Josue 15

Studie

   

1 At naging kapalaran ng lipi ng mga anak ni Juda ayon sa kanilang mga angkan ay hanggang sa hangganan ng Edom; hanggang sa ilang ng Zin na dakong timugan, sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng timugan.

2 At ang kanilang hangganang timugan ay mula sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng Dagat na Alat, mula sa dagat-dagatan na nakaharap sa dakong timugan:

3 At palabas sa dakong timugan ng pagsampa sa Acrabim, at patuloy sa Zin at pasampa sa timugan ng Cades-barnea, at patuloy sa Hezron, at pasampa sa Addar, at paliko sa Carca:

4 At patuloy sa Azmon, at palabas sa batis ng Egipto, at ang mga labasan ng hangganan ay sa dagat: ito ang magiging inyong hangganang timugan.

5 At ang hangganang silanganan ay ang Dagat na Alat, hanggang sa katapusan ng Jordan. At ang hangganan ng hilagaang dako ay mula sa dagat-dagatan ng dagat na nasa katapusan ng Jordan:

6 At pasampa ang hangganan sa Beth-hogla, at patuloy sa hilagaan ng Beth-araba; at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa bato ni Bohan na anak ni Ruben:

7 At ang hangganan ay pasampa sa Debir mula sa libis ng Achor, at gayon sa dakong hilagaang paharap sa dakong Gilgal, na nasa tapat ng pagsampa sa Adumin, na nasa dakong timugan ng ilog: at ang hangganan ay patuloy sa tubig ng En-semes, at ang mga labasan niyaon ay sa En-rogel:

8 At ang hangganan ay pasampa sa libis ng anak ni Hinnom hanggang sa dako ng Jebuseo na dakong timugan (na siya ring Jerusalem): at ang hangganan ay pasampa sa taluktok ng bundok na dumudoon sa harap ng libis ng Hinnom na dakong kalunuran, na sa kahulihulihang bahagi ng libis ng Rephaim na dakong hilagaan:

9 At ang hangganan ay paabot mula sa taluktok ng bundok hanggang sa bukal ng tubig ng Nephtoa, at palabas sa mga bayan ng bundok ng Ephron, at ang hangganan ay paabot sa Baala (na siya ring Chiriath-jearim):

10 At ang hangganan ay paliko mula sa Baala sa dakong kalunuran sa bundok ng Seir, at patuloy sa tabi ng bundok Jearim sa hilagaan (na siya ring Chesalon), at pababa sa Beth-semes at patuloy sa Timna.

11 At ang hangganan ay palabas sa siping ng Ecron na dakong hilagaan; at ang hangganan ay paabot sa Sicheron, at patuloy sa bundok ng Baala, at palabas sa Jabneel; at ang mga labasan ng hangganan ay sa dagat.

12 At ang hangganang kalunuran ay ang malaking dagat, at ang hangganan niyaon. Ito ang hangganan ng mga anak ni Juda sa palibot, ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

13 At kay Caleb na anak ni Jephone ay nagbigay siya ng isang bahagi sa gitna ng mga anak ni Juda, ayon sa utos ng Panginoon kay Josue, sa makatuwid baga'y ang Chiriath-arba, na siyang Arba na ama ni Anac (na siya ring Hebron).

14 At pinalayas ni Caleb mula roon ang tatlong anak ni Anac: si Sesai, si Aiman at si Talmai, na mga anak ni Anac.

15 At siya'y sumampa mula roon laban sa mga taga Debir: ang pangalan nga ng Debir nang una ay Chiriath-sepher.

16 At sinabi ni Caleb, Ang sumakit sa Chiriath-sepher at sumakop, sa kaniya ko papagaasawahin si Axa na aking anak na babae.

17 At sinakop ni Othoniel na anak ni Cenez, na kapatid ni Caleb: at pinapagasawa niya sa kaniya si Axa na kaniyang anak na babae.

18 At nangyari, nang si Axa ay malakip sa kaniya, na kinilos nito siya na humingi sa kaniyang ama ng isang parang: at siya'y bumaba sa kaniyang asno, at sinabi ni Caleb sa kaniya, Anong ibig mo?

19 At kaniyang sinabi, Pagpalain mo ako; sapagka't inilagay mo ako sa lupaing Timugan, ay bigyan mo rin ako ng mga bukal ng tubig. At ibinigay niya sa kaniya ang mga bukal sa itaas at ang mga bukal sa ibaba.

20 Ito ang mana ng lipi ng mga anak ni Juda ayon sa kanilang mga angkan.

Apocalypse Revealed # 349

349. Sealed out of every tribe of Israel. This symbolizes the heaven and Lord's church formed from those people.

A tribe symbolizes religion as regards goodness of life, and every tribe symbolizes the church in respect to every good of love and every truth springing from that good, which produces goodness of life. For there are two elements which form the church: the goodness of love and doctrinal truth. The marriage of these two constitutes the church. The twelve tribes of Israel represented and so symbolized the church with respect to that marriage, and each tribe represented and so symbolized some universal truth accompanying goodness or some goodness accompanying truth present in that marriage.

But what each tribe symbolized has not been revealed previously to anyone, nor could it have been revealed, lest an ill-connected exposition profane the holiness that lies within these things when joined together, since their symbolism depends on their conjunction.

