1 και αγαπησεις κυριον τον θεον σου και φυλαξη τα φυλαγματα αυτου και τα δικαιωματα αυτου και τας κρισεις αυτου πασας τας ημερας

2 και γνωσεσθε σημερον οτι ουχι τα παιδια υμων οσοι ουκ οιδασιν ουδε ειδοσαν την παιδειαν κυριου του θεου σου και τα μεγαλεια αυτου και την χειρα την κραταιαν και τον βραχιονα τον υψηλον

3 και τα σημεια αυτου και τα τερατα αυτου οσα εποιησεν εν μεσω αιγυπτου φαραω βασιλει αιγυπτου και παση τη γη αυτου

4 και οσα εποιησεν την δυναμιν των αιγυπτιων τα αρματα αυτων και την ιππον αυτων ως επεκλυσεν το υδωρ της θαλασσης της ερυθρας επι προσωπου αυτων καταδιωκοντων αυτων εκ των οπισω υμων και απωλεσεν αυτους κυριος εως της σημερον ημερας

5 και οσα εποιησεν υμιν εν τη ερημω εως ηλθετε εις τον τοπον τουτον

6 και οσα εποιησεν τω δαθαν και αβιρων υιοις ελιαβ υιου ρουβην ους ανοιξασα η γη το στομα αυτης κατεπιεν αυτους και τους οικους αυτων και τας σκηνας αυτων και πασαν αυτων την υποστασιν την μετ' αυτων εν μεσω παντος ισραηλ

7 οτι οι οφθαλμοι υμων εωρακαν παντα τα εργα κυριου τα μεγαλα οσα εποιησεν υμιν σημερον

8 και φυλαξεσθε πασας τας εντολας αυτου οσας εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ινα ζητε και πολυπλασιασθητε και εισελθοντες κληρονομησητε την γην εις ην υμεις διαβαινετε τον ιορδανην εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην

9 ινα μακροημερευσητε επι της γης ης ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν υμων δουναι αυτοις και τω σπερματι αυτων μετ' αυτους γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι

10 εστιν γαρ η γη εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην ουχ ωσπερ η γη αιγυπτου εστιν οθεν εκπεπορευσθε εκειθεν οταν σπειρωσιν τον σπορον και ποτιζωσιν τοις ποσιν ωσει κηπον λαχανειας

11 η δε γη εις ην εισπορευη εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην γη ορεινη και πεδινη εκ του υετου του ουρανου πιεται υδωρ

12 γη ην κυριος ο θεος σου επισκοπειται αυτην δια παντος οι οφθαλμοι κυριου του θεου σου επ' αυτης απ' αρχης του ενιαυτου και εως συντελειας του ενιαυτου

13 εαν δε ακοη εισακουσητε πασας τας εντολας αυτου οσας εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον αγαπαν κυριον τον θεον σου και λατρευειν αυτω εξ ολης της καρδιας σου και εξ ολης της ψυχης σου

14 και δωσει τον υετον τη γη σου καθ' ωραν προιμον και οψιμον και εισοισεις τον σιτον σου και τον οινον σου και το ελαιον σου

15 και δωσει χορτασματα εν τοις αγροις σου τοις κτηνεσιν σου και φαγων και εμπλησθεις

16 προσεχε σεαυτω μη πλατυνθη η καρδια σου και παραβητε και λατρευσητε θεοις ετεροις και προσκυνησητε αυτοις

17 και θυμωθεις οργη κυριος εφ' υμιν και συσχη τον ουρανον και ουκ εσται υετος και η γη ου δωσει τον καρπον αυτης και απολεισθε εν ταχει απο της γης της αγαθης ης εδωκεν ο κυριος υμιν

18 και εμβαλειτε τα ρηματα ταυτα εις την καρδιαν υμων και εις την ψυχην υμων και αφαψετε αυτα εις σημειον επι της χειρος υμων και εσται ασαλευτον προ οφθαλμων υμων

19 και διδαξετε αυτα τα τεκνα υμων λαλειν αυτα καθημενους εν οικω και πορευομενους εν οδω και κοιταζομενους και διανισταμενους

20 και γραψετε αυτα επι τας φλιας των οικιων υμων και των πυλων υμων

21 ινα πολυημερευσητε και αι ημεραι των υιων υμων επι της γης ης ωμοσεν κυριος τοις πατρασιν υμων δουναι αυτοις καθως αι ημεραι του ουρανου επι της γης

22 και εσται εαν ακοη ακουσητε πασας τας εντολας ταυτας οσας εγω εντελλομαι σοι σημερον ποιειν αγαπαν κυριον τον θεον ημων και πορευεσθαι εν πασαις ταις οδοις αυτου και προσκολλασθαι αυτω

23 και εκβαλει κυριος παντα τα εθνη ταυτα απο προσωπου υμων και κληρονομησετε εθνη μεγαλα και ισχυροτερα μαλλον η υμεις

24 παντα τον τοπον ου εαν πατηση το ιχνος του ποδος υμων υμιν εσται απο της ερημου και αντιλιβανου και απο του ποταμου του μεγαλου ποταμου ευφρατου και εως της θαλασσης της επι δυσμων εσται τα ορια σου

