Deuteronomio 31

Studie

   

1 At si Moises ay yumaon at sinalita ang mga salitang ito sa buong Israel.

2 At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Ako'y may isang daan at dalawang pung taon sa araw na ito; hindi na ako makapaglalabas at pumasok; at sinabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Huwag kang tatawid sa Jordang ito.

3 Magpapauna ang Panginoon mong Dios at kaniyang lilipulin ang mga bansang ito sa harap mo, at iyong aariin: si Josue ay magpapauna sa iyo, gaya ng sinalita ng Panginoon.

4 At gagawin sa kanila ng Panginoon ang gaya ng ginawa kay Sehon, at kay Og, na mga hari ng mga Amorrheo, at sa kanilang lupain na kaniyang nilipol.

5 At ibibigay sila ng Panginoon sa harap mo, at iyong gagawin sa kanila ang ayon sa buong utos na aking iniutos sa iyo.

6 Kayo'y magpakalakas at magpakatapang, huwag kayong matakot, ni mangilabot sa kanila; sapagka't ang Panginoon mong Dios ay siyang yumayaong kasama mo; hindi ka niya iiwan ni pababayaan ka niya.

7 At tinawag ni Moises si Josue at sinabi sa kaniya sa paningin ng buong Israel, Ikaw ay magpakalakas at magpakatapang: sapagka't ikaw ay yayaong kasama ng bayang ito sa lupain na isinumpa ng Panginoon sa kanilang mga magulang na ibibigay sa kanila; at iyong ipamamana sa kanila.

8 At ang Panginoon, ay siyang nagpapauna sa iyo; siya'y sasa iyo, hindi ka niya iiwan, ni pababayaan ka: ikaw ay huwag matatakot ni manglulupaypay.

9 At isinulat ni Moises ang kautusang ito, at ibinigay sa mga saserdote na mga anak ni Levi, na silang nagdadala ng kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon, at sa lahat ng matanda sa Israel.

10 At iniutos sa kanila ni Moises, na sinabi, Sa katapusan ng bawa't pitong taon, sa takdang panahon ng taon ng pagtubos, sa kapistahan ng mga balag,

11 Pagdating ng buong Israel upang pakita sa harap ng Panginoon mong Dios sa dakong kaniyang pipiliin ay iyong babasahin ang kautusang ito sa harap ng buong Israel sa kanilang pakinig.

12 Pisanin mo ang bayan, ang mga lalake at mga babae at mga bata, at ang iyong taga ibang lupa na nasa loob ng iyong mga pintuang-daan, upang kanilang marinig, at upang kanilang pagaralan, at matakot sa Panginoon mong Dios, at isagawa ang lahat ng mga salita ng kautusang ito;

13 At upang ang kanilang mga anak, na hindi nakakilala, ay makarinig at magaral na matakot sa Panginoon ninyong Dios, habang kayo'y nabubuhay sa lupain na inyong pinaroroonan, na inyong itinatawid ng Jordan upang ariin.

14 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Narito, ang iyong mga araw na ikamamatay ay nalalapit: tawagin mo si Josue, at magsiharap kayo sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan upang siya'y aking mapagbilinan. At si Moises at si Josue ay yumaon at humarap sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan.

15 At ang Panginoon ay napakita sa Tolda, sa isang tila haliging ulap; at ang tila haliging ulap ay tumayo sa pintuan ng tabernakulo.

16 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Moises, Narito, ikaw ay matutulog na kasama ng iyong mga magulang; at ang bayang ito'y babangon, at sasamba sa kakaibang mga dios sa lupain, na kanilang pinaroroonan upang sumagitna nila, at ako'y pababayaan, at sisirain ang aking tipan na aking ipinakipagtipan sa kanila.

17 Kung magkagayo'y ang aking galit ay magaalab laban sa kanila sa araw na yaon, at aking pababayaan sila, at aking ikukubli ang aking mukha sa kanila, at sila'y sasakmalin, at maraming kasamaan at kabagabagan ang darating sa kanila; na anopa't kanilang sasabihin sa araw na yaon, Hindi ba ang mga kasamaang ito ay dumating sa atin dahil sa ang ating Dios ay wala sa gitna natin?

18 At ikukubli ko nga ang aking mukha sa araw na yaon dahil sa buong kasamaang kanilang ginawa, sa paraang sila'y pumihit sa ibang mga dios.

