Studie

   

1 Estes, pois, são os reis da terra, aos quais os filhos de Israel feriram e cujas terras possuíram, do Jordão para o nascente do sol, desde o vale do Arnom até o monte Hermom, e toda a Arabá para o oriente:

2 Siom, rei dos amorreus, que habitava em Hesbom e que dominava desde Aroer, que está a borda do vale do Arnom, e desde o meio do vale, e a metade de Gileade, até o ribeiro Jaboque, termo dos amonitas;

3 e a Arabá até o mar de Quinerote para o oriente, e até o mar da Arabá, o mar Salgado, para o oriente, pelo caminho de Bete-Jesimote, e no sul abaixo das faldas de Pisga;

4 como também o termo de Ogue, rei de Basã, que era do restante dos refains, o qual habitava em Astarote, e em Edrei,

5 e dominava no monte Hermom, e em Salca, e em toda a Basã, até o termo dos gesureus e dos maacateus, e metade de Gileade, termo de siom, rei de Hesbom.

6 Moisés, servo do Senhor, e os filhos de Israel os feriram; e Moisés, servo do Senhor, deu essa terra em possessão aos rubenitas, e aos gaditas, e à meia tribo de Manassés:

7 E estes são os reis da terra, aos quais Josué e os filhos de Israel feriram, do Jordão para o ocidente, desde Baal-Gade, no vale do Líbano, até o monte Halaque, que sobe a Seir (e Josué deu as suas terras às tribos de Israel em possessão, segundo as suas divisoes,

8 isto é, o que havia na região montanhosa, na baixada, na Arabá, nas faldas das montanhas, no deserto e no Negebe: o heteu, o amorreu, e o cananeu, o perizeu, o heveu, e o jebuseu);

9 o rei de Jericó, o rei de Ai, que está ao lado de Betel,

10 o rei de Jerusalém, o rei de Hebrom,

11 o rei de Jarmute, o rei de Laquis,

12 o rei de Eglom, o rei de Gezer,

13 o rei de Debir, o rei de Geder,

14 o rei de Horma, o rei de Arade,

15 o rei de Libna, o rei de Adulão,

16 o rei de Maqueda, o rei de Betel,

17 o rei de Tapua, o rei de Hefer,

18 o rei de Afeque, o rei de Lassarom,

19 o rei de Madom, o rei de Hazor,

20 o rei de Sinrom-Merom, o rei de Acsafe,

21 o rei de Taanaque, o rei de Megido,

22 o rei de Quedes, o rei de Jocneão do Carmelo,

23 o rei de Dor no outeiro de Dor, o rei de Goiim em Gilgal,

Heth

  

The daughters of Heth, as mentioned in Genesis 27:46, signify the affections of truth from a ground that is not genuine. Here they are the affections of natural truth, because are referring to Jacob. The sons of Heth, as mentioned in Genesis 23:7, signify people who were of the new spiritual church.

3620. 'I loathe my life on account of the daughters of Heth' means a connection with natural truth from some other source. This is clear from the meaning of 'loathing one's life' as no connection, that is to say, of the truth of the natural with the truth of the rational - for when these two are not connected to each other it seems to the rational as though its own life were no life, as may be seen from what has been stated above in 3493; and from the meaning of 'the daughters of Heth' as affections for truth from a non-genuine source, in this case affections for natural truth, since Rebekah said this to Jacob who, as shown above, represents natural truth. For 'the daughters' means affections, see 2362, and 'Heth' or Hittite truth from a non-genuine source, 3470. From these meanings it is clear that 'I loathe my life on account of the daughters of Heth' means that there should not be any connection with the natural through truth which does not come from a genuine source, thus that no connection with natural truth from some other source should exist. The connection with natural truth is dealt with later on where Jacob's stay with Laban is the subject - that is to say, when truths from a common stem have been joined on to it. Since the truths which 'the daughters of Heth' represent did not come from that common stem no connection of them with natural truth was possible, because they were dissimilar and did not accord with it. Actually the spiritual Church among gentiles, 2913, 2956, is represented by 'the sons of Heth', but as the Word does not exist in that Church the Word is not the source of its truths.
