Второзаконие 6

Studie

   

1 Вот заповеди, постановления и законы, которым повелел Господь, Бог ваш, научить вас, чтобы вы поступали так в той земле, в которую вы идете, чтоб овладеть ею;

2 дабы ты боялся Господа, Бога твоего, и все постановления Его и заповеди Его, которые заповедую тебе, соблюдал ты и сыны твои и сыны сынов твоих во все дни жизни твоей,дабы продлились дни твои.

3 Итак слушай, Израиль, и старайся исполнить это, чтобы тебе хорошо было, и чтобы вы весьма размножились, как Господь, Боготцов твоих, говорил тебе, что Он даст тебе землю, где течет молоко и мед.

4 Слушай, Израиль: Господь, Бог наш, Господь един есть;

5 и люби Господа, Бога твоего, всем сердцем твоим, и всею душею твоею и всеми силамитвоими.

6 И да будут слова сии, которые Я заповедую тебе сегодня, в сердце твоем.

7 и внушай их детям твоим и говори о них, сидя в доме твоем и идя дорогою, и ложась и вставая;

8 и навяжи их в знак на руку твою, и да будут они повязкою над глазами твоими,

9 и напиши их на косяках дома твоего и на воротах твоих.

10 Когда же введет тебя Господь, Бог твой, в ту землю, которую Он клялся отцам твоим, Аврааму, Исааку и Иакову, дать тебе с большими и хорошими городами, которых ты нестроил,

11 и с домами, наполненными всяким добром, которых ты не наполнял, и с колодезями, высеченными из камня , которых ты не высекал, с виноградниками и маслинами, которых ты не садил, и будешь есть и насыщаться,

12 тогда берегись, чтобы не забыл ты Господа, Который вывел тебя из земли Египетской, из дома рабства.

13 Господа, Бога твоего, бойся, и Ему одному служи, и Его именем клянись.

14 Не последуйте иным богам, богам тех народов, которые будут вокругвас;

15 ибо Господь, Бог твой, Который среди тебя, есть Бог ревнитель; чтобы не воспламенилсягнев Господа, Бога твоего, на тебя, и не истребил Он тебя с лица земли.

16 Не искушайте Господа, Бога вашего, как вы искушали Его в Массе.

17 Твердо храните заповеди Господа, Бога вашего, и уставы Его ипостановления, которые Он заповедал тебе;

18 и делай справедливое и доброе пред очами Господа, дабы хорошо тебе было, и дабы ты вошел и овладел доброю землею, которуюГосподь с клятвою обещал отцам твоим,

19 и чтобы Он прогнал всех врагов твоих от лица твоего, как говорил Господь.

20 Если спросит у тебя сын твой в последующее время, говоря: „что значат сии уставы, постановления и законы, которые заповедал вам Господь, Бог ваш?"

21 то скажи сыну твоему: „рабами были мы у фараона в Египте, но Господь вывел нас из Египта рукою крепкою;

22 и явил Господь знамения и чудеса великие и казни над Египтом, надфараоном и над всем домом его пред глазами нашими;

23 а нас вывел оттуда чтобы ввести нас и дать нам землю, которую клялся отцам нашим дать нам ;

24 и заповедал нам Господь исполнять все постановления сии, чтобы мы боялись Господа, Бога нашего, дабы хорошо было нам во все дни, дабы сохранить нашу жизнь, как и теперь;

25 и в сем будет наша праведность, если мы будем стараться исполнять все сии заповеди пред лицем Господа, Бога нашего, как Он заповедал нам".

9412. 'And ate and drank' means being told about the good and truth of worship. This is clear from the meaning of 'eating' as being joined to and making good their own, dealt with in 2187, 2343, 3168, 3513 (end), 3596, 3832, 4745, 5643; and from the meaning of 'drinking' as being joined to and making truth their own, dealt with in 3089, 3168, 4017, 4018, 5709, 8562. The reason why being told about is also meant - that is to say, being told about good is meant by 'eating', and being told about truth by 'drinking' - is that spiritual food consists in every good of faith that is a source of wisdom, while spiritual drink consists in every truth of faith that is a source of intelligence, 56-58, 681, 1480, 3069, 3114, 3168, 3772, 4792, 5147, 5293, 5340, 5342, 5410, 5426, 5487, 5576, 5579, 5582, 5588, 5655, 5915, 8562, 9003. This explains why feasts, banquets, midday meals, and suppers were instituted among the ancients, to the end that such good and truth belonging to wisdom and intelligence might bind them into fellowship with one another, 3596, 3832, 5161, 7836, 7996, 7997.

