1 Y éstos son los nombres de las tribus: Desde la parte del norte por la vía de Hetlón viniendo a Hamat, Hazar-enán, al término de Damasco, al norte, al término de Hamat, tendrá Dan una parte , siendo sus extremidades al oriente y al occidente.

2 Y junto al término de Dan, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, tendrá Aser una parte .

3 Y junto al término de Aser, desde el lado oriental hasta la parte del mar tendrá Neftalí, otra.

4 Y junto al término de Neftalí, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Manasés, otra.

5 Y junto al término de Manasés, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Efraín, otra.

6 Y junto al término de Efraín, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Rubén, otra.

7 Y junto al término de Rubén, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Judá, otra.

8 Y junto al término de Judá, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, será la suerte que apartaréis de veinticinco mil cañas de anchura, y de longitud como cualquiera de las otras partes es a saber , desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar; y el Santuario estará en medio de ella.

9 La suerte que apartaréis para el SEÑOR, será de longitud de veinticinco mil cañas , y de diez mil de ancho.

10 Y allí será la suerte santa de los sacerdotes, de veinticinco mil cañas al norte, y de diez mil de anchura al occidente, y de diez mil de ancho al oriente, y de veinticinco mil de longitud al Mediodía; y el Santuario del SEÑOR estará en medio de ella.

11 Los sacerdotes santificados de los hijos de Sadoc, que guardaron mi observancia, que no erraron cuando erraron los hijos de Israel, como erraron los levitas.

12 Ellos tendrán por suerte , apartada en la partición de la tierra, la parte santísima, junto al término de los levitas.

13 Y la de los levitas, será delante del término de los sacerdotes, de veinticinco mil cañas de longitud, y de diez mil de anchura; toda la longitud de veinticinco mil, y la anchura de diez mil.

14 No venderán de ello, ni permutarán, ni traspasarán las primicias de la tierra; porque es consagrado al SEÑOR.

15 Y las cinco mil cañas de anchura que quedan de las veinticinco mil, serán profanas, para la ciudad, para habitación y para ejido; y la ciudad estará en medio.

16 Y éstas serán sus medidas: a la parte del norte cuatro mil quinientas cañas , y a la parte del mediodía cuatro mil quinientas, y a la parte del oriente cuatro mil quinientas, y a la parte del occidente cuatro mil quinientas.

17 Y el ejido de la ciudad será al norte de doscientas cincuenta cañas , y al occidente de doscientas cincuenta.

18 Y lo que quedare de longitud delante de la suerte santa, que son diez mil cañas al oriente y diez mil al occidente, que será lo que quedará de la suerte santa, será para sembrar pan para los que sirven a la ciudad.

19 Y los que servirán a la ciudad, serán de todas las tribus de Israel.

20 Todo el apartado de veinticinco mil cañas por veinticinco mil en cuadro, apartaréis por suerte para el santuario, y para la posesión de la ciudad.

21 Y del príncipe será lo que quedare de una parte y de la otra de la suerte santa, y de la posesión de la ciudad, es a saber , delante de las veinticinco mil cañas de la suerte santa hasta el término oriental, y al occidente delante de las veinticinco mil hasta el término occidental, delante de las partes dichas será del príncipe; y suerte santa será; y el Santuario de la Casa estará en medio de ella.

22 Y desde la posesión de los Levitas, y desde la posesión de la ciudad, en medio estará lo que pertenecerá al príncipe. Entre el término de Judá y el término de Benjamín estará la suerte del príncipe.

23 En cuanto a las demás tribus, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, tendrá Benjamín una parte.

24 Y junto al término de Benjamín, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Simeón, otra.

25 Y junto al término de Simeón, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Isacar, otra.

26 Y junto al término de Isacar, desde la parte del oriente hasta la parte del mar, Zabulón, otra.

28 Y junto al término de Gad, a la parte del mediodía, al mediodía, será el término desde Tamar hasta las aguas de las rencillas, y desde Cades y el arroyo hasta el gran mar.

29 Esta es la tierra que partiréis por suertes en heredad a las tribus de Israel, y éstas son sus partes, dijo el Señor DIOS.

30 Y éstas son las salidas de la ciudad a la parte del norte, cuatro mil quinientas cañas por medida.

31 Y las puertas de la ciudad serán según los nombres de las tribus de Israel, tres puertas al norte: la puerta de Rubén, una; la puerta de Judá, otra; la puerta de Leví, otra.

32 Y a la parte del oriente cuatro mil quinientas cañas , y tres puertas: la puerta de José, una; la puerta de Benjamín, otra; la puerta de Dan, otra.

33 Y a la parte del mediodía, cuatro mil quinientas cañas por medida, y tres puertas: la puerta de Simeón, una; la puerta de Isacar, otra; la puerta de Zabulón, otra.

34 Y a la parte del occidente cuatro mil quinientas cañas , y sus tres puertas: la puerta de Gad, una; la puerta de Aser, otra; la puerta de Neftalí, otra.

35 En derredor tendrá dieciocho mil cañas . Y el nombre de la ciudad desde aquel día será EL SEÑOR ESTA AQUI.

904. 21:15 And he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. This symbolically means that to people who possess the goodness of love, the Lord grants a faculty for understanding and knowing the nature of the Lord's New Church as regards its doctrine and its introductory truths, and as regards the Word from which they are drawn.

