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.

1616. That 'Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt in the oak groves of Mamre which are in Hebron' means that the Lord arrived at a perception more interior still is clear from the meaning of 'moving one's tent', that is, moving it and pitching it once again, as the process of being joined together; for 'a tent' is the holiness of worship, as shown already in 414, 1452, by which the external man is joined to the internal. It is also clear from the meaning of 'an oak-grove' as perception, dealt with already in 1442, 1443, where the phrase that occurred was 'the oak-grove of Moreh', meaning a first perception, whereas here the plural 'the oak-groves of Mamre' is used, which means a fuller, that is, more interior perception. This perception is called 'the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron'. Mamre is also mentioned elsewhere in the Word, as in Genesis 14:13; 18:1; 23:17-19; 35:27; and Hebron too, in Genesis 35:27; 37:14; Joshua 10:36, 39; 14:13-15; 15:13, 54; 20:7; 21:11, 13; Judges 1:10, 20; and elsewhere. But what Mamre and Hebron mean where they are so mentioned will in the Lord's Divine mercy be seen when these other parts of the Word are explained.

[2] The implications of 'the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron' meaning perception more interior still are as follows: To the extent that those things belonging to the external man are joined to celestial things belonging to the internal man perception grows and becomes more interior. Conjunction with celestial things confers perception, for within the celestial things that belong to love to Jehovah dwells the life itself of the internal man, or what amounts to the same, within celestial things which belong to love, that is, within celestial love, Jehovah is present. This presence is not perceived in the external man however until the conjunction has taken place. All perception is the result of conjunction.

[3] From the internal sense here it is clear what the situation was in the Lord's case: His External Man, or Human Essence, was joined step by step to the Divine Essence as cognitions multiplied and became fruitful. No one can ever, insofar as he is human, be joined to Jehovah, or the Lord, except by means of cognitions, for it is by means of cognitions that a person is made human. This applied to the Lord too since He was born as any other is born, and received instruction as any other does. Yet in the cognitions He had as receptacles celestial things were being instilled continually, with the result that His cognitions were constantly being made into the recipient vessels of celestial things; and these vessels also were themselves made celestial.

[4] Constantly the Lord advanced in this manner towards the celestial things of infancy, for, as stated already, the celestial things which belong to love are being instilled in a person from earliest infancy to childhood and on into adolescence as well. Since he is a human being, at that time and later on he is endowed with knowledge and cognitions. If a person is such that he can be regenerated, that knowledge and those cognitions are filled with celestial things that belong to love and charity, and are accordingly implanted within the celestial things he was endowed with from infancy through to childhood and adolescence, and in this way his external man is joined to his internal. First of all they are implanted in the celestial things he was endowed with in adolescence, then in those he was endowed with in childhood, and finally in those he was endowed with in infancy. At that point he is 'the little child' regarding whom the Lord said 'of such is the kingdom of God'. This implanting is done by the Lord alone, and therefore nothing celestial with man either does or can exist with man that does not come from, and belong to, the Lord.

[5] The Lord however from His own power joined His External Man to His Internal Man and filled His cognitions with celestial things, and He implanted them in celestial things, doing so according to Divine Order. First of all He implanted them in the celestial things of childhood, then in the celestial things of the age of childhood and back to infancy, and finally in the celestial things of His infancy. In this way He at the same time became as regards the Human Essence Innocence itself and Love itself, from which derive all innocence and all love in heaven and on earth. Such Innocence is true Infancy because it is simultaneously Wisdom. But the innocence of infancy is of no use at all unless by means of cognitions it becomes the innocence of wisdom, and this is why little children in the next life are endowed with cognitions. As the Lord implanted cognitions in celestial things, so He had perception, for, as stated, all perception is the result of conjunction. He had His first perception when He implanted the facts acquired in childhood, a perception meant by 'the oak-grove of Moreh'; and He had His second, which is the subject here, and which is more interior, when He implanted cognitions, a perception meant by 'the oak-groves of Mamre which are in Hebron'.

895. 'The waters dried up from over the earth' means that falsities were not at that time apparent. This is clear from what has been stated. In particular these words mean that falsities had been separated from things of the will belonging to the member of this Church. The statement 'the waters dried up from over the earth' occurs at this point because here 'earth' means the person's will, which is nothing but evil desire. As stated already, the ground is situated in the understanding part of man's mind, in which part truths are sown. No sowing ever takes place in the will part, which in the spiritual man has been separated from the understanding part. This is why in the last part of this verse it is said that 'the face 1 of the ground was dry'. With the member of the Most Ancient Church there was ground in the will part of his mind, where the Lord implanted goods. It was from goods therefore that he was able to know and perceive truth, that is, it was from love that he was able to possess faith. If the same thing were to happen today however, a person would inevitably and eternally perish, for his will is utterly corrupted. What implantation in the will part entails and what in the understanding part becomes clear from the consideration that the member of the Most Ancient Church had in fact enjoyed revelations through which from early childhood onwards he was led into a perception of goods and truths. But since they used to be implanted in the will part of his mind he perceived without any further instruction the countless aspects of any one general matter. He knew from the Lord the details and the finer points which nowadays men must learn before knowing about them. And even then they can know scarcely one thousandth of them. For the member of the spiritual Church knows nothing unless he acquires it by learning; and what he gets to know in this fashion he retains and believes to be true. Indeed if he learns something false and this is impressed on him as though it were true, he believes that as well, for he has no other perception than that a thing is true because he has in that way been persuaded of it. People who possess conscience derive from conscience a certain dictate. Yet with them a thing is true only because they have heard and learned that it is. This is what constitutes their conscience, as becomes clear from people who have a conscience of what is false.