25 ουκ αντιστησεται ουδεις κατα προσωπον υμων τον τρομον υμων και τον φοβον υμων επιθησει κυριος ο θεος υμων επι προσωπον πασης της γης εφ' ης εαν επιβητε επ' αυτης ον τροπον ελαλησεν κυριος προς υμας

26 ιδου εγω διδωμι ενωπιον υμων σημερον ευλογιαν και καταραν

27 την ευλογιαν εαν ακουσητε τας εντολας κυριου του θεου υμων ας εγω εντελλομαι υμιν σημερον

28 και τας καταρας εαν μη ακουσητε τας εντολας κυριου του θεου υμων οσας εγω εντελλομαι υμιν σημερον και πλανηθητε απο της οδου ης ενετειλαμην υμιν πορευθεντες λατρευειν θεοις ετεροις ους ουκ οιδατε

29 και εσται οταν εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην εις ην διαβαινεις εκει κληρονομησαι αυτην και δωσεις την ευλογιαν επ' ορος γαριζιν και την καταραν επ' ορος γαιβαλ

30 ουκ ιδου ταυτα περαν του ιορδανου οπισω οδον δυσμων ηλιου εν γη χανααν το κατοικουν επι δυσμων εχομενον του γολγολ πλησιον της δρυος της υψηλης

31 υμεις γαρ διαβαινετε τον ιορδανην εισελθοντες κληρονομησαι την γην ην κυριος ο θεος υμων διδωσιν υμιν εν κληρω πασας τας ημερας και κληρονομησετε αυτην και κατοικησετε εν αυτη

32 και φυλαξεσθε του ποιειν παντα τα προσταγματα αυτου και τας κρισεις ταυτας οσας εγω διδωμι ενωπιον υμων σημερον

7847. 'And put it onto the two doorposts and onto the lintel' means the truths and forms of good of the natural. This is clear from the meaning of 'the doorposts' as the truths of the natural; and from the meaning of 'the lintel' as the forms of good belonging to it. The reason why the doorposts and lintel have this meaning is that 'the house' means the actual person or his mind, and parts forming the door mean the things that serve to lead into it. These, it may be evident, are the truths and forms of good of the natural; for the natural man receives instruction first, before the rational man, and the ideas he learns during that time are natural ones, into which spiritual ideas, which are more internal, are gradually instilled. From this one may see in what way the truths and forms of good of the natural serve to lead in. Furthermore lintel and doorposts are similar in meaning to a person's frontlets and hands; for it is in the nature of angelic ideas to associate natural objects with human characteristics. The reason for this is that the spiritual world or heaven is in form like a person, and therefore all things in that world - that is, all spiritual realities, which are truths and forms of good - have connection with that form, as has been shown where correspondences are the subject, at the ends of quite a number of chapters. And since in angelic ideas natural objects become spiritual realities a house does so too. To them it is a person's mind; the bedrooms and other rooms are the inner parts of the mind, and the windows, doors, doorposts, and lintels are the outer parts leading in. Since angelic ideas are like this they are also filled with life; and that being so, things which in the natural world are lifeless objects become objects filled with life when they pass into the spiritual world. For everything spiritual is filled with life since it comes from the Lord.

[2] The fact that 'doorposts and lintel' is similar in meaning to a person's 'frontlets and hands' may be seen from the following words in Moses,

You shall love Jehovah your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength. You are to bind them as a sign onto your hand, and let them be as frontlets between your eyes. And you are to write them onto the doorposts of your house, and on your gates. Deuteronomy 6:5, 8-9; 11:13, 18, 20.

Since they hold a similar meaning to each other both observances have been stated here.

[3] As regards the meaning of 'lintel and doorposts' in the spiritual sense as the forms of good and the truths of the natural which lead into spiritual things, this is clear from the description in Ezekiel of the new temple, which means the spiritual Church. There reference is made many times to doorposts and lintels, objects which were also measured. This would never have been done unless those details had also meant something descriptive of the Church or of heaven, that is, something spiritual, such as the following details in that prophet,

The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering, and put it onto the doorpost of the house, and onto the four corners of the ledge of the altar, and onto the post of the gate of the inner court, on the first day of the month. Ezekiel 45:19.

[4] In the same prophet,

The prince shall enter by the way of the portico outside, and stand by the gate post; and the priests shall make his burnt offering. At that time he shall worship on the threshold of the gate. Ezekiel 46:2.

Anyone may recognize that 'the temple' here is not used to mean the temple but the Lord's Church, for the kinds of things described here in a number of chapters have never come about, and never will. In the highest sense 'the temple' is used to mean the Lord's Divine Human. He Himself teaches this meaning in John 2:19, 21-22; and in the representative sense 'the temple is therefore used to mean His Church. For statements that the angel measured the lintels of this new temple, see Ezekiel 40:9-10, 14, 16, 24; 41:21, 25. This measuring of them would have had no importance unless 'the lintels', and also the numbers involved, had meant some aspect of the Church. Because 'the doorposts and lintel' meant the truths and forms of good in the natural, which serve to lead in, the ones in this new temple were square, Ezekiel 41:21. For the same reason the doorposts in Solomon's temple were made of planks of olive wood, 1 Kings 6:31, 33. 'Olive wood' meant the good of truth or the good which is that of the spiritual Church.
