1 И говорилъ Господь Моисею на равнинахъ Моавитскихъ у Іордана насупротивъ Іерихона, и сказалъ:

2 дай повелјніе сынамъ Израилевымъ, чтобъ они изъ удјловъ владјнія своего дали левитамъ города для жительства, и предмјстія городовъ со всјхъ сторонъ дайте левитамъ.

3 Города будутъ имъ для жительства, и предмјстія ихъ будутъ для скота ихъ, и для имјнія ихъ, и для всјхъ животныхъ ихъ.

4 Предмјстія городовъ, которыя вы должиы дать левитамъ, отъ стјны города должны простираться на тысячу локтей во всј стороны.

5 И отмјрьте внј города къ восточной сторонј двј тысячи локтей, и къ южной сторонј двј тысячи локтей, и къ морю двј тысячи локтей, и къ сјверной сторонј двј тысячи локтей, а посрединј городь: таковы будутъ предмјстія городовъ ихъ.

6 Изъ городовъ, которые вы дадите левитамъ, шесть городовъ для убјжища, въ которые вы позволите бјгать убійцј; и сверхъ ихъ дайте сорокъ два города.

7 Итакъ всјхъ городовъ, которые вы должны датъ левитамъ, будетъ сорокъ восемь городовъ, съ предмјстіями ихъ.

8 И когда будете давать города изъ владјнія сыновъ Израилевыхъ: тогда изъ большаго дайте болје, изъ малаго менје; смотря по удјлу, какой кто получитъ, долженъ онъ дать изъ городовъ своихъ левитамъ.

9 И говорилъ Господь Моисею, и сказалъ:

10 объяви сынамъ Израилевымъ, и скажи имъ: когда вы перейдете за Іорданъ въ землю Ханаанскую,

11 выберите себј города, которые бы были у васъ городами для убјжища, куда могъ бы убјжатъ убійца, убившій человјка по ошибкј.

12 И будутъ у васъ города сіи убјжищемъ отъ родственника мстящаго, чтобы не былъ умерщвленъ убившій, прежде нежели предстанетъ на судъ предъ общество.

13 Городовъ для убјжища, которые должны вы дать, должно быть у васъ шесть городовъ. [ (Numbers 36:14) Три города дайте по сю сторону Іордана, и три города дайте въ землј Ханаанской, чтобъ они были городами убјжищными. ] [ (Numbers 36:15) Для сыновъ Израилевыхъ и для пришельца для поселенца, поселившагося у васъ, будуть сій шесть городовъ убјжищами, чтобъ убјгалъ туда всякой убившій человјка по ошибкј. ] [ (Numbers 36:16) Если кто ударитъ кого желјзнымъ орудіемъ, такъ что тотъ умретъ, то онъ убійца: такого убійцу должно предать смерти. ] [ (Numbers 36:17) И если кто ударитъ кого изъ руки камнемъ, отъ котораго можно умереть, такъ что тотъ умретъ; то онъ убійца: такого убійцу должно предать смерти. ] [ (Numbers 36:18) Или если деревяннымъ какимъ орудіемъ, отъ котораго можно умереть, ударитъ изъ руки, такъ что тотъ умретъ, то онъ убійца: такого убійцу должно предать смерти. ] [ (Numbers 36:19) Родственникъ, мстящій за кровь, самъ можетъ умертвить такого убійцу; лишь только встрјтитъ его, самъ можетъ умертвить его. ] [ (Numbers 36:20) Если кто толкнетъ кого по ненависти, или съ умысломъ броситъ на него что-нибудь, такъ что тотъ умретъ, ] [ (Numbers 36:21) или по враждј ударитъ его рукою, такъ что тотъ умретъ, то ударившаго должно предать смерти, онъ убійца: родственникъ, мстящій за кровь можетъ умертвить такого убійцу, лишь только встрјтитъ его. ] [ (Numbers 36:22) Если же онъ толкнетъ его нечаянно, безъ вражды, или броситъ на него что-нибудь безъ умысла, ] [ (Numbers 36:23) или какой-нибудь камень, отъ котораго можно умереть, не видя уронитъ на него, такъ что тотъ умретъ, и притомъ если онъ не былъ врагъ ему и не искалъ ему зла: ] [ (Numbers 36:24) то общество должно произвести судъ между убійцею и родственникомъ, мстящимъ за кровь, по симъ постановленіямъ. ] [ (Numbers 36:25) И должно общество спасти убійцу отъ руки родственника, мстящаго за кровь, и должно возвратить его общество въ городъ убјжища его, куда онъ убјжалъ, чтобь онъ жилъ тамъ до смерти великаго священника, который помазанъ священнымъ елеемъ. ] [ (Numbers 36:26) Если же убійца выдеть за предјлъ города убјжища своего, въ который онъ убјжалъ, ] [ (Numbers 36:27) и найдетъ его родственникъ, мстящій за кровь, внј предјловъ города убјжища его, и убьетъ убійцу сего родственникъ, мстящій за кровь: то не будетъ на немъ вины кровопролитія. ] [ (Numbers 36:28) Ибо онъ долженъ жить въ городј убјжища своего до смерти великаго священника, и по смерти великаго священника долженъ возвратиться убійца въ землю владјнія своего. ] [ (Numbers 36:29) Да будетъ сіе у васъ постановлено въ законъ, въ роды ваши, во всјхъ жилищахъ вашихъ. ] [ (Numbers 36:30) Если кто убьетъ человјка, то убійцу должно убить по свидјтельству свидјтелей: но одного свидјтеля свидјтельство недостаточно, чтобы приговорить къ смерти. ] [ (Numbers 36:31) Не берите выкупа за душу убійцы, который повиненъ смерти, но его должно предать смерти. ] [ (Numbers 36:32) И не берите выкупа за убјжавшаго въ городъ убјжища, чтобъ ему позволить жить въ землј своей прежде смерти священника. ] [ (Numbers 36:33) Не оскверняйте земли, на которой вы находитесь, потому что кровь оскверняетъ землю, и земля не иначе очищается отъ пролитой на ней крови, какь кровію пролившаго ее. ] [ (Numbers 36:34) Не должно осквернять землю, на которой вы жительствуете, среди которой обитаю Я: ибо Я Господь обитаю среди сыновъ Израилевыхъ. ]

