Oseas 2

Studie

   

1 Sabihin ninyo sa inyong mga kapatid na lalake, Ammi; at sa inyong mga kapatid na babae ay, Ruhama.

2 Makipagtalo kayo sa inyong ina, makipagtalo kayo; sapagka't siya'y hindi ko asawa, ni ako man ay kaniyang asawa; at alisin niya ang kaniyang pagpapatutot sa kaniyang mukha, at ang kaniyang mga pangangalunya sa pagitan ng kaniyang mga suso;

3 Baka siya'y aking hubaran, at aking ilagay siya na gaya ng araw na siya'y ipanganak, at gawin ko siyang parang isang ilang, at ilagay ko siyang parang isang tuyong lupa, at patayin ko siya sa uhaw;

4 Oo, sa kaniyang mga anak ay hindi ako magdadalang habag; sapagka't sila'y mga anak sa patutot.

5 Sapagka't ang kanilang ina ay nagpatutot; siya na naglihi sa kanila ay gumawa ng kahiyahiya; sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Ako'y susunod sa mga mangingibig sa akin, na nangagbibigay sa akin ng aking tinapay at ng aking tubig, ng aking lana at ng aking lino, ng langis ko at ng inumin ko.

6 Kaya't, narito, aking babakuran ng mga tinik ang iyong daan, at ako'y gagawa ng bakod laban sa kaniya, na hindi niya, masusumpungan ang kaniyang mga landas.

7 At siya'y susunod sa mga mangingibig sa kaniya, nguni't hindi niya sila aabutan; at hahanapin niya sila, nguni't hindi niya sila masusumpungan; kung magkagayo'y sasabihin niya, Ako'y yayaon at babalik sa aking unang asawa; sapagka't naging mabuti sa akin kay sa ngayon.

8 Sapagka't hindi niya naalaman na ako ang nagbigay sa kaniya ng trigo, at ng alak, at ng langis, at nagpaparami sa kaniya ng pilak at ginto, na kanilang ginamit kay Baal.

9 Kaya't aking babawiin ang aking trigo sa panahon niyaon, at ang aking alak sa panahon niyaon, at aking aalisin ang aking lana at ang aking lino na sana'y tatakip sa kaniyang kahubaran.

10 At ngayo'y aking ililitaw ang kaniyang kahalayan sa paningin ng mga mangingibig sa kaniya, at walang magliligtas sa kaniya mula sa aking kamay.

11 Akin din namang papaglilikatin ang kaniyang mga kalayawan, ang kaniyang mga kapistahan, ang kaniyang mga bagong buwan, at ang kaniyang mga sabbath, at lahat ng kaniyang takdang kapulungan.

12 At aking iwawasak ang kaniyang mga puno ng ubas, at ang kaniyang mga puno ng higos, na siya niyang sinasabi, Ang mga ito ang aking kaupahan na ibinigay sa akin ng mga mangingibig sa akin; at ang mga yao'y aking gagawing isang gubat, at kakanin ng mga hayop sa parang.

13 At aking dadalawin sa kaniya ang mga kaarawan ng mga Baal, na siya niyang pinagsusunugan ng kamangyan, nang siya'y nagpaparanya ng kaniyang mga hikaw at kaniyang mga hiyas, at sumusunod sa mga mangingibig sa kaniya, at kinalilimutan ako, sabi ng Panginoon.

14 Kaya't, narito, akin siyang hihikayatin, at dadalhin siya sa ilang, at pagsasalitaan ko siyang may pagaliw.

15 At ibibigay ko sa kaniya ang kaniyang mga ubasan mula roon, at ang libis ng Achor na pinakapintuan ng pagasa; at siya'y sasagot doon, gaya ng mga kaarawan ng kaniyang kabataan, at gaya ng araw na siya'y sumampa mula sa lupain ng Egipto.

16 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, sabi ng Panginoon, na tatawagin mo akong Ishi, at hindi mo na ako tatawaging Baali.

17 Sapagka't aking aalisin ang mga pangalan ng mga Baal sa kaniyang bibig, at siya'y hindi na babanggitin pa sa pamamagitan ng kanilang pangalan.

18 At sa araw na yaon ay ipakikipagtipan ko sila sa mga hayop sa parang, at sa mga ibon sa himpapawid, at sa mga bagay na nagsisiusad sa lupa: at aking babaliin ang busog at ang tabak, at patitigilin ko ang pagbabaka sa lupain, at akin silang pahihigaing tiwasay.

