Ponovljeni Zakon 32

Studie

   

1 Slušaj, nebo, govoriću; i zemlja neka čuje govor usta mojih.

2 Neka se spusti kao dažd nauka moja, i neka padne kao rosa govor moj, kao sitan dažd na mladu travu i kao krupan dažd na odraslu travu.

3 Jer ću javljati ime Gospodnje; veličajte Boga našeg.

4 Delo je te Stene savršeno, jer su svi putevi Njegovi pravda; Bog je veran, bez nepravde; pravedan je i istinit.

5 Oni se pokvariše prema Njemu; njihovo nevaljalstvo nije nevaljalstvo sinova Njegovih; to je rod zao i pokvaren.

6 Tako li vraćate Gospodu, narode ludi i bezumni? Nije li On Otac tvoj koji te je zadobio? On te je načinio i stvorio.

7 Opomeni se nekadašnjih dana, pogledajte godine svakog veka; pitaj oca svog i on će ti javiti, starije svoje i kazaće ti.

8 Kad Višnji razdade nasledstvo narodima, kad razdeli sinove Adamove, postavi međe narodima po broju sinova Izrailjevih.

9 Jer je deo Gospodnji narod Njegov, Jakov je uže nasledstva Njegovog.

10 Nađe ga u zemlji pustoj, na mestu strašnom gde buči pustoš; vodi ga unaokolo, uči ga i čuva kao zenicu oka svog.

11 Kao što orao izmamljuje orliće svoje, diže se nad ptićima svojim, širi krila svoja, uzima ih i nosi na krilima svojim,

12 Tako ga Gospod vođaše, i s njim ne beše tuđeg boga;

13 Vođaše ga na visine zemaljske da jede rod poljski, i davaše mu da sisa med iz stene i ulje iz tvrdog kamena,

14 Maslo od krava i mleko od ovaca s pretilinom od jaganjaca i ovnova vasanskih i jaraca, sa srcem zrna pšeničnih; i pio si vino, krv od grožđa.

15 Ali se Izrailj ugoji, pa se stade ritati; utio si, udebljao i zasalio; pa ostavi Boga koji ga je stvorio, i prezre stenu spasenja svog.

16 Na revnost razdražiše Ga tuđim bogovima, gadovima razgneviše Ga.

17 Prinosiše žrtve đavolima, ne Bogu, bogovima, kojih nisu znali, novim, koji iz bliza dođoše, kojih se nisu strašili oci vaši.

18 Stenu koja te je rodila zaboravio si; zaboravio si Boga Stvoritelja svog.

19 Kad to vide Gospod, razgnevi se na sinove svoje i na kćeri svoje,

20 I reče: Sakriću od njih lice svoje, videću kakav će im biti posledak, jer su rod pokvaren, sinovi u kojima nema vere.

21 Oni me razdražiše na revnost onim što nije Bog, razgneviše svojim taštinama; i ja ću njih razdražiti na revnost onim koji nije narod, narodom ludim razljutiću ih.

22 Jer se oganj razgoreo u gnevu mom, i goreće do najdubljeg pakla; spaliće zemlju i rod njen, i popaliće temelje brdima.

23 Zgrnuću na njih zla, strele svoje pobacaću na njih.

24 Glad će ih cediti, vrućice i ljuti pomori proždiraće ih; i zube zverske poslaću na njih i jed zmija zemaljskih.

25 Spolja će ih ubijati mač, a po kletima strah, i momka i devojku, dete na sisi i sedog čoveka.

26 Rekao bih: Rasejaću ih po svim uglovima zemaljskim, učiniću da nestane spomen njihov između ljudi,

27 Da mi nije do mržnje neprijateljeve, da se ne bi neprijatelji njihovi poneli i rekli: Ruka se naša uzvisila, a nije Gospod učinio sve ovo.

