Deuteronomio 33

Studie

   

1 Y ESTA es la bendición con la cual bendijo Moisés varón de Dios á los hijos de Israel, antes que muriese.

2 Y dijo: Jehová vino de Sinaí, Y de Seir les esclareció; Resplandeció del monte de Parán, Y vino con diez mil santos: A su diestra la ley de fuego para ellos.

3 Aun amó los pueblos; Todos sus santos en tu mano: Ellos también se llegaron á tus pies: Recibieron de tus dichos.

4 Ley nos mandó Moisés, Heredad á la congregación de Jacob.

5 Y fué rey en Jeshurun, Cuando se congregaron las cabezas del pueblo Con las tribus de Israel.

6 Viva Rubén, y no muera; Y sean sus varones en número.

7 Y esta bendición para Judá. Dijo así: Oye, oh Jehová, la voz de Judá, Y llévalo á su pueblo; Sus manos le basten, Y tú seas ayuda contra sus enemigos.

8 Y a Leví dijo: Tu Thummim y tu Urim, con tu buen varón Al cual tentaste en Massa, Y le hiciste reñir en las aguas de la rencilla;

9 El que dijo á su padre y á su madre: Nunca los vi: Ni conoció á sus hermanos, Ni conoció á sus hijos: Por lo cual ellos guardarán tus palabras, Y observarán tu pacto.

10 Ellos enseñarán tus juicios á Jacob, Y tu ley á Israel; Pondrán el perfume delante de ti, Y el holocausto sobre tu altar.

11 Bendice, oh Jehová, lo que hicieren, Y recibe con agrado la obra de sus manos: Hiere los lomos de sus enemigos, Y de los que le aborrecieren; para que nunca se levanten.

12 Y á Benjamín dijo: El amado de Jehová habitará confiado cerca de él: Cubrirálo siempre, Y entre sus hombros morará.

13 Y á José dijo: Bendita de Jehová su tierra, Por los regalos de los cielos, por el rocío, Y por el abismo que abajo yace,

14 Y por los regalados frutos del sol, Y por los regalos de las influencias de las lunas,

15 Y por la cumbre de los montes antiguos, Y por los regalos de los collados eternos,

16 Y por los regalos de la tierra y su plenitud; Y la gracia del que habitó en la zarza Venga sobre la cabeza de José, Y sobre la mollera del apartado de sus hermanos.

17 El es aventajado como el primogénito de su toro, Y sus cuernos, cuernos de unicornio: Con ellos acorneará los pueblos juntos hasta los fines de la tierra: Y estos son los diez millares de Ephraim, Y estos los millares de Manasés.

18 Y á Zabulón dijo: Alégrate, Zabulón, cuando salieres: Y tu Issachâr, en tus tiendas.

19 Llamarán los pueblos al monte: Allí sacrificarán sacrificios de justicia: Por lo cual chuparán la abundancia de los mares, Y los tesoros escondidos de la arena.

20 Y a Gad dijo: Bendito el que hizo ensanchar á Gad: Como león habitará, Y arrebatará brazo y testa.

21 Y él se ha provisto de la parte primera, Porque allí una porción del legislador fuéle reservada, Y vino en la delantera del pueblo; La justicia de Jehová ejecutará, Y sus juicios con Israel.

22 Y á Dan dijo: Dan, cachorro de león: Saltará desde Basán.

23 Y á Nephtalí dijo: Nephtalí, saciado de benevolencia, Y lleno de la bendición de Jehová, Posee el occidente y el mediodía,

24 Y á Aser dijo: Bendito Aser en hijos: Agradable será á sus hermanos, Y mojará en aceite su pie.

25 Hierro y metal tu calzado, Y como tus días tu fortaleza.

26 No hay como el Dios de Jeshurun, Montado sobre los cielos para tu ayuda, Y sobre las nubes con su grandeza.

27 El eterno Dios es tu refugio Y acá abajo los brazos eternos; El echará de delante de ti al enemigo, Y dirá: Destruye.

28 E Israel, fuente de Jacob, habitará confiado solo En tierra de grano y de vino: También sus cielos destilarán rocío.

29 Bienaventurado tú, oh Israel, ¿Quién como tú, Pueblo salvo por Jehová, Escudo de tu socorro, Y espada de tu excelencia? Así que tus enemigos serán humillados, Y tú hollarás sobre sus alturas.