19 At ako'y magiging asawa mo magpakailan man; oo, magiging asawa mo ako sa katuwiran, at sa kahatulan, at sa kagandahang-loob, at sa mga kaawaan.

20 Magiging asawa mo rin ako sa pagtatapat; at iyong makikilala ang Panginoon.

21 At mangyayari sa araw na yaon, na ako'y sasagot, sabi ng Panginoon, ako'y sasagot sa langit, at sila'y magsisisagot sa lupa;

22 At ang lupa'y sasagot sa trigo, at sa alak, at sa langis; at sila'y magsisisagot sa Jezreel.

23 At aking itatatag siya para sa akin sa lupa; at ako'y magdadalang habag sa kaniya na hindi nagtamo ng kahabagan; at aking sasabihin sa kanila na hindi ko bayan, Ikaw ay aking bayan; at siya'y magsasabi, Ikaw ay aking Dios.

Arcana Coelestia # 10559

10559. 'And Moses said to Jehovah' means annoyance that the Divine, and so the Church itself, does not reside with them. This is clear from the meaning of 'saying' here as annoyance, for it includes what comes after it, this being what he actually said; and what comes after it is an expression of annoyance because the Divine was not willing to reside with them. That being so, the Church would not reside with them to make them more distinguished than all who are on the face of the earth, as is evident from verse 16 below. The reason why Moses' words to Jehovah were an expression of annoyance because of this was that Moses now represents the head of the Israelite nation, see above in 10556; therefore he speaks on behalf of himself and of that nation, for in verse 16 he says 'I and the people'. And since he now represents that nation as its head, the words 'Moses said to Jehovah' mean annoyance, for anyone who is by nature like that nation is annoyed with God if he does not attain his desires.

[2] This is how all whose interest lies in external things devoid of what is internal behave; for if they revere and worship God, and seem to love Him, they do so not for His sake but their own. Their only desire is for pre-eminence over others and greater wealth than others. This burning desire is what moves them to revere, worship, and seemingly love Him. But if they do not obtain the things they desire they forsake God. The fact that that nation was like this is plainly evident from the historical narratives in the Word. The following words spoken by Jacob have a similar meaning,

Jacob made a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and guard me on this road on which I am walking, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, and I come back in peace to my father's house, then Jehovah will be my God. Genesis 28:20-21.

The import of these words is that if he received those things he would acknowledge Jehovah as his God, but if he did not receive them he would not do so. Of such a mind also was the nation descended from him. This explains why that nation forsook Him so many times and worshipped other gods, till at length they were for that reason expelled from the land of Canaan, first the Israelite nation and afterwards the Jewish.

[3] It is evident that the cause of the annoyance referred to above lay in the fact that they would not become more distinguished than all throughout the whole world if Jehovah did not go with them. Another cause of that annoyance was that the Church itself would not exist among them, which follows from this, that being led by Jehovah into the land of Canaan means being made a Church. The reasons for this are that the Church had existed in the land of Canaan since most ancient times, and that the Word could not have been written anywhere else than in that land, thus among the nation that possessed it, and the place where the Word exists is where the Church exists. The Word could not have been written anywhere else than there because all the places throughout the whole of that land, and those around it - the mountains, valleys, rivers, forests, and everything else - had become representative of celestial and spiritual realities, and the literal sense of the Word in both the historical sections and the prophetical parts must of necessity consist of such representative things. It must do so because the interiors of the Word, which are celestial and spiritual, terminate in such things and so to speak rest on them like a house on its foundations. For unless the Word as to its literal sense, which is the last and lowest level of it, rested on those things it would be like a house without foundations. The truth of this is evident from the Word, in that references are made so many times to places in that land, all of which, having become representative, are signs for the realities of heaven and the Church.

[4] All this explains why being led into the land of Canaan means the establishment of the Church and why Moses' annoyance has to do with the same thing, though nothing of that was in his mind.

The Church had existed in the land of Canaan since most ancient times, and for this reason all the places there became representative, see 3686, 4447, 4454, 4516, 4517, 5136, 6306, 6516, 8317, 9320, 9325.

For the same reason 'the land of Canaan' in the Word means the Church, in the places referred to in 9325.
