1 A ovo je blagoslov kojim blagoslovi Mojsije, čovek Božji sinove Izrailjeve pred smrt svoju.

2 I reče: Gospod iziđe sa Sinaja, i pokaza im se sa Sira; zasja s gore Faranske, i dođe s mnoštvom hiljada svetaca, a u desnici mu zakon ognjeni za njih.

3 Doista ljubi narode; svi su sveti Njegovi u ruci Tvojoj; i oni se slegoše k nogama Tvojim da prime reči Tvoje.

4 Mojsije nam dade zakon, nasledstvo zboru Jakovljevom.

5 Jer beše car u Izrailju, kad se sabirahu knezovi narodni, plemena Izrailjeva.

6 Da živi Ruvim i ne umre, a ljudi njegovih da bude malo!

7 A za Judu reče: Usliši Gospode glas Judin, i dovedi ga opet k narodu njegovom; ruke njegove neka vojuju na nj, a Ti mu pomaži protiv neprijatelja njegovih.

8 I za Levija reče: Tvoj Tumim i Tvoj Urim neka budu u čoveka Tvog svetog, kog si okušao u Masi i s kojim si se prepirao na vodi Merivi;

9 Koji kaže ocu svom i materi svojoj: Ne gledam na vas; koji ne poznaje braću svoju i za sinove svoje ne zna, jer drži reči Tvoje i zavet Tvoj čuva.

10 Oni uče uredbama Tvojim Jakova i zakonu Tvom Izrailja, i meću kad pod nozdrve Tvoje i žrtvu što se sažiže na oltar Tvoj.

11 Blagoslovi, Gospode, vojsku njegovu, i neka Ti milo bude delo ruku njegovih; polomi bedre onima koji ustaju na nj i koji mrze na nj, da ne ustanu.

12 Za Venijamina reče: Mili Gospodu nastavaće bez straha s Njim; zaklanjaće ga svaki dan, i među plećima Njegovim nastavaće.

13 I za Josifa reče: Blagoslovena je zemlja njegova od Gospoda blagom s neba, rosom i iz dubine odozdo,

14 I blagom koje dolazi od sunca, i blagom koje dolazi od meseca.

15 I blagom starih brda i blagom večnih humova.

16 I blagom na zemlji i obiljem njenim, i milošću onog koji stoji u kupini. Neka to dođe ne glavu Josifu i na teme odvojenome između braće svoje.

17 Krasota je njegova kao u prvenca teleta, i rogovi njegovi kao rogovi u jednoroga; njima će bosti narode sve do kraja zemlje; to je mnoštvo hiljada Jefremovih i hiljade Manasijine.

18 A za Zavulona reče: Veseli se Zavulone izlaskom svojim, i Isahare šatorima svojim.

19 Narode će sazvati na goru, onde će prineti žrtve pravedne; jer će obilje morsko sisati i skriveno blago u pesku.

20 A za Gada reče: Blagosloven je koji širi Gada; on nastava kao lav, i kida ruku i glavu.

21 Izabra sebi prvo, jer onde dobi deo od Onog koji dade zakon; zato će ići s knezovima narodnim, i izvršavati pravdu Gospodnju i sudove Njegove s Izrailjem.

22 A za Dana reče: Dan je lavić, koji će iskakati iz Vasana.

23 I za Neftalima reče: Neftalime, siti milosti i puni blagoslova Gospodnjeg, zapad i jug uzmi.

24 I za Asira reče: Asir će biti blagoslov mimo druge sinove, biće mio braći svojoj, zamakaće u ulje nogu svoju.

25 Gvožđe i bronza biće pod obućom tvojom; i dokle traju dani tvoji trajaće snaga tvoja.

26 Izrailju! Niko nije kao Bog, koji ide po nebu tebi u pomoć, i u veličanstvu svom na oblacima.

27 Zaklon je Bog večni i pod mišicom večnom; On će odagnati ispred tebe neprijatelje tvoje, i reći će: Zatri!

28 Da bi nastavao Izrailj sam bezbrižno, izvor Jakovljev, u zemlji obilnoj žitom i vinom; i nebo će njegovo pokropiti rosom.

29 Blago tebi narode Izrailju! Ko je kao ti, narod kog je sačuvao Gospod, štit pomoći tvoje, i mač slave tvoje? Neprijatelji će se tvoji poniziti, a ti ćeš gaziti visine njihove.

2. Someone who thinks in this way, however, does not reflect that Jehovah Himself, the God of heaven and earth, spoke the Word through Moses and the prophets, and that it must therefore be Divine truth itself. For whatever Jehovah Himself utters is such truth. Nor does that person reflect that the Lord, who is the same as Jehovah, spoke the Word reported by the Gospel writers, much of it in person, and the rest by the breath of His mouth, which is the Holy Spirit. Consequently what He Himself says is, in His own words, life, and He is the light that enlightens, and truth personified.

[2] That Jehovah Himself spoke the Word through the prophets is something we showed in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Regarding the Lord 52-53.

That the words the Lord Himself spoke, as reported by the Gospel writers, are life, is something He said in John:

The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:63)

Again in John, Jesus said to the woman at Jacob’s spring:

If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, “Give Me a drink, ” you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.... Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.” (John 4:6, 10, 14)

Jacob’s spring symbolizes the Word, as in Deuteronomy 33:28 as well. That, too, is why the Lord sat there and spoke with the woman. And the water symbolizes the Word’s truth.

[3] Again in John:

...Jesus...(said), “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38)

And again:

...Peter (said to Jesus), “...You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68)

Therefore the Lord says in Mark:

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away. (Mark 13:31)

The Lord’s words are life because He is the life and the truth, as He tells us in John:

I am the way, the truth, and the life. (John 14:6)

And again in John:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.... In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. (John 1:1, 4)

The Word there means the Lord in relation to Divine truth, in which alone there is life and light.

[4] It is on this account that the Word, being from the Lord and embodying the Lord, is called “a fountain of living waters” (Jeremiah 2:13, 17:13), “a fountain of salvation” (Isaiah 12:3), “a fountain” (Zechariah 13:1). Also “a river of the water of life” (Revelation 22:1). And we are told that “the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters” (Revelation 7:17).

There are in addition many other places where the Word is called the sanctuary and the tabernacle in which the Lord dwells with mankind.