28 Jer su narod koji propada sa svojih namera, i nema u njih razuma.

29 Kamo da su pametni, da razumeju ovo, i gledaju na kraj svoj!

30 Kako bi jedan gonio hiljadu a dvojica terala deset hiljada, da ih nije stena njihova prodala i Gospod ih predao?

31 Jer stena njihova nije kao naša Stena; neprijatelji naši neka budu sudije.

32 Jer je čokot njihov od čokota sodomskog i iz polja gomorskog; grožđe je njihovo grožđe otrovno, puca su mu gorka.

33 Vino je njihovo otrov zmajevski, i ljuti jed aspidin.

34 Nije li to sakriveno kod mene, zapečaćeno u riznicama mojim?

35 Moja je osveta i plata, u svoje vreme popuznuće noga njihova, jer je blizu dan propasti njihove, i ide brzo šta će ih zadesiti.

36 Sudiće Gospod narodu svom, i žao će mu biti sluga Njegovih, kad vidi da je prošla snaga i da nema ništa ni od uhvaćenog ni od ostavljenog.

37 I reći će: Gde su bogovi njihovi? Stena u koju se uzdaše?

38 Koji salo od žrtava njegovih jedoše i piše vino od naliva njihovih. Neka ustanu i pomognu vam, i neka vam budu zaklon.

39 Vidite sada da sam ja, ja sam, i da nema Boga osim mene. Ja ubijam i oživljujem, ranim i isceljujem, i nema nikoga ko bi izbavio iz moje ruke.

40 Jer podižem k nebu ruku svoju i kažem: Ja sam živ doveka.

41 Ako naoštrim sjajni mač svoj i uzmem u ruku sud, učiniću osvetu na neprijateljima svojim i vratiću onima koji mrze na me.

42 Opojiću strele svoje krvlju, i mač će se moj najesti mesa, krvlju isečenih i zarobljenih, kad počnem osvetu na neprijateljima.

43 Veselite se narodi s narodom Njegovim, jer će pokajati krv sluga svojih, i osvetiće se neprijateljima svojim, i očistiće zemlju svoju i narod svoj.

44 I dođe Mojsije i izgovori sve reči pesme ove narodu, on i Isus, sin Navin.

45 A kad izgovori Mojsije sve reči ove svemu Izrailju,

46 Reče im: Privijte srce svoje k svim rečima koje vam ja danas zasvedočavam, i kazujte ih sinovima svojim da bi držali sve reči ovog zakona i tvorili ih.

47 Jer nije prazna reč da za nju ne marite, nego je život vaš; i tom ćete rečju produžiti dane svoje na zemlji, u koju idete preko Jordana da je nasledite.

48 U isti dan reče Gospod Mojsiju govoreći:

49 Iziđi na ovu goru avarimsku, na goru Navav, koja je u zemlji moavskoj prema Jerihonu, i vidi zemlju hanansku koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim u državu.

50 I umri na gori na koju iziđeš, i priberi s k rodu svom, kao što je umro Aron, brat tvoj na gori Oru i pribrao se k rodu svom.

51 Jer mi zgrešiste među sinovima Izrailjevim na vodi od svađe u Kadisu u pustinji Sinu, što me ne proslaviste među sinovima Izrailjevim.

52 Pred sobom ćeš videti zemlju, ali nećeš u nju ući, u zemlju koju dajem sinovima Izrailjevim.

3579. 'And God will give to you of the dew of heaven' means from Divine Truth; 'and of the fatness of the land' means from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'the dew of heaven' as truth, dealt with below, and from the meaning of 'fatness' as good, dealt with in 353. In the highest sense in which they have reference to the Lord both are Divine. As for the multiplication of truth and the fruitfulness of good, they involve this: When the rational flows into the natural its own good presented by it in the natural appears in a general form. Through this good it produces truths there, almost in the way that life develops tissues in man and organizes them into different forms according to the functions they perform. By means of these truths organized into a heavenly order, this good produces further good, and through this further truths, which are derivatives. It is possible to have a natural idea such as this concerning the formation of truth from good, and of further good through that truth, through which yet again truth is formed. But it is not possible for anyone to have a spiritual idea except those in the next life, for in that life ideas are formed from the light of heaven, which light holds intelligence within it.

