1 τη ιδουμαια ταδε λεγει κυριος ουκ εστιν ετι σοφια εν θαιμαν απωλετο βουλη εκ συνετων ωχετο σοφια αυτων

2 ηπατηθη ο τοπος αυτων βαθυνατε εις καθισιν οι κατοικουντες εν δαιδαν οτι δυσκολα εποιησεν ηγαγον επ' αυτον εν χρονω ω επεσκεψαμην επ' αυτον

3 οτι τρυγηται ηλθον σοι ου καταλειψουσιν σοι καταλειμματα ως κλεπται εν νυκτι επιθησουσιν χειρα αυτων

4 οτι εγω κατεσυρα τον ησαυ ανεκαλυψα τα κρυπτα αυτων κρυβηναι ου μη δυνωνται ωλοντο δια χειρα αδελφου αυτου και γειτονος αυτου και ουκ εστιν

5 υπολειπεσθαι ορφανον σου ινα ζησηται και εγω ζησομαι και χηραι επ' εμε πεποιθασιν

6 οτι ταδε ειπεν κυριος οις ουκ ην νομος πιειν το ποτηριον επιον και συ αθωωμενη ου μη αθωωθης οτι πινων πιεσαι

7 οτι κατ' εμαυτου ωμοσα λεγει κυριος οτι εις αβατον και εις ονειδισμον και εις καταρασιν εση εν μεσω αυτης και πασαι αι πολεις αυτης εσονται ερημοι εις αιωνα

8 ακοην ηκουσα παρα κυριου και αγγελους εις εθνη απεστειλεν συναχθητε και παραγενεσθε εις αυτην αναστητε εις πολεμον

9 μικρον εδωκα σε εν εθνεσιν ευκαταφρονητον εν ανθρωποις

10 η παιγνια σου ενεχειρησεν σοι ιταμια καρδιας σου κατελυσεν τρυμαλιας πετρων συνελαβεν ισχυν βουνου υψηλου οτι υψωσεν ωσπερ αετος νοσσιαν αυτου εκειθεν καθελω σε

11 και εσται η ιδουμαια εις αβατον πας ο παραπορευομενος επ' αυτην συριει

12 ωσπερ κατεστραφη σοδομα και γομορρα και αι παροικοι αυτης ειπεν κυριος παντοκρατωρ ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη ενοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου

13 ιδου ωσπερ λεων αναβησεται εκ μεσου του ιορδανου εις τοπον αιθαμ οτι ταχυ εκδιωξω αυτους απ' αυτης και τους νεανισκους επ' αυτην επιστησατε οτι τις ωσπερ εγω και τις αντιστησεται μοι και τις ουτος ποιμην ος στησεται κατα προσωπον μου

14 δια τουτο ακουσατε βουλην κυριου ην εβουλευσατο επι την ιδουμαιαν και λογισμον αυτου ον ελογισατο επι τους κατοικουντας θαιμαν εαν μη συμψησθωσιν τα ελαχιστα των προβατων εαν μη αβατωθη επ' αυτην καταλυσις αυτων

15 οτι απο φωνης πτωσεως αυτων εσεισθη η γη και κραυγη σου εν θαλασση ηκουσθη

16 ιδου ωσπερ αετος οψεται και εκτενει τας πτερυγας επ' οχυρωματα αυτης και εσται η καρδια των ισχυρων της ιδουμαιας εν τη ημερα εκεινη ως καρδια γυναικος ωδινουσης

17 τοις υιοις αμμων ουτως ειπεν κυριος μη υιοι ουκ εισιν εν ισραηλ η παραλημψομενος ουκ εστιν αυτοις δια τι παρελαβεν μελχομ τον γαδ και ο λαος αυτων εν πολεσιν αυτων ενοικησει

18 δια τουτο ιδου ημεραι ερχονται φησιν κυριος και ακουτιω επι ραββαθ θορυβον πολεμων και εσονται εις αβατον και εις απωλειαν και βωμοι αυτης εν πυρι κατακαυθησονται και παραλημψεται ισραηλ την αρχην αυτου

19 αλαλαξον εσεβων οτι ωλετο γαι κεκραξατε θυγατερες ραββαθ περιζωσασθε σακκους και επιλημπτευσασθε και κοψασθε επι μελχομ οτι εν αποικια βαδιειται οι ιερεις αυτου και οι αρχοντες αυτου αμα

20 τι αγαλλιαση εν τοις πεδιοις ενακιμ θυγατερ ιταμιας η πεποιθυια επι θησαυροις αυτης η λεγουσα τις εισελευσεται επ' εμε

21 ιδου εγω φερω φοβον επι σε ειπεν κυριος απο πασης της περιοικου σου και διασπαρησεσθε εκαστος εις προσωπον αυτου και ουκ εσται ο συναγων

23 τη κηδαρ βασιλισση της αυλης ην επαταξεν ναβουχοδονοσορ βασιλευς βαβυλωνος ουτως ειπεν κυριος αναστητε και αναβητε επι κηδαρ και πλησατε τους υιους κεδεμ

24 σκηνας αυτων και προβατα αυτων λημψονται ιματια αυτων και παντα τα σκευη αυτων και καμηλους αυτων λημψονται εαυτοις και καλεσατε επ' αυτους απωλειαν κυκλοθεν

25 φευγετε λιαν βαθυνατε εις καθισιν καθημενοι εν τη αυλη οτι εβουλευσατο εφ' υμας βασιλευς βαβυλωνος βουλην και ελογισατο εφ' υμας λογισμον

