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.