3580. 'And abundance of grain' means natural good from this, 'and of new wine' means natural truth from the same. This is clear from the meaning of 'grain' as good, and from the meaning of 'new wine' as truth. When these two are used in reference to the natural they mean natural good and truth, but when they are used in reference to the rational they are 'bread and wine' - 'bread' being celestial good, see 276, 680, 1798, 2165, 2177, 3464, 3478, and 'wine' that which is spiritual, namely truth deriving from good, 1071, 1798. These meanings of 'grain' and 'wine' may also be seen from the following places in the Word:

In Haggai,

The heavens have withheld their dew, and the earth has withheld its increase. And I have called for a drought over the land, and over the mountains, and over the grain, and over the new wine, and over that which the earth brings forth. Haggai 1:10-11.

Here 'a drought' stands for a lack of dew and rain, and so for a lack of truth deriving from any good. 'A drought over the grain' is the lack of good, and 'a drought over the new wine' the lack of truth.

[2] In Moses,

Israel will dwell securely, alone at Jacob's spring, in a land of grain and new wine; and his heavens will distill dew. Deuteronomy 33:28.

'Alone' stands for those who are not infested by evils and falsities, 139, 471. 'A land of grain and new wine' stands for the good and truth of the Church.

In Hosea,

I will be as the dew to Israel, he will blossom 1 as the lily, and strike root like Lebanon. His branches will go out, and his beauty will be like the olive, and his odour like that of Lebanon. Those dwelling in its shadow will turn back, they will quicken the grain and will blossom as the vine; the memory of it will be as the wine of Lebanon. Hosea 14:5-7.

Here 'the grain' stands for spiritual good, 'the wine' for spiritual truth.

In Isaiah,

A curse will consume the earth. The new wine will mourn, the vine will languish; all the merry-hearted will sigh. Isaiah 24:6-7.

This refers to the vastation of the spiritual Church. 'The new wine will mourn' stands for the fact that truth will come to an end.

[3] In Jeremiah,

Jehovah has redeemed Jacob. They will come and sing on the height of Zion, and they will converge towards the goodness of Jehovah. towards the grain, and towards the new wine, and towards the oil, and towards the young 2 of the flock and of the herd. Jeremiah 31:11-12.

'The grain' and 'the new wine' stand for good and for truth derived from good, 'the oil' for the good which is both a producer and a product of these, 'the young of the flock and of the herd' for the truth which is acquired in this manner. This being the meaning of those things they are called 'the goodness of Jehovah'.

In Hosea,

She did not know that it was I who gave her the grain and the new wine and the oil, and who multiplied the silver and the gold which they made for Baal. Therefore I will return and take back My grain and My new wine in its season, and I will snatch away My wool and My flax. Hosea 2:8-9.

This refers to the Church when perverted, and it is evident that 'grain' is not used to mean grain, nor 'new wine' new wine, nor yet oil, silver, gold, wool, and flax to mean such material things. Rather, spiritual things are meant, that is, those which consist in what is good and true.

Something similar is the case where in the same prophet a new Church is dealt with,

I will betroth you to Me in faith, and you will know Jehovah. And it will be on that day, that I shall hear the heavens, and they will hear the earth, and the earth will hear the grain, and the new wine, and the oil, and these will hear Jezreel. Hosea 2:20-22.

'Jezreel' stands for a new Church.

In Joel,

Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the new wine that has been cut off from your mouth. The field has been laid waste, the land is mourning because the grain has been laid waste; the new wine has dried up, the oil languishes. Joel 1:5, 10.

[4] In the same prophet,

Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God, for He has given you the morning rain for righteousness, and will cause the morning and the evening rain to come down on you in the first [month]. And the threshing-floors will be full of perfect grain, and the presses will overflow with new wine and oil. Joel 2:23-24.

In the same prophet,

It will happen on that day, that the mountains will drip new wine, and the hills will flow with milk, and all the streams of Judah will flow with water, and a spring will come forth from the house of Jehovah. Joel 3:18.

This refers to the Lord's kingdom, it being spiritual things that are meant by 'new wine', 'milk', and 'water', the abundance of which is being described in this fashion.

In Zechariah,

Jehovah their God will serve them on that day, as a flock His people. For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins. Zechariah 9:16-17.

In David,

You visit the earth and delight in it; You greatly enrich it; the stream of God is full of water; You prepare their grain. The meadows clothe themselves with flocks, and the valleys are covered over with grain; let them clap their hands, let them also sing. Psalms 65:9, 13.

From all these places it is now evident what 'grain' is and what 'new wine' is.
