Второзаконие 2

Studie

   

1 Потомъ мы обратились и отправились въ пустыню къ Чермному морю, какъ говорилъ мнј Господь, и много времени ходили вокругъ горы Сеира.

2 И сказалъ мнј Господь:

3 полно вамъ ходить вокругъ этой горы, обратитесь къ сјверу.

4 И народу дай повелјніе, и скажи: вы будете проходить предјлы братій вашихъ, сыновъ Исавовыхъ, живущихъ на Сеирј, и они убоятся васъ, но остерегайтесь

5 всячески начинать съ ними войну; ибо Я не дамъ вамъ земли ихъ ни на стопу ноги, потому что гору Сеиръ Я далъ въ наслјдіе Исаву.

6 Хлјбъ для прокормленія покупайте у нихъ за сребро, и воду для питья покупайте у нихъ за сребро:

7 ибо Господь, Богъ твой, благословилъ тебя во всякомъ дјлј рукъ твоихъ, покровительствовалъ тебј во время шествія твоего по великой пустынј сей; вотъ, сорокъ лјтъ Господь, Богъ твой, съ тобою, ты ни въ чемъ не терпјлъ недостатка.

8 И шли мы мимо братій нашихъ, сыновъ Исавовыхъ; живущихъ на Сеирј, путемъ равнины, отъ Елаѕа и Еціонъ-Гавера, и обратились и шли къ пустынј Моава.

9 Тогда Господь сказалъ мнј: не вступай во вражду съ Моавомъ и не начинай съ ними войны; ибо Я не дамъ тебј земли его въ наслјдіе, потому что Аръ отдалъ Я въ наслјдіе сынамъ Лотовымъ.

10 (Прежде жили тамъ Емимы, народъ великій, многочисленный и высокій, какъ сыны Енаковы;

11 и они считались между Рефаимами, какъ сыны Енаковы; Моавитяне же называютъ ихъ Емимами.

12 А на Сеирј жили прежде Хорреи; но сыны Исавовы прогнали ихъ и истребили ихъ отъ лица своего, и поселились на мјстј ихъ, такъ, какъ поступилъ Израиль съ землею наслјдія своего, которую далъ имъ Господь).

13 Итакъ встаньте и пройдите долину Заредъ. И прошли мы долииу Заредъ.

14 Съ тјхъ поръ, какъ мы пошли изъ Кадесъ-Варни, до тјхъ поръ, какъ мы прошли долину Заредъ, прошло тридцать восемь лјтъ, какъ наконецъ перевелся изъ среды стана весь родъ ходящихъ на войну, какъ Господь клялся имъ.

15 Да и рука Господня была на нихъ, чтобы истреблять ихъ изъ среды стана, пока не перевелись.

16 Когда же перевелись всј ходящіе на войну и перемерли изъ среды народа,

17 тогда говорилъ мнј Господь, и сказалъ:

18 ты проходишь нынј мимо предјловъ Моава, мимо Ара,

19 и приблизился къ сынамъ Аммоновымъ; не вступай съ ними во вражду и не начинай съ ними войны; ибо Я не дамъ тебј земли сыновъ Аммоновыхъ въ наслјдіе, потому что Я отдалъ ее въ наслјдіе сынамъ Лотовымъ.

20 (И она считается землею Рефаимовъ, прежде жили на ней Рефаимы, Амионитяне же называютъ ихъ Замзуммимами.

21 Народъ великій, многочисленный и высокій, какъ сыны Енаковы, и истребилъ ихъ Господь предъ лицемъ ихъ, и изгнали они ихъ, и поселились на мјстј ихъ,

22 такъ, какъ Онъ сдјлалъ для сыновъ Исавовыхх, живущихъ на Сеирј, истребивъ предъ лицемъ ихъ Хорреевъ, и они изгнали ихъ, и поселились на мјстј ихъ и живутъ до сего дня;

23 и такъ, какъ Аввеевъ, жившихъ въ селеніяхъ до самой Газы, Кафторяне, пришедшіе изъ Кафтора, истребили и поселились на мјстј ихъ.)

24 Встаньте, отправьтесь и перейдите потокъ Арнонъ; вотъ, Я предаю въ руку твою Сигона, царя Есевонскаго, Аморреянина, и землю его, начинай брать наслјдіе и веди съ нимъ войну.

25 Съ сего дня я начну распространять страхъ твой и ужасъ твой на народы подъ всјмъ небомъ; тј, которые услышатъ о тебј, вострепещутъ и ужаснутся тебя.

26 И послалъ я пословъ изъ пустыни Кедемоѕъ къ Сигону, царю Есевонскому, съ словами мирными, чтобъ сказать:

27 позволь пройдти мнј землею твоею, я пойду дорогою, не сойду ни на право ни на лјво;

28 хлјбъ для прокормленія продавай мнј за сребро, и воду для питья давай мнј за сребро, только ногами моими пройду:

29 такъ, какъ сдјлали мнј сыны Исава, живущіе на Сеирј, и Моавитяие, живущіе въ Арј, пока не перейду чрезъ Іорданъ въ землю, которую Господь, Богъ нашъ, даетъ намъ.

