Sudije 1

Studie

1 A po smrti Isusovoj upitaše sinovi Izrailjevi Gospoda govoreći: Ko će između nas ići prvi na Hananeje da se bije s njima?

2 I Gospod reče: Juda neka ide; eto dao sam mu zemlju u ruke.

3 A Juda reče Simeunu bratu svom: Hajde sa mnom na moj deo da se bijemo s Hananejima; pak ću i ja ići s tobom na tvoj deo. I pođe Simeun s njim.

4 I iziđe Juda; i dade im Gospod Hananeje i Ferezeje u ruke, i pobiše ih u Vezeku deset hiljada ljudi.

5 Jer nađoše Adoni-Vezeka u Vezeku, i udariše na nj, i pobiše Hananeje i Ferezeje.

6 I pobeže Adoni-Vezek, a oni ga poteraše i uhvativši ga odsekoše mu palce u ruku i u nogu.

7 Tada reče Adoni-Vezek: Sedamdeset careva odsečenih palaca u ruku i u nogu kupiše šta beše pod mojim stolom; kako sam činio, tako mi plati Bog. I odvedoše ga u Jerusalim, i onde umre.

8 Jer sinovi Judini udariše na Jerusalim i uzeše ga, i isekoše građane oštrim mačem, a grad sažegoše ognjem.

9 Potom iziđoše sinovi Judini da vojuju na Hananeje, koji življahu u gori i na jugu i u ravni.

10 I Juda iziđe na Hananeje koji življahu u Hevronu, a Hevronu beše pre ime Kirijat-Arva; i pobiše Sesaja i Ahimana i Talmaja.

11 A odatle otidoše na Davirane, a Daviru pre beše ime Kirijat-Sefer.

12 I reče Halev: Ko savlada Kirijat-Sefer i uzme ga, daću mu Ahsu kćer svoju za ženu.

13 I uze ga Gotonilo, sin Kenezov, mlađi brat Halevov; i dade mu Ahsu kćer svoju za ženu.

14 I kad polažaše, nagovaraše je da ište u oca njenog polje: Pa skoči s magarca. A Halev joj reče: Šta ti je?

15 A ona mu reče: Daj mi dar; kad si mi dao suvu zemlju, daj mi i izvore vodene. I dade joj Halev izvore gornje i izvore donje.

16 A i sinovi Keneja tasta Mojsijevog iziđoše iz grada palmovog sa sinovima Judinim u pustinju Judinu, koja je na jugu od Arada. I došavši življahu s narodom.

17 Potom iziđe Juda sa Simeunom bratom svojim, i pobiše Hananeje koji življahu u Sefatu, i raskopaše ga, i prozva se grad Orma.

18 I Gazu uze Juda s međama njenim, i Askalon s međama njegovim, i Akaron s međama njegovim.

19 Jer Gospod beše s Judom, te osvoji goru; ali ne izagna one koji življahu u dolini, jer imahu gvozdena kola.

20 I dadoše Halevu Hevron, kao što beše zapovedio Mojsije, a on izagna odande tri sina Enakova.

21 A sinovi Venijaminovi ne izagnaše Jevuseja koji življahu u Jerusalimu; nego Jevuseji ostaše u Jerusalimu sa sinovima Venijaminovim do ovog dana.

22 Iziđoše i sinovi Josifovi na Vetilj, i Gospod beše s njima.

23 I uhodiše Vetilj sinovi Josifovi, a ime gradu beše pre Luz.

24 I uhode videše čoveka koji iđaše iz grada i rekoše mu: Hajde pokaži nam kuda ćemo ući u grad, pa ćemo ti učiniti milost.

25 A on im pokaza kuda će ući u grad: i isekoše u gradu sve oštrim mačem, a onog čoveka pustiše sa svom porodicom njegovom.

26 I otide onaj čovek u zemlju hetejsku, i onde sazida grad, i prozva ga Luz; to mu je ime do danas.

27 A Manasija ne izagna stanovnike iz Vet-Sana i sela njegovih, ni iz Tanaha i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Dora i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Ivleama i sela njegovih, ni stanovnike iz Megida i sela njegovih; i Hananeji stadoše živeti u toj zemlji.

28 A kad ojača Izrailj, udari na Hananeje danak, ali ih ne izagna.

29 Ni Jefrem ne izagna Hananeje koji življahu u Gezeru; nego ostaše Hananeji s njim u Gezeru.

30 Zavulon ne izagna stanovnike iz Kitrona, ni stanovnike iz Nalola; nego ostaše Hananeji s njim, i plaćahu danak.

31 Asir ne izagna stanovnike iz Akona, ni stanovnike iz Sidona ni iz Alava, ni iz Ahaziva, ni iz Helve, ni iz Afika, ni iz Reova;

32 Nego Asir življaše među Hananejima, stanovnicima one zemlje, jer ih ne izagna.

33 Neftalim ne izagna stanovnike iz Vet-Semesa, ni stanovnike iz Vet-Anata; nego življaše među Hananejima stanovnicima one zemlje; i stanovnici u Vet-Semesu i u Vet-Anatu plaćahu im danak.

