Ponovljeni Zakon 17

Studie

   

1 Ne prinosi Gospodu Bogu svom ni vola ni jagnjeta ni jareta na kome ima mana ili kako god zlo; jer je gadno pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim.

2 Ako se nađe kod tebe u kome od mesta tvojih, koja ti da Gospod Bog tvoj, čovek ili žena da učini zlo pred Gospodom Bogom tvojim prestupajući zavet Njegov,

3 I otide te služi drugim bogovima i klanja im se, ili suncu ili mesecu ili čemu god iz vojske nebeske, što nisam zapovedio,

4 I tebi se to javi i ti čuješ, onda raspitaj dobro; pa ako bude istina i doista se učinila ona gadna stvar u Izrailju,

5 Izvedi onog čoveka ili onu ženu, koji učiniše ono zlo, na vrata svoja, čoveka onog ili ženu, i zaspi ih kamenjem da poginu.

6 Na svedočanstvo dva ili tri čoveka da se pogubi onaj koga valja pogubiti; ali na svedočanstvo jednog čoveka da se ne pogubi.

7 Svedoci neka prvi dignu ruke na nj da ga ubiju; a potom sav narod; tako izvadi zlo iz sebe.

8 Kad ti bude teško rasuditi između krvi i krvi, između raspre i raspre, ili između rane i rane, oko kojih bude parnica u tvom mestu, tada ustani i idi u mesto koje izabere Gospod Bog tvoj;

9 I otidi k sveštenicima Levitima ili k sudiji koji onda bude, pa ih upitaj, i oni će ti kazati kako valja presuditi.

10 I učini onako kako ti kažu u mestu koje izabere Gospod, i gledaj da učiniš sasvim onako kako te nauče.

11 Po zakonu kome te nauče, i po presudi, koju ti kažu, učini; ne odstupi od onog što ti kažu ni nadesno ni nalevo.

12 Ako li bi se ko upro te ne bi hteo poslušati sveštenika koji onde stoji te služi Gospodu Bogu tvom, ili sudije, takav čovek da se pogubi; i izvadi zlo iz Izrailja,

13 Da sav narod čuje i boji se, i unapred, da ne radi uporno.

14 Kad uđeš u zemlju koju ti daje Gospod Bog tvoj da je naslediš, i naseliš se u njoj, ako kažeš: Da postavim sebi cara, kao što imaju svi narodi oko mene,

15 Samo onog postavi sebi za cara, kog izabere Gospod Bog tvoj; između braće svoje postavi cara sebi; a nemoj postaviti nad sobom čoveka tuđina, koji nije brat tvoj.

16 Ali da ne drži mnogo konja, i da ne vraća narod u Misir da bi imao mnogo konja, jer vam je Gospod kazao: Ne vraćajte se više ovim putem.

17 I da nema mnogo žena, da se ne bi otpadilo srce njegovo, ni srebra ni zlata da nema vrlo mnogo.

18 A kad sede na presto carstva svog, neka prepiše sebi u knjigu ovaj zakon od sveštenika Levita;

19 I neka ga drži kod sebe i neka ga čita dok je živ, da se uči bojati se Gospoda Boga svog, držati sve reči ovog zakona i ove uredbe, i tvoriti ih;

20 Da se ne bi podiglo srce njegovo iznad braće njegove, i da ne bi odstupilo od ove zapovesti ni nadesno ni nalevo, da bi dugo carovao on i sinovi njegovi u Izrailju.

585. And against His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. This symbolizes scandalous assertions against the Lord's celestial church and against heaven.

The Tabernacle has almost the same symbolic meaning as the Temple, namely, in the highest sense, the Lord's Divine humanity, and in a relative sense, heaven and the church (nos. 191, 529). But in the latter sense the Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church, which is impelled by the goodness of love toward the Lord received from the Lord; and the Temple symbolizes the spiritual church, which is impelled by truths of wisdom received from the Lord. Those who dwell in heaven symbolize heaven.

The Tabernacle symbolizes the celestial church because the Most Ancient Church, being impelled by love toward the Lord, was a celestial church and held sacred worship in tents. And the Ancient Church was a spiritual church and held sacred worship in temples.

Tents used wood in their construction, while temples used stone, and wood symbolizes goodness, and stone truth.

[2] That the Tabernacle symbolizes the Lord's Divine humanity in respect to Divine love, and a heaven and a church that is impelled by love toward the Lord, can be seen from the following passages:

Jehovah, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy mountain? He who walks uprightly, and practices righteousness, and speaks the truth... (Psalms 15:1-2)

(Jehovah) shall hide me in His tabernacle; in the secret place of His tabernacle He shall conceal me; He shall set me high... (Psalms 27:4-5)

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever. (Psalms 61:4)

Look upon Zion...; let your eyes behold Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that will not be dispelled... (Isaiah 33:20)

(Jehovah) who... spreads (the heavens) out like a tent to dwell in. (Isaiah 40:22)

...you have made Jehovah..., the Most High, your dwelling place..., no plague shall come near your tent. (Psalms 91:9-10)

(Jehovah) set (His) tabernacle among (them).... (He) will walk among (them).... (Leviticus 26:11-12)

(Jehovah) forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tabernacle in which He dwelled among men. (Psalms 78:60)

I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them...." (Revelation 21:3)

...My tabernacle has been laid waste... (Jeremiah 4:20; 10:20)

He shall... pluck you out of your tent, and uproot you from the land of the living. (Psalms 52:5)

And so on elsewhere, as in Isaiah 16:5; 54:2, Jeremiah 30:18, Lamentations 2:4, Hosea 9:6; 12:9, Zechariah 12:7.

[3] Since the Most Ancient Church, which was a celestial church, being impelled by love toward the Lord and being thus in conjunction with Him, held sacred worship in tents, therefore by the Lord's command Moses erected a tent or tabernacle, in which everything relating to heaven and the church was represented. And it was so holy that no one was permitted to enter except Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's sons; and if any of the people were to do so, they would die (Numbers 17:12-13; 18:1, 22-23; 19:14-19).

Inmostly in that tabernacle, containing the two tables of the Decalogue, was the Ark, on which was the mercy seat and over it the cherubim. And outside the veil was the table holding the showbread, the altar of incense, and the lampstand having seven lamps. All of these things were representative objects relating to heaven and the church. The tabernacle itself is described in Exodus 26:7-16; 36:8-37.

We also read that the design of the Tabernacle was shown to Moses upon Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:9; 26:30); and whatever he was given to see from heaven is a representation relating to heaven and the church.

In memory of the most ancient people's sacred worship of the Lord in tents, and of their conjunction with Him through love, Israel was commanded to observe the Feast of Tabernacles, as recorded in Leviticus 23:39-44, Deuteronomy 16:13-14.
