Isus Navin 24

Studie

   

1 Potom sabra Isus sva plemena Izrailjeva u Sihem, i sazva starešine Izrailjeve i poglavare njegove i sudije njegove i upravitelje njegove, i staše pred Bogom.

2 I reče Isus svom narodu: Ovako veli Gospod Bog Izrailjev: S one strane reke živeše nekada oci vaši, Tara otac Avramov i otac Nahorov, i služiše drugim bogovima.

3 Ali uzeh oca vašeg Avrama ispreko reke i provedoh ga kroz svu zemlju hanansku i umnožih seme njegovo davši mu Isaka.

4 A Isaku dadoh Jakova i Isava, i dadoh Isavu goru Sir da je njegova; a Jakov i sinovi njegovi siđoše u Misir.

5 I poslah Mojsija i Arona, i mučih Misir, kako učinih usred njega, potom vas izvedoh.

6 A kad izvedoh iz Misira oce vaše, dođoše na more, a Misirci goniše oce vaše s kolima i s konjicima do Crvenog mora.

7 Tada zavapiše ka Gospodu, i postavih tamu između vas i Misiraca, i navedoh na njih more koje ih zatrpa, i oči vaše videše šta učinih od Misiraca; potom ostaste u pustinji dugo vremena.

8 Iza toga dovedoh vas u zemlju Amoreja koji življahu s one strane Jordana; i oni se pobiše s vama, ali ih dadoh vama u ruke, te naslediste zemlju njihovu, i istrebih ih ispred vas.

9 A Valak sin Seforov, car moavski, podiže se da se bije s Izrailjem, i posla te dozva Valama sina Veorovog da vas prokune.

10 Ali ne hteh poslušati Valama, te vas on još blagoslovi, i izbavih vas iz ruke njegove.

11 Potom pređoste preko Jordana, i dođoste pod Jerihon, i biše se s vama Jerihonjani, Amoreji i Ferezeji i Hananeji i Heteji i Gergeseji i Jeveji i Jevuseji; i dadoh ih vama u ruke.

12 I poslah pred vama stršljenove, koji ih izagnaše ispred vas, dva cara amorejska; ne mačem tvojim ni lukom tvojim.

13 I dadoh vam zemlju, koju ne radiste, i gradove, koje ne gradiste, i u njima živite; iz vinograda i iz maslinika, kojih niste sadili, jedete.

14 Zato sada bojte se Gospoda i služite Mu verno i istinito; i povrzite bogove, kojima su služili oci vaši s one strane reke i u Misiru, pa služite Gospodu.

15 Ako li vam nije drago služiti Gospodu, izaberite sebi danas kome ćete služiti: ili bogove kojima su služili oci vaši s one strane reke, ili bogove Amoreja u čijoj zemlji živite; a ja i dom moj služićemo Gospodu.

16 A narod odgovori i reče: Ne daj Bože da ostavimo Gospoda da služimo drugim bogovima.

17 Jer Gospod Bog naš, On je izveo nas i oce naše iz zemlje misirske, iz doma ropskog, i On je učinio pred našim očima one znake velike, i čuvao nas celim putem kojim idosmo, i po svim narodima kroz koje prođosmo.

18 I Gospod je isterao ispred nas sve narode i Amoreje, koji življahu u ovoj zemlji; i mi ćemo služiti Gospodu, jer je Bog naš.

19 A Isus reče narodu: Ne možete služiti Gospodu, jer je svet Bog, Bog revnitelj, neće podnositi vaše nevere i vaše grehe.

20 Kad ostavite Gospoda i stanete služiti tuđim bogovima, okrenuće se i zlo će vam učiniti, i istrebiće vas, pošto vam je dobro činio.

21 A narod reče Isusu: Ne, nego ćemo Gospodu služiti.

22 A Isus reče narodu: Sami ste sebi svedoci da ste izabrali sebi Gospoda da Mu služite. I oni rekoše: svedoci smo.

23 Povrzite dakle bogove tuđe što su među vama, i privijte srce svoje ka Gospodu Bogu Izrailjevom.

24 A narod reče Isusu: Gospodu Bogu svom služićemo i glas Njegov slušaćemo.

25 Tako učini Isus zavet s narodom onaj dan i postavi im uredbe i zakone u Sihemu.

26 I zapisa Isus ove reči u knjigu zakona Božjeg; i uzevši kamen velik podiže ga onde pod hrastom koji beše kod svetinje Gospodnje.

