1 И заповјдалъ Моисей и старјйшины Израилевы народу, говоря: исполняйте всј заповјди, которыя я заповјдаю вамъ сегодня.

2 И когда перейдете за Іорданъ, въ землю, которую Господь, Богъ твой, даетъ тебј; тогда поставь у себя большіе камни и обмажь ихъ известью;

3 и напиши на нихъ всј слова закона сего, когда ты перейдешь, чтобы вступить въ землю, которую Господь, Богъ твой, дастъ тебј, въ землю, гдј течетъ молоко и медъ, какъ говорилъ тебј Господь, Богъ отцевъ твоихъ.

4 Когда перейдете за Іорданъ, поставьте камни тј, какъ я повелјваю вамъ сегодня, на горј Гевалъ, и обмажьте ихъ известью.

5 И сооруди тамъ жертвенникъ Господу, Богу твоему, жертвенникъ изъ камней, не поднимай на нихъ желјза.

6 Изъ камней цјльныхъ сооруди жертвенникъ Господу, Богу твоему, и возноси на немъ всесожженія Господу, Богу твоему,

7 и приноси жертвы благодарственныя, и јшь тамъ, и веселись предъ Господомъ, Богомъ твоимъ.

8 И напиши на камняхъ всј слова закона сего очень явственно.

9 И говорилъ Моисей и священники - левиты, всему Израилю и сказали: внимай и слушай, Израиль: въ день сей ты содјлался народомъ Господа, Бога твоего.

10 Слушай гласа Господа, Бога твоего, и исполняй заповјди Его и постановленія Его, которыя я заповјдаю тебј сегодня.

11 И заповјдаль Моисей народу въ день тотъ, и сказалъ:

12 сіи должны статъ на горј Гаризимъ, чтобы благословлять народъ, когда перейдете за Іорданъ: Симеонъ, Левій, Іуда, Иссахаръ, Іосифъ и Веніаминъ.

13 А сіи должны стать на горј Гевалъ, чтобы произноситъ проклятіе: Рувимъ, Гадъ, Асиръ, Завулонъ, Данъ и Нефѕалимъ.

14 Левиты возгласятъ и скажутъ всјмъ Израильтянамъ возвышеннымъ голосомъ:

15 Проклятъ, кто сдјлаетъ изваянный или литой кумиръ, мерзость предъ Господомъ, произведеніе рукъ художника, и поставитъ въ мјстј тайномъ! И весь народъ будетъ отвјчать и скажетъ; аминь.

16 Проклятъ порицающій отца своего или матерь свою! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

17 Проклятъ передвигающій межу ближняго своего! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

18 Проклятъ, кто слјпаго сбиваетъ съ пути! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

19 Проклятъ, кто превратно судитъ дјло пришельца, сироты и вдовы! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

20 Проклятъ, кто лежитъ съ женою отца своего, поелику онъ открылъ край одежды отца своего! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

21 Проклятъ, кто ляжеть съ какимъ-либо скотомъ! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

22 Проклятъ, кто ляжетъ съ сестрою своею, съ дочерью отца своего, или дочеръю матери своей! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

23 Проклятъ, кто ляжетъ съ тещею своею! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

24 Проклятъ, кто тайно убиваетъ ближняго своего! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминъ.

25 Проклятъ, кто беретъ дары съ тјмъ, чтобъ убить душу, и пролитъ кровь неповинную! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

26 Проклятъ, кто не исполнитъ словъ закона сего, и не будетъ поступать по нимъ! И весь народъ скажетъ: аминь.

456. But the rest of mankind, who were not killed in these plagues. (9:20) This symbolizes people in the Protestant Reformed Church who were not as spiritually dead as the former were because of their illusory reasonings and love of self, a conceit in their own intelligence, and the attendant lusts, and yet who made faith alone the chief tenet of their religion.

The rest of mankind mean people who are not like those described, but who still make faith alone the chief tenet of their religion. Their not being killed symbolizes people not so spiritually dead. The plagues in which the former were killed mean a love of self, a conceit in their own intelligence, and the attendant lusts for evil and falsity, because these three are symbolized by fire, smoke and brimstone, as discussed above in nos. 452, 453. We will see below that plagues have this symbolism. But first we must say something about the people:

[2] I have been given to see these people, too, and to speak with them. They live in the northern zone over to the west. Some of them have huts there with roofs, others huts without roofs. Their beds are made of rushes, their clothes of goats' hair. Seen in the light that flows in from heaven, their faces have a leaden color and also lack vitality. The reason is that they know nothing more from their religion than that there is a God, that there are three persons, that Christ suffered the cross for them, and that they are saved by means of faith alone, and in addition by worship in churches and prayers at set times. To anything else pertaining to religion and its tenets they pay no attention. For the worldly and personal concerns that occupy and fill their minds shut their ears to them.

Many of them were church elders, and I asked them what their thinking was when they read about works, love and charity, fruits, precepts for life, repentance - in word, about things that must be done. They replied that they had indeed read these things and so had seen them, but still did not see them, because they kept their mind focused on faith alone. Consequently they said that these all constitute faith, and that they did not think of them as being the effects of faith.

The ignorance and stupidity of people once they have embraced faith alone and made it the whole of their religion is such as to be scarcely believable, even though I have been given to witness it by a good deal of experience.

[3] That plagues symbolize spiritual plagues, which cause a person to die in spirit or as regards his soul, is apparent from the following passages:

Your rupture is hopeless, your plague severe... ...I will restore health to you and heal you of your plagues... (Jeremiah 30:12, 14, 17)

Everyone who goes by Babylon shall... hiss at all her plagues. (Jeremiah 50:13)

...plagues will come (to Babylon) in one day - death and mourning... (Revelation 18:8)

I saw... seven angels having the seven last plagues, by which the wrath of God is to be consummated. (Revelation 15:1, 6)

Woe to a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity... From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it. A wound and a scar and a fresh plague - these have not been expressed, bound up, or soothed with ointment. (Isaiah 1:4, 6)

In the day that Jehovah will bind up the fracture of His people and heal the wound of its plague. (Isaiah 30:26)

So, too, elsewhere, as in Deuteronomy 28:59, Jeremiah 49:17, Zechariah 14:12, 15, Luke 7:21, Revelation 11:6; 16:21.
