1 Вотъ благословеніе, которымъ Моисей, человјкъ Божій, благословилъ сыновъ Израилевыхъ предъ смертію своею.

2 Онъ сказалъ: Господь пришелъ отъ Синая, возсіялъ для нихъ отъ Сеира, возблисталъ отъ горы Фарана, и шелъ изъ среды темъ святыхъ, одесную Его огнь закона для нихъ.

3 Онъ любитъ также народы; Всј святые его въ рукј Твоей; И шли они въ слјдъ ногъ Твоихъ, получили долю изъ словъ Твоихъ.

4 Законъ далъ намъ Моисей, наслјдіе обществу Іаковлеву.

5 Онъ царь Израиля, когда собираются главы народа, вкупј колјна Изранлевы.

6 Да живетъ Рувимъ и да не умретъ, когда будугь люди его малочисленны.

7 Но Іудј сказалъ сіе: Услыши, Господи, гласъ Іуды, и приведи его къ народу его, руками Своими: Да защититъ Онъ его, и будь помощпикомъ противъ враговъ его.

8 И о Левіи сказалъ: Туммимъ Твой и уримъ Твой на святомъ мужј Твоемъ, котораго Ты искусилъ въ Массј, съ которымъ Ты препирался при водахъ Меривы,

9 Который говоритъ объ отцј своемъ и о матери своей: на нихъ не смотрю, и братьевъ своихъ чуждается, и сыновей своихъ не знаетъ. Ибо они слова Твои хранятъ, и завјтъ Твой соблюдаютъ.

10 Учатъ законамъ Твоимъ Іакова, и заповјдямъ Твоимъ Израиля, возлагаютъ куреніе предъ лице Твое, и всесожженія на жертвенникъ Твой.

11 Благослови, Господи, силу его, и о дјлј рукъ его благоволи, порази чресла возстающихъ на него и ненавидящихъ его, чтобъ они не могли стоятъ.

12 О Веніаминј сказалъ: Возлюбленный Господомъ обитаетъ у него безопасно; Богъ покровительствуетъ ему всякой день, и обитаетъ между раменами Его.

13 О Іосифј сказалъ: Благословенна Господомъ земля его, драгоцјнными дарами неба, росою, и дарами бездны, лежащей внизу,

14 Драгоцјнными плодами солнца, и драгоцјнными произведеніями мјсяцевъ;

15 Превосходнјйшими произведеніими горъ древнихъ, и драгоцјнностями холмовъ вјчныхъ,

16 И драгоцјнностями земли, и того, что наполняетъ ее. Благословеніе Явившагося въ терновомъ кустј да пріидетъ на главу Іосифа и на темя наилучшаго изъ братьевъ своихъ,

17 Крјпость его какъ первороднаго тельца, и роги его, какъ роги буйвола; Ими избодетъ онъ народы всј до предјловъ земли: Это тмы Ефремовы, это тысячи Манассіины.

18 О Завулонј сказалъ: Веселись Завулонъ, въ путяхъ твоихъ, и Иссахаръ, въ шатрахъ твоихъ.

19 Созываютъ они людей на гору, тамъ закалаютъ законныя жертвы: Ибо они питаются богатствомъ моря и сокровищами, сокрытыми въ пескј.

20 О Гадј сказалъ: Благословенъ распространившій Гада, онъ покоитоя какъ левъ, и терзаетъ и руки и голову.

21 І Онъ избралъ себј первую частъ, тамъ почтенъ удјломъ отъ законодателя. Но пошелъ вмјстј съ главами народа, и исполнилъ правду Господа, и суды съ Израилемъ.

22 О Данј сказалъ: Данъ молодой левъ, который выбјгаетъ изъ Васана.

23 О Нефѕалимј сказалъ: Нефѕалимъ насыщенъ благоволеніемъ и исполненъ благословенія Господня; Море и югъ во владјніи его.

24 О Асирј сказалъ: Благословенъ между сынами Асиръ; Онъ будетъ любимъ братьями своими, и окунетъ въ елей ногу свою.

25 Желјзо и мјдь запоры твои; Какъ умножаться будутъ дни твои, такъ и богатство твое.

