Deuteronomio 23

Studie

   

1 No entrará en la congregación del SEÑOR el que fuere quebrado, ni el castrado.

2 No entrará bastardo en la congregación del SEÑOR; ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación del SEÑOR.

3 No entrará amonita ni moabita en la congregación del SEÑOR; ni aun en la décima generación entrará en la congregación del SEÑOR para siempre;

4 por cuanto no os salieron a recibir con pan y agua al camino, cuando salisteis de Egipto; y porque alquiló contra ti a Balaam hijo de Beor de Petor de Mesopotamia de Siria, para que te maldijese.

5 Mas no quiso el SEÑOR tu Dios oír a Balaam; y el SEÑOR tu Dios te volvió la maldición en bendición, porque el SEÑOR tu Dios te amaba.

6 No procurarás la paz de ellos ni su bien en todos los días para siempre.

7 No abominarás al idumeo, que tu hermano es; no abominarás al egipcio, que extranjero fuiste en su tierra.

8 Los hijos que nacieren de ellos, a la tercera generación entrarán en la congregación del SEÑOR.

9 Cuando salieres a campaña contra tus enemigos, guárdate de toda cosa mala.

10 Cuando hubiere en ti alguno que no fuere limpio por accidente de noche, se saldrá del campamento, y no entrará en él.

11 Y será que al declinar de la tarde se lavará con agua, y cuando fuere puesto el sol, entrará en el campamento.

12 Y tendrás un lugar fuera del real, y saldrás allá fuera;

13 tendrás también una estaca entre tus armas; y será que, cuando estuvieres allí fuera, cavarás con ella, y luego al volverte cubrirás tu excremento;

14 porque el SEÑOR tu Dios anda en medio de tu campamento, para librarte y para entregar tus enemigos delante de ti; por tanto tu campamento será santo; para que él no vea en ti cosa inmunda, y se vuelva de en pos de ti.

15 No entregarás a su señor el siervo que se huyere a ti de su amo.

16 More contigo, en su tierra, en el lugar que escogiere en alguna de tus ciudades, donde bien le estuviere; no le harás fuerza.

17 No habrá ramera de las hijas de Israel, ni habrá sodomita de los hijos de Israel.

18 No traerás precio de ramera, ni precio de perro (sodomita ) a la casa del SEÑOR tu Dios por ningún voto; porque abominación es al SEÑOR tu Dios así lo uno como lo otro.

19 No tomarás de tu hermano logro de dinero, ni logro de comida, ni logro de cosa alguna que se suele tomar.

20 Del extraño tomarás logro, mas de tu hermano no lo tomarás, para que te bendiga el SEÑOR tu Dios en toda obra de tus manos sobre la tierra a la cual entras para heredarla.

21 Cuando prometieres voto al SEÑOR tu Dios, no tardarás en pagarlo; porque ciertamente lo demandará el SEÑOR tu Dios de ti, y habría en ti pecado.

22 Mas cuando te abstuvieres de prometer, no habrá en ti pecado.

23 Guardarás lo que tus labios pronunciaren; y harás, como prometiste al SEÑOR tu Dios, lo que de tu voluntad hablaste por tu boca.

24 Cuando entrares en la viña de tu prójimo, comerás uvas hasta saciar tu deseo; mas no pondrás en tu vaso.

25 Cuando entrares en la mies de tu prójimo, podrás cortar espigas con tu mano; mas no aplicarás hoz a la mies de tu prójimo.

4236. 'And Jacob said [when he saw them], This is God's camp' means heaven. 'God's camp' means heaven, for the reason that 'an army' means truths and goods, 3448, and goods and truths are arranged by the Lord in conformity with heavenly order. Hence the arrangement of them like armies when arrayed is meant by 'an encampment', and the heavenly order itself, which is heaven, by 'a camp'. This camp or order is such that it cannot in any way be broken apart by hell, despite the constant effort from hell to break it apart. This also is why this order, which is heaven, is referred to as 'a camp', and why truths and goods, that is, angels, who are arranged in conformity with that order are called 'armies'. From all this it is now evident how 'God's camp' comes to mean heaven. It is that actual order, and so heaven itself, which was represented by the encampments of the children of Israel in the wilderness; and their actual dwelling together there according to their tribes was referred to as 'the camp'. The Tabernacle pitched in the middle and around which they encamped represented the Lord Himself. Regarding the children of Israel's encampment in this manner, see Numbers 1:1-end, and 33:2-56; and regarding their encampment around the Tabernacle according to their tribes - Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun to the east; Reuben, Simeon, and Gad to the south; Ephraim, Manasseh, and Benjamin to the west; Dan, Asher, and Naphtali to the north; and the Levites in the middle next to the Tabernacle - Numbers 2:2 and following verses.

[2] The tribes' means all goods and truths in their entirety, see 3858, 3862, 3926, 3939, 4060. Consequently when Balaam saw Israel dwelling according to tribes and the Spirit of God came upon him, he delivered the utterance,

How good your tabernacles are, O Jacob; your dwelling-places, O Israel! They are like valleys that are planted, like gardens beside a river. Numbers 24:2-3, 5-6.

It is quite plain that this prophecy did not mean the people named Jacob and Israel but that it was the Lord's heaven which was represented. This also is why in other places in the Word their ordered settlements in the wilderness, or encampments according to tribes, are called camps, and in those places 'a camp' in the internal sense means heavenly order and 'encampment' an arrangement in conformity with that order, that is to say, with the order in which goods and truths exist in heaven - as in Leviticus 4:12; 8:17; 13:46; 14:8; 16:26, 28; 24:14, 23; Numbers 3; 4:4 and following verses; 5:2-4; Numbers 9:17-end; 10:1-10, 28; 11:31-32; 12:14-15; 31:19-24; Deuteronomy 23:9-14.

[3] The meaning of 'God's camp' as heaven may also be seen in Joel,

The earth quaked before Him, the heavens trembled. The sun and the moon were darkened, and the stars gathered back their shining; and Jehovah gave voice before His army, for His camp is exceedingly many; for that which executes His word is uncountable. Joel 2:10-11.

In Zechariah,

I will encamp by My house with an army set against anyone passing through and against anyone leaving, so that the oppressor passes over them no more. Zechariah 9:8.

In John,

Gog and Magog went up over the breadth 1 of the earth, and surrounded the camp of the saints, and the beloved city; but fire came down 2 from God and consumed them. Revelation 20:9.

'Gog and Magog' stands for people whose worship is external separated from internal - worship that has become idolatrous, 1151. 'The breadth of the earth' stands for truth possessed by the Church - 'breadth', or a plain, meaning truth that constitutes doctrinal teaching, 2450, and 'earth' the Church, 556, 662, 1066, 1067, 1850, 2117, 2118, 3355. 'The camp of the saints' stands for heaven or the Lord's kingdom on earth, which is the Church.

[4] Since most things in the Word also have a contrary sense, so too does the word 'camp'. In this case it means evils and falsities, and consequently hell, as in David,

Though the evil pitch camp against me, my heart will not fear. Psalms 27:3.

In the same author,

God has scattered the bones of those encamping against you; 3 you have put them to shame, for God has rejected them. Psalms 53:5.

The camp of Asshur in which the angel of Jehovah smote a hundred and eighty-five thousand, Isaiah 37:36, does not have any other meaning, nor likewise does the camp of the Egyptians, Exodus 14:19-20.

Poznámky pod čarou:

1. literally, the plain

2. The Latin means went up, but the Greek means came down, which Swedenborg has in another place where he quotes this verse.

3. The Latin means me, but the Hebrew means you.
