Deuteronomio 1

Studie

1 Ito ang mga salita na sinalita ni Moises sa buong Israel sa dako roon ng Jordan sa ilang, sa Araba na katapat ng Suph, sa pagitan ng Paran, at ng Thopel, at ng Laban, at ng Haseroth, at ng Di-zahab.

2 Labing isang araw na lakbayin mula sa Horeb kung dadaan ng bundok ng Seir hanggang sa Cades-barnea.

3 At nangyari nang ikaapat na pung taon, nang ikalabing isang buwan, nang unang araw ng buwan, na nagsalita si Moises sa mga anak ni Israel, tungkol sa lahat na ibinigay sa kaniyang utos ng Panginoon sa kanila;

4 Pagkatapos na kaniyang masaktan si Sehon na hari ng mga Amorrheo, na tumatahan sa Hesbon, at si Og na hari sa Basan, na tumatahan sa Astarot sa Edrei:

5 Sa dako roon ng Jordan, sa lupain ng Moab, pinasimulan ni Moises na ipinahayag ang kautusang ito, na sinasabi,

6 Ang Panginoon nating Dios ay nagsalita sa atin sa Horeb, na nagsasabi, Kayo'y nakatahan ng malaon sa bundok na ito:

7 Pumihit kayo, at kayo'y maglakbay, at kayo'y pumaroon sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo, at sa lahat ng mga dakong malapit, sa Araba, sa lupaing maburol, at sa mababang lupain, at sa Timugan, at sa baybayin ng dagat, sa lupain ng mga Cananeo at sa Lebano, hanggang sa malaking ilog, na ilog Eufrates.

8 Narito, aking inilagay ang lupain sa harap ninyo: inyong pasukin at ariin ang lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa inyong mga magulang, kay Abraham, kay Isaac, at kay Jacob, na ibibigay sa kanila at sa kanilang binhi pagkamatay nila.

9 At ako'y nagsalita sa inyo nang panahong yaon na sinasabi, Hindi ko madadalang magisa kayo:

10 Pinarami kayo ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, at, narito, kayo sa araw na ito ay gaya ng mga bituin sa langit sa karamihan.

11 Kayo nawa'y dagdagan ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng inyong mga magulang, ng makalibo pa sa dami ninyo ngayon, at kayo nawa'y pagpalain, na gaya ng ipinangako niya sa inyo!

12 Paanong madadala kong magisa ang inyong ligalig, at ang inyong pasan, at ang inyong pagkakaalitan?

13 Kumuha kayo sa inyo ng mga lalaking pantas, at nakakaalam, at kilala, ayon sa inyong mga lipi, at sila'y aking gagawing pangulo sa inyo.

14 At kayo'y sumagot sa akin at nagsabi, Ang bagay na iyong sinalita ay mabuting gawin namin.

15 Sa gayo'y kinuha ko sa inyo ang mga pangulo ng inyong mga lipi, na mga taong pantas, at kilala, at akin silang ginawang pangulo sa inyo, na mga punong kawal ng libolibo, at mga punong kawal ng mga daandaan, at mga punong kawal ng mga limangpu-limangpu, at mga punong kawal ng mga sangpu-sangpu, at mga pinuno ayon sa inyong mga lipi.

16 At aking pinagbilinan ang inyong mga hukom nang panahong yaon na sinasabi, Inyong dinggin ang mga usap ng inyong mga kapatid, at inyong hatulan ng matuwid ang tao at ang kaniyang kapatid, at ang taga ibang lupa na kasama niya.

17 Huwag kayong magtatangi ng tao sa kahatulan; inyong didinggin ang maliliit, na gaya ng malaki: huwag kayong matatakot sa mukha ng tao; sapagka't ang kahatulan ay sa Dios: at ang usap na napakahirap sa inyo, ay inyong dadalhin sa akin, at aking didinggin.

18 At aking iniutos sa inyo nang panahong yaon ang lahat ng mga bagay na inyong dapat gagawin.

19 At tayo ay naglakbay mula sa Horeb at ating tinahak yaong buong malawak at kakilakilabot na ilang na inyong nakita, sa daang patungo sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo, na gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon nating Dios sa atin, at tayo'y dumating sa Cades-barnea.

20 At aking sinabi sa inyo, Inyong narating ang lupaing maburol ng mga Amorrheo na ibinibigay sa atin ng Panginoon nating Dios.

21 Narito, inilalagay ng Panginoon ninyong Dios ang lupain sa harap mo: sampahin mo, ariin mo, na gaya ng sinalita sa iyo ng Panginoon, ng Dios ng iyong mga magulang; huwag kang matakot, ni manglupaypay.

