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

3424. 'Isaac's servants dug in the valley and found there a well of living water' means the Word as regards the literal sense, which holds the internal sense within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'digging in the valley' as investigating lower down to discover where truths are, for 'digging' is investigating, and 'a valley' is that which is lower down, 1723, 3417; and from the meaning of 'a well of living water' as the Word in which Divine truths are present, thus the Word as regards the literal sense which holds the internal sense within it. It is well known that the Word is called 'a spring', in particular 'a spring of living waters'. The reason why the Word is also called 'a well' is that in relation to its other senses the sense of the letter is like a well, and that where spiritual people are concerned the Word is not a spring but a well, see 2702, 3096. Since a valley is that which is lower down, or what amounts to the same, that which is more external, and it was in the valley that the spring was found; and since the literal sense is the lower or more external sense of the Word, it is the literal sense that is therefore meant. But because that sense holds the internal sense, that is, the heavenly and Divine sense, its waters are for that reason called 'living', as also were the waters which went out under the threshold of the new house in Ezekiel,

And it will happen, that every wild creature that creeps, wherever the river comes to, is living; and there will be very many fish, for those waters go there, and become fresh; and everything is living where the river goes. Ezekiel 47:8-9.

Here 'the river' is the Word, 'the waters which cause everything to live' are the Divine Truths within it, 'fish' are facts, 40, 991.

[2] The Lord teaches that the Word of the Lord is such that it gives life to him who is thirsty, that is, to one who desires life, and that it is a spring whose waters are living, in John,

Jesus said to the woman from Samaria at Jacob's well, If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, Give Me a drink, you would ask from Him, and He would give you living water. He who drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst, but the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up into eternal life. John 4:10, 14.

The reason why the Word is living and therefore confers life is that in its highest sense the subject is the Lord, while in the inmost sense it is His kingdom in which the Lord is everything. And this being so it is life itself which the Word contains and which flows into the minds of those who read the Word devoutly. This is why the Lord, in regard to the Word which comes from Himself, calls Himself 'a spring of water welling up into eternal life'; see also 2702.

[3] The fact that the Word of the Lord is called 'a well' in addition to 'a spring' is clear in Moses,

Israel sang the song: Spring up, O well! Answer to it! The well which the princes dug, which the chiefs of the people dug out, as directed by the Lawgiver, 1 with their staves. Numbers 21:17-18.

These words were sung at the place Beer, that is, the place of the well. In this case 'a well' means the Word which existed with the Ancient Church, as is evident from what has been said previously about the Word in 2897. 'The princes' means the first and foremost truths of which [the Word] consists - 'princes' being first and foremost truths, see 1482, 2089 - 'nobles of the people' lower truths such as those present in the literal sense, 1259, 1260, 2928, 3295. 'The Lawgiver' is clearly the Lord, 'staves' the powers which those truths possessed.