[2] As regards 'the dew' meaning truth, this too is clear from other places in the Word, as in Zechariah,

The seed of peace, the vine will give its fruit, and the land will give its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. Zechariah 8:12.

This refers to a new Church. 'The vine will give its fruit' stands for the fact that the spiritual element of the Church, which is the truth of faith, will yield good, while 'the land will give its increase' stands for the fact that the celestial element of the Church, which is the good of charity, will yield truth, 'the dew which the heavens will give' being that good and truth. In Haggai,

Because of My house which lies waste the heavens above you have withheld their dew, and the earth has withheld its increase. Haggai 1:9-10.

'The dew of the heavens' and 'the increase of the earth' which were held back stand for similar things.

[3] In David,

From the womb of the dawn You have the dew of Your nativity. Psalms 110:3-4.

This refers to the Lord. 'The dew of nativity' stands for the celestial element of love. In Moses,

Blessed by Jehovah is his land, of the precious things of heaven, of the dew, of the deep also Lying below. Deuteronomy 33:13.

This refers to Joseph. 'The precious things of heaven' are spiritual things, 3166, which are 'the dew', 'the deep Lying below' being natural things. In the same author,

Israel dwelt securely. alone at Jacob's spring, in a land of grain and new wine; even his heavens distilled dew. Deuteronomy 33:28.

Here 'even his heavens distilled dew' stands for spiritual things, which are those of truth.

[4] 'Dew' in the genuine sense is the truth of good which is the product of a state of innocence and peace, for by 'the morning' or dawn when the dew comes down are meant those states of innocence and peace, 2333, 2405, 2540, 2780. This also was why the manna from heaven accompanied the dew which used to come down in the morning time, as becomes clear in Moses,

In the morning there was a deposit of dew around the camp, and when the deposit of dew went up, behold, on the face of the wilderness a round congealed thing, a congealed thing like hoar frost on the earth. Exodus 16:13-14.

When the dew came down over the camp at night, the manna came down on it. Numbers 11:9.

Because 'the manna' was heavenly bread it meant in the highest sense the Lord as regards Divine Good, and consequently with men the celestial element of love, for this originates in the Lord's Divine, 276, 680, 1798, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478. 'The dew' on which and with which the manna came down stands in the highest sense for Divine Truth, and in the relative sense for spiritual truth with men. 'The morning time' is the state of peace in which those goods and truths are present, 92, 93, 1726, 2780, 3170.

[5] Because 'the dew' means truth which comes from good, or what amounts to the same, that which is spiritual originating in that which is celestial, spiritual truth is for that reason also compared in the Word to the dew, for the objects used as signs of spiritual things are also used as comparisons with those same things, as in Isaiah,

Thus said Jehovah to me, I will be still and I will behold in My dwelling-place; like clear warmth on the light, like a cloud of dew when the harvest is warm. Isaiah 18:4.

In Hosea,

What shall I do to you, O Ephraim? What shall I do to you, O Judah? For your holiness - like a dawn cloud, and like the dew that falls in the morning - [is going away]. Hosea 6:4; 13:3.

In the same prophet,

I will be as the dew to Israel, he will blossom 1 as the lily, and strike root like Lebanon. Hosea 14:5.

In Micah,

The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Jehovah, like raindrops on the grass. Micah 5:7.

In David,

It is like the good oil upon the head, that runs down over the collar 2 of Aaron's robes. It is like the dew of Hermon which runs down over the mountains of Zion, for there Jehovah has commanded the blessing of life even for evermore. Psalms 133:2-3.

In Moses,

My doctrine will flow down like the rain, My word will distill like the dew, like showers on the tender grass, and like raindrops on the grass. Deuteronomy 32:2.

Here 'the dew' stands for the multiplication of truth that comes from good, and for the fruitfulness of good through truth. And because the dew is that which every morning causes field and vineyard to be fruitful, good and truth themselves are meant by the grain and new wine referred to next in this verse.