27 I reče Isus svom narodu: Evo, kamen ovaj neka vam bude svedočanstvo; jer je čuo sve reči Gospodnje, koje nam je govorio; i neka vam bude svedočanstvo da ne biste slagali Bogu svom.

28 Potom raspusti Isus narod, svakog na njegovo nasledstvo.

29 A posle ovih stvari umre Isus sin Navin sluga Gospodnji, kad mu beše sto i deset godina.

30 I pogreboše ga u međama nasledstva njegovog u Tamnat-Sarahu, koji je u gori Jefremovoj, sa severa gori Gasu.

31 I služi Izrailj Gospodu svega veka Isusovog i svega veka starešina, koje dugo živeše iza Isusa i koji su znali sva dela Gospodnja, koja učini Izrailju.

32 I kosti Josifove, koje donesoše sinovi Izrailjevi iz Misira, pogreboše u Sihemu, u delu polja koje je kupio Jakov od sinova Emora oca Sihemovog za sto novaca; i biše u sinova Josifovih u nasledstvu njihovom.

33 I Eleazar sin Aronov umre, i pogreboše ga na brdu Finesa sina njegovog, koje mu beše dano u gori Jefremovoj.

4447. And Hamor spoke with them, saying. That this signifies the good of the Church among the Ancients, is evident from the representation of Hamor, as being what is from the ancients (see n. 4431), that is, the good of the church which was among them. For the good of the church is father, and the derivative truth (“Shechem”) is son; and therefore by “father” in the Word is signified good, and by “son” truth. It is here said “the good of the Church among the Ancients,” but not “the good of the Ancient Church,” for the reason that by the “Church among the Ancients” is meant the church that was derived from the Most Ancient Church which existed before the flood, and by the “Ancient Church” is meant the church that existed after the flood. These two churches have sometimes been treated of in the preceding pages, and it has been shown that the Most Ancient Church which was before the flood was celestial, but the Ancient Church which was after the flood was spiritual, and the difference between them has often been treated of.

[2] The remains of the Most Ancient Church which was celestial still existed in the land of Canaan, especially among those called Hittites and Hivites. The reason why these remains did not exist anywhere else was that the Most Ancient Church called “Man” or “Adam” (n. 478, 479) was in the land of Canaan, and therefore the “garden of Eden,” by which was signified the intelligence and wisdom of the men of that church (n. 100, 1588), and by the trees in it their perception, (n. 103, 2163, 2722, 2972), was in that land. And because intelligence and wisdom were signified by this “garden” or paradise, the church itself was meant by it; and because the church was meant, so also was heaven; and because heaven, so also in the supreme sense, was the Lord; and therefore in this sense the “land of Canaan” itself signifies the Lord, in the relative sense heaven and also the church, and in the individual sense the man of the church (n. 1413, 1437, 1607, 3038, 3481, 3705); and therefore also the term “land” or “earth” when mentioned alone in the Word has a like signification (n. 566, 662, 1066, 1067, 1413, 1607, 3355); the “new heaven and new earth” being a new church in respect to its internal and its external (n. 1733, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355). That the Most Ancient Church was in the land of Canaan may be seen in n. 567; and the result of this was that the places there became representative, and for this reason Abram was commanded to go there, and the land was given to his descendants the sons of Jacob in order that the representatives of the places in accordance with which the Word was to be written, might be retained. (See n. 3686 and that for the same reason all the places there, as well as the mountains and rivers, and all the borders round about, became representative, n. 1585, 1866, 4240.)

[3] All this shows what is here meant by the “Church among the Ancients,” namely, remains from the Most Ancient Church. And as these remains existed among the Hittites and Hivites, therefore Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, together with their wives, obtained a place of burial with the Hittites in their land (Genesis 23:1-20; 49:29-32; 50:13); and Joseph with the Hivites (Josh. 24:32). Hamor the father of Shechem represented the remains of this Church, and therefore by him is signified the good of the Church among the Ancients, and consequently the origin of interior truth from a Divine stock (n. 4399). (What the distinction is between the Most Ancient Church which was before the flood, and the Ancient Church which was after the flood, may be seen above, n. 597, 607, 608, 640, 641, 765, 784, 895, 920, 1114-1128, 1238, 1327, 2896, 2897.)
