Sudije 3

Studie

   

1 A ovo su narodi koje ostavi Gospod da njima kuša Izrailj, sve one koji ne znahu za ratove hananske,

2 Da bi barem nasleđe sinova Izrailjevih znalo i razumelo šta je rat, barem oni koji od pre nisu znali:

3 Pet kneževina filistejskih, i svi Hananeji i Sidonci i Jeveji, koji življahu na gori Livanu od gore Val-Ermona do Emata.

4 Ti narodi ostaše da se Izrailj njima kuša, da se vidi hoće li slušati zapovesti Gospodnje, koje je zapovedio ocima njihovim preko Mojsija.

5 I življahu sinovi Izrailjevi usred Hananeja i Heteja i Amoreja i Ferezeja i Jeveja i Jevuseja.

6 I ženjahu se kćerima njihovim i udavahu kćeri svoje za sinove njihove, i služahu bogovima njihovim.

7 I činjahu sinovi Izrailjevi što je zlo pred Gospodom, i zaboraviše Gospoda Boga svog i služahu Valima i lugovima.

8 Zato se razgnevi Gospod na Izrailja, i dade ih u ruke Husan-Risatajimu caru mesopotamskom; i služaše sinovi Izrailjevi Husan-Risatajimu osam godina.

9 Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu, i podiže Gospod izbavitelja sinovima Izrailjevim da ih izbavi, Gotonila sina Kenezovog, mlađeg brata Halevovog,

10 I beše na njemu duh Gospodnji, i suđaše Izrailju; i iziđe na vojsku, i predade mu Gospod u ruke Husan-Risatajima cara mesopotamskog; i ruka njegova nadjača Husan-Risatajima.

11 I zemlja bi mirna četrdeset godina. Potom umre Gotonilo sin Kenezov.

12 A sinovi Izrailjevi stadoše opet činiti što je zlo pred Gospodom; a Gospod ukrepi Eglona cara moavskog na Izrailja, jer činjahu što je zlo pred Gospodom.

13 Jer skupi k sebi sinove Amonove i Amalike, i izašavši pobi Izrailja, i osvojiše grad palmov.

14 I sinovi Izrailjevi služiše Eglonu caru moavskom osamnaest godina.

15 Potom vapiše sinovi Izrailjevi ka Gospodu; i Gospod im podiže izbavitelja Aoda sina Gire sina Venijaminovog, čoveka koji beše levak. I poslaše sinovi Izrailjevi po njemu dar Eglonu caru moavskom.

16 A Aod načini sebi mač sa obe strane oštar, od lakta u dužinu; i pripasa ga pod haljine svoje uz desnu bedricu.

17 I odnese dar Eglonu caru moavskom; a Eglon beše čovek vrlo debeo.

18 I kad predade dar, otpusti ljude koji su nosili dar.

19 Pa sam vrati se od likova kamenih, koji behu kod Galgala, reče: Imam, care, neku tajnu da ti kažem. A on reče: Ćuti! I otidoše od njega svi koji stajahu pred njim.

20 A Aod pristupi k njemu; a on seđaše sam u letnjoj sobi; pa reče Aod: Reč Božju imam da ti kažem. Tada on usta s prestola.

21 A Aod poteže levom rukom svojom i uze mač od desne bedrice i satera mu ga u trbuh,

22 I držak uđe za mačem, i salo se sklopi za mačem, te ne može izvući mača iz trbuha; i iziđe nečist.

23 Potom iziđe Aod iz sobe, i zatvori vrata za sobom i zaključa.

24 A kad on otide, dođoše sluge, i pogledaše, a to vrata od sobe zaključana, pa rekoše: Valjda ide napolje u kleti do letnje sobe.

25 I većim se dosadi čekati a vrata se od sobe ne otvaraju, te uzeše ključ i otvoriše, a gle, gospodar im leži na zemlji mrtav.

26 A Aod dokle se oni zabaviše pobeže i prođe likove kamene, i uteče u Seriot.

27 A kad dođe, zatrubi u trubu u gori Jefremovoj; i siđoše s njim sinovi Izrailjevi s gore, a on napred.

28 Pa im reče: Hajdete za mnom, jer Gospod predade vam u ruke neprijatelje vaše Moavce. I siđoše za njim, i uzeše Moavcima brodove jordanske, i ne davahu nikome preći.

29 I tada pobiše Moavce, oko deset hiljada ljudi, sve bogate i hrabre, i ni jedan ne uteče.

30 Tako u taj dan potpadoše Moavci pod ruku Izrailjevu; i zemlja bi mirna osamdeset godina.

31 A posle njega nasta Samegar sin Anatov, i pobi šest stotina Filisteja ostanom volujskim, i izbavi i on Izrailja.

1444. And the Canaanite was then in the land. That this signifies the evil heredity from the mother, in His external man, is evident from what has been already said concerning that which was inherited by the Lord; for He was born as are other men, and inherited evils from the mother, against which He fought, and which He overcame. It is well known that the Lord underwent and endured the most grievous temptations (concerning which, of the Lord’s Divine mercy hereafter), temptations so great that He fought alone and by His own power against the whole of hell. No one can undergo temptation unless evil adheres to him; he who has no evil cannot have the least temptation; evil is what the infernal spirits excite.

[2] In the Lord there was not any evil that was actual, or His own, as there is in all men, but there was hereditary evil from the mother, which is here called “the Canaanite then in the land.” Concerning this, see what was said above, at verse 1 n. 1414), namely, that there are two hereditary natures connate in man, one from the father, the other from the mother; that which is from the father remains to eternity, but that which is from the mother is dispersed by the Lord while the man is being regenerated. The Lord’s hereditary nature from His Father, however, was the Divine. His heredity from the mother was evil, and this is treated of here, and is that through which He underwent temptations (see Mark 1:12-13; Matthew 4:1; Luke 4:1-2). But, as already said, He had no evil that was actual, or His own, nor had He any hereditary evil from the mother after He had overcome hell by means of temptations; on which account it is here said that there was such evil at that time, that is, that the “Canaanite was then in the land.”

[3] The Canaanites were those who dwelt by the sea and by the coast of Jordan, as is evident in Moses. The spies on their return said:

We came unto the land whither thou sentest us, and surely it floweth with milk and honey, and this is the fruit of it. Howbeit the people that dwelleth in the land is strong, and the cities are fenced, very great; and moreover we saw the children of Anak there; Amalek dwelleth in the south; and the Hittite and the Jebusite and the Amorite dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanite dwelleth by the sea, and by the coast of Jordan (Numbers 13:27-29).

That the Canaanites dwelt by the sea and by the coast of Jordan, signified evil thence in the external man, such as is the heredity from the mother; for the sea and the Jordan were boundaries.

[4] That such evil is signified by “the Canaanite,” is also evident in Zechariah:

In that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of Jehovah Zebaoth (Zechariah 14:21); where the Lord’s kingdom is treated of, and it is signified that the Lord will conquer the evil meant by the Canaanite and will expel it from His kingdom. All kinds of evils are signified by the idolatrous nations in the land of Canaan, among which were the Canaanites (see Genesis 15:15, 19, 21; Exodus 3:8; 3:17; 23:23; 23:28; 33:2; 34:11; Deuteronomy 7:1; 20:17; Joshua 3:10; 24:11; Judges 3:5). What evil is signified by each nation specifically, shall of the Lord’s Divine mercy be told elsewhere.
