Jeremias 41

Studie

   

1 Nangyari nga, nang ikapitong buwan, na si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, na anak ni Elisama, na lahing hari, at isa sa mga punong oficial ng hari, at sangpung lalake na kasama niya, ay nagsiparoon kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam sa Mizpa; at doo'y magkasama silang nagsikain ng tinapay sa Mizpa.

2 Nang magkagayo'y tumindig si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at ang sangpung lalake na kasama niya, at sinugatan ng tabak, si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam na anak ni Saphan, at pinatay siya, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.

3 Pinatay rin naman ni Ismael ang lahat na Judio na kasama niya, na kasama ni Gedalias, sa Mizpa, at ang mga Caldeo na nangasumpungan doon, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga lalaking mangdidigma.

4 At nangyari, nang ikalawang araw, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias, at wala pang lalaking nakakaalam,

5 Na nagsiparoon ang mga lalake na mula sa Sichem, mula sa Silo, at mula sa Samaria, sa makatuwid baga'y walong pung lalake, na may mga ahit na balbas at may mga hapak na kasuutan, at may mga kudlit, may mga alay at mga kamangyan sa kanilang kamay, upang dalhin sa bahay ng Panginoon.

6 At si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay lumabas na mula sa Mizpa upang salubungin sila, na umiiyak siya habang lumalakad: at nangyari, pagkasalubong niya sa kanila, sinabi niya sa kanila, Magsiparoon kayo kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam.

7 At nangyari, na nang sila'y pumasok sa gitna ng bayan, na pinatay sila ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias at inihagis sila sa hukay, niya at ng mga lalake na kasama niya.

8 Nguni't sangpung lalake ay nangasumpungan sa kanila na nangagsabi kay Ismael, Huwag mo kaming patayin; sapagka't kami ay may mga kayamanan na kubli sa parang, na trigo, at cebada, at langis, at pulot. Sa gayo'y nagpigil siya, at hindi niya pinatay sila sa gitna ng kanilang mga kapatid.

9 Ang hukay nga na pinagtapunan ni Ismael ng lahat ng bangkay ng mga tao na kaniyang pinatay, sa siping ni Gedalias, (siya ring ginawa ni Asa na hari dahil sa takot kay Baasa na hari sa Israel), pinuno ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ng nangapatay.

10 Nang magkagayo'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael ang lahat na nangalabi sa bayan na nangasa Mizpa, sa makatuwid baga'y ang mga anak na babae ng hari, at ang buong bayan na nalabi sa Mizpa, na siyang mga ibinilin ni Nabuzaradan na kapitan ng bantay kay Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam; sila'y dinalang bihag ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nagpatuloy na yumaon sa mga anak ni Ammon.

11 Nguni't nang mabalitaan ni Johanan na anak ni Carea, at ng lahat na kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang buong kasamaan na ginawa ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias,

12 Ipinagsama nga nila ang lahat na lalake, at sila'y nagsiyaong lumaban kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, at nasumpungan nila siya sa tabi ng malaking bukal na nasa Gabaon.

13 Nangyari nga, nang makita ng buong bayan na kasama ni Ismael si Johanan na anak ni Carea at ang lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, sila nga'y nangatuwa.

14 Sa gayo'y ang buong bayan na dinalang bihag ni Ismael na mula sa Mizpa, ay pumihit at bumalik, at naparoon kay Johanan na anak ni Carea.

15 Nguni't si Ismael na anak ni Nethanias ay tumanan mula kay Johanan na kasama ng walong lalake, at naparoon sa mga anak ni Ammon.

16 Nang magkagayo'y kinuha ni Johanan na anak ni Carea at ng lahat ng kapitan sa mga kawal na kasama niya, ang lahat na nalabi sa bayan na kaniyang nabawi kay Ismael na anak ni Nethanias, mula sa Mizpa, pagkatapos na kaniyang mapatay si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, sa makatuwid ang mga lalaking magdidigma, at ang mga babae, at ang mga bata, at ang mga bating, na kaniyang mga ibinalik mula sa Gabaon;

17 At sila'y nagsiyaon at nagsitahan sa Geruth chimham, na malapit sa Bethlehem upang pumaroong masok sa Egipto.

18 Dahil sa mga Caldeo; sapagka't sila'y nangatakot sa kanila, sapagka't pinatay ni Ismael na anak ni Nethanias si Gedalias na anak ni Ahicam, na ginawang tagapamahala sa lupain ng hari sa Babilonia.