30 Но Сигонъ, царь Есевонскій, не согласился позволить пройдти намъ черезъ свою землю, потому что Господь, Богъ твой, ожесточилъ духъ его, и сердце его сдјлалъ упорнымъ, чтобы предать его въ руку твою, какъ это видно нынј.

31 Тогда сказалъ мнј Господь: се, Я начинаю предавать тебј Сигона и землю его; начинай брать наслјдіе, взявъ въ наслјдіе землю его.

32 Сигонъ со всјмъ народомъ своимъ выступилъ противъ насъ на сраженіе къ Іаацј.

33 И предалъ его предъ нами Господь, Богъ нашъ, и мы поразили его и сыновъ его и весь народъ его;

34 и взяли въ то время всј города его, и предали заклятію всј города, мужчинъ и женщинъ и дјтей, не оставили никого въ живыхъ.

35 Только взяли мы себј въ добычу скотъ ихъ и захваченное во взятыхъ нами городахъ.

36 Отъ Ароира, который на берегу потока Арнона, и отъ города, который на долинј до Галаада, не было города, который бы неприступенъ былъ для насъ: все предалъ предъ нами Господь, Богъ нашъ.

37 Только къ землј сыновъ Аммоновыхъ ты не подходилъ, ни къ мјстамъ близъ потока Іавока, ни къ городамъ, которые на горј, и ни къ чему такому, къ чему не повелјлъ Господь, Богъ нашъ.

1673. 'And they smote the Rephaim in Ashteroth Karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh Kiriathaim' means false persuasions or the hells of such persuasions which the Lord overcame. This is clear from the meaning of the Rephaim, the Zuzim, and the Emim, as those of a similar kind to the Nephilim mentioned in Genesis 6:4 - the Nephilim, as was shown more than adequately at that verse, meaning false persuasions or those people who because they were persuaded of their own superiority and pre-eminence regarded all things that were holy and true as worthless, and who plunged falsities into evil desires, see 581 - and from the following places quoted in that paragraph, Numbers 13:33; Deuteronomy 2:10; Isaiah 14:9; 26:14, 19; Psalms 88:10. Here it is the different kinds of false persuasions that are meant by these three, and also by 'the Horites in Mount Seir', for there are many kinds of false persuasions, each kind varying not only according to the falsities but also according to the evil desires to which those falsities are allied or into which they are plunged, or from which they stem and are produced. The nature of such false persuasions cannot possibly become clear to anyone who knows scarcely anything more about false persuasion or evil desire than that such things exist; but in the next life they are arranged quite distinctly and separately into their own genera and their own species.

[2] Among those who lived before the Flood, especially among those called the Nephilim, most dreadful false persuasions existed. The Nephilim were such that in the next life by their persuasions they deprive other spirits they encounter of their whole ability to think. As a result it seems to those spirits as though they are scarcely alive, let alone capable of thinking anything true. For in the next life, as has been shown, there is a communication of the thoughts of all; and therefore when persuasiveness such as this flows in, it inevitably kills so to speak all power to think that the others have. Such were the unspeakably horrible nations against whom the Lord fought in earliest childhood and whom He overcame. And unless the Lord by His Coming into the world had overcome them, nobody at all would be alive today on this planet, for everyone is governed by the Lord through spirits. Today those same people, on account of their delusions, are hemmed in all round by what looks like a misty rock, out of which they are constantly endeavouring to rise up, though to no avail - see 1265-1272, and in many places before that. They and their like are also the people meant by Isaiah,

The dead will not live, the Rephaim will not rise. To the end that You have visited and destroyed them, and wiped out all remembrance of them. Isaiah 26:14.

[3] And in David,

Will you work a wonder for the dead? Will the Rephaim rise up and confess You? Psalms 88:10.

'The dead' here is not used to mean the dead but the condemned. At the present day too, especially from the Christian world, there are people who in a similar way have persuasions, but not of so dreadful a nature as those possessed by people before the Flood. False persuasions which occupy both the will and the understanding parts of man's mind - as did the persuasions of those before the Flood, and of those meant by the Rephaim, Zuzim, and Emim - are of one kind. But false persuasions that occupy only the understanding part, having their origin in false assumptions confirmed within oneself, are of another kind. The latter kind are not so powerful as the former, nor so deadly, but they nevertheless cause much annoyance to the other spirits in the next life, partially taking away from them their capacity to think. Spirits such as these arouse in man outright confirmations of falsity, so that a person inevitably sees falsity as truth, and evil as good. It is their sphere which is of such a nature. As soon as any truth is called forth by angels those spirits smother and extinguish it.

[4] A person can discover whether such spirits govern him by merely considering whether he thinks the truths of the Word to be falsities and confirms himself in this so that he is not able to see otherwise. He can in that case be quite sure that such spirits reside with him and have dominion. It is similar with those who persuade themselves that all private gain is the common good, and who imagine that nothing contributes to the common good if it is not to their own private gain. Evil spirits residing with such a person supply so many confirmations that he does not see otherwise. Such people as regard all private gain as the common good, or who disguise it with the appearance of its being the common good, in the next life act in much the same way with regard to the common good there. That this is the nature of the influx of the spirits residing with man I have been given to know to the life from uninterrupted experience.