Hand

  

Hands in the Bible represent power, the force with which things are put into action. To be specific, they represent the power of spiritual good -- which is the love of others and serving others -- expressed through spiritual truth -- which is an understanding and knowledge of what it is to love and serve others. This is in contrast to the feet, which represent power on the natural level, and a “rod,” which represents the power of the hand passed down into external or natural ideas. In a few cases in the Bible, hands also represent communication and a drawing together. This is true when people lift their hands to heaven or to Jehovah, and also when the Lord touches children or touches people to heal them.

9429. 'And the glory of Jehovah lay over Mount Sinai' means the more internal levels of the Lord's Word in heaven. This is clear from the meaning of 'the glory of Jehovah', when the Word is the subject, as its inward sense, thus the more internal levels of the Word, dealt with in the Preface to Genesis 18, and in 5922; and from the meaning of 'Mount Sinai' as Divine Truth emanating from the Lord, and consequently as heaven, dealt with above in 9420, 9427. The reason why the more internal levels of the Word are called 'the glory' is that Divine Truth emanating from the Lord as the Sun composes the light in heaven, which enables the angels there to see with their eyes and at the same time gives them intelligence and wisdom, 1531, 1619-1632, 2776, 3138, 3167, 3190, 3195, 3339, 3341, 3636, 3643, 3862, 3993, 4302, 4415, 4527, 5400, 6313, 6608, 6907, 8644, 8707, 8861. This Divine light is the source of all the glory in heaven, whose brightness is such that it exceeds all human imagination. From this it is evident why the inward sense of the Word is 'the glory'; for the inward sense of the Word is the Divine Truth emanating from the Lord in heaven, and so it is the light which is the source of all the glory there.

[2] This is what 'glory' is used to mean in a large number of places in the Word, such as where it says that they would see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with glory, Matthew 24:30; Luke 21:27; that the Lord, after He had suffered would enter into His glory, Luke 24:26; that when He came in His glory He would sit on the throne of His glory, Matthew 25:31, 'sitting on the throne of glory' meaning judging with Divine Truth that comes from Him; and that Moses and Elijah appeared in glory, Luke 9:30-31, 'Moses and Elijah' there being the Word, see Preface to Genesis 18, and 2762, 5247, 9372. It is also what the Lord's 'being glorified' is used to mean in John,

Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him. If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him at once. John 13:31-32.