Daughter

  
A nice mother-daughter hug.

Marriages among people – both in the Bible and in life – represent spiritual marriage. Women represent the desire to be good and to do good things; men represent the understanding of how to be good and how to do good things. Each one of us, male or female, can experience that marriage within us if we work to learn about the Lord and dedicate ourselves to doing His will. And just as natural marriages produce children, so do spiritual marriages. Daughters represent affections, the emotional response we have to good things and positive ideas. Sons represent those positive ideas, facts and knowledge leading to a greater understanding. This makes sense if you think about it. If in life you’re working to be a good person and thinking about how to do that, finding a nugget of wisdom in the Word – or from another source – is a joyful thing. Finding a way to be good to someone and serve them is a joyful thing as well (it helps if they appreciate it, but that’s not really the point). That joy, that affection for what is true and what is good, is a "daughter." On a broader level, daughters also sometimes represent churches, since churches are based on an affection for truth. And as with all representations, the meaning of "daughter" can also be reversed, representing the thrill of evil.

In Psalm 45:9, this signifies a church from goods. (Arcana Coelestia 490)

In Genesis 20:12, this signifies the rational, conceived of celestial good as a father, but not of spiritual truth as a mother. (Arcana Coelestia 2557)

2557. 'My father's daughter but not my mother's daughter' means that the rational was conceived from celestial good as the father but not from spiritual truth as the mother. This becomes clear from the conception of the rational, that is to say, it comes into being through an influx of Divine celestial good into the affection for factual knowledge, dealt with in 1895, 1902, 1910. Two arcana are present here, the first being that man's rational is conceived from Divine celestial good as the father, and that there is no other way in which any rational may come into being; and the second, that the rational is not conceived from spiritual truth as the mother. As regards the first arcanum - that man's rational is conceived from Divine celestial good as the father, and that there is no other way in which any rational comes into being - this may become clear from what has been stated already in 1895, 1902, 1910, as well as from what anybody may know if he reflects.

[2] For it is well known that man is born without any knowledge and without any actual rationality, and with only the ability to acquire these; also that after he is born he learns and absorbs all things gradually, chiefly by means of sensory impressions received through hearing and sight; and as he learns and absorbs them so he becomes rational. The fact that these things are accomplished by way of the body, which is an external way, because they are accomplished through hearing and sight, is self-evident. But the thing man does not know, because he does not reflect on the matter, is that something is flowing in constantly from within which receives those things that thus enter in and are implanted through hearing and sight, and arranges them into order. That which flows in, receives, and arranges them is Divine celestial good, which comes from the Lord. This is the source of the life of those things, the source of their order, and the source of all the separate relationships among them, as has been stated. From all this it may become clear that man's rational springs from Divine celestial good as the father, in accordance with the words in this verse, 'she is my father's daughter'.

[3] As regards the second arcanum - that the rational is not conceived from spiritual truth as the mother - this becomes clear from what has been stated in 1902. For if spiritual truth were to flow in from within, as good does, man would be born with total rationality and at the same time with complete knowledge, so that he would have no need to learn anything. But since man is such that because of his heredity he is under the influence of every evil and consequently of every falsity, so that if truths themselves also were to flow in he would adulterate them and falsify them and in so doing would perish for ever, the Lord has provided against any truth at all flowing in by way of man's internal being, only by way of his external. From this it becomes clear that man's rational does not spring from spiritual truth as the mother, in accordance with the words in this verse, 'but not my mother's daughter'. It pleased the Lord that His own Rational as well should be formed according to the same order, to the end that by His own power He might make Divine all things with Him that were Human, and might implant Divine spiritual Truth in, and unite it to, Divine celestial Good, and implant Divine celestial Good in, and unite it to, Divine spiritual Truth.
