1 Kareivijų Viešpats, Izraelio Dievas, apie Moabą sako: “Vargas Nebojui, jis apiplėštas; Kirjataimai paimti, tvirtovė sugėdinta ir sunaikinta.

2 Moabo garbė praėjo. Priešai Hešbone galvojo tave sunaikinti: ‘Pulkime, sunaikinkime Moabą ir pašalinkime jį iš tautų tarpo!’ Tu, Madmeno mieste, irgi nutilsi, kardas sunaikins tave!

3 Šauksmas girdimas Horonaimuose, plėšimas ir didelis sunaikinimas.

4 Moabas sunaikintas, verkia jo kūdikiai.

5 Jie kyla Luhito šlaitu verkdami, nusileidžia į Horonaimus, jų priešai girdi verksmą dėl sunaikinimo.

6 Bėkite, būkite kaip kadagys dykumoje.

7 Kadangi pasitikėjai savo darbais ir turtais, tu būsi paimtas. Kemošas išeis į nelaisvę kartu su kunigais ir kunigaikščiais.

8 Sunaikinimas pasieks kiekvieną miestą, nė vienas neišsigelbės. Slėniai ir lygumos bus sunaikintos.

9 Duokite Moabui sparnus, kad jis galėtų pabėgti! Jis bus visai sunaikintas, miestai ištuštės.

10 Prakeiktas, kas Viešpaties įsakymą nenoriai vykdo ir kas saugo savo kardą nuo kraujo.

11 Moabas gyveno be rūpesčių nuo pat savo jaunystės, jo mielės nusėdo; jis nebuvo perpilamas iš indo į indą ir nebuvo ištremtas. Todėl jo skonis liko tas pats ir kvapas nepasikeitė.

12 Ateis laikas, kai Aš siųsiu jam pilstytojų, kurie jį perpils, jo ąsočius ištuštins ir sudaužys.

13 Moabas gėdysis Kemošo, kaip Izraelis gėdijosi Betelio, kuriuo pasitikėjo.

14 Kaip galite sakyti: ‘Mes esame galingi vyrai, karžygiai!’

15 Moabas apiplėštas, jo miestai sunaikinti, rinktiniai jaunuoliai išėjo į pražūtį,­sako Karalius, kareivijų Viešpats.­

16 Moabo sunaikinimas artėja.

17 Apverkite jį, kaimynai ir visi, kurie žinote jo vardą. Sulaužytas jo stiprusis skeptras, puikioji lazda!

18 Nusileisk iš savo šlovės sosto į purvą, Dibono dukra! Moabo naikintojas ateis ir sugriaus tavo tvirtoves.

19 Sustok pakelėje, Aroero gyventoja, ir klausk pabėgėlį, kas atsitiko?

20 Moabas yra sumuštas ir nugalėtas! Šaukite ir dejuokite! Praneškite Arnone, kad Moabas apiplėštas.

21 Bausmė atėjo lygumos kraštui: Holonui, Jahacui, Mefaatui,

22 Dibonui, Nebojui, Bet Diblataimams,

23 Kirjataimams, Bet Gamului, Bet Meonui,

24 Kerijotams, Bocrai ir visiems Moabo miestams.

25 Nukirstas Moabo ragas ir jo petys sutriuškintas,­sako Viešpats.­

26 Nugirdykite jį, nes jis didžiavosi prieš Viešpatį. Moabas voliosis savo vėmaluose ir taps pajuoka.

27 Ar nesityčiojai iš Izraelio, lyg jis būtų vagis?

28 Moabo gyventojai, pasitraukite iš miestų ir gyvenkite uolose kaip balandžiai, susikrovę lizdą aukštai skardžiuose.

29 Mes girdėjome apie Moabo išdidumą, puikybę, akiplėšiškumą ir pasididžiavimą.

30 Aš žinau, kad jo pasigyrimas yra tuščias ir darbai niekam tikę.

31 Aš verkiu ir dejuoju Moabo ir Kir Hereso žmonių.

32 Aš verkiu dėl tavęs, Sibmos vynuogyne, daugiau negu dėl Jazero. Tavo atžalos nusidriekė per jūrą ir pasiekė Jazerą. Naikintojas užpuolė tavo vasaros vaisius ir vynuogyno derlių.

33 Džiaugsmas ir linksmybė dingo iš derlingų Moabo laukų. Aš pašalinau vyną iš spaustuvo, vyno mynėjas nebemina jo, džiaugsmo šūksnių negirdėti.

