1 καὶ ἰδὼν βαλααμ ὅτι καλόν ἐστιν ἔναντι κυρίου εὐλογεῖν τὸν ισραηλ οὐκ ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς εἰς συνάντησιν τοῖς οἰωνοῖς καὶ ἀπέστρεψεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ἔρημον

2 καὶ ἐξάρας βαλααμ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ καθορᾷ τὸν ισραηλ ἐστρατοπεδευκότα κατὰ φυλάς καὶ ἐγένετο πνεῦμα θεοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ

3 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν φησὶν βαλααμ υἱὸς βεωρ φησὶν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀληθινῶς ὁρῶν

4 φησὶν ἀκούων λόγια θεοῦ ὅστις ὅρασιν θεοῦ εἶδεν ἐν ὕπνῳ ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ

5 ὡς καλοί σου οἱ οἶκοι ιακωβ αἱ σκηναί σου ισραηλ

6 ὡσεὶ νάπαι σκιάζουσαι καὶ ὡσεὶ παράδεισοι ἐπὶ ποταμῶν καὶ ὡσεὶ σκηναί ἃς ἔπηξεν κύριος ὡσεὶ κέδροι παρ' ὕδατα

7 ἐξελεύσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτοῦ καὶ κυριεύσει ἐθνῶν πολλῶν καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ἢ γωγ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ καὶ αὐξηθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία αὐτοῦ

8 θεὸς ὡδήγησεν αὐτὸν ἐξ αἰγύπτου ὡς δόξα μονοκέρωτος αὐτῷ ἔδεται ἔθνη ἐχθρῶν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰ πάχη αὐτῶν ἐκμυελιεῖ καὶ ταῖς βολίσιν αὐτοῦ κατατοξεύσει ἐχθρόν

9 κατακλιθεὶς ἀνεπαύσατο ὡς λέων καὶ ὡς σκύμνος τίς ἀναστήσει αὐτόν οἱ εὐλογοῦντές σε εὐλόγηνται καὶ οἱ καταρώμενοί σε κεκατήρανται

10 καὶ ἐθυμώθη βαλακ ἐπὶ βαλααμ καὶ συνεκρότησεν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν βαλακ πρὸς βαλααμ καταρᾶσθαι τὸν ἐχθρόν μου κέκληκά σε καὶ ἰδοὺ εὐλογῶν εὐλόγησας τρίτον τοῦτο

11 νῦν οὖν φεῦγε εἰς τὸν τόπον σου εἶπα τιμήσω σε καὶ νῦν ἐστέρησέν σε κύριος τῆς δόξης

12 καὶ εἶπεν βαλααμ πρὸς βαλακ οὐχὶ καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις σου οὓς ἀπέστειλας πρός με ἐλάλησα λέγων

13 ἐάν μοι δῷ βαλακ πλήρη τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ ἀργυρίου καὶ χρυσίου οὐ δυνήσομαι παραβῆναι τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου ποιῆσαι αὐτὸ πονηρὸν ἢ καλὸν παρ' ἐμαυτοῦ ὅσα ἐὰν εἴπῃ ὁ θεός ταῦτα ἐρῶ

14 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἀποτρέχω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου δεῦρο συμβουλεύσω σοι τί ποιήσει ὁ λαὸς οὗτος τὸν λαόν σου ἐπ' ἐσχάτου τῶν ἡμερῶν

15 καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν φησὶν βαλααμ υἱὸς βεωρ φησὶν ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὁ ἀληθινῶς ὁρῶν

16 ἀκούων λόγια θεοῦ ἐπιστάμενος ἐπιστήμην παρὰ ὑψίστου καὶ ὅρασιν θεοῦ ἰδὼν ἐν ὕπνῳ ἀποκεκαλυμμένοι οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ αὐτοῦ

17 δείξω αὐτῷ καὶ οὐχὶ νῦν μακαρίζω καὶ οὐκ ἐγγίζει ἀνατελεῖ ἄστρον ἐξ ιακωβ καὶ ἀναστήσεται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ισραηλ καὶ θραύσει τοὺς ἀρχηγοὺς μωαβ καὶ προνομεύσει πάντας υἱοὺς σηθ

18 καὶ ἔσται εδωμ κληρονομία καὶ ἔσται κληρονομία ησαυ ὁ ἐχθρὸς αὐτοῦ καὶ ισραηλ ἐποίησεν ἐν ἰσχύι

19 καὶ ἐξεγερθήσεται ἐξ ιακωβ καὶ ἀπολεῖ σῳζόμενον ἐκ πόλεως

20 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν αμαληκ καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ἀρχὴ ἐθνῶν αμαληκ καὶ τὸ σπέρμα αὐτῶν ἀπολεῖται

21 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν καιναῖον καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ἰσχυρὰ ἡ κατοικία σου καὶ ἐὰν θῇς ἐν πέτρᾳ τὴν νοσσιάν σου

22 καὶ ἐὰν γένηται τῷ βεωρ νεοσσιὰ πανουργίας ἀσσύριοί σε αἰχμαλωτεύσουσιν

23 καὶ ἰδὼν τὸν ωγ καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν παραβολὴν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν ὦ ὦ τίς ζήσεται ὅταν θῇ ταῦτα ὁ θεός

24 καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἐκ χειρὸς κιτιαίων καὶ κακώσουσιν ασσουρ καὶ κακώσουσιν εβραίους καὶ αὐτοὶ ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἀπολοῦνται

25 καὶ ἀναστὰς βαλααμ ἀπῆλθεν ἀποστραφεὶς εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτοῦ καὶ βαλακ ἀπῆλθεν πρὸς ἑαυτόν

9494. 'And put them on [its] four corners' means firmness. This is clear from the meaning of 'corners' as strength and firmness, the reason why this is meant by 'corners' being that the greatest resistance [to pressure] resides there, and also the whole is bonded together there. Because 'corner' means strength and firmness such as Divine Truth derived from Divine Good possesses, the Lord is called 'the corner-stone': In David,

The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. Psalms 118:22; Matthew 21:42.

And in Zechariah,

From Judah will be the corner-stone, from him the tent-peg, and from him the battle-bow. Zechariah 10:4.

Also in Isaiah,

The Lord Jehovih will lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, a tested stone, a precious corner-stone, surely founded. Isaiah 28:16.

In these places 'corner' in like manner stands for the firmness of teachings which consist of truth that is derived from good.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Nor are they to take from you a stone for a corner, or a stone for foundations. Jeremiah 51:26.

Because firmness is meant by 'corners' horns were placed on the four corners of the altar, regarding which the following is stated in Moses,

You shall make the horns of the altar on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. 1 Exodus 27:2.

'The horns' are the power of truth derived from good, thus its strength and firmness, see 2832, 9081.

[3] 'The corners' again means strength and power in Jeremiah,

Fire has gone out of Heshbon, which has devoured the corners of Moab. Jeremiah 48:45.

And in Moses,

A star will arise out of Jacob, and a sceptre rise up out of Israel, which will crush the corners of Moab. Numbers 24:17.

'Moab', whose power was going to be destroyed, stands for those who adulterate the Church's forms of good, 2468, their 'corners' standing for the power of falsity that results from the adulterated forms of good. Since power and strength are meant by 'the corners' those who lack the power of truth derived from good are called the cut off of the corner, 2 Jeremiah 9:26; 25:23. What the meaning is when 'corners' refers to the four quarters or winds, see below in 9642.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, shall be from (or out of) it

2. This expression is generally thought to mean men whose hair is cut in a particular way. Another understanding of it is those in a remote corner of the desert or on the edge of civilization.