[2] They have one symbolism in the order in which they are listed according to their births (Genesis 29, 30, 35:18). The order there is: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, Benjamin.

They have another symbolism in the order in which they are listed when they went into Egypt, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Gad, Asher, Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Naphtali (Genesis 46:8-25).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by their father Israel, namely, Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, Benjamin (Genesis 49).

Still another symbolism in the order in which they were blessed by Moses, namely, Reuben, Judah, Levi, Benjamin, Joseph, Ephraim, Manasseh, Zebulun, Gad, Dan, Naphtali, Asher (Deuteronomy 33) - Ephraim and Manasseh being listed there, and not Simeon or Issachar.

[3] Still another symbolism in the order in which they encamped and set out, namely, the tribes of Judah, Issachar and Zebulun on the east side, the tribes of Reuben, Simeon and Gad on the south side, the tribes of Ephraim, Manasseh and Benjamin on the west side, and the tribes of Dan, Asher and Naphtali on the north side, with the tribe of Levi in the middle (Numbers 2:1-34).

And still another symbolism in the order in which they are listed elsewhere, as in Genesis 35:23-26, Numbers 1:5-16; 7:1-89; 13:4-15; 26:5-57; 34:17-28, Deuteronomy 27:12-13, Joshua 15; 16; 17; 18; 19, Ezekiel 48:1-35.

Consequently, when Balaam saw Israel dwelling according to their tribes, he said, "How good are your tents, O Jacob, and your tabernacles, O Israel" (Numbers 24:1-4ff.).

[4] On the breastpiece of judgment, namely, the Urim and Thummim, containing twelve precious stones according to the names of the children of Israel (Exodus 28:15-21), the symbolism of the tribes in their arrangement depended on the inquiry to which they provided a response.

But what they symbolized in the order in which they are mentioned here in the book of Revelation, which is still another order, will be told in what follows.

Tribes symbolize religion, and the twelve tribes the church and everything pertaining to it, because "tribe" and "scepter" are, in Hebrew, the same word, 1 and a scepter means a kingdom, and the Lord's kingdom is heaven and the church.

Joshua 19

Studie

   

1 The second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families. Their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah.

2 They had for their inheritance Beersheba (or Sheba), Moladah,

3 Hazar Shual, Balah, Ezem,

6 Beth Lebaoth, and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;

7 Ain, Rimmon, Ether, and Ashan; four cities with their villages;

8 and all the villages that were around these cities to Baalath Beer, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families.

9 Out of the part of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon; for the portion of the children of Judah was too much for them. Therefore the children of Simeon had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

10 The third lot came up for the children of Zebulun according to their families. The border of their inheritance was to Sarid.

11 Their border went up westward, even to Maralah, and reached to Dabbesheth. It reached to the brook that is before Jokneam.

12 It turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrise to the border of Chisloth Tabor. It went out to Daberath, and went up to Japhia.

13 From there it passed along eastward to Gath Hepher, to Ethkazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretches to Neah.

14 The border turned around it on the north to Hannathon; and it ended at the valley of Iphtah El;

15 Kattath, Nahalal, Shimron, Idalah, and Bethlehem: twelve cities with their villages.

16 This is the inheritance of the children of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

17 The fourth lot came out for Issachar, even for the children of Issachar according to their families.

18 Their border was to Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem,

19 Hapharaim, Shion, Anaharath,

20 Rabbith, Kishion, Ebez,

21 Remeth, Engannim, En Haddah, and Beth Pazzez.

22 The border reached to Tabor, Shahazumah, and Beth Shemesh. Their border ended at the Jordan: sixteen cities with their villages.

23 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Issachar according to their families, the cities with their villages.

24 The fifth lot came out for the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families.

25 Their border was Helkath, Hali, Beten, Achshaph,

26 Allammelech, Amad, Mishal. It reached to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath.

27 It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon, and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtah El northward to Beth Emek and Neiel. It went out to Cabul on the left hand,

28 and Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon.

29 The border turned to Ramah, to the fortified city of Tyre; and the border turned to Hosah. It ended at the sea by the region of Achzib;

30 Ummah also, and Aphek, and Rehob: twenty-two cities with their villages.

31 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

32 The sixth lot came out for the children of Naphtali, even for the children of Naphtali according to their families.

33 Their border was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim, Adaminekeb, and Jabneel, to Lakkum. It ended at the Jordan.

34 The border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there to Hukkok. It reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrise.

35 The fortified cities were Ziddim, Zer, Hammath, Rakkath, Chinnereth,

36 Adamah, Ramah, Hazor,

37 Kedesh, Edrei, En Hazor,

38 Iron, Migdal El, Horem, Beth Anath, and Beth Shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

39 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families, the cities with their villages.

40 The seventh lot came out for the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families.

41 The border of their inheritance was Zorah, Eshtaol, Irshemesh,

42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah,

43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron,

44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,

45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon,

46 Me Jarkon, and Rakkon, with the border over against Joppa.

47 The border of the children of Dan went out beyond them; for the children of Dan went up and fought against Leshem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and lived therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

48 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

49 So they made an end of distributing the land for inheritance by its borders. The children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun in the midst of them.

50 According to the commandment of Yahweh, they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in the hill country of Ephraim; and he built the city, and lived there.

51 These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers' houses of the tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before Yahweh, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. So they made an end of dividing the land.