34 Šauksmas iš Hešbono pasiekia Elealę, jų aimanos girdimos iki Jahaco, o iš Coaro­iki Horonaimų ir Eglat Šelišijos. Ir Nimrimų vandenys išseks.

35 Aš sustabdysiu Moabe aukojimą ir smilkymą jų dievams aukštumose.

36 Mano širdis dejuoja kaip fleita dėl Moabo ir Kir Hereso žmonių. Jie neteko visų savo turtų, kuriuos turėjo.

37 Visų galvos nuskustos ir barzdos nukirptos; rankos suraižytos ir strėnos padengtos ašutinėmis.

38 Ant visų Moabo stogų ir aikštėse girdisi tik dejavimas. Aš sudaužiau Moabą kaip netinkamą indą,­sako Viešpats.­

39 Jie dejuos, sakydami: ‘Kaip sudaužytas, kaip sugėdintas Moabas!’ Jis taps pajuoka ir pasibaisėjimu visoms aplinkinėms tautoms.

40 Jis atskrenda kaip erelis ir ištiesia sparnus virš Moabo.

41 Jis paims tvirtoves ir miestus. Tą dieną Moabo kariai bus nuliūdę ir išsigandę kaip moterys.

42 Moabo tauta bus sunaikinta, nes ji didžiavosi prieš Viešpatį.

43 Išgąstis, duobė ir spąstai laukia jūsų, Moabo gyventojai!

44 Kas pabėgs nuo išgąsčio, įkris į duobę, kas išlips iš duobės, pateks į spąstus. Tai ištiks Moabą jų aplankymo metu.

45 Bėgantys ir netekę jėgų sustos Hešbono pavėsyje. Bet ugnis išeis iš Hešbono ir liepsna iš Sihono ir praris Moabo kaktą ir triukšmadarių galvos vainiką.

46 Vargas tau, Moabai! Tu žuvai, Kemošo tauta! Tavo sūnūs yra ištremti, tavo dukterys pateko į nelaisvę.

47 Bet Aš parvesiu Moabo ištremtuosius paskutinėmis dienomis,­ sako kareivijų Viešpats”. Toks yra Moabo teismas.

The Lord #52

52. 6. Jehovah himself - that is, the Lord - spoke the Word through prophets.

We read of the prophets that they had visions and that Jehovah talked with them. When they had visions, they were not focused on their bodies but on the spirit, in which state they saw things of a heavenly nature. When Jehovah talked with them, though, they were conscious of their bodies and heard Jehovah speaking.

We need to draw a clear distinction between these two states. In a visionary state, the eyes of their spirit were open and the eyes of their body were closed; and at such times they seemed to themselves to be taken from place to place while their bodies stayed where they were. Ezekiel, Zechariah, and Daniel were in this state at times, and so was John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. They were then said to be in a vision or in the spirit. In fact, Ezekiel says,

The spirit lifted me up and brought me back into Chaldea, to the captivity, in a vision from God, in the spirit of God. In this way the vision that I saw came over me. (Ezekiel 11:1, 24)

He says that the spirit lifted him up and that he heard an earthquake and other things behind him (Ezekiel 3:12, 14). He also said that the spirit lifted him up between earth and heaven and took him off into Jerusalem in visions from God, and he saw abominations (Ezekiel 8:3 and following).

That is why (again in a vision of God or in the spirit) Ezekiel saw the four beasts that were angel guardians (chapters 1; 10), and he saw a new earth and a new temple with the angel measuring them, as we are told in chapters 40-48. He says in chapter 40:2, that he was then in visions from God; and in chapter 43:5, he says that the spirit lifted him up at that time.

The same thing happened with Zechariah. There was an angel inwardly present with him when he saw a man riding among myrtle trees (Zechariah 1:8 and following); when he saw four horns and then a man with a measuring line in his hand (Zechariah 1:18; 2:1); when he saw Joshua the high priest (Zechariah 3:1 and following); when he saw a lampstand and two olive trees (Zechariah 4:1 and following); when he saw a flying scroll and a measuring basket (Zechariah 5:1, 6); and when he saw four chariots coming from between two mountains, along with horses (Zechariah 6:1 and following).

Daniel was in the same kind of state when he saw four beasts come up from the sea (Daniel 7:3) and when he saw battles between a ram and a goat (Daniel 8:1 and following).