He who spoke with me symbolizes the Lord speaking from heaven, because it was an angel speaking, one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls mentioned in verse 9, who means the Lord speaking from heaven (no. 895). A reed symbolizes a power or ability springing from the goodness of love - a reed symbolizing power or ability (no. 485), and gold the goodness of love (nos. 211, 726). To measure means, symbolically, to learn the character of a thing, thus to understand and know it (no. 486). The city, the holy Jerusalem, symbolizes the church in respect to its doctrine (nos. 879, 880). Its gates symbolize concepts of truth and goodness from the Word's literal sense, which are truths and goods owing to the spiritual life in them (no. 899). And the wall symbolizes the Word in its literal sense from which the doctrine and concepts come (no. 898).

It is apparent from this that "he who talked with me had a gold reed to measure the city, its gates, and its wall," symbolically means that to people who possess the goodness of love, the Lord grants a faculty for understanding and knowing the nature of the Lord's New Church as regards its doctrine and its introductory truths, and as regards the Word from which they are drawn.

[2] These symbolic meanings cannot be seen at all in the literal sense, for one sees in it only that an angel speaking with John had a gold reed with which to measure the city and its gates and wall. But even so, that these words contain another meaning, a spiritual meaning, is clearly apparent from the fact that the city Jerusalem does not mean a real city, but the church. Consequently everything said about Jerusalem as a city symbolizes such things as have to do with the church, and everything having to do with the church is, in itself, spiritual.

Such a spiritual meaning is present also in what is said in chapter 11 above, where we are told the following:

I was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood by, saying, "Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there." (Revelation 11:1)

A similar spiritual meaning is present, too, in everything that the angel measured with a reed in Ezekiel 40; 41; 42; 43; 44; 45; 46; 47; 48. Also in these verses in Zechariah:

I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what its width is and what its length." (Zechariah 2:1-2)

Indeed, such a spiritual meaning is present in everything connected with the Tabernacle and in everything connected with the Temple in Jerusalem, whose measurements we are told, and also in the measurements themselves. And yet nothing of this can be seen in the literal sense.

Ezekiel 46

Studie

   

1 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: The gate of the inner court that looks toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the Sabbath day it shall be opened, and on the day of the new moon it shall be opened.

2 The prince shall enter by the way of the porch of the gate outside, and shall stand by the post of the gate; and the priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, and he shall worship at the threshold of the gate: then he shall go forth; but the gate shall not be shut until the evening.

3 The people of the land shall worship at the door of that gate before Yahweh on the Sabbaths and on the new moons.

4 The burnt offering that the prince shall offer to Yahweh shall be on the Sabbath day six lambs without blemish and a ram without blemish;

5 and the meal offering shall be an ephah for the ram, and the meal offering for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

6 On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull without blemish, and six lambs, and a ram; they shall be without blemish:

7 and he shall prepare a meal offering, an ephah for the bull, and an ephah for the ram, and for the lambs according as he is able, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

8 When the prince shall enter, he shall go in by the way of the porch of the gate, and he shall go forth by its way.

9 But when the people of the land shall come before Yahweh in the appointed feasts, he who enters by the way of the north gate to worship shall go forth by the way of the south gate; and he who enters by the way of the south gate shall go forth by the way of the north gate: he shall not return by the way of the gate by which he came in, but shall go forth straight before him.

10 The prince, when they go in, shall go in with of them; and when they go out, he shall go out.

11 In the feasts and in the solemnities the meal offering shall be an ephah for a bull, and an ephah for a ram, and for the lambs as he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

12 When the prince shall prepare a freewill offering, a burnt offering or peace offerings as a freewill offering to Yahweh, one shall open for him the gate that looks toward the east; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings, as he does on the Sabbath day: then he shall go forth; and after his going forth one shall shut the gate.

13 You shall prepare a lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily: morning by morning you shall prepare it.

14 You shall prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah, and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour; a meal offering to Yahweh continually by a perpetual ordinance.

15 Thus shall they prepare the lamb, and the meal offering, and the oil, morning by morning, for a continual burnt offering.

16 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: If the prince give a gift to any of his sons, it is his inheritance, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

17 But if he give of his inheritance a gift to one of his servants, it shall be his to the year of liberty; then it shall return to the prince; but as for his inheritance, it shall be for his sons.

18 Moreover the prince shall not take of the people's inheritance, to thrust them out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his possession.

19 Then he brought me through the entry, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy rooms for the priests, which looked toward the north: and behold, there was a place on the hinder part westward.

20 He said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, [and] where they shall bake the meal offering; that they not bring them forth into the outer court, to sanctify the people.

21 Then he brought me forth into the outer court, and caused me to pass by the four corners of the court; and behold, in every corner of the court there was a court.

22 In the four corners of the court there were courts enclosed, forty [cubits] long and thirty broad: these four in the corners were of one measure.

23 There was a wall around in them, around the four, and boiling places were made under the walls all around.

24 Then he said to me, These are the boiling houses, where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifice of the people.