22 At kayo'y lumapit sa akin, bawa't isa sa inyo, at nagsabi, Tayo'y magsugo ng mga lalake sa unahan natin, upang kanilang kilalanin ang lupain para sa atin, at magbigay alam sa atin ng daang ating marapat sampahan, at ng mga bayang ating daratnin.

23 At ang bagay na yaon ay inakala kong magaling: at ako'y kumuha ng labing dalawang lalake sa inyo, na isang lalake sa bawa't lipi.

24 At sila'y pumihit at sumampa sa bundok, at dumating hanggang sa libis ng Escol, at kanilang tiniktikan.

25 At sila'y nagbitbit ng bunga ng lupain sa kanilang mga kamay, at kanilang ipinanaog sa atin, at sila'y nagdala ng kasagutan at nagsabi, Mabuting lupain ang ibinibigay sa atin ng Panginoon nating Dios.

26 Gayon ma'y hindi kayo umakyat, kundi nanghimagsik kayo laban sa utos ng Panginoon ninyong Dios.

27 At kayo'y dumaing sa inyong mga tolda, at inyong sinabi, Sapagka't kinapootan tayo ng Panginoon, ay inilabas tayo sa lupain ng Egipto, upang tayo'y ibigay sa kamay ng mga Amorrheo, upang tayo'y lipulin.

28 Saan tayo sasampa? pinapanglupaypay ng ating mga kapatid ang ating puso, na sinasabi, Ang mga tao ay malalaki at matataas kay sa atin; ang mga bayan ay malalaki at nakukutaan ng hanggang sa himpapawid; at bukod dito'y aming nakita roon ang mga anak ng mga Anaceo.

29 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko sa inyo, Huwag kayong mangilabot ni matakot sa kanila.

30 Ang Panginoon ninyong Dios, na nangunguna sa inyo, ay kaniyang ipakikipaglaban kayo, ayon sa lahat ng kaniyang ginawa sa Egipto dahil sa inyo sa harap ng inyong mga mata;

31 At sa ilang, na inyong kinakitaan kung paanong dinala ka ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, na gaya ng pagdadala ng tao sa kaniyang anak, sa buong daang inyong nilakaran hanggang sa dumating kayo sa dakong ito.

32 Gayon ma'y sa bagay na ito, ay hindi kayo sumampalataya sa Panginoon ninyong Dios,

33 Na nagpauna sa inyo sa daan, upang ihanap kayo ng dakong mapagtatayuan ng inyong mga tolda, na nasa apoy pagka gabi, upang ituro sa inyo kung saang daan kayo dadaan, at nasa ulap pagka araw.

34 At narinig ng Panginoon ang tinig ng inyong mga salita, at nag-init, at sumumpa, na nagsasabi,

35 Tunay na hindi makikita ng isa man nitong mga taong masamang lahi ang mabuting lupain na aking isinumpang ibigay sa inyong mga magulang,

36 Liban si Caleb na anak ni Jephone; at siya ang makakakita; at sa kaniya ko ibibigay ang lupain na kaniyang tinuntungan, at sa kaniyang mga anak: sapagka't siya'y lubos na sumunod sa Panginoon.

37 Ang Panginoon ay nagalit din sa akin, dahil sa inyo, na nagsasabi, Ikaw man ay hindi papasok doon:

38 Si Josue na anak ni Nun, na nakatayo sa harap mo, ay siyang papasok doon: palakasin mo ang kaniyang loob; sapagka't kaniyang ipamamana sa Israel.

39 Bukod dito'y ang inyong mga bata, na inyong sinasabing magiging bihag, at ang inyong mga anak na sa araw na ito ay hindi nakakaalam ng mabuti o ng masama, ay sila ang papasok doon, at sa kanila'y aking ibibigay, at kanilang aariin.

40 Nguni't tungkol sa inyo, ay bumalik kayo, at maglakbay kayo sa ilang sa daang patungo sa Dagat na Mapula.

41 Nang magkagayo'y sumagot kayo at sinabi ninyo sa akin, Kami ay nagkasala laban sa Panginoon, kami ay sasampa at lalaban, ayon sa buong iniutos sa amin ng Panginoon naming Dios. At nagsipagsakbat bawa't isa sa inyo ng kanikaniyang sandata na pangdigma, at kayo'y nagmadaling sumampa sa bundok.

42 At sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, Sabihin mo sa kanila, Huwag kayong sumampa, ni lumaban; sapagka't ako'y wala sa inyo; baka kayo'y masugatan sa harap ng inyong mga kaaway.

