Второзаконие 26

Studie

   

1 Когда ты придешь въ землю, которую Господь, Богъ твой, даетъ тебј въ удјлъ, и получишь ее въ наслјдіе и поселишься на ней:

2 то возьми начатковъ всјхъ плодовъ земли, которые ты получишь отъ земли твоей, которую Господь, Богъ твой, даетъ тебј, и положи въ корзину, и поди на то мјсто, которое Господь, Богъ твой, изберетъ, чтобъ обитало тамъ имя Его.

3 И приди къ священнику, который будетъ въ тј дни, и скажи ему: сегодня я изъявляю Господу, Богу твоему, что я вошелъ въ ту землю, которую Господь клялся отцамъ нашимъ дать намъ.

4 Священникъ возъметъ корзину изъ руки твоей, и поставитъ ее предъ жертвевникомъ Господа, Бога твоего;

5 ты же при семъ скажи предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ: "отецъ мой былъ блуждающій Арамеанинъ, и пошелъ въ Египетъ и переселился туда съ немногими людьми, и произошелъ тамъ отъ него народъ великій, сильный и многочисленный;

6 но Египтяне стали худо поступать съ нами, и притјснять насъ, и налагать на насъ тяжкія работы;

7 тогда мы возопили ко Господу, Богу отцевъ нашихъ, и услышалъ Господь вопль нашъ, и увидјлъ бјдствіе наше, труды наши и угнјтеніе.

8 И вывелъ насъ Господь изъ Египта рукою сильною и мышцею простертою, посредствомъ великаго ужаса, знаменій и чудесъ,

9 и привелъ насъ на мјсто сіе, и далъ намъ землю сію, землю, гдј течетъ молоко и медъ.

10 И нынј се, приношу начатки плодовъ отъ земли, которую Ты, Господи, далъ мнј!" И поставь ее предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ, и поклонись предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ,

11 и веселись о всјхъ благахъ, которыя Господь, Богъ твой, далъ тебј и дому твоему, ты и левитъ и пришлецъ, который будеть у тебя.

12 Когда ты отдјлишь всј десятины произведеній земли твоей въ третій годъ, годъ десятинъ, и отдашь левиту, пришельцу, сиротј и вдовј, чтобъ они јли въ жилищахъ твоихъ и насытилисъ;

13 тогда скажи предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ: я отобралъ отъ дома святыню, и отдалъ ее левиту, пришельцу, сиротј и вдовј, по всјмъ заповјдямъ Твоимъ, которыя Ты заповјдалъ мнј; я не преступилъ заповјдей Твоихъ и не забылъ.

14 Я не јлъ ея въ горести моей, и не тратилъ ея на нечистое, и не давалъ изъ ней на мертваго; но я повиновался гласу Господа, Бога моего, исполнилъ все, что Ты мнј заповјдалъ.

15 Воззри изъ святаго жилища Твоего, съ небесъ, и благослови народъ Твой, Израиля, и землю, которую Ты далъ намъ, такъ какъ Ты клялся отцамъ нашимъ, землю, гдј течетъ молоко и медъ.

16 Въ день сей Господь, Богъ твой, завјщеваетъ тебј исполнять постановленія сіи и законы: соблюдай и исполняй ихъ отъ всего сердца твоего и отъ всей души твоей.

17 Господу сказалъ ты нынј, что Онъ будетъ твоимъ Богомъ, и что ты будешь ходить путями Его и хранить постановленія Его и заповјди Его и законы Его, и слушать гласа Его.

18 И Господь сказалъ тебј нынј, что ты будешь собственнымъ Его народомъ, какъ Онъ говорилъ тебј, и чтобы ты хранилъ всј заповјди Его,

19 и что Онъ поставитъ тебя выше всјхъ народовъ, которые Онъ сотворилъ, въ чести, славј и красотј, и что ты будешь святымъ народомъ у Господа, Бога твоего, какъ Онъ говорилъ.

1846. 'And these will afflict them' means their grievous temptations. This becomes clear from the meaning of 'afflicting' or affliction as persecution and therefore as temptation. In the Word of the Lord nothing else is meant by 'affliction', as in Isaiah,

I will refine you, but not with silver; I will single you out in the furnace of affliction. Isaiah 48:10.

'Affliction' stands for temptation.

In Moses,

You shall remember all the way in which Jehovah your God has led you these forty years in the wilderness to afflict you and to tempt you. Jehovah fed you with manna in the wilderness, which your fathers did not know, to afflict you and to tempt you, to do good to you in [your] latter end. Deuteronomy 8:2, 16.

'To afflict' plainly means to tempt.

[2] In the same author,

And the Egyptians ill-treated us and afflicted us, and imposed hard service upon us, and we cried out to Jehovah the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression. Deuteronomy 26:6-7.

Here the same things are mentioned as in the present verse, that they served as slaves and were afflicted, by which - as also by their afflictions in the wilderness, which in addition represented the Lord's temptations - the temptations of believers were meant.

[3] As in Isaiah,

He was despised, a man of sorrows, on account of which as it were men hid their faces from Him. He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows, yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. Isaiah 53:3-4.

These words mean the Lord's temptations. The words 'He has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows' are not used to mean that believers will not undergo any temptation, nor that He transferred their sins on to Himself and so bore them Himself. Rather, they mean that He who overcame the hells through the conflicts brought about by temptations and through victories would in the same manner - all by Himself, even as to His Human Essence - endure the temptations experienced by believers.

[4] The Lord too calls temptations afflictions: in Mark,

These are the ones sown upon rocky ground. When they have heard the word they have no root in themselves but endure for a while. Then, when affliction and persecution arise because of the word they immediately stumble. Mark 4:16-17.

'Affliction' clearly stands for temptation. 'Having no root in themselves' is having no charity, for it is in charity that faith is rooted, and those who are not endowed with that root give way in temptations. In John,

In the world you have affliction; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33.

'Affliction' stands for temptation.

[5] In Matthew,

Nation will be roused against nation and kingdom against kingdom. All these are the start of sorrows. At that time they will deliver you up to affliction. There will be great affliction then such as has not been from the beginning of the world. Immediately after the affliction of those days the sun will be darkened. Matthew 24:7-9, 21, 29.

This refers to the close of the age, or last times of a Church. 'Affliction' stands for temptations, external and internal, external temptations being persecutions by the world, internal by the devil. The non-existence of charity is meant by 'nation against nation' and 'kingdom against kingdom', and by 'the sun' - that is, the Lord, love and charity - being 'darkened'.