19 Ngayon nga'y sulatin ninyo sa ganang inyo ang awit na ito, at ituro mo sa mga anak ni Israel: ilagay mo sa kanilang mga bibig, upang ang awit na ito'y maging saksi sa akin laban sa mga anak ni Israel.

20 Sapagka't pagka sila'y naipasok ko na sa lupain na aking isinumpa sa kanilang mga magulang, na binubukalan ng gatas at pulot, at sila'y nakakain at nabusog at tumaba; ay pipihit nga sila sa ibang mga dios, at paglilingkuran nila, at ako'y lalabagin nila, at sisirain ang aking tipan.

21 At mangyayari na pagka ang maraming kasamaan at kabagabagan ay dumating sa kanila, ay magpapatotoo ang awit na ito sa harap nila na pinakasaksi; sapagka't hindi malilimutan ng mga bibig ng kanilang binhi; sapagka't talastas ko ang kanilang iniisip na kanilang inaakala ngayon pa, bago ko sila ipasok sa lupain na isinumpa ko.

22 Kaya't isinulat ni Moises ang awit na ito nang araw ding yaon, at itinuro sa mga anak ni Israel.

23 At kaniyang pinagbilinan si Josue na anak ni Nun, at sinabi, Ikaw ay magpakalakas at magpakatapang: sapagka't iyong ipapasok ang mga anak ni Israel sa lupain na isinumpa ko sa kanila; at ako'y sasa iyo.

24 At nangyari, nang matapos ni Moises na masulat ang mga salita ng kautusang ito sa isang aklat, hanggang sa natapos,

25 Na nagutos si Moises sa mga Levita, na may dala ng kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon, na sinasabi,

26 Kunin ninyo ang aklat na ito ng kautusan at ilagay ninyo sa siping ng kaban ng tipan ng Panginoon ninyong Dios, upang doo'y maging pinakasaksi laban sa iyo.

27 Sapagka't talastas ko ang iyong panghihimagsik, at ang iyong matigas na ulo: narito, nabubuhay pa akong kasama ninyo, sa araw na ito, kayo'y naging mapanghimagsik laban sa Panginoon: at gaano pa kaya pagkamatay ko?

28 Pulungin mo ang mga matanda sa iyong mga lipi at ang inyong mga pinuno upang masalita ko ang mga salitang ito sa kanilang pakinig, at matawag ang langit at ang lupa na pinakasaksi laban sa kanila.

29 Sapagka't talastas ko na pagkamatay ko, kayo'y mangagsisisama at mangaliligaw sa daan na aking itinuro sa inyo; at ang kasamaan ay sasapit sa inyo sa mga huling araw; sapagka't inyong gagawin yaong masama sa paningin ng Panginoon, upang ipamungkahi niya kayo sa kagalitan sa pamamagitan ng mga gawa ng inyong mga kamay.

30 At sinalita ni Moises sa pakinig ng buong kapisanan ng Israel ang mga salita ng awit na ito, hanggang sa natapos.

3941. And Reuben went in the days of wheat-harvest. That this signifies faith as regards its state of love and charity, is evident from the representation of Reuben, as being the faith which is the first thing of regeneration (see n. 3861, 3866); from the signification of “days,” as being states (n. 23, 487, 488, 493, 893, 2788, 3462, 3785); and from the signification of “wheat,” as being love and charity-to be explained in what follows; hence “wheat-harvest” is an advancing state of love and charity. The means of the conjunction of the external man with the internal have been described under the representation of the four sons of Jacob by the handmaids; and the subject now treated of is the conjunction of good and truth by means of the rest of the sons; and therefore the “dudaim” are first spoken of, by which this conjunction or conjugial relation is signified. The reason why a “wheat-harvest” signifies an advancing state of love and charity, is that a “field” signifies the church, and thus the things of the church; and the “seeds” sown in the field signify the things of good and truth; and the plants born from them, such as wheat, barley, and other grains, signify the things of love and charity, and also of faith. The states of the church in regard to these things are therefore compared to “seedtime” and “harvest,” and are so called, as inGenesis 8:22 (n. 932).

[2] That “wheat” denotes the things of love and charity, may also be seen from the following passages.