43 Gayon sinalita ko sa inyo, at hindi ninyo dininig; kundi kayo'y nanghimagsik laban sa utos ng Panginoon, at naghambog at umakyat sa bundok.

44 At ang mga Amorrheo na tumatahan sa bundok na yaon, ay nagsilabas na laban sa inyo, at kayo'y hinabol, na gaya ng ginagawa ng mga pukyutan, at kayo'y tinalo sa Seir, hanggang sa Horma.

45 At kayo'y bumalik at umiyak sa harap ng Panginoon; nguni't hindi dininig ng Panginoon ang inyong tinig, ni pinakinggan kayo.

46 Sa gayon, ay natira kayong malaon sa Cades, ayon sa mga araw na inyong itinira roon.

9857. 'And you shall make a breastplate of judgement' means that which has regard to Divine Truth shining forth from Divine Good. This is clear from the meaning of 'a breastplate' as Divine Truth shining forth from the Lord's Divine Good within last and lowest things, dealt with in 9823. It is called 'a breastplate of judgement' because it gave answers, and through these Divine Truth was revealed; furthermore Divine Truth, and therefore doctrinal teachings and a life in accord with them, is meant in the Word by 'judgement'. This then is why this breastplate is referred to as 'the breastplate of judgement', and also further on in this chapter as 'the judgement', in verse 30 - 'Aaron shall carry the judgement of the children of Israel over his heart before Jehovah continually'. And when Joshua was chosen to be leader of the people, it says that he was to stand before Eleazar the priest, who would inquire for him by the judgement of the Urim before Jehovah, Numbers 27:21.

[2] 'Judgement' means Divine Truth and intelligence springing from It, as a consequence of which it means religious teachings and a life in accord with them. This is clear from a large number of places in the Word, such as the following: In Isaiah,

The vineyard of Jehovah Zebaoth is the house of Israel. He looked for judgement, but behold, festering; for righteousness, but behold, a cry. Isaiah 5:7.

'Looking for judgement' means intelligence springing from Divine Truth, and a life in accord with the commandments. In the same prophet,

On the throne there sat in truthfulness, in the tabernacle of David, one who judges and seeks judgement. Isaiah 16:5.

This refers to the Lord's Coming. 'The throne' on which He is going to sit means Divine Truth that emanates from Him, and consequently means the spiritual kingdom, see 2129, 5313, 6397, 8625, 9039. 'Judging judgement' means teaching Divine Truth, and 'seeking judgement' people's acceptance of it.

[3] In the same prophet,

On that day Jehovah will be a tiara of beauty for the remnant of His people, and a spirit of judgement to him who sits in judgement. Isaiah 28:5-6.

'A tiara of beauty', when these words have reference to Jehovah, that is, the Lord, means Divine Intelligence, see above in 9827; and 'a spirit of judgement' means wisdom that springs from Divine Truth, 9818. 'To him who sits in judgement' means one who informs people about or teaches Divine Truth. In the same prophet,

Jehovah has filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. Isaiah 33:5.

'Zion' stands for the celestial Church, 'being filled with judgement' for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and 'being filled with righteousness' for wisdom that comes from Divine Good.

[4] In the same prophet,

Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah? With whom did He deliberate, that He might make Him intelligent, and instruct Him in the way of judgement, and teach Him knowledge, and show Him the way of intelligence? Isaiah 40:13-14.

'The Spirit of Jehovah' means Divine Truth, 9818. 'Instructing Him in the way of judgement' self-evidently means making him knowledgeable, intelligent, and wise. In Jeremiah,

The stork in the sky knows her appointed times, but Jehovah's people do not know the judgement of Jehovah. How can you say, We are wise, and the law of Jehovah is with us? Jeremiah 8:7-8.

'Not knowing the judgement of Jehovah' stands for ignorance of Divine Truth, the source of wisdom; and this is why it says, 'How can you say, We are wise?'

[5] In the same prophet,

Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, and his upper rooms without judgement! Jeremiah 22:13.

'Building upper rooms without judgement' stands for absorbing ideas that are not true. In Hosea,

I will betroth you to Me forever in righteousness and in judgement, and I will betroth you to Me in truth. Hosea 2:19-20.

'Betrothing in judgement' stands for joining by means of Divine Truth, thus by means of faith and the life of faith. In Amos,

Let judgement flow like water, and righteousness like a mighty torrent. Amos 5:24.

In the same prophet,

You have turned judgement into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood. Amos 6:12.

Here also 'judgement' stands for intelligence that springs from Divine Truth, and for a life based on this.

[6] In Zephaniah,

Jehovah in the morning will bring His judgement to light. Zephaniah 3:5.