We read in Daniel 7:1-2, 7, 13; 8:2; 10:1, 7-8 that he saw these things in visions. We read in Daniel 9:21 that he saw the angel Gabriel in a vision and talked with him.

Much the same happened with John when he wrote the Book of Revelation. He says that he was in the spirit on the Lord’s day (Revelation 1:10), that he was carried away in the spirit into the wilderness (17:3), to a high mountain in the spirit (21:10), that he saw horses in a vision (9:17), and elsewhere that he saw what he described, being therefore in the spirit or in a vision (1:2; 4:1; 5:1; 6:1; and in the particular chapters that follow).

1 Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar Enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath, (and they shall have their sides east [and] west), Dan, one [portion].

2 By the border of Dan, from the east side to the west side, Asher, one [portion].

3 By the border of Asher, from the east side even to the west side, Naphtali, one [portion].

4 By the border of Naphtali, from the east side to the west side, Manasseh, one [portion].

5 By the border of Manasseh, from the east side to the west side, Ephraim, one [portion].

6 By the border of Ephraim, from the east side even to the west side, Reuben, one [portion].

7 By the border of Reuben, from the east side to the west side, Judah, one [portion].

8 By the border of Judah, from the east side to the west side, shall be the offering which you shall offer, twenty-five thousand [reeds] in breadth, and in length as one of the portions, from the east side to the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in its midst.

9 The offering that you shall offer to Yahweh shall be twenty-five thousand [reeds] in length, and ten thousand in breadth.

10 For these, even for the priests, shall be the holy offering: toward the north twenty-five thousand [in length], and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south twenty-five thousand in length: and the sanctuary of Yahweh shall be in its midst.

11 [It shall be] for the priests who are sanctified of the sons of Zadok, who have kept my instruction, who didn't go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

12 It shall be to them an offering from the offering of the land, a thing most holy, by the border of the Levites.

13 Answerable to the border of the priests, the Levites shall have twenty-five thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be twenty-five thousand, and the breadth ten thousand.

14 They shall sell none of it, nor exchange it, nor shall the first fruits of the land be alienated; for it is holy to Yahweh.

15 The five thousand that are left in the breadth, in front of the twenty-five thousand, shall be for common use, for the city, for dwelling and for suburbs; and the city shall be in its midst.

16 These shall be its measures: the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred.

17 The city shall have suburbs: toward the north two hundred fifty, and toward the south two hundred fifty, and toward the east two hundred fifty, and toward the west two hundred fifty.

18 The remainder in the length, answerable to the holy offering, shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward; and it shall be answerable to the holy offering; and its increase shall be for food to those who labor in the city.

19 Those who labor in the city, out of all the tribes of Israel, shall cultivate it.

20 All the offering shall be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you shall offer the holy offering foursquare, with the possession of the city.

21 The residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy offering and of the possession of the city; in front of the twenty-five thousand of the offering toward the east border, and westward in front of the twenty-five thousand toward the west border, answerable to the portions, it shall be for the prince: and the holy offering and the sanctuary of the house shall be in its midst.

22 Moreover from the possession of the Levites, and from the possession of the city, being in the midst of that which is the prince's, between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, it shall be for the prince.

23 As for the rest of the tribes: from the east side to the west side, Benjamin, one [portion].

24 By the border of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side, Simeon, one [portion].

25 By the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west side, Issachar, one [portion].

26 By the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west side, Zebulun, one [portion].

27 By the border of Zebulun, from the east side to the west side, Gad, one [portion].

28 By the border of Gad, at the south side southward, the border shall be even from Tamar to the waters of Meribath Kadesh, to the brook [of Egypt], to the great sea.

29 This is the land which you shall divide by lot to the tribes of Israel for inheritance, and these are their several portions, says the Lord Yahweh.

30 These are the exits of the city: On the north side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure;

31 and the gates of the city shall be after the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates northward: the gate of Reuben, one; the gate of Judah, one; the gate of Levi, one.

32 At the east side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], and three gates: even the gate of Joseph, one; the gate of Benjamin, one; the gate of Dan, one.

33 At the south side four thousand and five hundred [reeds] by measure, and three gates: the gate of Simeon, one; the gate of Issachar, one; the gate of Zebulun, one.

34 At the west side four thousand and five hundred [reeds], with their three gates: the gate of Gad, one; the gate of Asher, one; the gate of Naphtali, one.

35 It shall be eighteen thousand [reeds] around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, Yahweh is there.