In Moses:

Jehovah maketh him to ride on the high places of the earth, and feedeth him with the increase of the fields, and maketh him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; butter of the herd and milk of the flock, with the fat of lambs and of rams, the sons of Bashan, and of he-goats, with the fat of the kidneys of wheat, and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape (Deut 32:13-14);

here in the internal sense the subject treated of is the Ancient Church and its state when it was set up; and all the things of love and charity and all the things of faith that were in it, are described by significatives. The “fat of the kidneys of wheat” is the celestial of love and charity; and as “fat” or “fatness” signifies the celestial (n. 353), and “wheat,” love, they are frequently joined together in the Word-as also in David:

O that My people were obedient to Me, that Israel would walk in My ways. He should feed them with the fat of wheat, and with honey out of the rock would I satisfy thee (Psalms 81:13, 16).

And again in the same:

Jehovah, He maketh thy border peace, and filleth thee with the fat of wheat (Psalms 147:14).

[3] That “wheat” is love and charity, may be seen in Jeremiah:

Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden down the portion of My field, they have made the portion of My field a wilderness of solitude. Wasters are come upon all the hills in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from one end of the land even to the other end of the land; no flesh hath peace. They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns (Jeremiah 12:10, 12-13);

“vineyard” and “field” denote the church; the “wilderness of solitude,” its vastation; the “sword that devoureth,” the vastation of truth; “no peace,” no good that affects; “sowing wheat,” the goods of love and charity; “reaping thorns,” the evils and falsities of the love of self and of the world. (That a “vineyard” is the spiritual church, may be seen above, n. 1069; and that a “field” is the church as to good, n. 2971; that a “wilderness” is vastation, n. 1927, 2708; that a “devouring sword” is the vastation of truth, n. 2799; and that “peace” is good that affects, n. 3780)

[4] In Joel:

The field is wasted, the ground mourneth, for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth, the husbandmen were ashamed, the vine-dressers have howled, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished. Gird yourselves and lament, ye priests; howl, ye ministers of the altar (Joel 1:10-11, 13).

Everyone sees that the state of the vastated church is that which is here described; thus that “field” and “ground” are the church; the “corn” 1 its good, and the “new wine” its truth (n. 3580); and that the “wheat” is celestial love, and the “barley” spiritual love; and as the state of the church is treated of, it is said, “gird yourselves and lament, ye priests; howl, ye ministers of the altar.”

[5] In Ezekiel, the Spirit of Jehovah said to the prophet:

Take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them into one vessel, and make thee bread thereof. With the ordure of man’s dung shalt thou make a cake before their eyes. Thus shall the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean (Ezekiel 4:9, 12-13); where the profanation of good and truth is treated of; the “wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt” denote the kinds of good and its derivative truth; the “bread” or “cake” “made thereof with the ordure of human dung,” denotes the profanation of all of them.

[6] In John:

I saw and behold a black horse; and he that sat thereon had a balance in his hand. And I heard a voice from the midst of the four living creatures, saying, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and hurt thou not the oil and the wine (Revelation 6:5-6); where the vastation of good and truth is treated of; a “measure of wheat for a penny” denoting the scarcity of love; and “three measures of barley for a penny,” the scarcity of charity.

[7] In Ezekiel:

Judah and the land of Israel were thy merchants; with wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balsam, they made thy tradings (Ezekiel 27:17); where the subject is Tyre, by which are signified the knowledges of good and truth; the goods of love and charity and their happinesses are the “wheat of Minnith, and pannag, and honey, and oil, and balsam;” “Judah” is the celestial church, and the “land of Israel,” the spiritual church, from which those things are; “tradings” are acquisitions.

[8] In Moses:

A land of wheat and barley, a land of vine and fig-tree and pomegranate, a land of olive, of oil, and of honey (Deuteronomy 8:8);

describing the land of Canaan, which in the internal sense is the Lord’s kingdom (n. 1413, 1437, 1585, 1607, 3038, 3705). The goods of love and charity are signified by the “wheat and barley;” and the goods of faith by the “vine and the fig-tree.”

[9] In Matthew:

Whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly purge His threshing floor and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but the chaff He will burn with unquenchable fire (Matthew 3:12).

John the Baptist thus speaks of the Lord; the “wheat” denotes the good of love and charity; the “chaff,” that in which there is nothing of good. In the same:

Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into My barn (Matthew 13:30).

The “tares” denote evils and falsities and the “wheat,” goods. They are comparisons, but the comparisons in the Word are all made by means of significatives.