'Bringing judgement to light' stands for revealing Divine Truth. In Moses,

All the ways of Jehovah are judgement. Deuteronomy 32:4.

In David,

O Jehovah, Your truth reaches up to the skies, Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, Your judgements [like] the great abyss. Psalms 36:5-6.

In the same author,

Jehovah will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgement as the noonday. Psalms 37:6.

In the same author,

Hear my voice according to Your mercy; O Jehovah, revive me according to Your judgements. Psalms 119:149.

In these places 'judgement' and 'judgements' stand for Divine Truth.

[7] In Luke,

Woe to you Pharisees! You pass by the judgement and the love of God. These you ought to have done. Luke 11:42.

'Passing by the judgement of God' stands for shunning Divine Truth, and 'passing by the love of God' for shunning Divine Good and a life inspired by them both. The fact that this life is also meant accounts for their being told, These you ought to have done. In Isaiah,

Jehovah Zebaoth will be exalted in judgement, and God will be made holy in righteousness. Isaiah 5:16.

In the same author,

... upon the throne of David to establish the kingdom in judgement and in righteousness, from now and even for evermore. Isaiah 9:7.

In the same author,

Give counsel, execute judgement, set your shade like the night in the middle of the day. Isaiah 16:3.

'Executing judgement' stands for acting in accordance with God's truth.

[8] In Jeremiah,

I will raise up for David a righteous branch, who will execute judgement and righteousness in the land. Jeremiah 23:5; 33:15.

In Ezekiel,

If a man has been righteous, one who has executed judgement and righteousness ... [if he] walks in My statutes, and keeps My judgements, to execute truth, he is righteous; he will surely live. Ezekiel 18:5, 9.

In Zephaniah,

Seek Jehovah, O all the meek of the earth, who have executed His judgement. Zephaniah 2:3.

'Executing God's judgement' stands for carrying out Divine Truth or acting in accord with it. In Isaiah,

I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth judgement to the nations. He will not quench nor will He break until He has set judgement on the earth. Isaiah 42:1, 4.

This refers to the Lord. 'Bringing forth judgement to the nations' and 'setting judgement on the earth' stand for teaching Divine Truth and establishing it in the Church.

[9] In the same prophet,

Law will go out from Me, and I will raise up My judgement to be the light of peoples. Isaiah 51:4.

'Judgement' stands for Divine Truth, 'to be the light of peoples' for to bring enlightenment. In John,

For judgement I came 1 into this world, that those who do not see may see, but those who see may become blind. John 9:39.

'Coming into the world for judgement' stands for coming to reveal Divine Truth, which gives people vision if the Lord is the source of their wisdom, but makes them blind if they themselves are the source of it and on account of this are reputed to be learned.

[10] In Jeremiah,

Swear by the living Jehovah, in truth, in judgement, and in righteousness. Jeremiah 4:2.

In the same prophet,

There is none judging judgement for healthiness; you have no restorative medicaments. Jeremiah 30:13.

In David,

Righteousness and judgement are the support of Your throne; mercy and truth will stand firm before Your face. Psalms 89:14.

'Righteousness' stands for the good that belongs to mercy, and 'judgement' for the truth that belongs to faith, which is why the expression 'mercy and truth' is also used. In Ezekiel,

Jerusalem has changed My judgements into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the lands. Therefore I will execute in you [My] judgements in the eyes of the nations, and I will scatter all your remnant. Ezekiel 5:6-8, 10, 15.

'Changing judgements' stands for altering truths as they exist in the civic state, these truths being meant by 'judgements' when 'statutes' are also mentioned, see 8972. But 'executing judgements' means passing judgement that points to death, which is damnation, or to life, which is salvation. Salvation or damnation is also meant by 'judgement' when the expression 'day of judgement' or 'hour of judgement' is used, for example in Matthew 11:22, 24; 12:36, 41-42; Luke 10:14; 11:31-32; John 5:28-29; Revelation 14:7; 18:10. The same thing is also meant by 'judgement' when judgement-making is referred to, for example in Matthew 5:21-22; 7:1-2; 23:14, 33; John 5:24, 26-27; 7:24; 8:15-16; 12:31, 47-48; Luke 6:37; 12:13-14, 56-57; 19:21-22; 20:47; 22:30; Mark 12:40; Isaiah 3:14; 41:1; Jeremiah 25:31; 48:21; Joel 3:12; Psalms 7:7-8; 9:4, 7-8; Leviticus 19:15; Deuteronomy 1:16-17; 25:1; Revelation 17:1; 18:10; 20:12-13.