'Being glorified in God' means becoming Divine Good from which Divine Truth springs. Something similar appears in John 12:28.

[3] Divine Truth emanating from the Lord as it exists in heaven is meant by 'the glory' in the following places as well: In Isaiah,

The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah. And the glory of Jehovah will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together. Isaiah 40:3, 5.

These are words referring to the Coming of the Lord, in which 'the glory of Jehovah' that will be revealed is Divine Truth. The Lord is that Truth because it comes from Him, as is evident in John,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. He was the true light. And the Word became flesh; and we saw His glory, glory as of the Only Begotten from the Father. John 1:1, 4, 9, 14.

'The Word' here is Divine Truth, and so is 'the light', from which it is evident what 'seeing His glory' means. The Lord, as is well known, did not appear in any glory in the world, apart from when He was transfigured.

[4] 'The glory' has the same meaning elsewhere in John,

These things Isaiah said when he saw His glory and spoke of Him. But they delighted in the glory of men more than in the glory of God. I have come as light into the world in order that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness. John 12:41, 43, 46.

Here also 'the Lord's glory' and 'the glory of God' stand for Divine Truth, while 'the glory of men' stands for falsity. In Isaiah,

Shine, for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon you. Jehovah will arise upon you, and His glory will be seen over you. The glory of Lebanon will come to you to beautify the place of My sanctuary. Your sun will no longer go down and your moon will not be withdrawn, for Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light. Isaiah 60:1-end.

This plainly refers to the Coming of the Lord, His kingdom, heaven, and the Church. Divine Truth emanating from His Divine Human is described in the whole of that chapter, where it is called light, honour, and glory.

[5] In the same prophet,

They will fear the name of Jehovah from the setting of the sun, and His glory from the rising of the sun. The Redeemer will come to Zion. Isaiah 59:19-20.

Here also it refers to the Lord. 'The name of Jehovah' stands for all the truth of faith and good of love from which worship flows, 2724, 3006, 6674, 9310. In the same prophet,

I have called You in righteousness, and will give You as a covenant of the people, 1 a light of the nations. I am Jehovah, that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 42:6, 8.

This too is a reference to the Lord, in which 'a light of the nations' means Divine Truth which comes from Him; 'not giving glory to another' means that that Divine Truth comes from no one other than the Lord, who is one with Jehovah, as again in the same prophet,

For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do it; and My glory I will not give to another. Isaiah 48:11.

[6] 'Glory' has a like meaning elsewhere in Isaiah,

Your light will break forth like the dawn; your righteousness will walk before you, the glory of Jehovah will gather you up. Isaiah 58:8.

In the same prophet,

One will come to gather all nations and tongues, that they may come and see My glory. Isaiah 66:18.

In the same prophet,

Jehovah Zebaoth will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before all His elders, glory. Isaiah 24:23.

In Moses,

Jehovah said, I am the Living One, and the whole earth will be filled with the glory of Jehovah. Numbers 14:20-21.

In all these places, which refer to the Lord, 'glory' means Divine Truth which emanates from Him.

[7] In Isaiah,

I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. And above Him stood the seraphim. And one cried to another, Holy, holy, holy is Jehovah Zebaoth; the whole earth is full of His glory. Isaiah 6:1-3.

In David,

The heavens recount the glory of God. Psalms 19:1.

And in the same author,

... that the nations may fear the name of Jehovah, and the kings of the earth Your glory, in that Jehovah has built Zion and appeared in His glory. Psalms 102:15-16.

In Revelation,

The glory of God will give the holy Jerusalem light, and its lamp is the Lamb. And the nations that are saved will walk in His light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory and honour into it. Revelation 21:23-25.

'The holy Jerusalem' stands for a new Church; 'the glory of God' stands for Divine Truth from the Lord there, as does 'His light' in which they will walk; and 'the kings of the earth' who 'will bring glory' stands for those who are guided by truths derived from good, 2015, 2069, 4581, 4966, 5044, 6148. All this now makes clear what the meaning is of 'the glory of Jehovah' which lay over Mount Sinai. See also 8427.

1. The Latin means for the people but the Hebrew means of the people, which Swedenborg has in some other places where he quotes this verse.