26 Нјть подобнаго Богу Израилеву, Который по небесамъ принесся на помощь тебе, во славј Своей на облакахъ.

27 Убјжище твое Богь древній, и ты подъ мышцами вјчными. Онъ прогонитъ враговъ отъ лща твоего, и говоритъ: истребляй!

28 Израиль живетъ безопасно одинъ, око Іакова видитъ предъ собою землю обильную хлјбомъ и виномъ, и небеса его каплютъ росу.

29 Благо тебј, Израиль! кто подобенъ тебј? Народъ, спасаемый Господомъ, Который есть щитъ помощи твоей, и мечь славы твоей? Враги твои раболјпствуютъ тебј, и ты попираешь высоты ихъ.

9475. And for the incense of spices. That this signifies for acceptable perception, is evident from the signification of “incense,” as being the things of worship which are acceptably perceived, such as confessions, adorations, prayers, and the like; and from the signification of “spices,” as being the truths of faith which are acceptable because from good; for sweet odors signify what is acceptable, in accordance with their perfumes, and whatever is acceptable is so from good through truths. It is for this reason that by “the incense of spices” Is signified the acceptable perception of truth from good. The spices of which this incense was compounded are enumerated, and its preparation is described, in these words:

Take unto thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; sweet spices, and pure frankincense. Thou shalt make them an incense salted, pure, holy. Thou shalt beat some of it very small, and put some of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting; it shall be to you the holy of holies. The incense shall be to thee holy for Jehovah (Exodus 30:34-37).

The altar of incense, and the burning of the incense itself, are thus described:

Thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon. Thou shalt overlay it with pure gold. Thou shalt put it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory [mercy seat], that Aaron may burn thereon incense of spices every morning; when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn it; and between the evenings (Exodus 30:1-8; 37:25-29; 40:26-27).

When Aaron shall come into the holy place, he shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar; and his fists full of incense of spices beaten small; then he shall bring it within the veil, so that he may put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, and the cloud of the incense may cover the propitiatory [mercy seat] that is upon the testimony (Leviticus 16:3, 12-13).

[2] As by “incense” were signified such things of worship as are from good through truths-as are all the things that belong to the faith that is from the good of love-therefore fire was taken from the altar; for by “the fire of the altar” was signified the good of Divine love (n. 934, 4906, 5071, 5215, 6314, 6832, 6834, 6849, 7324, 7852); and therefore when fire was taken from any other source, they were smitten with a plague, and died (Leviticus 10:1-2; Numbers 17:10-13); for by fire from some other source, or strange fire, was signified love not Divine.

[3] That such things as belong to the faith that is from the good of love and charity-as for instance confessions, adorations, and prayers-are signified by “incense,” is evident in David:

Accepted are my prayers as incense before Thee (Psalms 141:2).

The four animals, and the four and twenty elders, fell down before the Lamb, having each one of them a harp, and golden vials full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints (Revelation 5:8).

Another angel came, having a golden censer, and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it to the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. The smoke of the incense went up from the prayers of the saints (Revelation 8:3-4).

[4] The reason why such things are signified by “incense” is that they belong to the thought and thence to the mouth; but the things which belong to affection, and thence to the heart, are signified by the “meat-offering” in Malachi:

From the rising of the sun even to its going down, the name of Jehovah shall be great among the nations, and in every place shall incense be offered to My name, and a clean meat-offering (Malachi 1:11);

and by “the burnt-offering” in Moses:

The sons of Leviticus shall teach Jacob Thy judgments, and Israel Thy law; they shall put incense in Thy nostrils, and a burnt-offering upon Thine altar (Deuteronomy 33:10).

Here “incense” denotes such things as belong to the thought and the mouth, and that bear relation to the truths of faith; and the “meat-offering” and “burnt-offering” denote such things as belong to the affection and the heart, and bear relation to the goods of love. Consequently in the opposite sense worship from falsities of faith is meant by “burning incense to other gods” (Jeremiah 1:16; 44:3, 5); and by “burning incense to idols” (Ezekiel 8:11; 16:18); and by “burning incense to the Baals” (Hosea 2:13).