[2] It also explains why banquets, midday meals, and suppers in the Word mean instances of being bound together in faith and love, as in Matthew,

Many will come from the east and the west and will recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 8:11.

In Luke,

Jesus said to the disciples, You will eat and drink at My table in My kingdom. Luke 22:30.

In the same gospel,

Blessed are the servants whom the Lord comes and finds watching. Truly, I say to you that He will gird Himself and make them sit down, and He Himself will come and minister to them. Luke 12:37.

In John,

The disciples asked Jesus, saying, Master, eat. But He said to them, I have food to eat of which you do not know. John 4:31-32.

In the same gospel,

Jesus said, I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. John 6:51.

Heavenly bread is plainly meant here. Heavenly bread consists in all the good of love and faith which comes from the Lord, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, 3735, 3813, 4211, 4217, 4735, 4976, 5915, 6118, 9323.

[3] The fact that being told about the good and truth of faith is meant by 'eating and drinking' is clear from the following places: In Luke,

Then you will begin to say, We ate in Your presence and we drank; and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I say to you, I do not know where you come from; depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity. Luke 13:26-27.

'Eating and drinking in the Lord's presence' stands for giving instruction from the Word regarding forms of the good and the truths of faith. 'Teaching in the streets' stands for preaching truths from the Lord's Word, for in former times preaching took place in the streets, because truths composing the teachings of the Church are meant by 'the streets', 2336.

[4] In Isaiah,

Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy, and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend money on that which is not bread, and your labour on that which does not satisfy? Pay thorough attention to Me and eat what is good, that your soul may delight itself in fatness. Incline your ear and come to Me; hear, that your soul may live. Lo, I have given Him as a witness to the peoples, a Prince and Lawgiver to the peoples. 1 Isaiah 55:1-5.

Here it is evident that 'drinking' and 'eating' mean being told things by the Lord, and that 'the waters', 'wine', 'milk', 'bread', and 'fatness' are forms of the truth and the good of faith which come from Him, for it says, 'Incline your ear, come to Me; hear, that your soul may live. Lo, I have given Him as a witness to the peoples, a Prince and a Lawgiver to the peoples'.

[5] In Ezekiel,

Behold, I am breaking the rod of bread in Jerusalem, so that they may eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and with dismay, and may be in want of bread and water, and waste away on account of their iniquity. Ezekiel 4:16-17.

'Eating bread' and 'drinking water' stand for receiving instruction in forms of the good and the truths of faith, 9323. Something similar occurs in Amos,

Behold, the days are going to come, in which I will send a famine on the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the words of Jehovah. Amos 8:11.

'A famine of bread' and 'a thirst for water' are a scarcity and lack of the cognitions or knowledge of goodness and truth, see 3364, 4958, 5277, 5279, 5281, 5300, 5360, 5376, 5415, 5568, 5579, 5893, 6110, 8576. All this now makes clear what the meaning is of the words which say that the disciples' eyes were opened and they recognized the Lord when the Lord broke the bread and gave it to them, Luke 24:29-31. For in the spiritual world 'breaking the bread and giving it to them' means instructing them in the good and truth of faith, by means of which the Lord is seen. It also makes clear what the meaning is of 'the bread and wine' and 'eating and drinking' in the Holy Supper, and what the meaning is of the Lord's words to the disciples, after He had instituted that Supper, that He would not drink of that fruit of the vine until the day when He would drink it new with them in the Father's kingdom, Matthew 26:26-29. The reason why 'eating and drinking' means being told about the good and truth of worship is that after they had offered sacrifices they also ate and drank from them, and sacrifices represented all worship in general, 9391.

1. The Latin means nations but the Hebrew means peoples, which Swedenborg has in some places where he quotes this verse.
