὶ παραγενόμενος ὁ λαὸς πρὸς μωυσῆν ἔλεγον ὅτι ἡμάρτομεν ὅτι κατελαλήσαμεν κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ σοῦ εὖξαι οὖν πρὸς κύριον καὶ ἀφελέτω ἀφ' ἡμῶν τὸν ὄφιν καὶ ηὔξατο μωυσῆς πρὸς κύριον περὶ τοῦ λαοῦ

8 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν ποίησον σεαυτῷ ὄφιν καὶ θὲς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν δάκῃ ὄφις ἄνθρωπον πᾶς ὁ δεδηγμένος ἰδὼν αὐτὸν ζήσεται

9 καὶ ἐποίησεν μωυσῆς ὄφιν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σημείου καὶ ἐγένετο ὅταν ἔδακνεν ὄφις ἄνθρωπον καὶ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ τὸν ὄφιν τὸν χαλκοῦν καὶ ἔζη

10 καὶ ἀπῆραν οἱ υἱοὶ ισραηλ καὶ παρενέβαλον ἐν ωβωθ

11 καὶ ἐξάραντες ἐξ ωβωθ παρενέβαλον ἐν αχελγαι ἐκ τοῦ πέραν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον μωαβ κατὰ ἀνατολὰς ἡλίου

12 ἐκεῖθεν ἀπῆραν καὶ παρενέβαλον εἰς φάραγγα ζαρετ

13 καὶ ἐκεῖθεν ἀπάραντες παρενέβαλον εἰς τὸ πέραν αρνων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τὸ ἐξέχον ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῶν αμορραίων ἔστιν γὰρ αρνων ὅρια μωαβ ἀνὰ μέσον μωαβ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ αμορραίου

14 διὰ τοῦτο λέγεται ἐν βιβλίῳ πόλεμος τοῦ κυρίου τὴν ζωοβ ἐφλόγισεν καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους αρνων

15 καὶ τοὺς χειμάρρους κατέστησεν κατοικίσαι ηρ καὶ πρόσκειται τοῖς ὁρίοις μωαβ

16 καὶ ἐκεῖθεν τὸ φρέαρ τοῦτό ἐστιν τὸ φρέαρ ὃ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν συνάγαγε τὸν λαόν καὶ δώσω αὐτοῖς ὕδωρ πιεῖν

17 τότε ᾖσεν ισραηλ τὸ ἆ|σμα τοῦτο ἐπὶ τοῦ φρέατος ἐξάρχετε αὐτῷ

18 φρέαρ ὤρυξαν αὐτὸ ἄρχοντες ἐξελατόμησαν αὐτὸ βασιλεῖς ἐθνῶν ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ αὐτῶν ἐν τῷ κυριεῦσαι αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπὸ φρέατος εἰς μανθαναιν

19 καὶ ἀπὸ μανθαναιν εἰς νααλιηλ καὶ ἀπὸ νααλιηλ εἰς βαμωθ

20 καὶ ἀπὸ βαμωθ εἰς νάπην ἥ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ πεδίῳ μωαβ ἀπὸ κορυφῆς τοῦ λελαξευμένου τὸ βλέπον κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς ἐρήμου

21 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μωυσῆς πρέσβεις πρὸς σηων βασιλέα αμορραίων λόγοις εἰρηνικοῖς λέγων

22 παρελευσόμεθα διὰ τῆς γῆς σου τῇ ὁδῷ πορευσόμεθα οὐκ ἐκκλινοῦμεν οὔτε εἰς ἀγρὸν οὔτε εἰς ἀμπελῶνα οὐ πιόμεθα ὕδωρ ἐκ φρέατός σου ὁδῷ βασιλικῇ πορευσόμεθα ἕως παρέλθωμεν τὰ ὅριά σου

23 καὶ οὐκ ἔδωκεν σηων τῷ ισραηλ παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν ὁρίων αὐτοῦ καὶ συνήγαγεν σηων πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐξῆλθεν παρατάξασθαι τῷ ισραηλ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον καὶ ἦλθεν εἰς ιασσα καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ ισραηλ

24 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν ισραηλ φόνῳ μαχαίρης καὶ κατεκυρίευσαν τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ αρνων ἕως ιαβοκ ἕως υἱῶν αμμαν ὅτι ιαζηρ ὅρια υἱῶν αμμων ἐστίν

25 καὶ ἔλαβεν ισραηλ πάσας τὰς πόλεις ταύτας καὶ κατῴκησεν ισραηλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν τῶν αμορραίων ἐν εσεβων καὶ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς συγκυρούσαις αὐτῇ

26 ἔστιν γὰρ εσεβων πόλις σηων τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν αμορραίων καὶ οὗτος ἐπολέμησεν βασιλέα μωαβ τὸ πρότερον καὶ ἔλαβον πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ αροηρ ἕως αρνων

27 διὰ τοῦτο ἐροῦσιν οἱ αἰνιγματισταί ἔλθετε εἰς εσεβων ἵνα οἰκοδομηθῇ καὶ κατασκευασθῇ πόλις σηων

28 ὅτι πῦρ ἐξῆλθεν ἐξ εσεβων φλὸξ ἐκ πόλεως σηων καὶ κατέφαγεν ἕως μωαβ καὶ κατέπιεν στήλας αρνων

29 οὐαί σοι μωαβ ἀπώλου λαὸς χαμως ἀπεδόθησαν οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτῶν διασῴζεσθαι καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες αὐτῶν αἰχμάλωτοι τῷ βασιλεῖ τῶν αμορραίων σηων

