Jezekilj 47

Studie

   

1 Potom odvede me opet k vratima od doma, i gle, voda izlažaše ispod praga od doma k istoku, jer lice domu beše prema istoku; i voda tečaše dole s desne strane doma, s južne strane oltara.

2 Potom me izvede vratima severnim, i provede me okolo spoljašnjim putem k spoljašnjim vratima, putem koji gleda na istok, i gle, voda tečaše s desne strane.

3 I kad čovek iziđe na istok s merom u ruci, izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me preko vode, i voda beše do gležanja.

4 Potom opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me preko vode, a voda beše do kolena; opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i prevede me, a voda beše do pojasa.

5 I opet izmeri hiljadu lakata, i posta reka, koje ne mogoh preći, jer voda ustade da trebaše plivati, posta reka koja se ne može pregaziti.

6 Tada mi reče: Vide li, sine čovečji? I odvede me i povrati me na breg reci.

7 A kad se vratih, gle, po bregu reci vrlo mnogo drva otud i odovud.

8 I reče mi: Ova voda teče u Galileju prvu, i spušta se u polje, i uteče u more, i kad dođe u more, njegova će voda postati zdrava.

9 I sve životinje što se miču kuda god dođu ove reke, biće žive i biće veliko mnoštvo riba, jer kad dođe ova voda onamo, druga će postati zdrava, i sve će biti živo gde ova reka dođe.

10 I ribari će stajati kraj njega od Engada do En-eglaima i razapinjati mreže; i biće riba svakojakih vrlo mnogo kao u velikom moru.

11 A bare njegove i glibovi neće biti zdravi, nego će ostati slani.

12 A kraj reke po bregu otud i odovud rašće drveta svakojaka rodna, kojima lišće neće opadati niti će roda na njima nestajati; svakog će meseca rađati nov rod, jer joj voda teče iz svetinje; zato će rod njihov biti za jelo i lišće njihovo za lek.

13 Ovako veli Gospod Gospod: Ovo su međe u kojima ćete naslediti zemlju po dvanaest plemena Izrailjevih: Josifu dva dela.

14 Nasledićete je kako jedan tako drugi, za koju podigoh ruku svoju da ću je dati ocima vašim; i pripašće vam ta zemlja u nasledstvo.

15 Ovo je dakle međa zemlje: na severnoj strani od velikog mora na Etlon kako se ide u Sedad,

16 Emat, Virota, Sivrajim, koji je između međe damaštanske i međe ematske, Asaratihon, koji je na međi avranskoj.

17 Tako će biti međe od mora Asarenan, međa damaštanska i severna strana na sever, i međa ematska; to je severna strana.

18 A istočnu stranu izmerite od Avrana i od Damaska i od Galada i od zemlje Izrailjeve na Jordanu, od te međe do mora istočnog. I to je istočna strana.

19 A južna strana prema jugu od Tamara do vode Merive u Kadisu, duž potoka do velikog mora. I to je južna strana prema jugu.

20 A zapadna će strana biti veliko more, od te međe do prema ulasku u Emat; to je zapadna strana.

21 I razdelite tu zemlju među se po plemenima Izrailjevim.

22 A razdelite je u nasledstvo među se i među inostrance koji se bave među vama, koji bi izrodili sinove među vama, i oni neka su vam kao domorodac među sinovima Izrailjevim, s vama neka dobiju nasledstvo među plemenima Izrailjevim.

23 I u kome se plemenu inostranac bavi, u onom mu podajte nasledstvo, govori Gospod Gospod.

4117. 'And he set his face towards mount Gilead' means good within it. This is clear from the meaning of 'mount' as the celestial element of love, which is good, dealt with in 795, 1430, to which the good meant by 'Jacob' was joined - 'Gilead' meaning the essential nature of it. Since the river was the boundary and, as has been stated, meant the first phase of the joining together, 'mount Gilead', which lay in this part away from the Jordan, means the good involved in that first stage of the joining together.

[2] The land of Gilead where the mountain was situated lay within the confines of the land of Canaan understood in a wide sense. It was situated on this side of the Jordan, and was granted as an inheritance to the Reubenites and the Gadites, and in particular to the half-tribe of Manasseh. And since the inheritances stretched out that far, it is said that it was situated within the confines of the land of Canaan understood in a wide sense. The fact that this territory was granted as an inheritance to those tribes is clear in Moses, Numbers 32:1, 26-41; Deuteronomy 3:8, 10-16; Joshua 13:24-31. For this reason when the land of Canaan was envisaged in its entirety it was said to stretch from Gilead even to Dan, and in another sense from Beersheba even to Dan, for Dan also was a boundary, 1710, 3923. Regarding its stretching from Beersheba even to Dan, see 2858, 2859; and reference to its doing so from Gilead to Dan occurs in Moses,

Moses went up from the plains of Moab onto mount Nebo, the top of Pisgah, which is in the direction of Jericho. There Jehovah showed him the whole land, Gilead even to Dan. Deuteronomy 34:1.

And in the Book of Judges,

Gilead dwelling at the crossing of the Jordan; and Dan, why will he fear ships? Judges 5:17.

[3] Because it was a boundary, 'Gilead' in the spiritual sense means the good that comes first, which is that of the bodily senses, for it is the good or delight of the senses that a person who is being regenerated is introduced into first of all. This is the sense in which 'Gilead' is taken in the Prophets, as in Jeremiah 8:22; 22:6; 46:11; 50:19; Ezekiel 47:18; Obad. verse 19; Micah 7:14; Zechariah 10:10; Psalms 60:7; and in the contrary sense, in Hosea 6:8; 12:11.