26 αναστηθι και αναβηθι επ' εθνος ευσταθουν καθημενον εις αναψυχην οις ουκ εισιν θυραι ου βαλανοι ου μοχλοι μονοι καταλυουσιν

27 και εσονται καμηλοι αυτων εις προνομην και πληθος κτηνων αυτων εις απωλειαν και λικμησω αυτους παντι πνευματι κεκαρμενους προ προσωπου αυτων εκ παντος περαν αυτων οισω την τροπην αυτων ειπεν κυριος

28 και εσται η αυλη διατριβη στρουθων και αβατος εως αιωνος ου μη καθιση εκει ανθρωπος και ου μη κατοικηση εκει υιος ανθρωπου

29 τη δαμασκω κατησχυνθη ημαθ και αρφαδ οτι ηκουσαν ακοην πονηραν εξεστησαν εθυμωθησαν αναπαυσασθαι ου μη δυνωνται

30 εξελυθη δαμασκος απεστραφη εις φυγην τρομος επελαβετο αυτης

31 πως ουχι εγκατελιπεν πολιν εμην κωμην ηγαπησαν

32 δια τουτο πεσουνται νεανισκοι εν πλατειαις σου και παντες οι ανδρες οι πολεμισται σου πεσουνται φησιν κυριος

33 και καυσω πυρ εν τειχει δαμασκου και καταφαγεται αμφοδα υιου αδερ

9496. 'And you shall make poles of shittim wood' means power derived from this. This is clear from the meaning of 'poles' as the power which truth from good possesses, dealt with below; and from the meaning of 'shittim wood' as the good of merit that is the Lord's alone, dealt with above in 9472, 9486. Here it must now be stated what it was that enabled the ark and the dwelling-place to represent heaven, and at the same time the rim of the ark to represent a border, the corners firmness, the rings the joining of good to truth, and the poles power. It has been shown that the whole natural system, thus every single thing existing in true order there, is representative of the Lord's kingdom, that is, of heaven and heavenly realities present there, 9280. It has also been shown that the whole of heaven resembles a human being, and that for this reason heaven has been called the Grand Man, 9276 (end). From this it now follows that all objects which serve to represent heavenly realities correlate with the human form, and that they carry spiritual meanings according to their similarity to that form.

[2] From this it is now evident how the ark can come to mean heaven where the Lord is, the rim on it to mean a border, the sides to mean good to which truth must be joined, the corners to mean firmness, the rings to mean the actual joining together, and the poles to mean power. For the poles resemble a person's arms and therefore also have a similar meaning to the arms; the rings resemble the ginglymi or sockets where the arms are linked to the breast; the corners resemble the actual protrusions where that link is made; the sides resemble the chest cavity or thorax, and the rim resembles the [shoulder-]girdle which forms a border for it. From this it becomes clear that power is meant by 'poles', as it is by 'arms' (for the meaning of 'arms' and 'hands' as power, see 878, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 6292, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7205, 7518, 7673, 8050, 8153, 8281, 9025, 9133); and that the same thing is meant by 'the sides' as by the chest or thorax of the body, namely good, since the chest contains the heart and lungs, and 'the heart' means celestial good and 'the lungs' spiritual good, 3883-3896, 9300. From all this it is evident that by 'rings' the same thing is meant as by ginglymi or joints which join the chest to the shoulders, and the shoulders to the arms, namely the joining of good to truth, and that firmness is meant by 'the corners', for the strength of the body is exerted there, and the body is equipped with strength and power through the arms. From all this one may recognize how it comes about that natural objects which are inanimate can represent the same realities as ones that are animate, that is, as parts of the human body. That is to say, it comes about because heaven resembles a human being, and the things present in heaven resemble those that exist in the human being, as may be seen from what has been shown at great length regarding the correspondence of the human being with the Grand Man or heaven. See the places referred to in 9276 (end).

[3] Just as the poles which were used to carry the ark meant power, so did the poles or bars which were used to secure the gates of cities, as is clear from the following places: In Hosea,

The sword falls on its cities, and consumes its bars. Hosea 11:6.

'The sword' stands for truth battling against falsity, 'cities' for matters of doctrine, and 'bars' for power. In Isaiah,

For your sake I have sent to Babel, and I will break down all the bars. Isaiah 43:14.

In Jeremiah,

The mighty ones of Babel are seated in strongholds; their power has been destroyed. 1 Its bars have been broken. Jeremiah 51:30.

In Amos,

I will break the bar of Damascus. Amos 1:5.

In Isaiah,

I will break in pieces the gates of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. Isaiah 45:2.

Similar words occur in David, Psalms 107:16. In Jeremiah,

It has no gates or bars; they dwell alone. Jeremiah 49:31.

In Ezekiel,

They all dwell without a wall; 2 they do not have bars and gates. Ezekiel 38:11.

In Jeremiah,

Her gates have sunk into the earth, He has destroyed and broken in pieces her bars. Lamentations 2:9.

In David,

Praise your God, O Zion! For He strengthens the bars of your gates. Psalms 147:12-13.

In these places matters of doctrine are meant by 'cities', 2449, 2712, 3216, 4492, 4493, firmness and protection by 'gates', and the power which belongs to truth derived from good by 'bars'. The fact that all power belongs to truth, but to truth that is derived from good, see 6344, 6423, 8200, 8304, 9133, 9327, 9410.