30 καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται εσεβων ἕως δαιβων καὶ αἱ γυναῖκες ἔτι προσεξέκαυσαν πῦρ ἐπὶ μωαβ

31 κατῴκησεν δὲ ισραηλ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς πόλεσιν τῶν αμορραίων

32 καὶ ἀπέστειλεν μωυσῆς κατασκέψασθαι τὴν ιαζηρ καὶ κατελάβοντο αὐτὴν καὶ τὰς κώμας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐξέβαλον τὸν αμορραῖον τὸν κατοικοῦντα ἐκεῖ

33 καὶ ἐπιστρέψαντες ἀνέβησαν ὁδὸν τὴν εἰς βασαν καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ωγ βασιλεὺς τῆς βασαν εἰς συνάντησιν αὐτοῖς καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ εἰς πόλεμον εἰς εδραϊν

34 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρὸς μωυσῆν μὴ φοβηθῇς αὐτόν ὅτι εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου παραδέδωκα αὐτὸν καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ καθὼς ἐποίησας τῷ σηων βασιλεῖ τῶν αμορραίων ὃς κατῴκει ἐν εσεβων

35 καὶ ἐπάταξεν αὐτὸν καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντα τὸν λαὸν αὐτοῦ ἕως τοῦ μὴ καταλιπεῖν αὐτοῦ ζωγρείαν καὶ ἐκληρονόμησαν τὴν γῆν αὐτῶν

10. John, to the seven churches. (1:4) This symbolically means, to all who are in the Christian world where the Word exists and where through it the Lord is known, and who turn to the church.

The seven churches mean, not seven churches, but all who are constituents of the church in the Christian world. For numbers in the Word symbolize properties, and seven symbolizes all things or all people, and so also fullness and completeness, and it occurs in the Word where the subject is something holy, and in an opposite sense, something profane. Consequently this number involves holiness, and in an opposite sense, profanation.

Numbers symbolize properties, or rather they serve as a class of adjectives to substantives, assigning some attribute to their subjects, because a number in itself is a natural quantity. For natural things are measured by numbers, but spiritual things by properties and their states. Therefore someone who does not know the symbolism of numbers in the Word, and particularly in the book of Revelation, cannot know the many secrets that it contains.

Now, because seven symbolizes all things or all people, it is apparent that the seven churches mean all people in the Christian world where the Word exists and where through it the Lord is known. If these live according to the Lord's commandments in the Word, they form the real church.

[2] It is because of this that the Sabbath was instituted on the seventh day, and that the seventh year was called a sabbatical year, and the forty-ninth year the year of Jubilee, which symbolized everything holy in the church.

It is because of this, too, that a week in Daniel and elsewhere symbolizes an entire period from beginning to end and is predicated of the church.

Similar things are symbolized by seven hereafter, as for example, by the seven golden lampstands, in the midst of which was the Son of Man (Revelation 1:13); by the seven stars in His right hand (1:16, 20); by the seven spirits of God (1:4; 4:5); by the seven lamps of fire (4:5); by the seven angels to whom were given seven trumpets (8:2); by the seven angels having the seven last plagues (15:5-6); by the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues (16:1; 21:9); by the seven seals with which the book was sealed (5:1).

Likewise in the following places: That their hands should be filled for seven days (Exodus 29:35). That they should be sanctified for seven days (Exodus 29:37). That when they were inaugurated they should go in seven days, clothed in holy garments (Exodus 29:30). That for seven days they should not go out of the Tabernacle while being initiated into the priesthood (Leviticus 8:33, 35). That atonement should be made for the altar seven times on its horns (Leviticus 16:18-19), and also seven times toward the east (Leviticus 16:12-15). That the water of separation should be sprinkled seven times toward the Tabernacle (Numbers 19:4). That Passover should be celebrated for seven days and unleavened bread eaten for seven days (Exodus 12:1ff., Deuteronomy 16:4-7).

So, too, that the Jews should be punished sevenfold for their sins (Leviticus 26:18, 21, 24, 28), on which account David says, "Requite our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom" (Psalms 79:12). "Sevenfold" means fully.

[3] Also in these places:

The words of Jehovah are pure words, silver... in a furnace... purified seven times. (Psalms 12:6)

The hungry have ceased, until the barren has borne seven, while she who has many children has become feeble. (1 Samuel 2:5)

"The barren" is the church of the gentiles, who did not have the Word. "She who has many children" is the church of the Jews, who did have the Word. Similarly,

She will languish who has borne seven; she will breath out her soul. (Jeremiah 15:9)

Those who dwell in the cities of Israel will... set on fire and burn the weapons...; and they will make fires with them for seven years... ...they will bury Gog, and... for seven months... will be cleansing the land. (Ezekiel 39:9, 11-12)

(The unclean spirit) will take seven other spirits more wicked than himself... (Matthew 12:45)

Profanation is described there, and the seven spirits with which he would return symbolize all falsities of evil, thus a complete extinguishing of goodness and truth.

The seven heads of the dragon, and the seven jewels 1 on its heads (Revelation 12:3), symbolize the profanation of all goodness and truth.

This makes apparent that "seven" involves holiness or profanation, and symbolizes completeness and fullness.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. The word translated as "jewels" here means diadems or crowns in the original Greek and Latin, but the writer's definitions of the term elsewhere make plain that he regularly and consistently interpreted it to mean jewels or gems.