34 A Amoreji pritešnjavahu sinove Danove u gori, i ne davahu im silaziti u dolinu.

35 I Amoreji stadoše živeti u gori Eresu, u Ajalonu i u Salvimu; a kad osili ruka doma Josifovog, plaćaše danak.

36 A međa Amorejima beše od gore akravimske, od stene pa naviše.

459. Verse 10. And crying with a great voice, signifies adoration from the good of truth and from consequent joy of heart. This is evident from the signification of "crying with a great voice," as being adoration from the good of truth and from consequent joy of heart; for "to cry" signifies interior affection since crying is an effect of such affection; for when man is in interior affection, and from that comes into confession, he cries out; it is from this that "crying" signifies in the Word all spiritual affection, whether of joy or of grief, or some other affection (See above, n. 393, 424). Here adoration from the good of truth is signified, as is evident from what precedes and what follows; from what precedes because it is said "palms in their hands," which signifies the good of truth in such (as has been shown just above); and from what follows because they cried out, "Salvation unto our God who sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb; and the angels, the elders, and the four animals, fell down before the throne and worshiped God." Furthermore, all adoration of the Lord, which is confession, is from the good of truth, that is, from good through truths. "A great voice" also signifies truth from good; "voice" signifies truth, and "great" is predicated of good. (That "voice" signifies truth may be seen above, n. 261 and that "great" and "greatness" are predicated of good see also above, n. 336, 337, 424).

Apocalypse Explained # 72

72. Verse 16. And having in His right hand seven stars, signifies all knowledges of good and truth from Him. This is evident from the signification of "having in His right hand," as being from Him; for "hand" signifies power, thus it signifies whatever pertains to one, and so also whatever is from him. It is said "right hand," because "right hand" signifies the power of good through truth. (That "hand" signifies power, see Arcana Coelestia, n. Arcana Coelestia 878, 3091, 4931-4937, 6947, 10019; and consequently that it signifies whatever pertains to one, and so also whatever is from him, 9133, 10019, 10405; that the "right hand" signifies the power of good through truth, see n. 9604, 9736, 10061; and that "the right hand of Jehovah" signifies the Lord's Divine power, thus omnipotence, see n. 3387, 4592, 4933, 7518, 7673, 8281, 9133, 10019.) This is evident also from the signification of "stars," as being the knowledges of good and truth, of which more in what follows; and from the signification of "seven," as being all (See above, n. 20, 24).

[2] That "stars" signify the knowledges of good and truth, thus goods and truths, is from the appearance in the spiritual world; for there the Lord appears as a sun, and angels from afar off as stars. Angels appear thus from their reception of light from the Lord as a sun, thus from their reception of Divine truth, which is from the Lord, for this is the light of heaven. From this it is that it is said in Daniel:

The intelligent shall shine as the brightness of the expanse; and they that justify many, as the stars for ever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

The "intelligent" are they that are in truths, and "they that justify" are those that are in good (See the work on Heaven and Hell 346-348).

[3] When it is known to any that the "sun" signifies the Lord in respect to Divine love, thus also Divine love from the Lord, and that "stars" signify the truths of the church and knowledges thereof, these can also know what is signified in the Word where it is said that "the sun shall be darkened," and that "the stars shall not give light," also that they "shall fall from heaven;" and also what "stars" signify when mentioned elsewhere in the Word, as in the following passages. In Isaiah:

I will make the land a waste, and destroy the sinners thereof out of it; the stars of the heaven and the constellations thereof shall not shine forth with their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not make bright her light (Isaiah 13:9-10).

The vastation of the church is here treated of, which is when there is no good of love any more, nor any truths of faith. The "land" that shall be laid waste is the church; the "land" is the church (as may be seen above, n. 29.

[4] In Ezekiel:

When I shall extinguish thee I will cover the heavens, and will make the stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not make her light to shine; all the luminaries of light will I make dark over thee, and I will set darkness upon the land (Ezekiel 32:7-8

"Darkness upon the land" means falsities in the church. In Joel:

The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars withdraw their brightness (Joel 2:10-11; 3:15).

In Matthew:

In the consummation of the age, after the affliction of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken (Matthew 24:29; Mark 13:24).

In Daniel:

From one of the horns of the he-goat went forth a horn, a little one, and it waxed exceeding great towards the south, and towards the east, and towards splendor; and it waxed great towards the host of the heavens; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down and trampled upon them. Yea, it magnified itself even to the Prince of the host (Daniel 8:9-11).

By the "host of the heavens" the goods and truths of the church in the complex are meant (See Arcana Coelestia 3448, 7236, 7988, 8019); in particular, such as combat against falsities (See n. 7277). From this Jehovah is called "Jehovah Zebaoth," that is, Jehovah of Hosts (See n. 3448, 7988).

[5] In Revelation:

The dragon with his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven to the earth (Revelation 12:4).

The "stars" here also are the goods and truths of the church, and the knowledges thereof; the "third part" is the greater part; but what is signified by the "dragon" will be told in what follows. In the same:

The stars of heaven fell unto the earth (Revelation 6:13).

In the same:

A star from heaven is fallen unto the earth (Revelation 9:1).

In the same:

There fell from heaven a great star burning as a torch; it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters (Revelation 8:10).

As "stars" signify the goods and truths of the church and the knowledges thereof, by their "falling from heaven" is signified that these perish. In David:

Jehovah telleth the number of the stars, He calleth them all by names (Psalms 147:4).

In the same:

Praise ye Jehovah, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light (Psalms 148:3).

In the book of Judges:

The kings came, they fought from heaven; the stars in their courses fought (Judges 5:19-20).

Since the angels in the spiritual heaven shine as stars, and since all the truths and goods that are with the angels are from the Lord, therefore the Lord, as He is called an "Angel," is likewise called a "Star," as in Moses:

There shall arise a star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall arise out of Israel (Numbers 24:17).

In Revelation:

Jesus, the bright and morning Star (Revelation 22:16).

From this it can be seen:

Why the wise men from the east saw a star, and followed it, and why it stood where Jesus had been born (Matthew 2:1-2, 9).

From this it can now be known what is signified by the "seven stars" that were in the right hand of the Son of man, who there is the Lord in respect to the Divine Human (See above, n. 63).
